Abstract

Colonialism has an important effect in the whole world history. The impacts of this period are still vivacious. In addition to social, political, cultural repercussions colonialism has also a profound reflection on literature. Today the literature ensued by this period is interpreted under two headings. They are the colonial and the postcolonial literatures. A Passage to India joins the group of colonial literature. A Passage to India provides valuable source data to obtain an understanding of the general atmosphere of colonization period in India. The themes, messages and contents implicated in this novel make it as a touchstone for a straight assessment of that period. Generally the prospect of colonization is regarded from one perspective. A Passage to India gives a chance to perceive the process from both sides. The concern of this study is to thrust the incidents and themes from two perspectives to the forefront.
