A Passage to India is a great masterpiece of E. M. Forster, an eminent English novelist who served in India during the British rule in the Indo-Pak-Bangladesh subcontinent. He was quite in touch with the social, political, cultural and religious conditions of the Indians who were under the subjugation of the British as their colony. His conception about the manner and etiquette of the Indians as well as his experience made it easy for him to make a contrast between the two classes of human race the Indians and the British by writing the book mentioned above where he made his endeavour to state whether friendly relationship is possible between the two nationalities representing the colonisers and the colonised. For this purpose, relevant data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire to some Masters students who read this novel. Moreover, a semi-structured interview of our junior colleagues having research work in the field has been conducted to reflect their attitudes in this regard. With this end in view he has depicted a good number of Indians and English characters in his novel in conjunction with his principal thought or philosophy about the Indian subjects and the superiority of the British showing signs of psychological clash with a diversity and distinction in their way living and thinking that has overshadowed the possibility of friendship. In spite of this, both teachers and students engaged in teaching and learning activities will benefit from this research work. Our main focus is to disseminate new ideas to others in pursuing this research work.
