E.M. Forster is not only a novelist but also a short story writer, a romantic idealist, a humanist thinker. He is also a writer of social issues. His literary career spans the first quarter of the twentieth century; an age of science, an era of material, prosperity and affluence has been ushered in. He was aware of the social difference, colonialism, racism and other evil issues of our society. E.M. Forster's novel "A Passage to India" published in 1924 and considered one of the author's finest works. The novel examines racism and colonialism and the problem of human relationship very effectively. His female characters in his novels have very significant role. It is obvious that his female characters are well aware of the fast changing values of the modern world. Lilia from "Where Angels Fear to Tread" is a complex female figure whose psychology is difficult to read out. Forster is a novelist who believes in tolerance and modesty, in friendship and personal relationship and in peace and freedom.
