The whole symphony of “A Passage to India”, with the complex ensemble of colonialism, trade, culture, race and religion turns insistently to the mystery behind the nameless horror of the Marabar caves. The deafening echo has a profound impact on Mrs. Moore and from the dark recesses of the cave blares the universal essence of human life. In the face of the dreadful moment, a confrontation between the authentic “I”, (Dasein) and the inauthentic “I”, (Das Man) ensues that makes her realize the predicament of the modern man. The paper attempts to analyse the novel within the framework of Martin Heidegger’s theory of Being-in-the-world and thereby foster the ideal of inclusiveness of all life forms.
