                                                                                 BRIDGE PARTY

In the Bridge Party that takes place at the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to some of these prejudices and cultural misunderstandings that are formed with the fusion of these two divergent cultures. The bridge party was a miserable affair. The Indian guests arrived at the bridge party before time but they kept to themselves. Turton came late and surveyed the gathering which was composed of Hindus Muslims and Parsees. There have been many events in the novel that illustrates this social difference between the British and the Indians. For instance, the Bridge Party can serve as an example of this lack of unity. “Would she like a Bridge Party? He explained to her what that was-not the game, but a party to bridge the gulf between Eastand West; Even though the Bridge Party was to serve as an “ice breaker” between the East and the West, it just so happened that its intention was not filled.

                                                                  Miss Adela Quested

Miss Adela Quested as mentioned in A Passage to India is an English girl who came to India with Mrs. Moore to meet her fiancé, Ronny Heaslop. Adela possessed plain and unattractive look. She was young and amiable but lacked that charm of youth. She faces a strange kind of hallucination in the caves, and accuses Aziz of making some insulting advances towards her. Later on, she withdraws her charges. Indian climate is very much telling upon her. It is under this troubled mental state that she loses sense of right and wrong evil overcomes her. Later on, the really good of her prevails, and her behaviour rests on cold justice and honesty. She, however, feels no passion of love for those whom she was wronged. She is deserted by all Englishman except Mr. Fielding. She is described by the author as “a lumpy, ordinary sort of girl” having real intrinsic decency. She becomes a symbol of the conflict between the two races.

                                                                                Mau

“A Passage to India” is a remarkable literary work of Edward Morgan Forster where he has portrayed culture as one of the central themes in this novel. He has focused two important aspects of this novel by describing the independent Hindu state Mau. Firstly, Forster has symbolically represented the muddle conditions of India as well as the characteristics of Indian people through the description of the Mau “its pillars and vaulting could scarcely be seen behind coloured rags”, “chandeliers of opaque pink glass, and murky photographs framed crookedly”. Secondly, he has exposed the muddle of religion. We find that the religious festival, on the occasion of Krishna’s birth at Mau, is disorderly represented. “God is love” is written as “God si love” which shows the ultimate failure of the fundamental philosophy of Hinduism of the oneness in all living things.
Finally, as a modern writer, E.M Forster has symbolically represented the cultural theme through the aesthetic description of the Indian architectures (Masque, Cave and Temple).
