Cultural Interaction in a Passage to India

The article focuses on cultural interaction from a historical, social, religious, and economic point of view in A Passage to India, book, and film. Can an Englishman and an Indian be friends? Two conflicting cultures, which, through the lens of a holistic approach, will be observed through elements of ethnology, ethnocentrism, human thinking, and behavior. The conclusion of the article will highlight the fact that, despite apparent cultural reconciliation, the characters, both British and Indian, are not ready yet to eradicate the racial tensions and prejudices inherent in both cultures, and hence, are incapable of cultural and human cooperation in a productive way.
