💨 Abstract

"A Passage to India" explores religion as a central theme, with characters' reactions to the Marabar Caves suggesting a universal oneness, yet each interpreting it differently. The novel is described as a myth, with characters largely stereotypical. It is compared to E. Thompson's Farewell to India, with the latter providing a more accurate and subtle portrait of British India as the Raj ends.
