People who influenced me: E M Forster


E M Forster had an Indian background. His

'Passage to India' captures the Indian mind of the colonial times or perhaps the English mind of the colonial times. It deviates from the historical in that it shows the good relations that existed between the English and the Indians although the unexplained twist at the end is variedly interpreted as the inscrutability of the Indian mind among other things. Other things include that 'the east is east and the west is west'.
