Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
This further study relates to the thoughts of Pride and Prejudice of contemporary perspectives of India when the tree of British East India Company was spreading its roots all around the world profoundly. Being a British writer, E.M. Forster exposed his thoughts over the colonial power and native Indians through which, the good, the bad and the ugly practices were upheld very well. He philosophized over the paradoxical ideologies of the British and the Indians who, in most of the times, were vindictive towards each others. They treated each others in different sensual issues and activities. They thought themselves inferiors always fought against one another. Gender, class, age, and religion are all dissimilarities which lead the characters in this novel to experience a certain disdain, trepidation or hostility towards one another, even whilst at the same time, suffering from prejudices. This novel is really a total exploration of the prejudices and outlandish notions that people of all colors and creeds grasp, and of how they are nothing but hindrances to relationships. In this modern age, this fiction has the same appeal towards the readers as it was in the past. However, it is our discussing point how these two rivalries were engaged in their prides and prejudices. Keywords: Pride, Prejudices, Imperialism, Culture, Racism, Vindictiveness.
