The British representation of India in 20th century literature, which is the main concern of my paper and to present it I would like to display British impact and their mentality during 18th and 19th century India. I am going to evaluate E. M. Forster's A Passage to India (1924) in my way of discussion because of its loaded details about both the races, their views and particularly India during 20th century. The colonizer's ideology, racial tension, clash of culture, Hindu-Muslim conflict and several others are the crucial aspects of this very novel which perfectly fits my purpose of discussion. The final attempt of my argument is based on the Western or British impact upon post-Independent India and their way of viewing India in the 21 st century.

In our way of discussing women character in Shakespeare's plays, we have to cast a view upon social condition of women, Queen Elizabeth's influence, its stage plays and many others. In this very paper I am going to project three different types of woman and try to determine them socially during Queen Elizabeth's reign. Amongst the other huge number of women character, few important characters are categorized and discussed briefly. And mostly Shakespeare's intelligence and skill in fitting them in a right place and in a right manner is also a central theme of my paper. The various characters with their fluency, their obstacles, their dealings with men and above all Shakespeare's managing of them is purposefully presented on my discussion. In a word, Shakespeare's view upon his female characters, weather it is glorious, jovial or timid investigated argumentatively.

Throughout the discussion of this particular prospect, this paper would aim to bring out the principles of Post-Colonial aspects and to show how every aspects finely deals with every situations and conditions of this very play. The three different colonized being is shown here and their attitudes towards their master, are an interesting one. The master-slave relationship and projecting Caliban as a primitive, savage, monster who wants nothing but freedom got exploited in the hands of his colonizer, Prospero, is the main purpose of this discussion. The ultimate effect of colonization over Caliban and his helplessness and mostly Prospero's apathy towards Caliban, ties the knot of the discussion here.
