But, more than one to, there is a split between them because of standing and you will certain assumptions they generate in the each other due to nationality, faith and you can competition. Forster amplifies it to help you instance a qualification on state that this new surroundings alone happens among them. It’s unsurprising one to Dr Aziz gets completely jaded with the English and you will would like to reject them completely (and additionally Fielding) pursuing the embarrassment and you will wreck of being accused when he was. However, Fielding and is apparently stuck in the own necessity getting just how he believes India is going to be ordered as is evidenced of the their view of Venice he contrasts so you can India.

Close to after the past appointment ranging from so it collection of letters, the final area can be involved having good Hindu event – that is fascinating knowing that Forster discover new religion so powerful throughout the his travel to India.
