![]() ![]() Throughout the novel, the barriers of inter-racial friendship in a colonial context are explored vividly posing the question of whether it is possible for an Englishman and an Indian to ever be friends, at least within the context of British colonialism. ![]() E.M Forster’s A Passage to India represents the dichotomy between the Indian and British cultural aspects focusing the reciprocal relationship between the British colonies and the Indians in Chandapore and highlighting the contrast between the Indian and the European ideology. It also exposes the British inherent preconception toward Indians depicting the English characters as awesomely racially prejudiced, priggish, and inhumanly snobbish to the native inhabitants. It highlights the impact of ‘Englishness’ on the indigenous culture and identity. ![]() A Passage to India like every colonial discourse privileges the Europe and the European as ‘Us’, while the Indians and their culture are presented as inferior and ‘Other’. Forster portrays the colonizer’s ideology of superiority of White race and its culture and the constructed inferiority of India and Indians in this novel. E.M Forster’s A Passage to India portrays a colonial India under British imperialism, before its liberation from the occidental colonial rule. ![]()

DOZENS!” If anything, the Literary Gamer believes, reading and playing enhance systematic thinking and the mysteries of imaginative empathy. It would never occur to the Literary Gamer that one activity negates the other. Yet, in the diverse taxonomy of the modern gaming audience, there exists the Literary Gamer - someone for whom reading and playing are, and always have been, the same voyage. Then again, not every kid who reads a lot of books grows up to become an avid reader. Most kids who play a lot of video games don’t grow up to become avid readers. ![]() ![]() Keeping a team talent-dense is hard work, but it allows you to have dispersed decision-making.The keys to an exceptional company are high talent density, a lot of honesty, and not many useless policies.Netflix is such a huge success because of its unusual company culture.Let’s see how much we can discover in just 3 lessons They reveal the controversial ideologies at the company’s center that everyone can learn a thing or two from. ![]() Reed Hastings, founder of Netflix, teams up with business author Erin Meyer to give us a fascinating look into the exceptionally successful but unconventional business model of Netflix in No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention.

But honestly, Sally Rooney could write a novel about bath mats and I'd still read it. Normal People is a nuanced and flinty love story about two young people who 'get' each other, despite class differences and the interference of their own vigorous personal demons. The novel touches on class, politics, and power dynamics and brims with the sparky, witty conversation that Rooney's fans will recognize." - Vogue "A future classic." - The Guardian " Rooney is a tough girl her papercut-sharp sensibility is much more akin to writers like Rachel Kushner, Mary Gaitskill, and the pre- Manhattan Beach Jennifer Egan. ![]() " has invented a sensibility entirely of her own: sunny and sharp, free of artifice but overflowing with wisdom and intensity. ![]() ![]() PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
