This is my humble comment on the "Bridge Party" in Forster's A Passag to India...wish u good luck and don't forget me in ur prayes

[align=justify]
The so-called "Bridge Party" does not bridge the gap between the colonizer, English people, and the natives. It is held on the honour of Mrs. Moore and Miss Quested who have come recently to India. They desire to see the real country and its people. However, this prearranged party that is the first time English have in their Club widens the gulf and worsen matters between the two nations. There are many boundaries that they should transcend. It is not the arrogance or racism but many others, indeed. Notice how Mr. and Mrs. Turton consider welcoming the Indian guests as a kind of work that they
have to do out of responsibility not for anything else. Mr Turton just wanders among his guests shaking hands and making jokes though he believes that everyone of them has come for some business or another. Notice, also, the boundaries in sense of language. Mrs. Moore asks Mrs. Turton to apologize to the Indian ladies because she does not speak their language, at the moment an Indian lady replies that she speaks little English which surprises Mrs. Moore and Adela. In the party, people are supposed to interact togather regardless of their nation; however, what happens is completely the opposite. For instance, when it is arranged to have two teams; one is of Indians and the other is English, to play Pollo, Indians have been excluded from the game. Even the food served in the party shows the how the gap is getting wider as they serve India and English food and people from each nation sit separately except Fielding who has food with Indians. In brief, the party does not achieve the intended purpose of it but increases suspicions among people. There are many examples, actually. In the first chapter there is the description of Chandrapore, and how it looks like two different places: one inhabited by the natives and the other for English people. The two sides of the city shares nothing but the sky as if Forester says the two nations may meet only if they transcend the earthly various boundaries.
