This paper seeks to analyze the relationship between cultural identity, misogyny, and racism in E. M. Forster's A Passage to India. Anglo-Indian society in the novel is analyzed through Edward Said's Orientalism and Stuart Hall's concept of identity formation as a dynamic process to establish the imbalanced power dynamics between gender and race in the text. In doing so, this paper explores how false notions of knowledge regarding Indians and women lead to a sense of superiority for the British characters, which influences the position of both groups within the social hierarchy of British India. It illustrates the complexity of British identity and its effects on the colonial structure, echoing the novel's message that progressive change cannot happen unless this structure is dismantled.
