Abstract
The psychological terms attitude and prejudice have a conscious link with the behaviour and
expression of the individuals. Attitude is an external factor which may be positive or negative, or
both at the same time. Forster in his novel, A Passage to India, has identified the root cause of
tension and disaffection between the colonizers and the subjugated class. He observes that the
colonial attitude has created a gulf between the two communities and they remain apart from each
other. The colonial attitude of the colonial rulers keeps them in isolation, away from the colonized.
He has also discussed the other psychological phenomena like hysteria, claustrophobia,
hallucination, schizophrenia, inferiority and superiority complexes. He further adds that the
colonized characters believe in superstitions while the colonizer characters are the victims of
hallucination.
