Abstract

<jats:p>ISA stands for Ideological State Apparatus. It includes several ISAs i.e. Educational ISA, Religious ISA, Political ISA, Social and Cultural ISA, Media ISA, etc. The novel “A Passage to India by E.M Foster” is a good example of these ISAs. This novel is based on the subject of orientalism, colonialism, and British rule. It discloses the stereotypical image of the Orientals and the continuous process of constructing or brainwashing to which newcomers are subjected, to generate colonizers who are all the same. This study aims to discuss political and religious ISAs in the novel “A Passage to India” by E. M Foster. Further, this research is also based on the application of religious and Political domains of ISA, the study of the relation of ISA with colonialism, and the study of the effects of ideology on society.</jats:p>
