Abstract
The thesis stands on the orientalist reading, of E.M. Forster'sThe Hill of Devi
which unfolds the negative British gaze on India, its people, culture and civilization.
The study, entirely made on orientalism, proceeds by raising the issues of power,
hegemony and representation of India through an ulterior perspective. The images and
stereotypes about India and Indian people are undeniably orientalist and the
researcher has made a great deal of effort to justify that the negative British gaze of
the novelist on India and its culture comes through the sharing of orientalism.
