The cultural hegemony in Forster's Journey to India was reflected in his deep insight and criticism of Indian society and culture. Forster believed that the influence of modern western civilization on India had led to a profound change in Indian culture, which made Indian society and culture no longer traditional, independent and cultural autonomy. Therefore, during his stay in India, Forster deeply revealed the difficulties and challenges that Indian culture faced under the influence of Western civilization by studying Indian history, literature, philosophy, art and other fields. At the same time, Forster also tried to promote the self-transformation of Indian society and culture through his criticism of Indian society and culture, so as to provide useful reference and enlightenment for cultural exchanges and dialogue around the world.
