I added the infobox & removed the tag.
Rushdie's essay is 'Outside the Whale.' 'Inside the Whale' is written by George Orwell. I shall make this correction.
Some portions of this article make blanket generalizations or statements that offer more insight into the mind of the article's author than the novel. I would like to suggest re-editing to find a more scholarly tone.
Agreed. The plot summary is too detailed and does not use quotations where they would be appropriate. The author has put down assertions that are clearly not an encyclopedia's to make--"[this novel's being] perhaps [E.M. Forster's] greatest" comes to mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.122.246.243 (talk) 03:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. Whoever wrote the article made unsourced critical assertions. ("Synthesis of published material" as well as a lot of opinion.) I'm inserting an "original research" tag. Graymornings 20:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Question: I came across a poem by Walt Whitman called "A Passage to India" -- is this the source for the title? It seems likely. If so, that information should be stated on the page somewhere. Priceyeah 15:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bookcover a passage to india.jpg
Image:Bookcover a passage to india.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Poor
"A Passage to India has four central themes..." What? Was this copied from SparkNotes? The phrase/sentiment is restrictive and idiotic -- is it an incontrovertible fact that the novel contains four and only four "central themes"? Give me a break. The whole "themes" section needs work, and/or should be completely excised.Dooodle (talk) 23:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
