Annadashankar Ray’s travelogue Pathe prabāse chronicles the life of an Indian (Bengali) in England and his travels around Europe in late 1920s and it is one the finest examples of travel writing in Bengali in the 20th century. With its rich descriptions of landscapes, everyday life, social order and political phenomena, it creates a consistent image of Europe and paradoxically also paints a certain image of India at the same time. This article aims to analyse such an image and reaches the conclusion that, despite the political changes in India at that time and the rise of the independence movement in particular, Ray’s travelogue depicts a deeply colonial image of the world and of the relationship between modern, technologically and socially advanced Europe and India that still has much to learn from much better developed nations.
