Cultural Representation and the Foreign Gaze in Sam Miller’s A Strange Kind of Paradise: India through Foreign Eyes

Author(s) Mr. Harin Jayantigiri Goswami, Dr. Om Pradipkumar Joshi
Country India
Abstract This research paper examines the representation of Culture in Sam Miller’s travelogue, A Strange Kind of Paradise: India Through Foreign Eyes. Travel literature has long served as the medium for mediating cultural exchanges and influencing perceptions of remote regions and people. Miller's account, which is based on his travels around India, presents a distinctive fusion of sociocultural criticism, irony, observation, and curiosity. Through his journeys across different cultures and landscapes, his engagement with history, and his observations of everyday life, Miller portrays an India that seems diverse, vibrant, and much too complicated to be summed up in simple terms. This study also demonstrates how his use of humour, personal anecdotes, and reflective commentary becomes a powerful narrative strategy that reshapes the way India is imagined in the text, while also deepening our understanding of cultural difference and identity. The researcher will use textual analysis for this paper. The objective of this paper is to explore Indian culture through the select work of Sam Miller. This study illustrates how foreign writers like Sam Miller show us the reality of India without any prejudices. Miller documents the reality of Indian people and places, his experiences while travelling from place to place, and he also goes deep into the history of India. Overall, the paper explores how Sam Miller’s travelogue plays an important role in shaping wider discussions on how India is seen, represented, and interpreted by outsiders.
