Heat and Dust presents the opposition between east and west based on difference and most importantly a process of inferiorization of the east. The west has stereotyped the orient with everything that the west is not. By exploring the novel, the research aims to reveal these attractive elements of difference which made superior British fall for the periphery and to exhibit the source of these differences. It attempts to prove that the reason for this attraction is found in the limitations of the western British culture which is supposedly superior, thus, the research challenged the superiority of the western cultures and the inferiorization of the oriental ones. The study is divided into two chapters in which the first highlights the theoretical background that manages the theories and the ideologies behind the behaviours of the characters such as, Orientalism, Eurocentrism, and determinism. The second chapter analyses the experiences of the characters in accordance with the aforementioned theories. It highlights, through characters, the Westerners' inferiorization of India as well as their fall for it. The research displays the binary opposition and reverses the stereotypical image of the west's superiority by shedding light on India's spirit of collectivism.
