Is friendship between the Indian & the British possible according to E.M Forter's A Passage to India?

Forster
repeatedly advised in his writings to "only connect" as the antidote to animosity and
enmity, but colonialism showed him otherwise. And he learned that the hard way, for Aziz is
modeled after a lover that meant a good deal to him in his life.  Consider the end of the novel:
Aziz says, "half kissing" Fielding, that after the English leave India, they will be
friends.  Fielding ressponds, holding Aziz "affectionately, 'Why can't we be friends
now?'" because they both want that. "But the horses didn't want it--they swerved
apart; the earth didn't want it....the temples, the tank, the jail, the palace, the birds, the
carrion ... didn't want it, they said in their hundred voices, "'no, not yet,'" and
the sky said, 'No not here.'"  As all of these aspects of nature indicate (even the horses
draw apart), friendship between colonizer and colonized goes against the order of colonialism
for colonialism itself is unnatural.
