A Passage to India

Set during the British Raj, the novel explores the complex relationships between four key characters: Dr. Aziz, Mr. Cyril Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Miss Adela Quested. A pivotal incident at the Marabar Caves ignites a crisis when Adela mistakenly believes she has been assaulted by Aziz, leading to his trial and highlighting the racial tensions of the time. Forster's narrative delves into themes of cultural misunderstanding and colonialism, reflecting his own experiences in India and the broader struggle for independence.
