A Passage to India

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of colonial India, the narrative explores the deep-seated prejudices and misunderstandings between the British and the native population. Central to the story is Dr. Aziz, a young Indian Muslim who befriends English visitors Adela Quested and Mrs. Moore. Their excursion to a cave leads to a catastrophic misunderstanding, resulting in Dr. Aziz being falsely accused of a crime. Forster masterfully illustrates his struggle for dignity and justice amidst the racial tensions of the time, making this work a profound commentary on oppression.
