A Passage to India

Set against the backdrop of British colonial rule in India, A Passage to India explores the tense and complex relationship between the colonizers and the colonized. When Dr. Aziz, an Indian Muslim, is accused of assaulting an Englishwoman during a trip to the Marabar Caves, the trial exposes deep racial and cultural divisions. E. M. Forster's masterpiece is a powerful examination of friendship, prejudice, and the possibility of connection across societal divides.
