  • "A Passage to India" is a 1924 novel by E.M. Forster about relationships between Britain and India in the last days of the British Raj and the struggle for Indian independence. The novel opens with Adela Quested and Mrs. Moore arriving at India. Adela is to marry Ronny Heaslop, Mrs. Moore's son and the city magistrate. While visiting a mosque one night, Mrs. Moore meets Dr. Aziz, an Indian physician. The two become close friends. At a later visit, Dr. Aziz agrees to take Mrs. Moore, Adela, Cyril Fielding (a pro-Indian teacher at a local school) and Narayan Godbole (a Hindu-Brahmin professor) to a visit to the Marabar Caves. Something happens when Adela enters a cave by herself-the book is never clear on just what it is. She leaves the cave bloody and discheveled, and accuses Dr. Aziz of raping her. The man is arrested, which leads to the Indian community and Fielding spring to Aziz's defense. Fielding is ostracized from the English community. Mrs. Moore is criticized by Ronnie for her belief that Aziz is innocent and her unwillingness to testify at the trial. A film of the book was made in 1984, directed by David Lean.
