Set in 1920s British-ruled India, E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India is a profound exploration of friendship, prejudice, and cultural misunderstanding in a world divided by empire. The novel follows the story of Dr. Aziz, a young Indian physician, and his encounters with British newcomers Adela Quested and Mrs. Moore. When an incident during a trip to the Marabar Caves sparks a scandal, simmering tensions between colonizers and the colonized erupt into mistrust and division.
Celebrated for its lyrical prose, deep character studies, and exploration of race, religion, and empire, Forster’s masterpiece continues to resonate as a powerful commentary on human connection in the face of social and political barriers.
