A Passage to India is a novel written by English author E. M. Forster, first published in 1924. The narrative unfolds in the fictional city of Chandrapore in British India during the early 20th century. The novel explores the complex relationships between the British colonizers and the Indian people, focusing on the experiences of Dr. Aziz, a young Indian Muslim physician, and his interactions with English visitors, particularly Mrs. Moore and Adela Quested. The plot takes a dramatic turn when an accusation of assault leads to a trial that exposes the deep-seated cultural misunderstandings and tensions between the British and Indian communities.
