E. H. Forster wrote a book titled A Passage to India on his trip to
India in 1912-1913 and his time serving as the Maharajah of Dewas
State's private secretary in 1921-1922. Ross Masood, a friend of his,
was honoured in the dedication.A young British schoolteacher travels to
the fictional city of Chandrapore with an elderly friend. Adela must
choose whether or not she wants to wed Ronny Heaslop, the son of Mrs.
Moore. Young Indian Muslim doctor Dr. Aziz is having dinner with two of
his Indian friends when they start talking about whether it's feasible
to be friends with an Englishman.Cyril Fielding, the principal of
Chandrapore's government-run college for Indians, is introduced to
Adela. Adela is assisted by Aziz as she climbs to the upper caverns with
the aid of a guide. Aziz is detained and accused of abusing Adela
sexually. The run-up to his trial releases the racial tensions between
the British and Indians. Mrs. Moore dies during the voyage to England
before she can testify at Aziz's trial. At the trial, her absence from
India becomes a significant issue. Aziz is upset at Fielding for being
friends with Adela after she almost destroyed his life. The bond between
the two men weakens, and Fielding leaves for England.
