Adela Quested and Mrs. Moore arrive in Chandrapore and clash with the closed Anglo-Indian society. To escape that life and see the real India, they befriend Dr. Aziz, a cultured Muslim. An excursion to the Marabar Caves ends in an ambiguous incident; Aziz is accused of assaulting Adela, and his trial exposes colonial racism.

For readers of British literary classics and novels that explore colonialism, racism, and cultural clash.
Edward Morgan Forster was an English author. He is best known for his novels, particularly A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). He also wrote numerous short stories, essays, speeches and broadcasts, as well as biographies and pageant plays. His short story "The Machine Stops" (1909) is often viewed as the beginning of technological dystopian fiction. He also co-authored the libretto to Benjamin Britten's opera Billy Budd (1951). Many of his novels examine class differences and hypocrisy. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work.
