A Passage To India

Dr Aziz is a young Muslim physician in the British Indian town of Chandrapore. One evening he comes across an English woman Mrs Moore in the courtyard of a local mosque; she and her younger travelling companion Adela are disappointed by claustrophobic British colonial culture and wish to see something of the real India. But when Aziz kindly offers to take them on a tour of the Marabar caves with his close friend Cyril Fielding the trip results in a shocking accusation that throws Chandrapore into a fever of racial tension.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Edward Morgan Forster was born in London in 1879 attended Tonbridge School and went on to King`s College Cambridge in 1897 where he retained a lifelong connection and was elected to an Honorary Fellowship in 1946.He died in June 1970.
