"A Passage to India"
This book
tells about two englishwomen, the young Miss Adela Quested
and the elderly Mrs. Moore,
travel to India. Adela expects to become engaged to Mrs. Moore’s son, Ronny,
a British magistrate in the Indian city of Chandrapore. Adela and Mrs. Moore
each hope to see the real India during their visit, rather than cultural
institutions imported by the British. At the same time, Aziz, a young Muslim
doctor in India, is increasingly frustrated by the poor treatment he receives
at the hands of the English. Aziz and two of his educated friends, Hamidullah
and Mahmoud Ali, hold a lively conversation about whether or not an Indian can
be friends with an Englishman in India. That night, Mrs. Moore and Aziz happen
to run into each other while exploring a local mosque, and the two become
friendly. Aziz is moved and surprised that an English person would treat him
like a friend.
