"A Passage to India" by E. M. Forster is a novel published in 1924 set against the British Raj and Indian independence movement. When British visitor Adela Quested joins an expedition to the Marabar Caves with Indian physician Dr. Aziz, a disturbing incident occurs that leads to accusations of assault.
