A Passage to India was divided by E. M. Forster into three parts. The first part, "Mosque," begins with view of the fictional city of Chandrapore, India.


The narrative shifts to Dr. Aziz, a young Muslim doctor in India who was called away from dinner with his friends by his superior at the hospital, Major Callendar.

Aziz is especially annoyed with Major Callendar, the civil surgeon,who makes his life disgraceful .


He then visits to the local mosque, where he meets Mrs. Moore, an Englishwoman who has recently arrived to visit her son, Ronny Heaslop, with his love interest, Adela Quested.

Aziz is moved and surprised that an English person would treat him like a friend. 
He was quite confusion about whether or not an Indian can be friends with an Englishman in India. 


After the mosque, Mrs. Moore arrives at the club just as Adela announces to the members of the club that she would like to see the real India. Mr. Turton, the collector who governs Chandrapore, hosts a party so that Adela and Mrs. Moore may have the opportunity to meet some of the more prominent and wealthy Indians in the city. At the event, which proves to be rather awkward, Adela meets Cyril Fielding, the principal of the government college in Chandrapore. Fielding, impressed with Adela’s open friendliness to the Indians, invites her and Mrs. Moore to tea with him and the Hindu professor Godbole. At Adela’s request, Fielding invites Aziz to tea as well. 

At the tea, Aziz and Fielding immediately become friendly, and the afternoon is overwhelmingly pleasant until Ronny Heaslop arrives and rudely interrupts the party. Later that evening, Adela tells Ronny that she has decided not to marry him. But that night, the two are in a car accident together, and the excitement of the event causes Adela to change her mind about the marriage.

Aziz skips work for a few days for illness. Aziz's friends, including Hamidullah, stop by to see how he's doing, followed by Fielding. After the rest of the guests leave, Aziz detains Fielding in order to show him a photograph of his dead wife as a gesture of friendship.


In Part 2, "Caves," hearing  a false information that 
 Adela is offended that Aziz has not invited them out to the caves, Aziz invites Adela and Mrs. Moore for the picnic .

Fielding Reminds Aziz about the spend of money so that he should give up that idea . 

On the morning of the picnic, Aziz meets Adela and Mrs. Moore at the train station, but Fielding and Godbole arrive too late to take the train. Aziz, Adela, Mrs. Moore, and the rest of their party proceed to the Marabar Caves.
In the tour of the first cave, Mrs. Moore feels ill and is shaken to her spiritual core by the troubling echo within the cave. She stays behind at the picnic site while Adela follows Aziz and the guide to other caves. Just as Adela comes to a realization that she doesn't love Ronny, she asks Aziz about his wife and marriage but he slips to another cave to escape her. Distracted, Adela also walks into a cave.

when  Aziz come back, he notices that Adela is missing. Aziz also notices that a car is driving by the hills below. When he returns to the picnic site, he is greeted by Fielding. Together with Mrs. Moore, they return to Chandrapore, but upon their arrival, Aziz is arrested for allegedly attacking Adela. 
Fielding spends the rest of the day working for Aziz's release. At the club, the British gather to discuss Adela's case. Fielding defends Aziz's innocence, in front of Ronny Heaslop and the rest of the club members. 
Because of supporting Aziz he has to face insult at club and he leaves the club membership .

After Adela recovers from her injuries at the McBrydes' bungalow, she returns to Ronny's bungalow, where Mrs. Moore, still overwhelmed by her experience in the caves, speaks incoherently and unpleasantly to Adela. Unwilling to participate in the trial, Mrs. Moore, with Ronny's help, arranges to sail back to England.

After Mrs. Moore leaves, Adela stays with the Turtons. On the day of the trial, the Turtons take Adela to the courthouse. In the courtroom, McBryde opens the case against the defendant. 
When Adela takes the stand, she suddenly realizes her mistake and withdraws her charge against Aziz. The courtroom is thrown into a tumult (দাঙ্গা). Adela is carried out of the courtroom by the crowds. Fielding rescues her and drives her back to the college for safety. Meanwhile, Aziz and his party decide to attack the hospital, but Lal's ready with protect it  .

Ronny visits Adela at Fielding's house , where he tells the news of Moore's death on the boat out to England. Fielding lets Adela stay at the college while he goes to Aziz's victory celebration, where he tries to convince Aziz not to pursue a lawsuit for damages against Adela. Later, Aziz decides not to press charges against Adela.

Ronny break off their engagement of marriage , Adela returns to England. 
There is a news spreading that Adela and Fielding had an affair while she was staying at the college . Aziz became angry  with Fielding, who also leaves for England before their friendship is repaired.

In Part 3, "Temple," the novel fast-forwards several years to Mau during the rainy season. Godbole, the Minister of Education at Mau, directs the Gokul Ashtami festivities while Aziz, now a doctor at Mau.Fieldin came back to Mau form England with his wife and meet Aziz . Aziz thought fielding married with Adela his enemy but soon he  realizes his mistake: Fielding has married Stella Moore, Mrs. Moore's daughter, not Adela. Aziz's antagonism toward Fielding and his party melts when he talks with Ralph alone in their guest quarters.


Aziz takes Ralph out on the Mau tank to view the festivities, but their boat collides with Fielding and Stella's. Everyone ends up in the water. The novel ends as Fielding and Aziz go on a horse ride together, with the mutual realization that circumstances prevent them from maintaining their friendship.

ব্রিটিশদের ঔপনিবেশিক সুলভ আচরণ
ব্রিটিশ শাসনের অধীনে  ভারতবাসীদের  জীবন- যাত্রার একটি প্রকৃত চিত্র । ব্রিটিশ "রাজ" (ভারতের ঔপনিবেশিক সাম্রাজ্য) 1858 থেকে 1 9 47 পর্যন্ত স্থায়ী হয়।
ভারতীয়দের প্রতি বিট্রিশ রাজ অত্যাচার এবং শোষন করেন । তাদের কে তারা শুধু শাসন করতেন আর নিকৃষ্ঠ মনে করতেন ।
উপন্যাস ফরস্টার জুড়ে “muddle” and “mystery”  এই দুটি শদ্ব  ব্যবহার করেন ভারতকে বর্ণনা করার স্বতন্ত্র পদ বলে ।

A “muddle”  দিয়ে একটি "বিভ্রান্তি" বিশৃঙ্খলা এবং অর্থহীন জঞ্জাল বোঝা যায় । mystery” রহস্য দিয়ে অন্তর্নিহিত উদ্দেশ্য   বিভ্রান্তিকর কিছু প্রস্তাব বুঝান হয় । অন্যদিকে বন্ধুত্বের বিষয় খুব গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হয়ে ওঠে । বন্ধুত্ দুটি  ব্যক্তির মধ্যে সবচেয়ে শক্তিশালী সংযোগ হিসাবে দেখানো হয়। এই বিষয় ফস্টারের মানবতাবাদী দর্শনের সাথে সম্পর্কযুক্ত - যা বলে যে বন্ধুত্ব, আন্তঃব্যক্তিগত দয়া, এবং সম্মান ভাল জন্য সর্বাধিক বাহিনী হতে পারে
