A Passage to India by E.M. Forster (1924)
Based on the English author’s experiences in India, A Passage to India is the story of the trial of Dr. Aziz, an Indian man accused of assaulting a British woman. Regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, it also fared well on the silver screen, with the 1984 film version winning two Oscars.
