What really happened in the Marabar caves? This is the mystery at the heart of E.M. Forster's 1924 novel, A Passage to India, the puzzle that sets in motion events highlighting an even larger question: Can an Englishman and an Indian be friends?

"It is impossible here," an Indian character tells his friend, Dr. Aziz, early in the novel.

"They come out intending to be gentlemen, and are told it will not do.... Why, I remember when Turton came out first. It was in another part of the Province. You fellows will not believe me, but I have driven with Turton in his carriage--Turton! Oh yes, we were once quite intimate. He has shown me his stamp collection.
"He would expect you to steal it now. Turton! But red-nosed boy will be far worse than Turton!
"I do not think so. They all become exactly the same, not worse, not better. I give any Englishman two years, be he Turton or Burton. It is only the difference of a letter. And I give any Englishwoman six months. All are exactly alike."

Written while England was still firmly in control of India, Forster's novel follows the fortunes of three English newcomers to India--Miss Adela Quested, Mrs. Moore, and Cyril Fielding--and the Indian, Dr. Aziz, with whom they cross destinies. The idea of true friendship between the races was a radical one in Forster's time, and he makes it abundantly clear that it was not one that either side welcomed. If Aziz's friend, Hamidullah, believed it impossible, the British representatives of the Raj were equally discouraging.

"Why, the kindest thing one can do to a native is to let him die," said Mrs. Callendar.
"How if he went to heaven?" asked Mrs. Moore, with a gentle but crooked smile.
"He can go where he likes as long as he doesn't come near me. They give me the creeps."

Despite their countrymen's disapproval, Miss Quested, Mrs. Moore, and Mr. Fielding are all eager to meet Indians, and in Dr. Aziz they find a perfect companion: educated, westernized, and open-minded. Slowly, the friendships ripen, especially between Aziz and Fielding. Having created the possibility of esteem based on trust and mutual affection, Forster then subjects it to the crucible of racial hatred: during a visit to the famed Marabar caves, Miss Quested accuses Dr. Aziz of sexually assaulting her, then later recants during the frenzied trial that follows. Under such circumstances, affection proves to be a very fragile commodity indeed.

Arguably Forster's greatest novel, A Passage to India limns a troubling portrait of colonialism at its worst, and is remarkable for the complexity of its characters. Here the personal becomes the political and in the breach between Aziz and his English "friends," Forster foreshadows the eventual end of the Raj. --Alix Wilber

4.0 von 5 Sternen Attitudes on Trial, 31. Juli 2000

Von	C. Colt "It Just Doesn't Matter" (San Francisco, CA United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)

A book can be read and enjoyed (or despised) on many levels. I enjoyed "A Passage to India" because of its authentic historical flavor and largely accurate portrayal of the English colonial mindset.

"A Passage to India" is essentially a trial of attitudes. These include the prejudice and disdain of the British toward their Indian colonial subjects, the fear and confusion the British experience when confronted by a cultural and artistic sensuality that vastly contradicts their own, and the hatred a victim feels toward his antagonists' entire race. The British accord the Indians with an inferior status and consequently are unable to treat them in a just or fair fashion. As a result, the British legal process becomes more of a persecution pageant than an instrument of justice. Similarly, the British cannot accept or comprehend the sensual quality of Indian art and culture. The stiff, repressed Ms. Questead is overwhelmed by her exposure to the erotic paintings of the Mahabara caves. When she experiences a mental collapse, the British assume that her condition is the result of sexual molestation and falsely accuse Dr. Aziz of this crime. When Dr. Aziz is acquitted he develops an implacable hatred not only for the British but also for his own attorney. Dr. Aziz's attitude is a direct response to his persecution and in this sense is, itself, a product of English colonialism.

Eventually Dr. Aziz realizes that he must judge and accept English people on a personal and individual basis. To accomplish this, his attitude toward them must be based on his direct experience with individuals, not on either party's identity as a European or an Indian.

While the overall plot of this novel is a little weak, the story is rich and its lessons are timeless.

4.0 von 5 Sternen A Good Read, 29. Juni 2000

Von	D. L. Smith (Chattanooga, TN USA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen

"A Passage to India" is one of those novels many of us avoided reading in high school. You know the ones on the "Recommended" book lists? We were wrong to have avoided this one so long. The novel takes place during the colonial occupation of India. An Indian doctor is falsely accused and imprisoned for the attack of an English women. It is a multi-layered story about how cultures clash and predjudice repels and destroys relationships. The author, weaves elements of Indian language, religions, and customs into the story from his travels to India.

DO READ this book if: -You like a story with a moral. -You enjoy exploring subtle symbolism. -You like to read and ponder as you go.

Do NOT read this book if: -You can't be bothered learning a few foreign words. -You like to read with "put your brain on hold". Those who are unwilling to carefuly reflect on what happens in this book will be very disappointed.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Unutterably moving, 26. Juni 2000

Von	Matthew Whittall (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)

This book tops my list of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. Forster's prose flows in a manner we have come to associate with the likes of Nabokov. It is perfumed throughout with infinitely subtles shades of emotion and character, and in addition to the compelling plot, Forster's story spirals effortlessly into the realm of the metaphysical, pondering the huge gulf that separates Eastern and Western thought, and casts doubt on whether the human race will ever be capable of unity.

Those who complain about "A Passage to India" moving too slowly, being to long or not providing enough excitement are simply missing the point. In a world of poorly crafted, hackneyed books where nothing is left for the reader to puzzle out, Forster's most cathartic, deeply moving novel sings from the heart in a direct, unhurried and uncomplicated manner. He arrives at the conclusion that only through love is it possible to attain God, or nirvana, or whatever you wish to call it, because in the end language, race and religion no longer matter. A spiritual journey from which the sensitive reader is unlikely to return soon.
