A Passage to India is a 1984 British drama directed by David Lean, adapted from E. M. Forster's novel. Set in the closing days of the Raj, it follows Englishwoman Adela Quested and her unsettling perceptions of India after a troubling encounter, and her fragile friendship with Dr. Aziz, an Indian physician. As rumors, prejudice and colonial power collide, the film explores trust, belonging, and the fragile possibility of cross-cultural understanding in a divided country.
