Mrs Moore is a kind of mystical figure, and there is a fair amount of mysticism woven through the book, Professor Godbole talks a lot about fate and how you are destined to be upon a certain path and you just have to accept it. She does seem to become cold, though; both to Adela and to Aziz. She dies on the voyage home - perhaps she had a premonition of death at the Marabar Caves, and that's why she suddenly loses interest in the human lives around her. Have you seen the David Lean film? It's so beautifully filmed, and the courtroom scenes are very powerful. Apparently, EM Forster was asked many years later whether Aziz was guilty or not, and he hinted that he was guilty, but that may have been him becoming disillusioned over time. Ps I don't think you were reading anything into Cyril and Aziz's relationship - there is definitely homoeroticism there!
I like the idea of Mrs Moore having some kind of premonition at the caves, or at the very least, a recognition that her life is coming to an end and this affects her in the way that it does. Yeah I've seen the film, it's one of my favourites! Interesting that Forster said this, my feeling was that it was the driver or no one at all. Given that we get insight into Aziz's thoughts, it would be odd for him not to reveal it.
Hey, as an Indian myself, I recommend A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth (for the North) and the slimmer manbooker prize-winning The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy if you found India interesting and want to see Independent India through a native…both have great narratives and characters!
Why does Mrs Moore become less sympathetic? It has always seemed to me that she becomes tired and worn out and her ability to empathise with others drains away, this being caused partly by a decline in her general energy, but more by weariness with the hostility of the British community, especially Ronnie, to the Indians. To me it is very convincing.

Always love seeing your face appear in the subscriptions tab 🫶🏾
Aww thanks! I'll be reappearing a few more times in the weeks to come. Finally made up a bit of a backlog of videos to avoid future disappearing acts!
