He is one of the few indians who had also good relationship with the british. He did not hate the british, and wanted to talk to them and he believed that not every english man or woman are alike and he was right with his experience with Mrs Moore and Mr Fielding.

I think Aziz is different from other Indians because he likes some English people, despite most of the Indians have sentiments of hatrede towards the British, because they see them as their exploiters.

Aziz is more tolerant and does not judge all the English for their treatment of most Indians... simple as that

Aziz is an important character because he represents the "good side" of the culture....he becomes friends with the british and respects them while the british don't give value to the indians.
For example he takes off his collar to Mr. Fielding, or waits for Mrs. Moore outside of the bar without protesting about the fact that the Indians are ignored and left out by the British.

Dr. Aziz is important because he is the "link" of the two ethnicities, showing the possibility of having a positive relationship. Although he is part of a higher society, he demonstrates his kind aspect by being friends with a British of a lower class, Mr. Fielding. He does not maltreat Mr. Fielding as he may have done as a "revenge" against the British, but he keeps a good relationship, that can be defined as "homosociality" as it was written in Sparknotes.
