Question Description
Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.The real indictment against colonialism was to be found in the villages of India. There was a rot at the top, too, in the thousands of young intellectuals trained in English schools for jobs that did not exist except in the limited Civil Service.

I thought I had seen poverty in China, yet when I saw the Indian villages, I knew that the Chinese peasant was rich in comparison. Only the Russian peasant I had seen years before, could be compared with the Indian villager, although that Russian was a very different creature and inferior in many ways.And the children, the little children of the Indian villages how they tore at my heart: thin, big bellied, and all with huge dark eyes! I wondered that any English could look at them and not excuse himself three hundred years of English occupation and rule, and could there be children like this? Yes, and millions of them!And the final indictment surely was that the life span in India was only twenty-seven years. Twenty-seven years! No wonder then that a man married very young so that there could be children, as many as possible before he died. I loved England, remembering all the happy journeys there, but in India I saw an England I did not know.Q.
