Question Numbers: 91-99Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.The real indictment against colonialism was to be found in the villages of India. There was rot at the top, in the thousands of young intellectuals trained in English schools for jobs that did not exist except in the limited Civil Service. The town and cities were frothing with unhappy young men, cultured and well educated, who could find no jobs and were not allowed by the old super-structure of the empire to create them.But the real proof of evil, I say again, was in the miserable villages. 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 compare 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 my heart; thin, big-bellied, and all with huge dark eyes! I wondered that any Englishman 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 English I did not know.
