It’s easy to blame a backward-moving culture that’s hostile to women, but rapid transformation is also part of the story. Enjoying the freedoms of the new India, many of its citizens have left traditional village life, but they have not found a new set of ethics in urban areas. When the accused go unpunished or justice takes forever to be delivered, it makes rape a way of life for Indian men.
I am one of those Westerners amused by India’s rapid growth and expanding social mobility. I lived in New Delhi while reporting on the country from 2002 to 2007, when there were hundreds of documented incidents of sexual violence in the capital. Delhi accounted for one-quarter of all rapes recorded in India in 2011. When I lived there, Indian women regularly urged me to move elsewhere— anywhere!—calling Delhi "India’s rape capital" and telling me terrifying stories of how unsafe the city was.
Of course, most Delhi residents don’t have the option to leave, nor do they want to. The city’s population has swelled with migrants from India’s poor rural areas. For them, Delhi represents opportunity. About 350 million Indians now live in cities, and an additional 250 million are expected to move to urban areas in the next two decades. Call centers and the hospitality sector in the capital have created jobs for even the slightly educated, making the middle-class dream seem more attainable than ever. However, India’s rural migrants do not find the education and work opportunities they expect in cities. Poverty, low social status and gender still prevent many from advancing.
The parents of the 23-year-old rape victim, who died a week ago, had moved the family to a middle-class New Delhi neighborhood from a poor village. This family, having sold land to help send her to college, had placed hopes in her, who had urged her two younger brothers to follow her to college. Having recently qualified as a trainee physiotherapist in a private Delhi hospital, she landed herself in a solidly middle-class profession.
It makes sense that this attack happened in Delhi, which appears to welcome modern women who go to college and work outside the home. They are vulnerable to sexual harassment or violence. But the city is not nearly as open as advertised. Because it is filled with rural migrants who speak dozens of languages and represent every class and religion, the city seems conflicted about what is acceptable. [br] Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?
选项
A、About 250 million Indians will move to New Delhi in twenty years.
B、It is easy for these migrants to find jobs in the service industry.
C、There is no gender discrimination in terms of employment in India.
D、New Delhi actually offers few opportunities of employment.
答案
B
解析
第三段的内容与此题有关。文中说,在未来的20年里,还有2.5亿人将举家搬迁到城市,但并不是新德里这一个城市。本段第五句讲,只要有点文化,就可以到服务行业找到工作,如做接线员或旅馆、饭店的服务员,这表明就业并不难。最后一句的内容是,贫穷、出身贫贱和性别歧视使很多人无法继续改变自己的命运。
