Friendship was indeed a value for the villagers, more for men than for women. Two good friends were said to be 'like brothers' (literally, like elder brother-younger brother, annatammandirahage). I heard this expression several times and I could not help recalling the statement of an elderly English colleague who had told me that he and his brother were very close and had written to each other every week.

Which of the following best summarises the conclusion of the argument of this paragraph?
'Poverty is ... more restrictive and limiting than anything else. Its poverty and low standards continue then democracy, for all its fine institutions and ideals, ceases to be a liberating force.
