In the book Nector in a Sieve which i am reading in english 10. There is a pretty big difference in the role of each gender. The men are the providers; they do the farming in order to provide money and food for their families, they have a lot of pressure on them to stay strong for the family. I have learned that becacause one the of main characters in the book Nathan is starting to feel that he is helpless for his family and that he is not doing a good job at being the provider. The women have a lot more that is expected of them. They must be married off at a young age wiht the man there parents choose for them , they must clean, and have children and those children should be sons, they also must do most of the raising of their children, and they get less food then the rest of the family. Men and women in India have very different roles from each other but it seems that they do treat eachohter with some sense of respect.
