Read this excerpt from "The Light of Gandhi's Lamp" by Hilary Kromberg Inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. To avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, I always looked instead at the little Chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. How does this passage affect the text

Answer:

Basically I think This passage want to convey a message that;

1) Because of the historical incidents of police, she has trust issues with police.

2) Its like a culture that police will do injustice to people and support the culprits.

3) Police will take out their frustration and anger on innocent people.

4) And at the same time, She doesn't want to think about it because she is scared for her sister.

It conveys the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.

She always did not want to look at the direction of the building to keep away the memories of the death and sufferings the people suffered from unlawful police officers during the apartheid period.
