Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct most appropriate options:

Each drop represents a little bit of creation and of life itself. When the monsoon brings to northern India the first rains of summer, the parched earth opens its pores and quenches its thirst with a hiss of ecstasy. After baking in the sun for the last few months, the land looks cracked, dusty and tired. Now, almost overnight, new grass springs up, there is renewal everywhere, and the damp earth releases a fragrance sweeter than any devised by man.

Water brings joy to earth, grass, leaf bud, blossom, insect, bird, animal and the pounding heart of man. Small children run out of their homes to romp naked in the rain. Buffaloes, which have spent the summer listlessly around lakes gone dry, now plunge into a heaven of muddy water. Soon the lakes and rivers will overflow with the monsoon’s generosity, Trekking in the Himalayan foothills, I recently walked for kilometres without encountering habitation. I was just scolding myself for not having brought along a water- bottle, when I came across a patch of green on a rock face. I parted a curtain of tender maiden hair fern and discovered a tiny spring issuing from the rock-nectar for the thirsty traveller.

I stayed there for hours, watching the water descend, drop by drop, into a tiny casement in. the rocks. Each drop reflected creation. That same spring, I later discovered, joined other springs to form a. swift, tumbling. stream, which went cascading down the hill into other streams until, in the plains, it became part of a river. And that river flowed into another mightier river that kilometres later emptied into the ocean. Be like water, taught Laotzu, philosopher ‘and founder of Taoism. Soft and limpid, it finds its way through, over or under any obstacle. It does not quarrel; it simply moves on.

'Although India has a tradition of women warriors, participation in the Salt Satyagraha was their first appearance in any modern militant political campaign and I could hardly suppress my excitement at the enormity of the occasion and my own good fortune to be amongst the first. As I attached my name to the pledge to devote myself to my country's freedom battle, my hand shook a little under my tumultuous emotions. It seemed such a stupendous moment in my life, in the life of the women of my country. I felt I was tracing not the letters of my name, but recording a historic event. There was not much time for thought, however. The next instant we were filing out, taking the road to the sea. marching with quick steps. Great sky-rending cries or 'Jai' filled the air. Heavy-scented flower garlands almost smothered us. From the balconies and roofs unseen hands showered rose-petals until the road became a carpet of flowers. Often our march was stopped and bright-eyed women sprinkled rose water from silver sprays, tipped our palms with sandalwood paste and perfume and blessed us waving lights round our heads and faces for good omen.'

The long narrow strip of sand that borders the city like a white ribbon was transformed this morning into another sea - a sea of human faces that swayed and danced and bobbed about even as did the deep azure waves that rimmed the shore. The city seemed to have disgorged almost its entire population onto the sands. It was not the struggling batch of seven that was breaking the Salt Law, but hundreds and thousands now filling the water's edge. And still they kept coming, thousands of women amongst them, striding like proud warriors, gracefully balancing their pitchers of maroon-red earth and shimmering brass that scattered a thousand hues as the sunrays struck them. Even as I lit my little fire to boil the saltwater, I saw thousands of fires aflame dancing in the wind. The copper pans sizzled in laughter while their bosoms traced the white grains of salt as the heat lapped up the last drop of water.

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options. 

What we call Old Delhi is actually only about 350 years old, which is not terribly ancient, considering that the city was inhabited around 1000 to 800 BC. But it is a good place to look because Old Delhi has retained its character from the Mughal days. Most of what we call Old Delhi was built by the emperor Shah Jahan who, with characteristic modesty, called it Shahjahanabad. The city was built around 1640-1650 AD (so, by Delhi standards, it is actually young I) and remained the capital of the Mughal empire ever since. 

India was one of the world's richest countries in that age, so the capital's commercial quarter was one of the most important trading and business centres in the East. The original Chandni Chowk was built around a canal of the Yamuna, which passed clown the street, forming a pool that reflected the moonlight and gave the area its name. 

The business of Chandni Chowk was business only. Some people say that it was the ruthless reprisals from the British after the 1857 Mutiny / War of Independence that destroyed the peaceful character of Chandni Chowk; as did the looting that was the hallmark of the East India Company's soldiers. Others say that the rot set in after New Delhi was created in the 20th century. 

Either way, Chandni Chowk is a mess now. It is overcrowded, parts of it are dirty and its wonderful historical mansions are now in disrepair. In an era when the world's great squares have become landmarks, why should Chandni Chowk become a slum? 

Que. 24 Study the following statements : 

1. A canal used to run through Chandni Chowk. 
2. Business and trading was done on the banks of the canal. 
3. People visited Chandni Chowk to view the moonlight reflected in the canal.

पाठ्यक्रम को कक्षाक्रम से बहुत कड़ाई के साथ बाँध देने के परिणामस्वरूप बच्चे का विकास एक अनवरत प्रक्रिया नहीं बन पाता, अपितु कृत्रिम खंडों में बँट जाता है। एक स्थिर पाठ्यक्रम बच्चे की व्यक्त्गित रूचियों और क्षमताओं के विकास में सहयोग न देकर एक मजबूरी बन जाता है, जिसे बच्चा और उसका अध्यापक दोनों बेबस होकर स्वीकार करते हैं। यदि एक बच्चा किसी विषय में अपने सहपाठियों से अधिक दिलचस्पी रखता है, तो पाठ्यक्रम की बदौलत उसे पूरे एक वर्ष या इससे भी अधिक प्रतीक्षा करनी होती है, जब वह उस विषय में कुछ अधिक विस्तृत जानकारी अध्यापक और नई पुस्तक से प्राप्त कर सकेगा। श्री अरविंद आश्रम के शिक्षा केंद्र में, जहाँ पाठ्यक्रम पूर्वनिर्धारित और स्थिर नहीं रहता, बच्चों को अपनी व्यक्तिगत रुचि और सामर्थ्य के अनुसार किसी विषय की जानकारी की प्रगति जारी रखने की छूटी रहती है। सामान्य स्कूलों में, जहाँ यह छूट नहीं दी जाती। होता प्राय: यह है कि नई कक्षा में आने पर उसे वही विषय बिलकुल नया और अपरिचित लगता है, जिसके बारे में काफी-कुछ वह पिछली कक्षा में जान चुका था। विशेषतौर पर ऐसा तब होता है, जब पाठ्यक्रम पाठ्यपुस्तकों का पर्याय हो, जैसा भारत में है।
