India is a country where people from different cultures and religions live in harmony with each other. However, discrimination is done on the basis of a person’s
gender, caste, creed, religion and economic status in many parts of the country. India of my dreams would be a place where there is no such discrimination. India
has seen a lot of development in the field of science, technology, education as well as other spheres over the last few decades. I dream of India as a fully developed
country that does not only excel in the aforementioned fields but also continues to keep its cultural heritage intact. However, there are certain groups of people that
try to incite people to serve their vested interests thereby hampering peace in the country. I dream of India that is devoid of such divisive tendencies. It should be a
place where different ethnic groups live in perfect harmony with each other. I also dream of India as being a nation where every citizen is educated. I want the
people of my country to understand the importance of education and ensure that their children seek education rather than indulging in menial jobs at a tender age.

Settled life and cultivation gave man leisure; he had no longer to always think of getting food. During spare time he could make stone tools, hoes or pots and weave cloth. Some people spared from producing their own food could even devote themselves to other activities all the time. This resulted in a division of labour. The division of labour made it possible for various groups to specialize, that is, to acquire greater skill and learn better techniques in doing one kind of work.

The settled community life needed rules to regulate the behaviour of the members of the community. It is not possible to know exactly how regulations were established. It appears that the decisions regarding the community were taken by the people as a whole, or by a council of elders, as is in the practice in tribal societies. There were perhaps no kings or any organized government. Most likely, there were chiefs elected by the community for their qualities of leadership. But, these chiefs could not pass their positions on to their sons and they enjoyed few special privileges. Archaeological excavations have not revealed anything which would indicate the prevalence of a higher status for some members of the community. This is also supported by the study of life in many tribes in modern times. Thus, social inequalities do not seem to have emerged even in Neolithic times.

Question 7: In the passage, “division of labour” means?

a) Specialization to acquire greater skills

b) Learning arithmetic

c) Working in groups

d) Working from home

7) Answer (A)

Solution:

The first paragraph says ‘The division of labour made it possible for various groups to specialize, that is, to acquire greater skill and learn better techniques in doing one kind of work.’. Hence, Option A is the right answer.

What, one wonders, is the lowest common denominator : of Indian culture today? The attractive Hema Malini? The songs of vividh Bharati? Or the mouth-watering Masala Dosa? Delectable as these may be, each yields pride of place to that false (?) symbol of a new era – the synthetic fibre. In less than twenty years the nylon sari and the terylene shirt have swept the countryside, penetrated to the farthest comers of the land and persuaded every common man, woman and child that the key to success in the present day world lies in artificial fibres: glass nylon, crepe nylon, tery mixes, polyesters and what have you. More than the bicycles, the wristwatch or the transistor radio, synthetic clothes have come to represent the first step )’ away from the village square. The village lass treasures the e flashy nylon sari in her trousseau most lovingly; the village youth gets a great kick out of his cheap terry cot shirt and u trousers, the nearest he can approximate to the expensive s synthetic sported by his wealthy city bred contemporaries. And the Neo-rich craze for ‘phoren’ is nowhere more apparent a than in the price that people will pay for smuggled, stolen, begged or borrowed second hand or thrown away synthetics. Alas, even the unique richness of the traditional tribal costume is being fast eroded by the deadening uniformity of nylon.

Question 10: ‘The lowest common denominator’ of the Indian culture today is

a) Hema Malini

b) songs of Vividh Bharati

c) Masala Dosa

d) synthetic fibre

10) Answer (D)

In the third line of the passage, it is mentioned that ‘The lowest common denominator’ of the Indian culture today is synthetic fibre.
