PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)

Three weeks after surrendering before an intolerant

petitioner who sought to ban a book he didnt agree with,Penguin India appears unwilling to re-examine its decision

to withdraw and pulp all copies of Wendy Donigers The

Hindus: An Alternative History. Penguins decision flies

in the face ofa publishers duty to stand up for freedom of

speech. It also betrays a lack of understanding of the law

on free speech, not to speak of the way the Indian judiciary

has interpreted the law whenever demands for censorship

have been made. Ironically, Penguins cowardice in the

face of the demands of self-righteous lobbies will only

encourage further demands for book bans and directly

undermine the commercial foundations of the publishing

industry as a whole.

Not surprisingly, writers have condemned Penguin forbeing party to an ugly attack on academic freedom. Some,

including the two of us, have registered our anger by asking

Penguin to cancel our own book contracts and pulp

whatever copies remain lest we too be sold down the river

by a publisher that does not have the stomach to defend

the titles it brings out. As of this writing, our demands

have still not been accepted.

Prompted by Penguins self-serving defence that it

was the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which forced its hand on

the Doniger book, many writers have urged the Government

of India to amend specific sections of the IPC especially

153A and 295A which make the promotion of enmity

towards, or the deliberate insult of, a religious group acriminal offence.

191. What does the author say about the act of Penguin

on withdrawing and pulping all copies of Wendy

Donigers book The Hindus:An Alternative History?

(A) It is an absolutely correct decision to withdraw

and pulp all copies of such an anti-Hindu religious

book.

(B) It is cowardice to bow down before illegitimate

demands of self-righteous lobbies.

(C) To run the business smoothly it is necessary to

take such an action.

(D) All the above

192. Find the correct statement on the basis of the given

passage.

(A) Penguin India has full understanding of the law

on free speech.

(B) Penguin India has decided to reverse its decision

to withdraw and pulp all copies of Wendy

Donigers book.

(C) Penguins stand is not against a publishers duty

to standing for freedom of speech.

(D) Penguins stand is not contrary to the

interpretation of Indian judiciary regarding

censorship.

193. What has/have been the effect of the decision to

withdraw Wendy Donigers book The Hindus: An

Alternative History?

(i) Many writers have condemned Penguin for aidingan ugly attack on academic freedom.

(ii) Some of the writers have asked Penguin to cancel

book contracts.

(iii) Penguin India has filed cases against those who

have vitiated the contract.

(A) Only (i) (B) Only (ii)

(C) Only (i) and (ii) (D) Only (ii) and (iii)

194. What are the sections 153A and 295A of IPC all about?

Give your answer in the context of the passage.

(A) It is about the rights and duties of a publisher.

(B) It is against promoting enmity towards or the

deliberate insult of a religious group.

(C) It is about prohibiting foreign nationals frompublishing their books in India.

(D) It is all about how to establish harmony between

different religious groups.

195. What is the meaning of the phrase flies in the face of

as used in the given passage?

(A) Goes against (B) Reminds

(C) Compels (D) Prohibits

PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)

Widespread heavy rainfall in large parts of

Uttarakhand caused floods and landslides in mid-june 2013,

wreakedhavocin the state and devastated its economic

future. Several thousand people are reportedly dead or are

still missing; hundreds of villages have been destroyed tothe extent that they are not fit as human habitat in their

present state. The human tragedy is enormous and deserves

all the support and relief. However, we generally wake up

after a disaster strikes and deliver liberal relief, as has also

been the case for Uttarakhand. We often stop at that point,

thinking that the state and the people have done their duty.

Are we to put all the blame on nature and sit pretty?

KUNDAN

the Devbhoomi, as Uttarakhand is also called, for science

and future policy, is the important question. Are we in a

position to analyse this calamity and identify the role of

human footprint on the Himalayas in magnifying the losses

of life and property? Can we initiate a fundamental

reassessment of our vision for and approach to the

Himalayas, so as to prevent large-scale losses from such

naturally occurring calamities that are expected to visit the

mountain periodically?

An important understanding we need to gather is

whether there were any destabilising contribution of human

interventions in the Himalayan environment, especially

land and water. Considering such an urgency, the

Government of India has recently established a special

division for the Himalayan region in India in the Ministry

of Environment and Forests. However, there is no dearth

of examples that point to the inconvenient truth that good

sense and good science do not necessarily ensure

adoption of good practices that would reduce the risk tolife and property in the fragile Himalayan environment.

The recent calamity was obviously trigerred by an

extreme meteorological process that precipitated 300 to 400

mm of rainfall per day over some parts of Uttarakhand

continuously for about two to three days. An easy and

popular explanation of this very heavy rainfall may be made

by identifying it as the impact of global climate change.

Such a tendency of putting instances of extreme climate

change may attract media attention, but scientific correlation

of global warming and climate change with this particular

meteorological extreme event in Uttarakhand, which

occurred in June, has not yet been established. In any

case, such extreme events will visit the Himalayas and weneed to enhance our preparedness to face them.

196. Which of the following is not true in the context of the

given passage?

(A) This human tragedy is enormous and deserves

support and relief.

(B) Everybody has been fished out and no one is

missing as per the report of the state government.

(C) The heavy rainfall occurred in Uttarakhand in mid-

June 2013.

(D) The villages in flood-affected areas were

completely ruined.

197. Who is responsible for the Uttarakhand tragedy?

(i) Heavy rainfalls

(ii) Illegal and unscientific construction of buildings

(iii) Complete disrespect of nature by men

(A) Only (i) (B) Only (i) and (ii)

(C) Only (i) and (iii) (D) All (i), (ii) and (iii)

Uttarakhand tragedy?

(A) The Govt of India has recently established a

special division for the Himalayan region in India

in the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

(B) The Govt of India has sanctioned an amount of

`100 crore for reconstruction work in

Uttarakhand.(C) The State govt has asked the Centre to establish

meteorological department with the latest

equipment and information system.

(D) The State government has appealed to all other

states for help.

understand?

(A) Whether man alone is responsible for the

Uttrakhand tragedy

(B) Whether nature alone is responsible for the

Uttrakhand tragedy

(C) Whether there were any destabilising

OAC is right-angled triangle.

So, OA2= OC2+ AC2

OA2 = 324 + 576 = 900

OA = 30 cm

Hence radius = 30 cm

So, there will be no circle passing through

these points.
