RUKMINI DEVI PUBLIC SCHOOL SONEPAT
HOLIDAYS’ ASSIGNMENT
CLASS: XI
SUBJECT: ENGLISH
Question 1.
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
1. While you were glued to your flat screen, with your eyeballs popping out every time the ball was
hit for a six, in a dark corner of India in a Haryana village very close to the national capital ,a dog
was barking. Since it was Dalit dog(in India, even dogs have caste),the upper caste jaats were
getting all riled up. So, they decided to teach the dog a lesson. A bunch of them surrounded a
Dalit house and set it on fire. Inside the house were trapped an 18-year old girl and her old
father. Since the girl was physically challenged and could not move out of the burning house, she
and her father were engulfed and consumed by the fire. This is how people teach a lesson to dogs
in India: by making the poor, lower castes die like dogs.
2. New India is nothing but a banana republic. Here the reality looks like a mythical drama and a
fake drama called IPL looks like real. So when a Dalit girl is burnt to death by a gang of upper
caste loonies, nothing happens, not a soul is stirred, no one comes out on streets to protest. But
when Dhoni lifts a ball into the stands, thousands of people go berserk as if this is the only reality
that matters, as if this is the only reality that will make India stand on its feet, No one knows, how
many bets are won or lost on each IPL six, how much money rides on every wide ball.
3. Free market is not a free license to loot, Barack Obama reminded the Wall Street honchos this
week. Every dollar carries hopes and aspirations of millions of people, the US president said.
Obama will look like a silly fool in India, where free market has become a synonym for crony
capitalism of the worst kind. In Fact, it is turning into predatory capitalism where the rich and
powerful hunt the poor and weak without any fear, with the full backing of the state.
4. The Dalit girl’s death only one of the millions of stories of injustice and cruelty unfolding in front
of us. We can’t see them because we are busy watching IPL. Or, maybe, we are watching IPL
because the reality is too much to bear.
5. At 800 million, India is the world’s poorest nation. It’s the poorest nation ever in human history.
The number of people trapped in poverty bondage in this country is double the population of
Africa. It’s more than the combined population of North and South Americas. But who cares. New
India needs its daily fix of IPL.
Questions:
1. On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, make notes on it using headings
and subheadings. Use recognizable abbreviations (wherever necessary minimum four) and a
