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.
