16 Read the passage and answer the questions given below Since the late 1970s when the
. technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed
a saga of horror. Experts are calling it "sanitised barbarism". Demographic trends indicate
India is fast heading towards a million female foetuses aborted each year. Although foetal
sex determination and sex selection is a criminal offence in India, the practice is rampant.
Private clinics with ultrasound machines are doing brisk business. Everywhere, people are
paying to know the sex of an unborn child. And paying more to abort the female child. The
technology has even reached remote areas through mobile clinics. Dr. PuSneet Bedi,
obstetrician and specialist in foetal medicine, says these days he hardly sees a family with
two daughters. People are getting sex determination done even for the first child, he says.
If the 1991 Census showed that two districts had a child sex ratio (number of girls per
thousand boys) less than 850; by 2001 it was 51 districts. Child rights activist Dr. Sabu
George says foeticide is the most extreme form of violence against women. "Today a girl is
several times more likely to be eliminated before birth than die of various causes in the first
year. Nature intended the womb to be a safe space. Today, doctors have made it the most
unsafe space for the female child," he says. He believes that doctors must be held
responsible ? "They have aggressively promoted the misuse of technology and legitimised
foeticide." Researchers and scholars use hard-hitting analogy to emphasise the extent of the
problem. Dr. Satish Agnihotri, senior IAS officer and scholar who has done extensive
research on the issue, calls the technology "a weapon of mass destruction". Dr. Bedi refers
to it as genocide: "More than 6 million killed in 20 years. That's the number of Jews killed in
the Holocaust." Akhila Sivadas, Centre for Advocacy and Research, Delhi, feels that the
Prevention of Misuse) is very well conceived and easy to use. The need of the hour is the
legal literacy to ensure the law is implemented. ?The demand and supply debate has been
going on for some time. Doctors say there is a social demand and they are fulfilling it. They
argue that social attitudes must change. However, in this case supply fuels demand.
Technology will have to be regulated. Technology in the hands of greedy, vested interests
cannot be neutral. There is a law to prevent misuse and we must be able to use it,? she
says. On the ?Demand? side, experts such as Dr. Agnihotri argue that women?s
participation in workforce, having disposable incomes and making a contribution to the
larger society will make a difference to how women are seen. Youth icons and role models
such as Sania Mirza are making an impact, he says. Others feel there needs to be
widespread visible contempt and anger in society against this ?Genocide?- ?the kind we saw
against the Nithari killings,? says Dr Bedi. ?Today nobody can say that female foeticide is
not their problem.? Time we all did our bit to help save the girl child. Time?s running out.

1. Give people power and discretion, and whether they are grand viziers or border guards,
some will use their position to enrich themselves. The problem can be big enough to hold
back a country's development. One study has shown that bribes account for 8% of the total
cost of running a business in Uganda. Another found that corruption boosted the price of
hospital supplies in Buenos Aires by 15%. Paul Wolfowitz, the head of the World Bank, is
devoting special efforts during his presidency there to a drive against corruption. GIVE
people power and discretion, and whether they are grand viziers or border guards, some will

For most people in the world, though, the worry is not that corruption may slow down their
country's GDP growth. It is that their daily lives are pervaded by endless hassles, big and
small. And for all the evidence that some cultures suffer endemic corruption while others
are relatively clean, attitudes towards corruption, and even the language describing bribery,
is remarkably similar around the world. In a testament to most people's basic decency,
unremarkable and unprosecutable?and even when the transaction happens far from
snooping eyes?a bribe is almost always dressed up as some other kind of exchange. Though
most of the world is plagued by corruption, even serial offenders try to conceal it.
One manifestation of this is linguistic. Surprisingly few people say: ?You are going to have
to pay me if you want to get that done.? Instead, they use a wide variety of euphemisms.
One type is quasi-official terminology. The first bribe paid by your correspondent, in Ukraine
in 1998, went to two policemen so they would let him board a train leaving the country. On
the train into Ukraine, the customs officer had absconded with a form that is needed again
later to leave the country. The policemen at the station kindly explained that there was a
shtraf, a ?fine? that could be paid instead of producing the document. The policemen let him
A second type of euphemism dresses up a dodgy payment as a friendly favour done by the
bribe-payer. There is plenty of creative scope. Nigerian policemen are known to ask for ?a
little something for the weekend?. A North African term is ?un petit cadeau?, a little gift.
Mexican traffic police will suggest that you buy them a refresco, a soft drink, as will Angolan
and Mozambican petty officials, who call it a gazoso in Portuguese. A businessman in Iraq
told Reuters that although corruption there is quite overt, officials still insist on being given
a ?good coffee?
Double meaning can help soothe the awkwardness of bribe-paying. Baksheesh, originally a
Persian word now found in many countries of the Middle East, can mean ?tip?, ?alms? and ?
would like to discuss this over tea?? The young Canadian was relieved: the difficulty could
be resolved with some chai, which means both ?tea? and ?bribe?. Along with the
obscurantist language, bribe-taking culture around the world often involves the avoidance of
physically handing the money from one person to another. One obvious reason is to avoid
detection, which is why bribes are known as ?envelopes? in countries from China to Greece.
But avoidance of a direct hand-over is common even where there is no chance of detection.
There will always be some officials who will take money right from a bribe-payer's hands,
but most seem to prefer to find some way to hide the money from view. A bribe to a border
guard may be folded into a passport. A sweetener to a traffic cop is often placed in the
ticket-book that is handed to the driver. Parag Khanna, who is writing a book about
countries on the edge of the rich world that are trying to get rich themselves, describes a
bribe-taker he spotted in Georgia who he was sure was a rookie. Why? The scrawny young
soldier, forgoing any subtleties, merely rubbed his fingers together in an age-old gesture.
Rich Westerners may not think of their societies as plagued by corruption. But the definition
of bribery clearly differs from person to person. A New Yorker might pity the third-world
businessman who must pay bribes just to keep his shop open. But the same New Yorker
would not think twice about slipping the maitre d' $50 to sneak into a nice restaurant
without a reservation. Poor people the world over are most infuriated by the casual
corruption of the elites rather than by the underpaid, ?tip?-seeking soldier or functionary.
3) People hide money taken as bribe from view even if detection possibility is low.

4. Indian government?s intention of introducing caste based quotas for the ?Other Backward
Classes? in centrally funded institutions of higher learning and the prime minister?s
suggestion to the private sector to ?voluntarily go in for reservation?, has once again
sparked off a debate on the merits and demerits of caste-based reservations. Unfortunately,
the predictable divide between the votaries of ?social justice? on one hand and those
advocating ?merit? on the other seems to have once again camouflaged the real issues. It is
necessary to take a holistic and non-partisan view of the issues involved. The hue and cry
about ?sacrificing merit? is untenable simply because merit is after all a social construct and
it cannot be determined objectively in a historically unjust and unequal context. The idea of
competitive merit will be worthy of serious attention only in a broadly egalitarian context.
But then, caste is not the only obstacle in the way of an egalitarian order. After all,
also contribute to the denial of opportunity to express one?s true merit and worth. It is
interesting to note that in the ongoing debate, one side refuses to see the socially
constructed nature of the notion of merit, while the other side refuses to recognise the
multiplicity of the mechanisms of exclusion with equal vehemence. The idea of caste-based
reservations is justified by the logic of social justice. This implies the conscious attempt to
restructure a given social order in such a way that individuals belonging to the traditionally
and structurally marginalised social groups get adequate opportunities to actualise their
potential and realise their due share in the resources available. In any society, particularly
in one as diverse and complex as the Indian society, this is going to be a gigantic exercise
and must not be reduced to just one aspect of state policy. Seen in this light, caste-based
reservation has to work in tandem with other policies ensuring the elimination of the
achieving social justice and not an end in itself. By the same logic it must be assessed and
audited from time to time like any other social policy and economic strategy. Hence, it is
important, to discuss reservation in the holistic context of much required social restructuring
and not to convert it into a fetish of ?political correctness?. Admittedly, caste remains a
social reality and a mechanism of oppression in Indian society. But can we say that caste is
the only mechanism of oppression? Can we say with absolute certainty that poverty
amongst the so-called upper castes has been eradicated? Can we say that the regions of
Northeast, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh are on par with the glittering metros of Delhi and
Mumbai? Can we say that a pupil from a panchayat school in Bihar is equipped to compete
with an alumnus of Doon School on an equal footing, even if both of them belong to the
same caste group? One of my students once remarked that he was regularly compelled to
swim across a rivulet in order to reach his school, and the rivulet in question did not
distinguish between Brahmins and dalits. Incidentally, this young man happens to be a
Brahmin by birth! Can we also say that gender plays no role in denial of social
opportunities? After all, this society discriminates against girls even before they are born.
What to talk of access or opportunities, they?re denied birth itself. Such discrimination
exists across religious and caste lines. Moreover, the question is: do we want to eliminate
forever? Is it not true that by treating caste as the only medium of oppression and hence by
focusing all remedial measures on caste alone, we have only added to the longevity of caste
as the determining factor of social identity? Individuals have been virtually turned into the
epitomes of the caste of their birth ? denying the multiple identities that every individual
perforce carries. This also helps the powerful amongst the generally disempowered sections
to corner most of the benefits of caste-based reservation. Caste, which in reality is only one
of the features of identity at the individual level and the manifestation of an abhorrent social
order at the social and structural level, has been turned into the essential identity of
individual citizens. Such a situation helps only those politicians who are in search of
shortcuts to power. It is harmful for the cause of a modern social democracy as well as to
the cause of individuals in need of social justice and related affirmative action.

8. Fasting is an act of homage to the majesty of appetite. So I think we should arrange to give
up our pleasures regularly-our food, our friends, our lovers- in order to preserve their
intensity, and the moment of coming back to them. For this is the moment that renews and
refreshes both oneself and the thing one loves. Sailors and travelers enjoyed this once, and
so did hunters, I suppose. Part of the weariness of modern life may be that we live too
much on top of each other, and are entertained and fed too regularly. Once we were
separated by hunger both from our food and families, and then we learned to value both.
The men went off hunting, and the dogs went with them; the women and children waved
goodbye. The cave was empty of men for days on end; nobody ate, or knew what to do.
The women crouched by the fire, the wet smoke in their eyes; the children wailed;
everybody was hungry. Then one night there were shouts and the barking of dogs from the
hills, and the men came back loaded with meat. This was the great reunion, and everybody
gorged themselves silly, and appetite came into its own; the long-awaited meal became a
feast to remember and an almost sacred celebration of life. Now we go off to the office and
come home in the evenings to cheap chicken and frozen peas. Very nice, but too much of it,
too easy and regular, served up without effort or wanting. We eat, we are lucky, our faces
are shining with fat, but we don't know the pleasure of being hungry any more. Too much of
anything-too much music, entertainment, happy snacks, or time spent with one's friends-
creates a kind of impotence of living by which one can no longer hear, or taste, or see, or
love, or remember. Life is short and precious, and appetite is one of its guardians, and loss
of appetite is a sort of death. So if we are to enjoy this short life we should respect the
divinity of appetite, and keep it eager and not too much blunted.

14 Indian government?s intention of introducing caste based quotas for the ?Other Backward
. Classes? in centrally funded institutions of higher learning and the prime minister?s
suggestion to the private sector to ?voluntarily go in for reservation?, has once again
sparked off a debate on the merits and demerits of caste-based reservations. Unfortunately,
the predictable divide between the votaries of ?social justice? on one hand and those
advocating ?merit? on the other seems to have once again camouflaged the real issues. It is
necessary to take a holistic and non-partisan view of the issues involved. The hue and cry
about ?sacrificing merit? is untenable simply because merit is after all a social construct and
it cannot be determined objectively in a historically unjust and unequal context. The idea of
competitive merit will be worthy of serious attention only in a broadly egalitarian context.
But then, caste is not the only obstacle in the way of an egalitarian order. After all,
also contribute to the denial of opportunity to express one?s true merit and worth. It is
interesting to note that in the ongoing debate, one side refuses to see the socially
constructed nature of the notion of merit, while the other side refuses to recognise the
multiplicity of the mechanisms of exclusion with equal vehemence. The idea of caste-based
reservations is justified by the logic of social justice. This implies the conscious attempt to
restructure a given social order in such a way that individuals belonging to the traditionally
and structurally marginalised social groups get adequate opportunities to actualise their
potential and realise their due share in the resources available. In any society, particularly
in one as diverse and complex as the Indian society, this is going to be a gigantic exercise
and must not be reduced to just one aspect of state policy. Seen in this light, caste-based
reservation has to work in tandem with other policies ensuring the elimination of the
structures of social marginalisation and denial of access. It has to be seen as a means of
achieving social justice and not an end in itself. By the same logic it must be assessed and
audited from time to time like any other social policy and economic strategy. Hence, it is
important, to discuss reservation in the holistic context of much required social restructuring
and not to convert it into a fetish of ?political correctness?. Admittedly, caste remains a
social reality and a mechanism of oppression in Indian society. But can we say that caste is
the only mechanism of oppression? Can we say with absolute certainty that poverty
amongst the so-called upper castes has been eradicated? Can we say that the regions of
Northeast, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh are on par with the glittering metros of Delhi and
Mumbai? Can we say that a pupil from a panchayat school in Bihar is equipped to compete
with an alumnus of Doon School on an equal footing, even if both of them belong to the
same caste group? One of my students once remarked that he was regularly compelled to
swim across a rivulet in order to reach his school, and the rivulet in question did not
distinguish between Brahmins and dalits. Incidentally, this young man happens to be a
Brahmin by birth! Can we also say that gender plays no role in denial of social
opportunities? After all, this society discriminates against girls even before they are born.
What to talk of access or opportunities, they?re denied birth itself. Such discrimination
exists across religious and caste lines. Moreover, the question is: do we want to eliminate
forever? Is it not true that by treating caste as the only medium of oppression and hence by
focusing all remedial measures on caste alone, we have only added to the longevity of caste
as the determining factor of social identity? Individuals have been virtually turned into the
epitomes of the caste of their birth ? denying the multiple identities that every individual
perforce carries. This also helps the powerful amongst the generally disempowered sections
to corner most of the benefits of caste-based reservation. Caste, which in reality is only one
of the features of identity at the individual level and the manifestation of an abhorrent social
order at the social and structural level, has been turned into the essential identity of
individual citizens. Such a situation helps only those politicians who are in search of
shortcuts to power. It is harmful for the cause of a modern social democracy as well as to
the cause of individuals in need of social justice and related affirmative action.

15 Fasting is an act of homage to the majesty of appetite. So I think we should arrange to give
. up our pleasures regularly-our food, our friends, our lovers- in order to preserve their
intensity, and the moment of coming back to them. For this is the moment that renews and
refreshes both oneself and the thing one loves. Sailors and travelers enjoyed this once, and
so did hunters, I suppose. Part of the weariness of modern life may be that we live too
much on top of each other, and are entertained and fed too regularly. Once we were
separated by hunger both from our food and families, and then we learned to value both.
The men went off hunting, and the dogs went with them; the women and children waved
goodbye. The cave was empty of men for days on end; nobody ate, or knew what to do.
The women crouched by the fire, the wet smoke in their eyes; the children wailed;
everybody was hungry. Then one night there were shouts and the barking of dogs from the
hills, and the men came back loaded with meat. This was the great reunion, and everybody
gorged themselves silly, and appetite came into its own; the long-awaited meal became a
feast to remember and an almost sacred celebration of life. Now we go off to the office and
come home in the evenings to cheap chicken and frozen peas. Very nice, but too much of it,
too easy and regular, served up without effort or wanting. We eat, we are lucky, our faces
are shining with fat, but we don't know the pleasure of being hungry any more. Too much of
anything-too much music, entertainment, happy snacks, or time spent with one's friends-
creates a kind of impotence of living by which one can no longer hear, or taste, or see, or
love, or remember. Life is short and precious, and appetite is one of its guardians, and loss
of appetite is a sort of death. So if we are to enjoy this short life we should respect the
divinity of appetite, and keep it eager and not too much blunted.
