Arrange P Q R S to give the correct sequence of a book review given below. P: It?s almost 50 years since Tammy Wynette sang that sometimes it's hard to be a woman. Half a century on these two fiercely challenging books argue that it's more than hard: it's intolerable. In many places around the world we are still living in the dark ages when it comes to gender politics. What's taking so long? Q: For Delphy a sociologist and theorist who co- founded Nouvelles Question Feministes with Simone de Beauvoir this episode has been a tragedy for France. She writes with an extraordinarily clear-eyed passion even though her message is highly theoretical and sometimes difficult to follow. R: The answer is simple says Christine Delphy in her well-argued series of academic essays Separate and Dominate: Feminism and Racism after the War on Terror. S: This is her preamble to the authoritative liberal take on the thorny subject of the banning of the veil in France. The ban is fundamentally un-French she reasons as it curtails liberty by picking on a minority of women who already have very little power. Worse it effectively confines them to the home. |

Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. The Saraswati River is at the confluence of faith and science, of legend and history. Internet activist and academics like Stephen Knapp and Irfan Habib have fought endless, winless 'Mahabharatas' on its banks. The former strive to re imagine history in their image. The latter insist, quite rightly, on the historicity of history. The river is a catchment area for cultural anxieties and identity crises, and therefore the wise have seen fit to relocate it beyond the realm of the sensible. Designated "antarvahini" (roughly, flowing underground), it surfaces into reality only at Prayag, where it can safely mingle with the Ganga and Yamuna. But every NDA government causes the Saraswati which lost its way in the desert sands in the Mahabharata era, to resurface with the enthusiasm of Old Faithful. The Vajpayee government had set hordes of scholars onto remote sensing data, to seek old riverbeds in the region generally agreed to be Aryavarta. There were several, each of which may or may not be the Saraswat. But confusion is no deterrent. Heinrich Schliemann famously found Troy by believing the Iliad, the story on which he was raised. Now, the NDA government is founding a research institute and museum that will work on India's mythical river. |
