We cannot ensure (146) global peace and human survival in the atmosphere of the nuclear and missile (147) in the Subcontinent, in our Asian neighbourhood, above all in a world that has (148) the CTBT and now also the ASM treaty.

He is bound to say it clearly and melodiously if he may; clearly at all events, m the sum of his life, he finds this to be the thing or group of things, manifest him; this, the piece of true knowledge, or sight, which his share of sunshine and earth has permitted him to seize.

Vacations were once the prerogative of the privileged few, even as late as the nineteenth century. Now they are considered the right of all, except for such unfortunate masses as in China, for whom life, except for sleep and brief periods of rest, is uninterrupted toil. |
They are more necessary now than before because the average life is well rounded and has become increasingly departmentalized. The idea of vacations, as we conceive it must be incomprehensible to primitive people. Rest of some kind has of course always been a plan of the rhythm of human life, but earlier ages did not find it necessary to organise it in the way that modem man has done. Holidays, feast days, were sufficient. With modem man's increasing tensions, with the useless quality of so much of his work, this break in the year's routine became steadily more necessary. Vacations became necessary for the purpose of renewal and repair. |

Vacations were once the prerogative of the privileged few, even as late as the nineteenth century. Now they are considered the right of all, except for such unfortunate masses as in China, for whom life, except for sleep and brief periods of rest, is uninterrupted toil. |
They are more necessary now than before because the average life is well rounded and has become increasingly departmentalized. The idea of vacations, as we conceive it must be incomprehensible to primitive people. Rest of some kind has of course always been a plan of the rhythm of human life, but earlier ages did not find it necessary to organise it in the way that modem man has done. Holidays, feast days, were sufficient. With modem man's increasing tensions, with the useless quality of so much of his work, this break in the year's routine became steadily more necessary. Vacations became necessary for the purpose of renewal and repair. |

Passage - III |
It is fear that produces social conformity. Boys at school are apt to endure considerable physical and mental suffering if other boys consider them odd. This means that most boys of usual intelligence have to learn elaborate methods of concealment which are apt to cling to them through later life. They have to pretend to be more 'tough' and less intelligent than in fact they are. They have to learn to conceal any enjoyment they may derive from poetry or music. Above all they have to hide as deeply as they possibly can any powers of imagination that they may possess. If they lear to do all this successfully they may slip through without much outward suffering until they become old enough to go the university. But by this time many of them will have acquired an armour so thin that the living being underneath can hardly peep out. |

Passage - IV |
Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language?so the argument runs?must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hands cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. Now it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish, thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modem English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits, one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political regeneration, so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers. |

Passage - V |
Although cynics may like to see the government's policy for women in terms of the party's internal power struggles, it will nevertheless be churlish to deny that it represents a pioneering effort aimed at bringing about sweeping social reforms. In its language, scope and strategies, the policy document displays a degree of understanding of women's needs that is uncommon in government pronouncements. This is due in large part to the participatory process that marked its formulation, seeking the active involvement right from the start of women's groups, academic institutions and non-government organizations with grass roots experience. The result is not just a lofty declaration of principles but a blueprint for a practical programme of action. The policy delineates a series of concrete measures to accord women a decision-making role in the political domain and greater control over their economic status. Of especially far-reaching impact are the devolution of control of economic microstructure to women, notably at the gram pancnayat level, and the amendments proposed in the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 to give women coparcenary rights. An enlightened aspect of the policy is its recognition that actual change in the status of women cannot be brought about by the mere enactment of socially regressive legislation. Accordingly, it focuses on reorienting development programmes and sensitising administrations to address specific situations as, for instance, the growing number of households headed by women, which is a consequence of rural-urban migration. The proposal to create an equal-opportunity police force and give women greater control of police stations is an acknowledgment of the biases and callousness displayed by the generally all-male law-enforcement authorities in cases of dowry and domestic, violence. While the more enunciation of such a policy has the salutary effect of sensitising the administration as a whole, it does not make the task of its implementation any easier. This is because the changes it envisages in the political and economic status of women strike at the root of power structures in society and the basis of man-woman relationships. There is also the danger that reservation for women in public life, while necessary for their greater visibility, could lapse into tokenism or become a tool in the hands of vote seeking politicians. Much will depend on the dissemination of the policy and the ability of elected representatives and government agencies to reorder their priorities. |

Passage - V |
Although cynics may like to see the government's policy for women in terms of the party's internal power struggles, it will nevertheless be churlish to deny that it represents a pioneering effort aimed at bringing about sweeping social reforms. In its language, scope and strategies, the policy document displays a degree of understanding of women's needs that is uncommon in government pronouncements. This is due in large part to the participatory process that marked its formulation, seeking the active involvement right from the start of women's groups, academic institutions and non-government organizations with grass roots experience. The result is not just a lofty declaration of principles but a blueprint for a practical programme of action. The policy delineates a series of concrete measures to accord women a decision-making role in the political domain and greater control over their economic status. Of especially far-reaching impact are the devolution of control of economic microstructure to women, notably at the gram pancnayat level, and the amendments proposed in the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 to give women coparcenary rights. An enlightened aspect of the policy is its recognition that actual change in the status of women cannot be brought about by the mere enactment of socially regressive legislation. Accordingly, it focuses on reorienting development programmes and sensitising administrations to address specific situations as, for instance, the growing number of households headed by women, which is a consequence of rural-urban migration. The proposal to create an equal-opportunity police force and give women greater control of police stations is an acknowledgment of the biases and callousness displayed by the generally all-male law-enforcement authorities in cases of dowry and domestic, violence. While the more enunciation of such a policy has the salutary effect of sensitising the administration as a whole, it does not make the task of its implementation any easier. This is because the changes it envisages in the political and economic status of women strike at the root of power structures in society and the basis of man-woman relationships. There is also the danger that reservation for women in public life, while necessary for their greater visibility, could lapse into tokenism or become a tool in the hands of vote seeking politicians. Much will depend on the dissemination of the policy and the ability of elected representatives and government agencies to reorder their priorities. |
