SECTION - A (READING) 

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

1 Largely a Hindu island, Bali is nevertheless deeply influenced by Buddhism and ancestor worship. I have never seen a greater overlap of religion and culture. There are beautiful stone temples every few metres, but, interestingly, without any deities except for an occasional shiva linga. People are very ritualistic, but, as they primarily worship their ancestors and nature, specifically mother earth, the rituals are inherently simple.

2 We stayed on the outskirts of the tourist hub, surrounded by picture-perfect trees, paddy fields and beautiful architecture. Locals were  entle and friendly. The growing community of outsiders here is not the kind that seeks air-conditioned offices but rather, a life closer to nature and with more freedom to create. The place is safe and, to top it off, has highspeed internet.

3 Ubud attracts many „digital nomads‟ who trade, consult, teach and study online. The Europeans are happy to escape the winter chill and  igh cost of living in their countries. Many come yearning for a life where body, mind and spirit are unplugged from the chatter of mass media and mindless development.

4 Hubud (Hub-in-Ubud), the first collaborative working space in Bali, is home to a diverse community of local and visiting creatives, techies, entrepreneurs and change makers. Its website says: “Come join a community of people who are quietly changing the way we work, live and bring ourselves to the world.”

5 My belief that individual and collective wellbeing are so interdependent was reaffirmed. My own energies calmed down and I became more  mbracing of the surroundings, unlike in the city where I struggle to be centred and, when I am, it is despite my surroundings.

6 The rootedness in cultural heritage and the sprinkling of global ideas and initiatives, both playful and meaningful, have given rise to something quite special in Ubud. Having said that, one cannot escape to such havens all the time. So the challenge is how to create an Ubud mindset wherever we live. And yet not live in a bubble but remain intensely engaged with the things that matter, give a sense of purpose to our lives and make living worth it all.

1.1 Based on your reading of the passage, answer the following questions: 
 
a) Which is said to be home to a diverse community of locals and the growing community of outsiders?
 
b) What is the peculiarity of the temples of Bali?
 
c) What, according to the author, is the challenge, we, the city dwellers face?
 
d) Name some of the economic activities that the 'digital nomads' of Bali are engaged in.
 
e) What is the specialty of Bali as a Hindu island?
 
f) What is the author‟s take on the locals of Bali?
 
g) Which is the digital endorsement that highlights the uniqueness of Bali?
 
h) What, according to the author, is the ultimate aim of the growing community of outsiders in Bali? Why?
 
2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
1 Before suggesting five steps to fight terrorism, it is necessary to explain the nature of terrorism itself. As the word suggests, terror is induced in the minds of law-abiding citizens when weaker elements resort to indiscriminate killings.
 
2 The theory goes like this: “We will resort to a low-cost war that involves indiscriminate and random killing of citizens. The terror will force these citizens to pressure their governments to surrender to our demands.”
 
3 The problem with this theory is that no terrorist organisation has succeeded in forcing governments to submit to their demands. Citizens put pressure on their governments to induct more forces for their protection, causing economic loss, but no nation, not even a weak one, has ever surrendered to these forces of evil. To meet this threat, the following steps need to be taken:
 
4 The community to which the terrorists belong has to be brought on board in the fight against the terrorists. In Punjab, terrorism ended only after the Jat Sikh farmers stopped sympathizing with their coreligionists upon realizing that they were only causing more damage to their way of life. The fight against Islamist terrorism could follow this model.
 
5 Having ensured that all citizens are treated equally as per law and the Constitution, the next step must be to remove any biases that exist in the minds of law-enforcing officers,against the community to which the terrorists belong. Law enforcers should be conditioned to fight only the miscreants in that community and not harbour prejudice against those who are only struggling to make a living.
 
6 The political leadership in different states should select officers of integrity and competence to lead the force and give them operational independence so that they gain the confidence of their own men and the public. A good police leader is the best antidote to terror because he will motivate his men and ensure that they are properly trained and equipped to meet terrorist threats.
 
7 It is very important to involve the public in the fight against terrorism. Similarly, other agencies like airport authorities, aviation companies and aviation schools should also be befriended by intelligence agencies.To conclude, it is neither necessary nor wise to have policemen in bullet-proof vests and sophisticated weapons patrolling the streets. What is required is alert policemen and alert citizens working in tandem to confront the terrorist menace.
- Julio Ribeiro (Ex-director-general of Punjab Police)
 
2.1 Based on your reading of the passage, answer the following questions: (2x4=8 marks)
a) Which are the different agencies to be collaborated in the fight against terrorism?
b) Why is it said that law enforcers should be sensitized?
c) What is the author‟s take on the nature of terrorism?
d) What is the role of different states in India in combating terrorism?
