Arrange P, Q, R, S between Si and Se to give the correct sequence of the passage given below. |
S1: last November, during investigations into the Vyapam scam, the Special Task Force of the Madhya Pradesh Police published advertisements in local dailies calling upon the public to share documents or evidence of fraud in the pre-medical test. |
P: Mr. Saklecha has punctured every defence of the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government, and exposed the task force's "faulty" investigation, which the Central Bureau of Investigation is now taking note of. Mr. Chouhan recently said he was the original whistleblower as it was he who ordered the filing of a first information report in 2013. |
Q: Fondly called "Paras Dada" (elder brother) by his students, Mr. Saklecha has played a role that is second to none in exposing the scam. The first legislator to raise the question in the State Assembly in 2009, much before the scam made national news, he has consistently filed Right to Information applications, supplied key documents to the investigation agencies, held dharnas and press conferences, written dozens of letters and filed numerous petitions. He staged a walkout from the Assembly after replies by the Bharatiya Janata Party government failed to convince him. A few weeks ago, he published Vyapamgate, a 100-page detailed summary of the scam |
R: Mr. Saklecha's struggle is largely inspired by his love for teaching and empathy for underprivileged students. From Ratlam district in Malwa region, started out as a bank clerk. He was also coaching students preparing for railways and bank exams free of cost. His contact with students and knowledge of entrance exams, combined with a sound footing in finances, provided him a first-hand understanding of corruption in the education sector. |
S: Just two responses came by ? one from an anonymous source and the other from Paras Saklecha, a former independent MLA, who submitted thousands of papers to the agency while recording two-and-a-half hours of statement. "That was just eight months ago. For all their noise, not a single Congress leader turned up with any document. They may wish to fight through the media, but this struggle will only move ahead through valid documents," Mr. Saklecha says. |
S6: Though he was disqualified in the 2013 elections, Mr. Saklecha is still held in high regard by supporters and detractors alike. Amid the political crisis over Vyapam, Mr. Chouhan is reportedly writing a book on the scam. |

Read this carefully and answer the questions that follow. |
I am writing to you in my personal capacity. This may not be the opinion of the people of Pakistan or the policy of the government, but I write to thank you in response to the generous letter you have written to Malala Yousafzai. Thanks for owning up that your comrades tried to kill her by shooting her in the head. Many of your well-wishers in Pakistan had been claiming that Taliban wouldn't attack a minor girl. They were of the opinion that Malala had shot herself in order to become a celebrity and get a UK visa. Women, as we know, will go to any lengths to get what they want. So thanks for saying that a 14-year-old girl was the Tali ban's foe. And if she rolls out the old cliche that the pen is mightier than sword, she must face the sword and find it for herself. |
Like you, there are others who are still not sure whether it was "Islamically correct or wrong", or whether she deserved to be "killed or not", but then you go on to suggest that we leave it to Allah. There are a lot of people in Pakistan, some of them not even Muslims, who, when faced with difficult choices or everyday hardships, say let's leave it to Allah. Sometimes it's the only solace for the helpless. But most people don't say leave it to Allah after shooting a kid in the face. |
Allow me to make another small theological point -again about girls. Before the advent of Islam, before the Prophet gave us the holy book that you want Malala to learn again, in the times we call Jahilia, people used to bury their newborn daughters. They probably found them annoying and thought it better to get rid of them before they learned to speak. We are told Islam came to put an end to such horrendous practices. If 1,400 years later, we have to shoot girls in the head in an attempt to shut them up, someone like Bertrand Russell might say we haven't made much progress. |
It has also been suggested that your letter represents the mainstream opinion in Pakistan. But don't fall for this praise. You might think that a lot of people support your just fight, but there is a part of them that worries whether their girl will get the grades to get into to a good university. |
Don't believe me? You may have seen the propaganda pictures of female pilots released by your former employer, Pakistan's air force. Some of them have started to fly fighter aircraft. Like you, I'm of the firm belief no good has ever come out of the Pakistani army's misadventures. But just think of the day when one of those female pilots decides to not leave it to Allah. |
