  Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions.

  An old man with steel rimmed spectacles and very dusty clothes sat by the side of the road. There was a pontoon bridge across the river and carts, trucks and men, women and children were crossing it. The mule drawn carts staggered up the steep bank from the bridge with soldiers helping to push against the spokes of the wheels. The trucks ground up and away heading out of it all and the peasants plodded along in the ankle deep dust. But the old man sat there without moving. He was too tired to go any farther.

  It was my business to cross the bridge, explore the bridgehead beyond and find out to what point the enemy had advanced. I did this and returned over the bridge. There were not so many carts now and very few people on foot, but the old man was still there.

  "Where do you come from?" I asked him.

  "From San Carlos," he said, and smiled.

  That was his native town and so it gave him pleasure to mention it and he smiled.

  "I was taking care of animals," he explained. "Oh," I said, not quite understanding.

  "Yes," he said, "I stayed, you see, taking care of animals. I was the last one to leave the town of San Carlos."

  He did not look like a shepherd nor a herdsman and I looked at his black dusty clothes and his gray dusty face and his steel rimmed spectacles and said, "What animals were they?"

  "Various animals," he said, and shook his head. "I had to leave them." I was watching the bridge and the African looking country of the Ebro Delta wondering how long now it would be before we would see the enemy.

  "What animals were they?" I asked.

  'There were three animals altogether," he explained. 'There were two goats and a cat and then there were four pairs of pigeons."

  "And you had to leave them?" I asked.

  "Yes, because of the artillery. The captain told me to go because of the artillery."

  "And you have no family?" I asked, watching the far end of the bridge where a few last carts were hurrying down the slope of the bank. "No," he said, "only the animals I stated. The Cat, of course, will be all right. A cat can look out for itself, but I cannot think what will become of the others."

  "What politics have you?" I asked.

  "I am without politics," he said. "I am seventy-six years old. I have come twelve kilometers now and I think now I can go no further."

  "This is not a good place to stop," I said. "If you can make it, there are trucks up the road where it forks for Tortosa."

  "I will wait a while," he said, "and then I will go. Where do the trucks go?"

  'Towards Barcelona," I told him.

  He did not look like a shepherd nor a herdsman and I looked at his black dusty clothes and his gray dusty face and his steel rimmed spectacles and said, "What animals were they?"

  "Various animals," he said, and shook his head. "I had to leave them." I was watching the bridge and the African looking country of the Ebro Delta wondering how long now it would be before we would see the enemy.

  "What animals were they?" I asked.

  'There were three animals altogether," he explained. 'There were two goats and a cat and then there were four pairs of pigeons."

  "And you had to leave them?" I asked.

  "Yes, because of the artillery. The captain told me to go because of the artillery."

  "And you have no family?" I asked, watching the far end of the bridge where a few last carts were hurrying down the slope of the bank. "No," he said, "only the animals I stated. The Cat, of course, will be all right. A cat can look out for itself, but I cannot think what will become of the others."

  "What politics have you?" I asked.

  "I am without politics," he said. "I am seventy-six years old. I have come twelve kilometers now and I think now I can go no further."

  "This is not a good place to stop," I said. "If you can make it, there are trucks up the road where it forks for Tortosa."

  "I will wait a while," he said, "and then I will go. Where do the trucks go?"

  'Towards Barcelona," I told him.

  Sixteen-years-old Rajni made her way to meet her teammates after her 3-0 win over Ragini Upadhyay of Uttar Pradesh in the women's 46 kg final of the 2nd Junior Women Boxing Championship at the Chandigarh University. After accepting the congratulatory messages, she soon headed to the milk booth corner outside the hall. She gulped down a glass of milk. Then she carefully wrapped her medal in a cloth and put it in her bag. She wanted to make sure that the medal was carefully kept till she was able to present it to her father Jasmer Singh.

  Rajni knows the daily struggle, her father goes through to ensure that she can box. He spends 12 hours a day selling lassi in Panipat for Rs. 8 a glass. The medal, the girl from Buana Lakhu knows, will make her father extremely happy. "I am the third of six siblings. My father starts his day even before I wake up. He collects lassi from the village homes and travels from our village in Buana Lakhu to Panipat on his bike to sell it. When I showed interest in boxing; he supported me. I was trained under coach Surinder Malik sir. I would box with old gloves. At times there was not enough food for three full meals but my mother would make some ghee from left-over curd," Rajni says. Rajni started training under coach Malik at the Phul Singh Memorial Boxing Club at her village. With more than 50 girls training at the village, Rajni had no dearth of partners. Last year, the youngster became the national champion in 46 kg, category in the 1st BFI Junior Nationals at Dehradun. This year, the youngster won the gold medal in the Nations Junior Cup in Serbia, where she defeated Russian Anastasia Kiriyenko. It was also the first time that Rajni had travelled abroad. Father Jasmer Singh recalls how nervous he was when Rajni travelled to Serbia. As for Rajni, her wish is to meet six-time World champion Mary Kom. "I have always idolised Mary Kom didi and she is an inspiration for all the boxers. Maybe, one day I can win another gold medal and she will hand me the gold medal. That day will be like winning in Olympics for me," Rajni says.

  Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions.

  Rajendran belongs to the Irula tribe, one of India's oldest indigenous communities, who live along the north-eastern coast of the state of Tamil Nadu. They are known for their ancient and intimate knowledge of snakes, and their skills form an Important but nearly invisible part of the healthcare system in India.

  "Many people are scared of snakes." Rajendran said, "But we must remember that the snake is only interested in survival. If we move in agitation, the snake perceives a threat and can strike. If we stand still, however, it will often slither away."

  We were at the offices of the Irula Snake Catchers Industrial Cooperative Society, which was formed in 1978 in Vadanemmeli to capture snakes and extract their venom. Nearly 50,000 people die of snakebites each year in the country, and the only reliable treatment is the prompt administration of anti-venom. Six companies across India produce around 1.5 million vials of anti-venom annually, and most of it is derived from the vexnom extracted by the Irulas.

  Rajendran showed us a sunken sandpit enclosed by a low brick wall. A high thatched roof protected the space from the sun, and a small raised platfrom in the centre of the pit had a simple blackboard with details of the snakes being held in the facility. This was the venom exraction site.

  We aren't holding too many snakes right how," he said, pointing to the numerous rows of clay pots, neatly arranged outside thatch structure. Each pot will be half-filled with sand before housing two snakes each, and the mouth of the pot will be carefully sealed with porous cotton cloth so that the snakes can't leave the pot but there is still enough air.

  The co-operative has official licences to hold about 800 snakes at a time. "We keep every snake for 21 days, and extract venom four times during that period." Rajendran said. The snakes are then released into the wild. A small mark on their belly scales prevents the same snake from being caught repeatedly. 'The mark goes away after a few months."

  Rajendran's confidence in handling snakes and his deep understanding of these creatures are derived from a childhood spent in the forests and scrublands of the region. Before he turned 10. he had seen hundreds of snakes being captured. The Irulas usually work in silence, even when they go into the forest with others. They instinctively know the significance of faint signs on the ground to either follow cluses or dismiss them. However, they often find it hard to articulate the details of their understanding, even to people who study reptiles.
