Question

2. Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows. We were sitting in the garden of the circuit house in Bundi. The circuit house, built during the time of the British, must have been at least a hundred years old. We had arrived only that morning. Jayanto and I were old friends. We had gone to the same school and college. He was working in the editorial division of a newspaper and I was teaching in a school. Although we had different kinds of jobs, it had not made any difference to our friendship. We had been planning a trip to Rajasthan for quite some time. The main difficulty lay in both of us being able to get away together. That had, at last, been made possible. Most people go to Jaipur, Udaipur or Chittor when they go to Rajasthan; but Jayanto kept talking about going to Bundi. I had no objection, for having read Tagore‟s poem „The Fort of Bundi‟, I was certainly familiar with the name of the place and felt a pleasurable excitement at the prospect of actually seeing the fort. Not many people came to Bundi. But that did not mean that there was not much to see there. It could be that, from the point of view of a historian, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Chittor had a lot more to offer; but simply as a beautiful place, Bundi was perfect. However, Jayanto‟s insistence on Bundi did puzzle me somewhat. I learnt the reason on the train when we were coming down. Jayanto‟s father, Animesh Das Gupta, had worked in the Archaeological Department. His work sometimes took him to historical places, and Jayanto had as a child come to Bundi. He had always wanted to return after growing up, just to see how much the modern Bundi compared to the image he had in his mind. Question: Why was Bundi not visited by many people?
