Answer:
Explain, with reference to the context, any one of the following passages.
(a) As soon as I alighted, a group of young children gathered around me. They were selling baskets- hand-woven, reed baskets with simple designs and patterns. They held the baskets high, shouting words, I did not know but conveying unmistakably their desire. These were refugee children.
(b) The extravagant and barbarous hecatombs of the vedic age have long since been forgotten, though animal sacrifice continues in some sects. Widows have long ceased to be burnt on their husband's pyres. Girls may not by law be married in childhood. In buses and trains all over India Brahmans rub shoulders with the lowest castes without consciousness of grave pollution and the temples are open to all by law. Caste is vanishing.
(c) No one could say I am a beauty. I weigh 340 grams, am red-brown in colour and have an unimpressive shape. I am John's dedicated slave-his heart.
