Q1. Read the passage care kofully:
An era, a culture is eventually determined by its news. What is missed out by those who track the news of that time
is lost forever. We know nothing about Shakespeare's contemporaries even though some of them may have been
better playwrights. We know nothing about those who came in with Babar, or around the same time, to loot India
and stayed back as rulers. Or the many soldiers of fortune who landed here during the time of the East India
Company. We know of a few and, apart from avid historians, no one knows who led the Portuguese, Dutch or French
into India or ran their empires here till they were dismantled. Why is that? Simple. The media of that time, known as
historians, did not mention them.
We who consume news today see it as a fleeting experience. We observe a powerful image on TV, are moved by its
impact or repelled by its horror, and move on. We read a headline today and can't even recall it tomorrow. Current
news always drives out the old (often with ruthless cunning) and it's only when the media goes back in time to recall
a particular (7 story that we suddenly remember that, yes, there was something called HOW or Bofors that once
shook up the entire nation and held it in thrall for a decade. We are suddenly reminded that Congress treasurer LN
Mishra was mysteriously killed in a bomb blast on
a train and no one ever knew who killed him or where his secret millions vanished.
Since I'm a journalist I can tell you many such stories. There are others too, full of stories
But, like news, the stories die with them, History only remembers what it chooses to, or what is indelibly stamped on
its pages. The rest is occasionally recalled as gossip. But is it gossip? Or is it truth that we are trying to forget so that
we can move on and make space in our hearts and minds for more recent news? Our memory, collective as well as
individual, has limited storage and however many data cards we may insert, there's simply too much to absorb and
retain. The information surge that hits us every morning is so i large, so intimidating that we remember only a tiny
fraction of it. It's that fraction which actually scares us by the possibility of impacting our lives.
The gap between news and entertainment was always sacrosanct. News was about facts. Entertainment was about
imagination, ergo fiction. To see them occupy the same media platforms today is scary for those like me who have
spent a lifetime pursuing facts in the search for news. Even the dividing line has blurred. What we once shunned as
preposterous lies slip in so casually today into our news menu. It's no one's fault. It's just that the fault lines have
shifted News has become just another consumable, another platform to commercially (and cynically exploit. No,
don't blame our journalists and media owners. They are only following a global model that, for better or for worse,
is making our times an entirely forgettable chapter of history,
