Question

Read the following passage and answer the following questions:



Do you know that around 270 eucalyptus trees or 460 bamboo

plants are saved when we produce one tonne of hand-made paper?

It is eco-friendly. Hand-made paper also checks pollution of water,

land and air. Large quantities of polluting chemicals are used by

paper mills. Hand-made paper is the best form of recycled paper. It

has a fine surface for writing. It is also strong enough for making

drawings. Paper manufacturing is a very old tradition. It was

invented in China nearly two thousand years back. Indians used the

leaves of palm trees for writing. Papyrus is a kind of paper made

from a reed of the same name. It grew on the banks of the River Nile,

and was used in Egypt.

The hand-made paper industry flourished in India during the

Mughal period. But it died with the setting up of paper mills in the

18th and 19th centuries. Mahatma Gandhi revived it during the

freedom movement. Today it is a fast growing industry.

(1) Why is hand-made paper becoming more and more popular?

(2) Mention two features of hand-made paper.

(3) What did Indians use for writing when there was no paper?
(4) What is papyrus?

(5) Why did the hand-made paper industry die in India in the 18th

and 19th centuries?​
