SECTION-A: READING COMPREHENSION
The Story of Ikat
(Q.No 1-10) Read the following passage.
Suddenly they noticed the teacher carrying bundles of cloth walking towards the class. A few of
them dashed to help her. They all liked her as she was fair to everyone and was never partial to one
student. The brilliant red and black checked rumals, shawls with black and blue geometric patterns
caught the attention of the class as the teacher handed over the material to the eager helpers.
She pinned them neatly on the soft board and the drab class suddenly looked vibrant. "Teacher!
What are these fabrics? Why did you bring them? "Children pelted her with questions. She smiled
and wrote on the blackboard "Textiles of India- "Ikat" of Andhra Pradesh. No one could spell
"Ikat", someone yelled "Beat!" and few children giggled. Janaki teacher said it is pronounced as
"I". "ka" as in "Kamala" and "I". "Ikat" is an Indonesian term meaning "to bind" or "knot". The
class fell silent. Ramya asked, "Teacher! Are these fabrics from Indonesia?" Teacher shook her
head and said, "Children! can anyone remember seeing designs like this?" Raghav said, "Teacher,
the pattern on the rumal is similar to the one on my mother's sari, though the colors are not the
same." Janaki was pleased.
