2. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows:
I recently had the chance to meet a legendary personality, a role model herself Lata
Mangeshkar. She was presiding over a function in remembrance of her father master Deenanath
Mangeshkar. Lata Mangeshkar is a recipient of the Bharat Ratna and I felt honoured that she
had asked me to inaugurate the 450 bed Deenanath Hospital and Research Centre in Pune. I
visited the hospital just before the inauguration. I found that it would be treating nearly thirty
percent of patients free. I was touched by the fact that despite her wealth and fame, she had
not lost sight pf the fact one needed to do all one can help to relieve the sufferings of others.
Her songs played over the radio have brought pleasure to countless hearts over the
decades. During the Indo-China conflict in 1962, her song "Ae mere vatan ke logo" made an
entire nation a fan of her voice. Few people can claim to have influenced the lives of millions in
such a delightful way.
Role modes can help us focus on what is correct for us as individuals, as group and of
course as a nation. They can also lead us to great success. We seem to have gotten carried away
with the success of a few in the field of information technology. But that, indeed, is nothing
compared to what we can and should achieve. Ancient India was a knowledge society and a
leader in many intellectual pursuits, particularly in the fields of Mathematics, Medicine and
Astronomy. A renaissance is imperative for us to once again become a knowledge super power
rather than simply providing cheap labour in areas of high technology.
