Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions 11 to 15 :
Radically changing monsoon patterns, reduction in the winter rice harvest and a
quantum increase in respiratory diseases all part of the environmental doomsday
scenario which is reportedly playing out in South Asia. According to a United Nations
Environment Programme report, a deadly three-kilometer deep blanket of pollution
comprising a fearsome, cocktail of ash, acids, aerosols and other particles has enveloped
in this region. For India, already struggling to cope with a drought, the implication of
this are devastating and further crop failure will amount to a life and death question
for many Indians. The increase in premature deaths will have adverse social and
economic consequences and a rise in morbidities will place an unbearable burden on
our crumbling health system. And there is no one to blame but ourselves. Both official
and corporate India has always been allergic to any mention of clean technology. Most
mechanical two wheelers roll of the assembly line without proper pollution control
system. Little effort is made for R&D on simple technologies, which could make a vital
difference to people?s lives and the environment.
However, while there is no denying that South Asia must clean up its act, skeptics
might question the timing of the haze report. The Kyoto meet on climate change is just
two weeks away and the stage is set for the usual battle between the developing world
and the West, particularly the Unites States of America. President Mr. Bush has
adamantly refused to sign any protocol, which would mean a change in American
consumption level. U.N. environment report will likely find a place in the U.S. arsenal
as it plants an accusing finger towards controls like India and China. Yet the U.S.A.
can hardly deny its own dubious role in the matter of erasing trading quotas
Richer countries can simply buy up excess credits from poorer countries and
continue to pollute. Rather than try to get the better of developing countries, who
undoubtedly have taken up environmental shortcuts in their bid to catch up with the
West, the USA should take a look at the environmental profigacy, which is going on
within. From opening up virgin territories for oil exploration to relaxing the standards
for drinking water, Mr. Bush?s policies are not exactly beneficial, not even to America?s
interests. We realize that we are all in this together and that pollution anywhere should
be a global concern otherwise there will only be more tunnels at the end of the tunnel.

The ?new? women themselves soon began to play a role as writers and advocates reform.
One outspoken woman princely ruler, the Begum of Bhopal, covered from head to foot
in the garment known as a
burqa,
travelled widely to encourage education of girls.
Pandita Ramabai (1858-1922), rigorously educated in Sanskrit classics, travelled
throughout India to advocate women?s education and social reform and wrote tracts
in support of her views. Widowed at age twenty five, she travelled to England to learn
English and pursue medical studies, and became a convert to a Christianity she
interpreted on her own terms. In 1888, she founded a home school for widows in
Bombay, followed by another in Poona. A Deccani Brahman woman, Gangabai,

Kali School?) in Calcutta in 1893, intended to inculcate Hindu religious and moral
principles; the school had the patronage of a wealthy landlord, the Maharaja of
Darbhanga. A Bengali Muslim, Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880-1932), set up
schools for girls, denounced extreme seclusion, and wrote extensively, including a
brilliant satire,

(1905), in which the roles of men and women were
