Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

The port of Natal in Durban is also known as Port Natal. Abdulla Sheth was there to receive me. As the ship arrived at the quay and I watched the people coming on board to meet their friends, I observed that the Indians were not held in much respect. I could not fail to notice a sort of snobbishness about the manner in which those who knew Abdulla Sheth behaved towards him, and it stung me. Abdulla Sheth had got used to it. Those who looked at me did so with a certain amount of curiosity. My outfit marked me out from other Indians. I had a frock-coat and a turban, an imitation of the Bengal pugree.

I was taken to the firm's quarters and shown into the room set apart for me, next to Abdulla Sheth's. He did not understand me, I could not understand him. He read the papers his brother had sent through me, and felt more puzzled. He thought his brother had sent him a white elephant. My style of dressing and living struck him as being expensive, like that of the Europeans. There was no particular work then which could be given me. Their case was going on in the Transvaal. There was no meaning in sending me there immediately.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

Delhi, the brash, bustling Indian capital of today, was, in effect, born in 1947. In the wake of India's partition, thousands of Muslims fled, while Hindu and Sikh refugees poured in. Delhi took in nearly half a million refugees from Pakistan before and after August, 1947. Large parts of today's Delhi grew out of the refugee camps that sprung up along its limits 74 years ago.

In 1942, little existed beyond Civil Lines known for its 'European-style hotels', including the famous Maidens Hotel. North of that was a vast tract of empty land on 'Kingsway'. This was earmarked for the Viceroy's house (which later became the Rashtrapati Bhavan), which was eventually built on Raisina Hill. Kingsway itself would become home to the Kingsway Camp, Delhi's largest refugee camp.

By 1956, Delhi's northern limits expanded. The Indian government had allotted 2,000 acres of land to the Ministry of Relief and Rehabilitation to permanently resettle refugees. One of the earliest such colonies to come up was Vijay Nagar, west of Civil Lines. Model Town, further up, and to the west, was also on the map by then.

The South Delhi of today was agricultural land in the 1940s, until the government started buying land there to permanently resettle refugees. Officials from the Ministry of Relief and Rehabilitation drove through these parts, and even rode through on horseback, inspecting land for refugee colonies. By 1956, southern Delhi began to take shape with the appearance of Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony and Malviya Nagar. But the rest of what forms South Delhi today was not on the map yet. Barring Malviya Nagar in the far south, where land had been allocated for industries, the South Delhi of 1956 was still largely made up of villages and splendid, ghostly tombs.

Land in western Delhi was allotted to refugees after 1947. These refugee colonies, U-shaped with a park in the middle, became the template for subsequent neighbourhoods, partly because they were built by the same urban planners who shaped Delhi through the 50 s and 60s. But this was the beginning of Rajinder Nagar, West Patel Nagar, Moti Nagar, Rajouri Gardens: overwhelmingly Punjabi neighbourhoods that are today quintessentially Delhi. "The city that was once a Mughal city, then a British city, had by the 1950s emphatically become a Punjabi city," according to historian V N Dutta. The adjectives for Delhi also changed: what was once stately, languid and literary became boisterous, hearty and enterprising. And its map was transformed.

गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए और दिए गए प्रश्नों के उत्तर दीजिए।

लेखन का आशय यहाँ यांत्रिक हस्तकौशल से नहीं है। उसका आशय भाषा के सहारे किसी चीज पर विचार करने और उस विचार को व्याकरणिक शुद्धता के साथ सुसंगठित रूप में अभिव्यक्त करने से है। याद रखें, भाषा विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति का माध्यम ही नहीं, स्वयं विचार करने का साधन भी है। विचार करने और उसे व्यक्त करने की यह प्रक्रिया निबंध के चिरपरिचित विषयों के साथ आमतौर पर घटित नहीं हो पाती। इसका कारण यह है कि उन पर तैयारशुदा सामग्री प्रचुर मात्रा में उपलब्ध रहती है और हम कुछ नया सोचने-लिखने की जहमत उठाने के बजाय उसी सामग्री पर निर्भर हो जाते हैं। मौलिक प्रयास एवं अभ्यास को बाधित करने वाली यह निर्भरता हमारे अंदर लिखित अभिव्यक्ति की क्षमता विकसित नहीं होने देती। इसलिए यह बहुत जरूरी है कि हम निबंध के परंपरागत विषयों को छोड़ कर नए तरह के विषयों पर लिखने का अभ्यास करें। यही अभ्यास हमें अपने मौलिक अधिकारों में से एक-अभिव्यक्ति के अधिकार का पूरा-पूरा उपयोग कर पाने की सामर्थ्य देगा। ऐसे लेखन के लिए आपको जिस तरह के विषय दिए जा सकते हैं, उनकी संख्या अपरिमित है। आपके सामने की दीवार, उस दीवार पर टंगी घड़ी, उस दीवार में बाहर की ओर खुलता झरोखा-कुछ भी उसका विषय हो सकता है। ऐसे विषय भी हो सकते हैं, जिनमें इनके मुकाबले खुलापन थोड़ा कम हो और 'फोकस' अधिक स्पष्ट हो।
