PASSAGE 2: M N Srinivas
EXERCISE : (Book Page No: 77)
Oral presentation on the ideologies of M.N.Srinivas
Answer:
        According to M.N.Srinivas, all religions in India are to be treated as equal and neutral. He thinks that religion plays an important role in the Indian society. It carries caste system which results in subdivisions of castes. The different castes affect the groups within each caste system. Each of these castes has its rank in which they are placed. It is these caste differences that pave way for more differences among the people. There are differences pertaining to occupation, hierarchy in society, purity of the system, panchayats and congregations. Any caste has three dominant power structures given to its: numerical power, political power and economic power. Now one more dominance has arisen, which is the status of a person whether he or she is high or low.

1. Write Recommendations for visiting a World Heritage Site.
Answer:
Mahabalipuram or Mamallapuram is a historic city and UNESCO World Heritage site in Tamil Nadu, India. It is worth visiting during vacation or one’s leisure time. The place is situated on the road to Chennai on the east coast road. During the reign of the Pallava dynasty, between the 3rd century CE and 7th century CE, it became an important centre of art, architecture and literature. Mahabalipuram was already a thriving sea port on the Bay of Bengal before this time. The Port temple was built by King Narasimha Pallava.
Ancient mariners considered this place the land of the Seven Pagodas. There are others who think that Mahabalipuram suffered from a great flood between 10,000 and 13,000 BCE.
A significant amount of coins and other artefacts excavated from this region also indicate a pre-existing trade relation with the Romans even before it became a part of the Pallava Empire.
The Adi Varaha Perumal Cave Temple is the earliest of all Pallava structures in Mahabalipuram, yet the least visited one. There is another curious structure known as Sri Krishna's Butter Ball that fascinates everyone in Mahabalipuram. It is not a sculpted piece but more of a handiwork of nature.
There are a number of tourist hotels and boarding houses here. So anybody visiting Chennai and India should not fail to pay a visit to this world famous archaeological site.
 
2. Write recommendations for visiting a Shopping Mall in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Answer:
A visit to a shopping mall is always exciting for people of all ages, especially kids. Phoenix Mall is a very big mall located in Mumbai. People visit the mall for shopping, watching movies, playing games and eating yummy meals. There were lots of shops in the mall selling clothes, shoes, bags, toys, etc. There were so many moving stairways called escalators in the mall. The visitors keep arriving every day for purchase of materials lying all in one place.
The maintenance of a mall is run by a committee who meet regularly to discuss how things can be improved in a mall. Shop owners should give instructions to cleaning staff and housekeeping to regularly clean the mall and throw water collected in the Washrooms. This will help the mall look spic and span. More and more shop owners should meet frequently and discuss on how to make the mall a better place for the people who visit the mall.
It is recommended that those who are experienced in visiting this mall know well about staff’s readiness and kind attention to all our requirements. They give masks and sanitization facilities at the entrance to prevent recurrence of Covid 19. So it is hereby encouraged to go to the mall and have personal satisfaction of visiting a good place.
