ACTIVITY: XIII: Foreseeing Result Give the consequences of given situation when it happens in the future. Task: 1: Outbreak of communal violence Answers Indian society is a good example for the slogan ‘unity in diversity’. Because Indians are diverse in their mother tongue, religion, castes, colour, customs etc. Thus there are many chances for the out breaks of violence, especially in the name of caste and religion, because these are the two things which hypnotize people’s mind easily. Man will turn into a cruel animal when the spirit of community feeling comes in. Each member will try to destroy their enemy by any means even though once they were close friends. Use of explosives and other modern weapons and killing of each other will become common thing. Government cannot control that because they will support any one of the group. Government will announce emergency period in that part.

Task : 1: Write a review for the book you have recently read Answer Title : BREATHLESS IN BOMBAYAuthor : Murzban F. Shroff Mumbai has recently been crowned the dirtiest city in India and seventh dirtiest in the whole world. A city that means different things to different people, a land of opportunity to penniless people who make it big; a rainbow at the end of many travails for those who seek and find frame; an existence of sheer drudgery for the millions that flock to its shores in the hope of finding a life and finally a city that continues to fascinate and repel at the same time. Many books have been written on this city – some in praise, some defiling it. Mumbai haunts like no other. Be it poor dhobis that eke out a living on its shores. The dabbawalahs, the old Parsis who have made this city theirs for generations, or the boorish taxiwallah who refuses to play ball. All these different and unique characters make this city what it is. Their struggles spill out onto the city’s footpaths where many spend their lives. If there is gold to be found there, there is also heart ache. This anthology of short stories epitomizes all these characters with a surprising dexterity.
