SECTION A - READING
Q1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: - (10 marks)
No one would quarrel with the state for having honoured Rasipuram Krishnaswamy Laxman with Padma Vibhushan . For
Laxman the creator of the silent but observant ‘Common Man’ who has kept three generations of readers of The Times of India
company at breakfast , is no friend of power and wealth.
Apart from a brief interval , Laxman has been continuously at work for the last Fifty-eight years , recording foibles with an
unsparing , independent eye. He has punctured the pride of many people through his cartoons which take a close look at peoples
pretences and bring them out in the open in a matter of fact manner. Even now he has the ability to frankly criticise people and their
actions and he continues to offer amusement to the people of India.
The Common Man , The legendary hero of Laxman’s pocket cartoon ‘ You Said It’ has represented the Indian since the
late 1940’s. As a voiceless witness – accompanied by his wife or by a changing cast of characters – he has battled several things. If
no one remembers today who The Times of India cartoonist was before Laxman came in , it is because there was none. Laxman
who joined the paper in 1947 had become indispensable within ten years. Having launched off as a freelance cartoonist in Mysore ,
he had hoped to work in Delhi. He first came to Mumbai only to look at the sights. His tourist adventure become more serious when
a friend offered to take him to Mumbai Stock Exchange. After amusing himself, watching the shouting and gesticulating at the stock
exchange , he walked down the Meadows Street. He saw a large board which read – The Free Press Journal. He went in to meet
the editor and was given a job.
He did a variety of daily cartoons, caricatures and Sunday specials for the Free Press Journal. India had by then achieved
independence but at the cost of partition. Laxman the caricaturist, had a field day with Gandhi, Jinnah, Mountbatten, Nehru and other
‘actors’ in those momentous dramas.
Laxman soon quit the The Free Press Journal and joined The Times of India. He just walked into The Times of India office
, ‘ No one stopped me, so I wandered in , came up to the third floor and asked to see the Editor ‘ recalls Laxman. He was asked to
meet Walter Langhammer , who was the art director of The Times of India. Langhammer already knew his work and hired him
immediately. From that day, Laxman’s cartoons have greeted the readers of the newspaper every morning with the themes ranging
from political commentary to humour .

Macavity a Mystery cat : he’s called the hidden Paw

You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again – Macavity is not there!
