RC Passage:
The production of histories of India has become very frequent in recent years and may well call for some explanation. Why so many and why this one is particular? The reason is a twofold one: changes in the Indian scene requiring a reinterpretation of the facts and changes in attitudes of historians about the essential elements of Indian history. These two considerations are in addition to the normal fact of fresh information, whether in the form of archeological discoveries throwing fresh light on an obscure period or culture, or the revelations caused by the opening of archives or the release of private papers. The changes in the Indian scene are too obvious to need emphasis. Only two generations ago, British rule seemed to most Indian as well as British observers likely to extend into an indefinite future; now there is a teenage generation which knows nothing of it. Changes in the attitudes of historians have occurred everywhere, changes in attitudes to the 'content of the subject as well as to particular countries, but in India there have been some special features. Prior the British, Indian historiographers were mostly Muslims, who relied, as in the case of Sayyid Ghulam Hussian, on their own reflection of events and on information from friends and men of affairs. Only a few like Abul Fazl had access to official papers. These were personal narrative of events varying in value with the nature of the writer. The early British writers were officials. In the eighteenth century, they were concerned with some aspect Company policy, or, like Robert Orme in his Military Transactions, gave a straight narrative in what was essentially a continuation of the Muslim tradition. In the early nineteenth century, the writers were still, with two notable exceptions, officials, but they were now engaged in chronicling, in varying moods of zest, pride, and awe, the rise of the British power in India to supremacy. The two exceptions were James Mill, with his critical attitude to the Company and John Marchman, the Baptist missionary. But they, like the officials, were anglo-centric in their attitude, so that the history of modern India in their hands came to be the history of the rise of the British in India.
The official school dominated the writing of Indian history until we get the first professional historian's approach, Ramsay Muir and P.E. Roberts in England and H.H. Dodwell in India. Then Indian Historians trained in the English school joined in, of whom the most distinguished was Sir Jadunath Sarkar and the other notable writers: Surendranath Sen, Dr. Radhakumud Mukerji, and Professor Nilakanta Shastri. They, it may be said, restored India to Indian history, but their bias was mainly political. Finally have come the nationalists who range from those who can find nothing good or true in the British to sophisticated historical philosophers like K.M. Panikker.
Along with type of historians, with their varying bias, have gone changes in the attitude to the content of Indian history. Here Indian historians have been influenced both by their local situation and by changes of thought elsewhere. It is in this field that this work can claim some attention since it seeks to break new ground, or perhaps to deepen a freshly turned furrow in the field of Indian history. The early official historians were content with the glamour and drama of political history: Plassey to the Mutiny, from Dupleix to the Sikhs. But when the raj was settled down, glamour departed from politics, and they turned to the less glorious but more solid ground of administration. Not how India was conquered but how it was governed was the theme of this school of historians. It found its archpriest in H.H. Dodwell, its priestess in Dame Lilian Penson, and its chief shrine in the Volume VI of the Cambridge History of India. Meanwhile in Britain other currents were moving which led historical study into the economic and social fields. R.C Dutt entered the first of these currents with Economic History of India to be followed more recently by the whole group of Indian economic historians. W.E. Moreland extended these studies to the Mughal Period. Social history is now being increasingly studied and there is also of course a school of nationalist historians who see modern Indian history in terms of the rise and the fulfillment of the national movement.All these approaches have value, but all share in the quality of being compartmental. It is not enough to remove political history from its pedestal of being the only kind of history worth having if it is merely to put other types of history in its place. Too exclusive an attention to economic, social or administrative history can be as sterile and misleading as too much concentration on politics. A whole subject needs a whole treatment for understanding. A historian of a country must contain all the features just cited but must present them as parts of a single consistent themeQuestion 1

RC:
In the modern scientific story, light was created not once but twice. The first time was in the Big Bang when the universe began its existence as a glowing, expanding, fireball which cooled off into darkness after a few million years. The second time was hundreds of millions of years later when the cold material condensed into dense nuggets under the influence of gravity, and ignited to become the first stars.
Sir Martin Rees, Britain's astronomer royal, named the long interval between these two enlightenments the cosmic “Dark Age”. The name describes not only the poorly lit conditions, but also the ignorance of astronomers about the period. Nobody knows exactly when the first stars formed or how they organized themselves into galaxies or even whether stars were the first luminous objects. They may have been preceded by quasars, which are mysterious, bright spots found at the centers of some galaxies.
Now two independent group of astronomers, one led by Robert Becker of the University of California, Davis and the other by George Djorgovski of the Caltech, claim to have peered far enough into space with their telescopes (and therefore backwards enough in time) to observe the closing days of the Dark Age.
The main problem that plagued previous efforts to study the Dark Age was not the lack of suitable telescopes but rather the lack of suitable things at which to point them. Because these events took place over 18 billion years ago, if astronomers are to have any hope of unraveling them they study objects that are at least 13 billion light years away. The best prospects are quasars, because they are so bright and compact that they can be seen across vast stretches of space. The energy source that powers a quasar is unknown although it is suspected to be the intense gravity of a giant black hole. However at the distances required for the study of Dark Age, even quasars are extremely rare and faint.
Recently some members of Dr. Becker's steam announced their discovery of the four most distant quasars known, all the new quasars are terribly faint, a challenge that both teams overcame by peering at them through one of the twin Keck telescope in Hawaii. These are the world's largest and can therefore collect the most light. The new work by Dr. Becker's team analyzed the light from all four quasars. Three of them appeared to be similar to ordinary, less distant quasars. However, the fourth and most distant, unlike any other quasar even seen, showed unmistakable signs of being shrouded in a fog of hydrogen gas. This gas is left over material from the Big Bang that did not condense into stars or quasars. It acts like fog because new born stars and quasars emit mainly ultraviolet light, and hydrogen gas is opaque to ultraviolet. Seeing this fog had been the goal of would be Dark Age astronomers since 1965, when James Gunn and Bruce Peterson spelled out the technique for using quasars as backlighting becomes to observe the fog's ultraviolet shadow.
The fog prolonged the period of darkness until the heat from the first stars and quasars had the chance to ionize the hydrogen (breaking it into its constituent parts, protons and electrons). Ionized hydrogen is transparent to ultraviolet radiation, so at that moment the fog lifted and the universe became the well-lit place it is today. For this reason, the end of the Dark Age is called the “Epoch of Re-ionization”. Because the ultraviolet shadow is visible only in the most distant of the four quasars, Dr. Becker's team concluded that the fog had dissipated completely by the time the universe was about 900 million years old, and one-seventh of its current size.

A. The period when the universe became cold after the Big Bang.
B. A period about which astronomers know very little.

A. Could only be seen with the help of large telescopes.
B. Appear to be similar to other ordinary quasars.
C. Appear to be shrouded in a fog of hydrogen gas.
D. Have been sought to be discovered by Dark Age astronomers since 1965.
Question 4
