मानवीय संवेदनाओं की अभिव्यक्ति की छटपटाहट और बेचैनी से उपजी है - चित्रकला। जब अक्षर नहीं थे, भाषा नहीं थी तो मनुष्य ने अपने अंदर की खुशी और उदासी को प्रकट करने के लिए चित्र बनाए। अनपढ़, अस्पष्ट किंतु भावों से भरपूर बिहार की मधुबनी कला हो या आंध्र की कलमकारी कला, राजस्थान की फड़ चित्रकारी हो या उड़ीसा की पट चित्रकारी। तमाम तरह की चित्रांकन शैलियों का उद्गम स्थल भावनाओं का आंतरिक उद्वेग ही है। वारली ऐसी ही एक आदिवासी लोकअंकन शैली है, जिसका जन्म सदियों पहले हुआ।
वारली चित्रकारी में न्यूनतम उपादान तथा सरल, सीधी, तिकोन, गोल रेखाओं का ऐसा आत्मीय व अद्भुत सौंदर्य रचा जाता है कि वह देखने वाले को विमुग्ध कर देता है। वारली कला की सादगी ही उसकी ताकत है। इस कला को वारली आदिवासी जाति ने शुरू किया था। इसका नाम वारली चित्रकारी पड़ गया। चित्रकारी वारली लोगों की अभिव्यक्ति का माध्यम ही नहीं, जीवन की ऊब से उबरने का जरिया है, साथ ही उनके समाज का ज़रूरी रिवाज़ भी। 'वारली' आदिवासी जाति महाराष्ट्र के दहाणु गाँव, जिला ठाणे के निवासी हैं, जो मुंबई के उत्तर में है।

'वारली' चित्रकारी का नामकरण हुआ है –

Q1.

आज शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में भी बाजारीकरण हो जाने के कारण शिक्षा महँगी और गरीबों की पहुँच से बाहर हो चुकी है। एक ओर तो रुचि और उपयोगिता के अनुसार उपयुक्त शिक्षा पाने के लिए गरीबों के पास धन उपलब्ध नहीं है, तो वहीं जो संपन्न हैं इनके पास समय का अभाव है। ऐसे में ऑनलाइन शिक्षा व्यवस्था एक बेहतर विकल्प के तौर पर उभरी है। पिछले वर्ष देश के गरीब और स्कूल न जा सकने वाले बच्चों के लिए सरकार की ओर से प्रभावी कदम उठाते हुए ई-शिक्षा व्यवस्था की शुरुआत करते हुए 'स्वयं डाँट जीयोजी डाँट इन' वेब पोर्टल की शुरुआत की गई है। इससे बच्चे ऑनलाइन शिक्षा पा सकेंगे और उन्हें किसी भी तरह का शुल्क नहीं देना होगा। इस पोर्टल की विशेषता यह है कि इससे छात्र मैनेजमेंट, इंजीनियरिंग सहित तमाम पाठ्यक्रमों की पढ़ाई घर बैठे कर सकेंगे। इससे छात्रों को घर बैठे ही सर्टिफिकेट और डिग्री भी हासिल होंगे, जो किसी भी विश्वविद्यालय में मान्य होंगे।

ऑनलाइन एजुकेशन के प्रति लोगों का बढ़ता उत्साह देखकर कहा जा सकता है कि भारत में इसका भविष्य उज्ज्वल है। यही कारण है कि अब अधिकतर शिक्षण संस्थान इस व्यवस्था को अपना रहे हैं। पढ़ाई का बढ़ता खर्च और किसी भी प्रोफेशनल कोर्स की डिग्री प्राप्त करने के लिए कॉलेजों का चुनाव, प्रवेश परीक्षा और फिर एक साथ मोटी फीस चुकाना युवाओं की बढ़ती संख्या के लिए काफी मुश्किल साबित हो रहा है। भारत में केवल बारह प्रतिशत छात्रों को विश्वविद्यालय में प्रवेश मिलता है। ऐसे में ऑनलाइन शिक्षा देने वाली कंपनियों के लिए भारत एक बहुत बड़ा बाजार बन गया है। आज एक-दूसरे को समझने-जानने की जिज्ञासा भी लोगों में बढ़ी हुई देखी जाती है। ऐसे में किसी देश की भाषा सीखना आवश्यक हो जाता है क्योंकि भाषा सीखने से उस देश की संस्कृति तथा अन्य बातें समझी जा सकती हैं। इसीलिए भारत के प्रति भी रुचि बढ़ी है और हिंदी सीखने-सिखाने की माँग भी बढ़ी है। यह भारत के लिए, विशेषकर हिंदी भाषा के लिए शुभ संकेत है।

'ऑनलाइन शिक्षा व्यवस्था' का तात्पर्य है

CTET Paper II - Jul 2019, Q121 (Official PYQ)

(A)

किसी भी प्रकार के शुल्क से मुक्त शिक्षा

(B)

घर बैठे इंटरनेट के माध्यम से शिक्षा

Q1.

1. India experienced a 15% drop in fresh Covid - 19 cases detected in the week ending Sunday, the lowest weekly count in more than six months with Kerala numbers declining by a steep 21%. The country reported over 2.14 lakh new cases in the week (September 13-19), down from 2.51 lakh in the previous seven days. This was the lowest numbers of cases reported in 27 weeks since March 8-14 (for weeks ending Sunday).
2. The sharp fall in all India infections was mainly due to numbers dropping in Kerala, which still accounts for 62% of all cases in the country during this week. Two weeks earlier, Kerala's weekly case count had crossed 2 lakhs, as the latest wave of the pandemic in the state peaked; cases continued to decline in Maharashtra while Mizoram and Tamil Nadu registered a rise in infections during the week.
3. Meanwhile, on Sunday, India reported 30,814 fresh cases, nearly the same as the number on the previous day (31,242) as Kerala logged 19,653 new infections. The state had recorded 19,352 cases the previous day.

Q2.

I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a disposition not very dissimilar to my own temperament. Observing my partiality for having pets at home, she lost no opportunity of procuring those of the most agreeable kind. We had birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey, and a cat.

This latter was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, entirely black, observant and thoughtful to an astonishing degree. In speaking of his intelligence, my wife, who at heart was not a little superstitions, made frequent allusions to the ancient popular notion, which regarded all black cats as witches in disguise. Not that she was ever serious upon this point - and I mention the matter at all for no reason than that it happens, just now, to be remembered.

Pluto - this was the cat's name - was my favourite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me through the streets.

Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for many years, during which my general temperament underwent a change for the worse. I grew, day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feeling of others. I suffered myself to use foul language to my wife. At length I offered her violence. My pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my behaviour. I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still retained sufficient regard to 'restrain' me from maltreating him. But my disease grew upon me - for what disease is like Alcohol! And at length even Pluto, who was now becoming old and somewhat peevish - even Pluto began to experience the effects of my ill temper.

'a disposition not very dissimilar ....'
The underlined word here means the same as:

CTET Paper II - Dec 2021 session, 07 Jan 2022 (CBT), Q82 (Official PYQ)

Continue reading the article as-is, since the students in your class are all from India and it should not hurt their sentiments.
