Today perhaps your only association with the word 'polio' is the Sabin Oral Vaccine that protects children from the disease. Fifty-five years ago, this was not so.

The timing couldn't have been better. It is entirely fitting that on the eve of the Rio Olympics a sports film - Haria Yadav: Born To Swim - on an Indian child swimmer, should hit the screens. What's more significant, however, is that Haria Yadav manages to break away from a whole lot of principle arcs and formulae even while remaining squarely within the conventions of a typical Indian sports film.It is not weighed down by the burden of nationalism; in fact it inverts and questions it. It is not quite about winning for India. Then there is the 'triumph of the underdog' cliche. Yes there is an underprivileged child at the heart of the film but we don't wallow in the squalor of his slum life in Ranchi, nor do we celebrate his rise up from the bottom of the heap. It is about how India can actually crush its own hope for medals, trample a champion on the margins of the society than help him blossom. In fact it also makes us debate whether it is entirely ethical in dreaming of a champion in a mere five year old? For a change, it's also good not to have Mumbai and Delhi as the centre of action in a Hindi film. A new filmmaker from Jharkhand comes up with an assured debut-nicely paced, well crafted and entirely engaging. A film that is rooted in the state, brings alive the sights, sounds, lingos, colours and flavours of Jharkhand, and yet manages to speak to all.Yes the film is on the wonder boy from the state, Haria Yadav, but it would not be quite right to describe it as a biopic. It is not about that talented little boy but the circus that got built around him. The boy, who wets his bed, can't even tie his shoelaces and can hardly comprehend the significance of swimming as a sport and carrier.Like another good sports film, Paan Singh Tomar, the world of Haria is riddled with complexities, at the heart of which is his coach Biplab Das. The ambitious man drives a five year old round the bend relentlessly, pushes him to the limits yet cares enough to get him a new swimsuit, feeds him almonds and apples and cries silently on getting separated from him.Much rests on Aryaan Kapoor's seemingly effortless performance as ajudo coach who trains 22 orphans in his hostel and also runs a dhaba and a salon to make ends meet. Never once does Aryaan appear to act and finely balances out Biplab - neither a hero, nor a villain, just a human being with flaws and warts. There is a fine line that separates ambition from obsession, a visionary from an opportunist and Aryaan's Biplab stands very well on it. The best bit about the film is how it looks at these grey zones without being judgmental.'It is not weighed down by the burden of nationalism'.Why the author thinks that the film has not weighed down by the burden of nationalism? |
| A. | Because the film. is not about the social condition of an underprivileged child. |
| B. | Because the film is about the struggle of an underprivileged child, who is trying to rise above his obstacles. |
| C. | The film stresses basically, not on the life of a swimmer, but on all the circus that got woven around the wonder kid from Jharkhand. |
| D. | The film is all about sports, in-born talent and the necessary hard work needed to succeed. |
| E. | None of these |
| Answer» D. The film is all about sports, in-born talent and the necessary hard work needed to succeed. | |

The moon's role in causing tides is much more high and important than that the sun me reason is mat the moon enjoys more proximity to the earth than the sun as such its force of attraction is stronger than that of the sun in attracting the surface water. Tides are of immense importance. In trade, navigation and fishing, tides are very useful. During the high tide, the water depth near the coast goes up and helps big ships to reach the ports. Kandia port in Gujarat and Diamond Harbour in West Bengal owe theirvery existence to the tides only. The significance of both London and Kolkata also depends on the tides.Tides also keep the harbours clear of refuse and mud brought down by rivers and thus they do not allow the harbours to be silted. Commonly, the tidal rivers are navigable. For the purpose of generating electricity, tidal waves are harnessed. Tides do not allow the sea water to be frozen by keeping the sea water in motion. Tides are also made use by the fishermen for sailing into the sea and returning to the harbour. In the countries like Canada, U.K., France and Japan, tidal power stations are set up.Why does the moon play a greater role than the sun in causing tides? |
| A. | The moon is closer to the earth as compared to the sun. |
| B. | The moon has greater gravitational pull. |
| C. | The moon shines in night. |
| D. | None of the above. |
| Answer» B. The moon has greater gravitational pull. | |
