Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:UNCHANGED FACE OF STUDENTS AGITATION (1) What is new yesterday becomes obsolete today. Everything moves at a fast pace. But strangely enough, students ‘strikes have not changed a wee bit. May be because of the fact that out of about 3,000 students in a college, only a handful comes equipped with books or a pen. (2) The only perceptible change is that a majority of them come on expensive motorbikes and quite a few carry mobiles in their hands. (3) Small wonder that whenever any small group of so-called student leaders persuades these time-pass students to go on a strike may be on as flimsy an issue as that of the size of a samosa in the canteen, they readily oblige. (4) In fact, just a few “hai hai” calls are sufficient to gather a number of giggling groups that soon turn into a mob. (5) Let us have a closer look at the student agitation that has rocked city colleges now for weeks. (6) A recent fee hike and alleged disparity in fund collection among local colleges affiliated to Punjab University is reported to be the “immediate cause”. (7) Its immediacy can well be gauged from the fact that the first installment of the hiked fee was deposited by students a few months ago without a moan! (8) Waste of valuable teaching time apart, a few ill-advised students went to resorting selfinflicting violence for the “cause”! All this led to a volatile situation that embarrassed the university authorities, being the venue of the strike. (9) The situation eased temporarily after the intervention of politicians, who met the authorities that be and issued high sounding statements in favour of the student community. (10) Fund, fee or samosa, whatever the issue, the student community should realize that while losing valuable paid learning time, they cannot justify their demand for reducing the alleged financial fee/fund hike. (11) Before asking for concessions or fee-fund reduction, they should grab what they have already paid for it. It is high time that they ask for more teaching hours than what is stipulated for them. Paying for 100 lectures and asking for 65 is simply a ridiculous demand and not worth a strike. (12) Until Indian parents stop paying, at time through their nose, for the higher education of their children, who should start learning only after themselves, the situation, perhaps, will not change. a) On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions in your own words as far s possible.
