Song of Youth As a young citizen of India, armed with technology, knowledge and love for my nation, I realize, small aim is a crime. I will work and sweat for a great vision, the vision of transforming India into a developed nation, powered by economic strength with value system. I am one of the citizens of the billion; Only the vision will ignite the billion souls. I will keep the lamp of knowledge burning to achieve the vision – Developed India. If we work and sweat for the great vision with ignited minds, the transformation leading to the birth of vibrant developed India will happen. I pray the Almighty: “May the divine peace with beauty enter into our people; Happiness and good health blossom in our bodies, minds and souls”. |

B. Homi J. Bhabha
Homi Jehangir Bhabha was born on October 30, 1909 in Bombay and played an important role in Quantum Theory.
He was the first person to be appointed as the Chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission. Bhabha returned to India after beginning his scientific career in nuclear physics in the United Kingdom, and played a key role in convincing the Congress Party's senior leaders, most notably Jawaharlal Nehru, to launch the ambitious nuclear programme.
Bhabha is widely regarded as the father of Indian nuclear power. Few people are aware that he was adamantly opposed to India developing nuclear weapons, even if the country possessed the necessary resources. Instead, he proposed that the development of an atomic reactor be used to alleviate India's misery and poverty.
On January 24, 1966, he died when Air India Flight 101 crashed near Mont Blanc. Many theories about the crash surfaced, including one in which the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is involved in order to paralyze India's nuclear programme.

The passage given below is on Kabbadi. Read the passage and complete the activities that follow.
Kabbadi (கபடி - in Tamil) is a contact team sport that originated in Tamil Nadu, India. It is the national sport of Bangladesh. It is also popular in South Asia and is the state game of the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Telangana.
Kabbadi is played between two teams of seven players: the objective of the game is for a single player on offence referred to as a 'raider', to run in to the opposing teams half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court–all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be 'revived' for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle. The raider should hold his breath and utter the words like 'kabbadi kabbadi, hututu hututu, chadu kudu' etc. while the opponents try to catch him. If he stops uttering these words, he is considered out.
The game is known by its regional names in different parts of the subcontinent, such as Kabbadi or Chedugudu in Andhra Pradesh, Kabbadi in Kerala and Telangana, Hadudu in Bangladesh, Bhavatik in Maldives, Kauddi or Kabbadi in the Punjab Region, Hu-Tu-Tu in Western India and Hu-Do-Do in Eastern India and Chadakudu in South India.
