Read the passage and answer to the question:
Shilpi was
only 15 years old when she married Rashid in 2008. Marrying off daughters at an
early age is a standard practice for many families living in rural Bangladesh.
After her weeding, Shilpi joined a local empowerment group that provides
adolescent girls with tools needed to gradually change cultural practices,
particularly those pertaining to early marriage and pregnancy. The group’s activities
include discussion on how to most effectively change behavior related to
reproductive health as well as one on one counseling. It also offers peer- to
peer support and life skills training that help adolescent say no to early
marriage. The empowerment group is one
of more than 10000 groups supported by some local Non Government Organization
(NGOs) working all over Bangladesh.
These NGOs work through Canada’s
Adolescent Reproductive Health Project which also aims to increase access to
quality health services for adolescents. During one of the group seasons,
Shilpi came to understand the potentially harmful effects of early marriage and
pregnancy. While maternal mortally in Bangladesh has declined by nearly
40 percent since 2001, the rate remains high with 194 maternal deaths per 10000
live births in 2010 dropping from 322 in 2001 with a projected decrease to 143
by 205. Girls who get pregnant are at risk of serious health complications. These
include dangerous hemorrhage and fistula, a painful internal injury caused by
obstructed childbirth that commonly leads to serious maternal morbidities and
social exclusion.

The term
Diaspora is used to refers to people who have left their homelands and settled
in other parts of the world, either because they were forced to do so or
because they wanted to leave on their own. The word is increasingly used for
such people as a collective group and a community. The word has seen many
diasporas but scholars have been studying the phenomenon with great interest
only in recent decades. Among the great diasporas of history is that of the
Jewish people, who were forced to leave their lands in ancient times. The
movement of Aryans from Central Europe to
the Indian sub-continent thousands of
years ago is also a noteworthy Diaspora , although the causes of this Diaspora
are unclear. In twentieth century history, the Palestinian Diaspora has attracted a lot of attention and
been a cause of concern for world
leaders because of the plight of
Palestinians. There have been massive Diasporas in African, too over the
centuries, either because of war or because of the ravages of nature. But the
chief reason why the phenomenon of Diaspora is attracting so much attention now
is globalization

According to
the some myths and legends, Gazi pir was a Muslim saint who is said to have
spread Islam in the parts of Bengal close to
the sunder bans. He was created with many miracles. For example, he could
supposedly clam dangerous animals and make them docile. He is usually depicted
in paats or scroll paintings riding a fierce bangle tiger, a snake in his hand,
but in no apparent danger. According to some stories, he also fought crocodiles
who threaded the people of a region full of canals and creeks, indeed a kind of
watery jungle bordering the bay of bangle. Because of his alert and vigilant
presence, all predatory animals were said to have been kept within bounds. It
was also believed that he enabled villagers to live close to forests and
jungles and cultivate their lands. Consequently, people of these regions would
pray to him for protection. The story of Gazi Pir has been preserved in folk
literature as well as art has been been performed in indigenous theater. In
fact, some Gazi paat scrolls are part of the collection of the British Museum.

I sit on one of the divers
On fifty- second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire.
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.
