People bom tnto the nuddle class to parents 1Mth
college degrees have lived lives filled with what
French sociologist Pierre B ourclieu calls 'cultwal
capital'. Growing up in an educated environment, they
leam about Picasso and Mozart, stock portfolios and
creme brulee. In a home with cultwal capital, there are
networks: someone always has an aunt or golfing
buddy with the inside 1rack for an internship or some
entry level job. Dinner-table talk could involve what
happened that day to mom and dad at the law firm, the
doctor's office, or the executive suite. Middle-class
kids can grow up with a sense of entitlement that will
carry them through their lives. This 'belongingness' is
not just related to having material means; it also has to
do with learning and possessing confidence in your
place in the world. Such early access and direct
exposure to culture in the home is the more organic,
iegitimate' means of appropriating culturing capital,
Bourclieu tells us. Those of us possessing 'ill-gotten
Culture' can leam it, but never as welL Something is
a little off about us, like an engine with
imprecise timing. There's a greater match between
middleclass lives and the institutions in which the
middle class works and operates-lmiversities or
corp01:a1ions. Children of the middle and upper classes
have been speaking the language of the bosses and
supervisors forever.
Blue-collar kids are taught by their parents and
commwlities to work hard to achieve, and that merit is
rewarded. But no blue-collar parent know; whether
such things are true in the middle-class world. Many
professionals born to the wotking-class report feeling
out of place and out manoeuvred in the office. Soon
enough, Straddlers learn that straight talk wont always
cut .Resolving confticts head-on and speaking your
mind doesnt always wotk, no matter how educated the
Straddler is.
In the wotking-class, people perform jobs in which
they are closely supervised and are required to follow
orders and instructions. That, in tum, affects how they
socialize their children. Children of the wotking-class
are brought up in a home in which conformity,
obedience and intolerance for back talk are the norm-
the same chalacteristics that make a good factoty
worker.

Straddlers does the passage NOT support
explicitly?
a. Their food preferences may not match

b. They may not keep up some centtal

c. They are at home neither in the middle

d. Their political ideologies may differ from

both levels of our federal system there is the same
tusSle between those who have certain rights and those
r]f
" 't
who try to encroach upon them if they believe they
can. Thus the Union Government was able to encroach
upon certain rights given to the States by the
Constitution. It got away with that because the single
dominant party system, which characterized Centre-
State relations for close upon two decades, gave the
party in power at the Union level many extra-
constitutional political levers. Second, the Supreme
Court had not yet begun to extend the limits of its
power. But all that has changed in recent times. The
spurt given to a multi -party democracy by the
011erthrow of the Emergency in 1977 became a long-
term trend later on because of the ways in which a
vigorously democratic multi-party system works in a
political society which is as assertively pluralistic as
Indian society is. It gives political clout to all the
various segments which constitute that society.
Secondly, because of the linguistic organization of
States in the 1950s, many of the most assertive
segments have found their most assertive expression as
States. Thirdly, with single-party dominance becoming
a thing of the past at the Union level, governments can
be formed at that level only by trultiparty coalitions in
IMlich State-level parties are major players. This has
made it impossible for the Union Government to do
m.1ch about anything unless it also carries a sufficient
rrumber of State-level parties with it. Indian federalism
is now more real than it used to be, but an unfortunate
side-effect is that India's panchayati raj system,
inaugurated with such fanfare in the early 1930s, and clearly seen at work behind this kind of "grass roots
has become less real. development".
By the time the PR!s came on the scene, most of the
political space in ow- fedetal system had been occupied 36.
by the C en1re in the first 30 years of Independence,
and most of what was still left after that was occupied
by the States in the next 20. PR!s might have hoped to
wrest some space from their immediate neighbow-s,
the States, just as the States had wrested some from the
Centre. But having at last managed to checkmate the b.
Center's encroachments on their rights, the States were
not about to allow the PR!s to do some encroaching of
their own. c.
By the 1980s and early 1990s, the only national party

mentality. Finding itself sw-rounded by State-level d.

PASSAGf: rv
The endless struggle between the Jlesh and the spirit
found an end in Greek art. The Greek artists were
unaV\6re of it. They were spiritual materialists, never
denying the importance of the body and ever seeing in
the body a spiritual significance. Mysticism on the
whole was alien to the Greeks, thinkers as they were.
Thought and mysticism never go well together and
there is little symbolism in Greek art. Athena was not a
symbol of wisdom but an embodiment of it and her
statues were beautiful grave women, whose
seriousness might mark them as wise, but who were
marked in no other way. The Apollo Belvedere is not a
symbol of the sun, nor the Versailles Artemis of the
moon. There could be nothing less akin to the ways of
symbolism than their beautiful, normal humanity. Nor
did decoration really interest the Greeks. In all their '
they were preoccupied with
What they wanted to express, not with

expression, did not appeal to them at all.

perceived: each bit of the exquisitely wrought detail
had a mystical meaning and the temple's exterior was
important only as a means for the artist to inscribe
thereon the symbols of the truth. It is decomtion, not

yet - here is the Greek mimcle - this absolute
simplicity of structure is alone in majesty of beauty
among all the temples and cathethals and palaces of
the world. Majestic but human, truly Greek. No
superhuman force as in Egypt; no strange supernatwal
shapes as in India; the Parthenon is the home of
lrumanity at ease, calm, ordered, sure of itself and the
IMlrld. The Greeks Jlung a challenge to nature in the
fullness of their joyous strength. They set their temples
on the sunwlit of a hill overlooking the wide sea,
outlined against the circle of the sky. They would build
what lo\e.s more beautiful than hill and sea and sky and
than all these. It matters not at all if the temple
is large or small; one never thinks of the size. It
matters not how much it is in ruins. A few white
columns dominate the lofty height at Swlion as
securely as the great mass of the Parthenon dominates
all the sweep of sea and land around Athens. To the
Greek architect man was the master of the world. His
mind could understand its laws; his spirit could
discover its beauty.

c. Temples celebrate man's victory over
