Read the following passage and the questions (1-2) :
The term ‘diaspora’ is used to refer to people who have left their homeland 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 / or a community. The world has seen many
diasporas but scholar 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 has been a massive diasporas in Africa 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.

The history of Bengal is the history of a people who have repeatedly made their highways
crimson with their blood. We shed blood in 1952; even though we were victors in the
elections of 1954 we could not form a government then. In 1958 Ayub khan declared
Martial Law to enslave us for the ten years. In 1966 when launched the six point

I’ve met President Yahya Khan. I’ve made a request to him not only on behalf of Bengal
but also as the leader of the party which has the majority in Pakistan: I said to him: “You
must hold the session of the National Assembly on 15 January”. But he did not listen to
me. He listen to Mr. Bhutto instead. At first he said that the meeting would place in the
first week of March. We said, “Fine, we will be taking our seats in the assembly then.”I
said we will carry out our discussions in the Assembly. I went so far as to say that if
anyone came up with an offer that was just, even though we were in the majority we would
agree to that offer.
