The nanative ofDersu Uzala is divided into two major
sections, set in 1902 and 1907, that deal with sepatate
expeditions which Areseniev conducts into the Ussuri
region. In addition, a third time ftame fonns a
prologue to the film. Each ofthe tempotal flames has a
difference focus, and by shifting them Kurosawa is
able to describe the encroachment of settlements upon
the wilderness and the consequent erosion ofDersu's
(industrial society) and the end of things (the forest),
the commencement ofone world so young mat no one
has ha time yet to die and the eclipse of another, in
which Dersu has died. It is his grave for which the
explorer searches, His passing symbolises the new
order, the development that now surrounds Arseniev.

Th union government's position vis-a-vis the United
Nations conference on racial and related
discrimination world-wide seems to be the following:
discuss race please, not caste; caste is our very own
and not at a as bad as you think. The gross hypocrisy
of that position has been luciclly underscored by
Kancha Ilaiah. Explicitly, the IMlrld community is to
be cheated out of considering the matter on the
technicality that caste is not, as a concept, tantamount
to a racial categoty. Internally, however, allowing the
issue to be put onagenda at the said conferencewould,
we are particularly admonished, damage the country's
image. Somehow, India's spiritual beliefs elbow out
concrete actualities. Inverted representations, as we
know, have often been deployed in human histories as
bahn for the forsaken- religion being most persistent
of such inversions. Yet, we would humbly submit that
if globalising our tnalkets are thought good for the
'national' pocket, globalising our social inequities
might not be so bad for the mass of our people. After
all, racism was as uniquely institutionalised in South
Africa as caste discrimination has been within our
society; why then can't we permit the world
conmuniw to express itself on the latter with a
fraction ofthe zeal with which, through the years, we
pronounced on the forme!'? As to the technicality about
whether ornot caste is admissibleinto an agenda about
race (that the conference is also about related
discriminations tends to be forgotten), a reputed

9. sociologist has recently argued that where tace is a
'biological' category caste is a social' one.
Having earlier fiercely opposed
implementation ofthe l'Aandal CommissionReport, the
said sociologistis at leastto be complemented nowfor
aclmitting, however tangentially, that caste
discrimination is a reality, although in his view,
incompatible with tacial discrimination One would
like quickly to offer the hypothesis that biology, in
important Ways that affect the lives ofmaey millions,
sinitselfperhaps a social construction. But let us look
at the matter inanother way. Ifit is agreed -as per the
position today at which anthropological and allied
scientific determinations rest -that the entire tace of
homo sapiens derived from an originally blackAfrican
female (called 'Eve') then one is hard put to
understand how, on some subsequent ground,
ontological distinctions are to be dtawn eitherbetween
taces or castes. Let us also underline the clistinction
between the supposition that we are all God's children
and the rather more subslantiated argument about our
descent from "Eve", lest both positions are thought to
be equally cliversionazy. Itthen stands to reasonthat all
subsequent clistinctions are, in modern parlance,
'constructed' ones, and, like all ideological
constructions, attributable to changing equations
between knowledge and power among human
commwlities through contested histories here, there,
and elsewhere.

In modern scientific story, light was created not once
but twice. The first timewas inthe BigBang, whenthe
universe began its existence as a glowing, expancling.
fireball, which cooled off into darkness after a few
million years. The second time was hundreds of
millions of year later, when the cold material
condensed into dense nuggets under the influence of
gravity, andignited to become the first stars.
Sir Martin Rees, Britain's astronomer royal,
named the long interval between these two
enlightenments the cosmic "Datil: Age'. The name

10. describes not only the poorly lit conditions, but also
the ignotance of astronomers about that period.
Nobody knows exactly when the first stars formed, or
how they organised themselves into galaxies or even
whether stars were the first luminous objects. They
may have been preceded by quasars, which are
reysterious, bright spots found at the centres of some
ｾｬ｡ｸｩ･ｳＮ＠ Now, two independent groups of
astronomers, one led by Robert Becker of the
University of California, and the other by George
Djorgovski of Caltech, claim to have peered far
enough into space with their telescopes (and therefore
backwards enough intime) to observe the closing days
ofthe DarkAge.
The main problem that plagued previous efforts to
study the Dark Age was not the lack of suitable
telescopes, but rather the lack of suitable things at
which to point them Because these events took place
over 13 billion years ago, if astronomers are to have
any hope ofuntavelling them they must study objects
that are at least 13 billion light years away. The best
prospects are quasars, because they are so bright and
compact that they can be seen across vast stretches of
space. The energy source that powers a quasar is
unkno'W!l, although it is suspected to be the intense
gtavity ofa giant blackhole. However, atthe distances
required for the study of Dark Age, even quasars are
extremelyrareand funt.
Recently some members ofDr. Becker's team
announced their discovery of the four most dis

The fog prolongedthe period of clarlmess until
the heat from the first stars and quasars hadthe chance
to ionise the hydrogen (breaking it into its constituent
parts, protons and electrons). Ionised hydrogen is
ttansparent to ulttaviolet radiation, so at that moment
the fog lifted and the universe became the ｾｬｬＭｬｩｴ＠
place it is today. For this reason, the end of the Dark
Age is called the "Epoch of Re-ionisation", because
the ultraviolet shadow is visible only in the most
distant of the four quasars. Dr. Becker's team

concluded that the fog had dissipated completely by
the time the universe was about 900 million years old,
and one-seventh ofits current size.

PASSAGE-V
Studies of the !actors governing reading development
in young children have achieved a rernarilable degree
of consensus over the past two decades. This
consensus concerns the causal role of phonological
skills in young children's reading progress. Children
IMlo have good phonological skills, or good
"phonological awareness", become good readers and
good spellers. Children with poor phonological skills
progress more poorly. In particular, those who have a
specific phonological deficit are likely to be classified
as dyslexic bythetimethat they are 9 or I0 years old.
Phonological skills in young children can be
measured at a number of different levels. The term
phonological awareness is a global one, and refers to a
deficit in recognising smaller units of sound within
spoken words. Development work has sho'Wil that this

11. deficit can be at the level of syllables. Of onsets and
rimes, or ofphonemes. For example, a 4-year old child 70. The single-syllable words Reyme and Rime
