India got its freedom from the British Rule on 15th August, 1957. Hence we celebrate
our Independence Day on 15th of August every year. There is national holiday on
Independence Day.
We all know that Freedom is not free. It took years of efforts, non-violence and other
movement by our national freedom fighter to attain Freedom.
On 15th of August, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru raised the tri-colour national flag
of India at Red Fort, Delhi. Independence Day is observed with great enthusiasm all
over the country.
The school children take out colourful processions very early in the morning. They
sing the glory of India. The processions end in the Central Park.
There the National Flag is hoisted and the National anthem is sung in chorus.
Everybody takes a new oath to serve the country and to do everything to restore her
lost glory.
The elders remember the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for
independence. They pay homage to the great leaders who suffered a lot to win our
freedom.
Independence Day reminds us of our duty to the country. As the meeting ends with a
song, sweets are distributed among all. Then we go to the slums and distribute food
and clothes among the poor. When we come back home we feel very happy.

Reading Comprehension
Instructions: Read the passage given below.
Then answer the questions given below.

Natural and Man-made Disaster.

In a country, especially a developing country like India, development activities take
place at a fast rate. These lead to displacement of people whose native habitats are
taken over for development.
Alongside the impact on the environment is extremely hazardous. The demands made
on the environment by the growing population do not give nature the time for
replenishment.
Hence ecological imbalances are occurring globally, which are deforestation, global
warming, acid rain and ozone depletion, and which are causing concern to scientists
and environmentalists. Due to its wide geographical variety, India is prone to many
natural disasters like floods, droughts and earthquakes due to environmental
destruction being caused.
A number of such natural and man-made disasters lead to the homelessness and
joblessness of innumerable people.
Natural Causes:
Natural disasters like earthquakes and droughts lead to displacement of people. Such
disasters cause immense damage and leave many helpless. These people need help in
rehabilitation and resettlement. The tsunami that shattered many parts of coastal India
is a recent example of a natural disaster that led to such a displacement.
Man-made Causes:
Man-made causes of displacement include construction of dams, power stations,
industries and sanctuaries. Disaster like the Bhopal Gas Tragedy is an example of
man-made disaster that left thousands of people homeless.

Questions
1) What do natural and man-made disasters lead to?
