SECTION V - Q.3.c) Precis or speech (06 marks)

1. Q15 Make a precise of the following in about 50 words and give a suitable title for the same. Vandalism represents the behavior characteristics of a person who willfully destroys works of art, spoils the beauties of nature and destructs the public property. Now-a-days, it has become very common to deliberately mass destroy and destruct public property whenever an agitation starts. If you visit the places of historical importance, you will find that the wall are often stained with betel-leaf juice or otherwise defaced with scratches or ugly marks. If you travel by buses or trains, you will find that seats are often ripped open and the forms pulled out, names scratched on the back of seats etc. All these are signs of vandalism. Vandalism is not exclusive to India. It is a universal phenomenon. The people who have utter disregard for public property do all this - people who do not and cannot identify themselves with either the society or the nation. They do not have a sense of belonging or loyalty towards their society. It can also be the expression of frustration by some people who, in their way, show their hatred for the society and its value. In some cases it could be for drawing attention to themselves or just the desire to see their names permanently written in a prominent place. One thing is clear that such people are anti-social and uncultured citizens.
