Read the passage carefully and answer the following question given below.
Prior to years ago, only certain men had the vote. Through a very long campaign, begun in the early century, women over and who owned property were finally given the right to have their voices heard and stand for government. It wasn’t until a decade later, however, that the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act granted every citizen of this country the right to vote and have a say in how we are governed, who we are and what we stand for as a country.
Multiple suffrage societies formed across the country during the Victorian era, all fighting in different ways to convince the government that women deserved the right to vote. In a new society emerged that has dominated our history and understanding of the women’s movement in the UK: the WSPU, or Women’s Social and Political Movement, heading by the enigmatic Pankhurst family. Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Christabel, Sylvia and Adela, are well-known names in our suffrage history. But their choice to turn to violent and extreme actions, what we would define today as terrorism, is something that is rarely acknowledged. The Pankhursts passionately believed that deeds, not words, would be the only thing to convince the government to give them the vote. After decades of peaceful protest, the WSPU recognised that something far more drastic was needed to get the government to listen to those who were campaigning for women’s rights. While we are probably familiar with tactics such as window smashing, what was the real scale of suffragette violence and militancy?
'If men use explosives and bombs for their own purpose they call it war,’ wrote Christabel Pankhurst in ‘and the throwing of a bomb that destroys other people is then described as a glorious and heroic deed. Why should a woman not make use of the same weapons as men. It is not only war we have declared. We are fighting for a revolution!’
Christabel’s new tactics oversaw a nationwide bombing and arson campaign that the newspapers quickly dubbed the ‘Suffragette Outrages’. One of the earliest recordings of this term is found in the Morpeth Herald on November , when a suffragette attacked a young Winston Churchill with a horse whip on the platform of Bristol railway station. In the same month, Selina Martin and Lesley Hall disguised themselves as orange sellers and, armed with a catapult and missiles, attacked Prime Minster Asquith’s car in Liverpool.The following year in Battersea, a clerk suffered burns as he attempted to stop a suffragette from throwing a liquid over the papers of a Member of Parliament – one of the first recorded instances of a suffragette causing physical harm to a member of the public.Risk or injury to the public has been vehemently denied by many suffragette historians, as well as by the suffragettes themselves, but the newspapers (and even the accounts of the militant suffragettes) prove that there were numerous instances where injuries occurred, and that personal risk, or even death, was great.
One of the most dangerous suffragette attacks occurred in Dublin in .Mary Leigh, Gladys Evans, Lizzie Baker and Mabel Capper attempted to set fire to the Theatre Royal during a packed lunchtime matinee attended by Asquith. They left a canister of gunpowder close to the stage and threw petrol and lit matches into the projection booth which contained highly combustible film reels. Earlier in the day, Mary Leigh had hurled a hatchet towards Asquith, which narrowly missed him and instead cut the Irish MP John Redmond on the ear.
proved to be an escalation point in the violence of the militant suffragettes. Glasgow Art Gallery has its glass cases smashed; bank and post office windows were smashed from Kew to Gateshead; in September, trunk telegraph wires were cut on the London road at Potters Bar; and on November simultaneous attacks on post boxes occurred across the entire country. By the end of year, people had been sent to prison for militant suffragette activities. Once in prison, these inmates were often subjected to the torture of force-feeding at the hands of the prison authorities – actions which only further radicalised them and increased their commitment to the militant campaign on their release.
The newspapers soon began to carry weekly round-ups of the attacks, and reports of suffragette violence are evident across the country, with papers like the Gloucester Journal and Liverpool Echo running dedicated columns on the latest outrages. During , a suffragette attacked the glass cabinets in the Jewel House at the Tower of London, while in Dundee, in Scotland, four postmen were severely injured by phosphorus chemicals left in post boxes. In Dumbarton telegraph wires were cut; Kew Gardens orchid house was attacked, and its teahouse burnt down. In Ilford, three streets had their fire alarm wires destroyed and in Saunderton the railway station was destroyed, with placards entitled ‘Votes for Women’ and ‘Burning For the Vote’ left among the debris.Croxley Station near Watford also suffered a similar fate, although the attack was initially not attributed to the militants until a suffragette newspaper was delivered to the Station Master with a scribbled inscription, ‘Afraid copy left got burnt'.
In the destruction of homes, pavilions and churches continued, with the year containing some of the most well-known attacks on works of art, as Mary Richardson slashed the Rokeby Venus in the National Gallery in London. The capital city saw a wave of cultural violence: the British Museum had mummy cases smashed, and bombs were discovered in St Paul’s and the Metropolitan Tabernacle, where a postcard was left bearing the words, ‘Put your religion into practice and give the women freedom.’ After the outbreak of World War One, however, the WSPU suspended their militant campaign.
What can be understood from the phrase 'deeds, not words...' in the passage?

Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows:
Judiciary has become the centre of controversy, in the recent past, on account of the sudden 'Me' in the level of judicial intervention. The area of judicial intervention has been steadily expanding through the device of public interest litigation. The judiciary has shed its pro-status-quo approach and taken upon itself the duty to enforce the basic rights of the poor and vulnerable sections of society, by progressive interpretation and positive action. The Supreme Court has developed new methods of dispensing justice to the masses through public interest litigation. Former Chief Justice P. N. Bhagwati, under whose leadership public interest litigation attained a new dimension comments that "the Supreme Court has developed several new commitments. It has carried forward participative justice".

The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organise production and marketing, rather than their achievements in original research. The British are generally recognised as a far more inventive collection of individuals, but never seem able to exploit what they invent. There are many examples, from the TSR 2 hovercraft, high speed train and Sinclair scooter to the Triumph, BSA and Norton motorbikes, which all prove this sad rule. The Japanese were able to exploit their strengths in marketing and development many years ago, and their success was at first either not understood in the west or was dismissed as something which could only have been produced at their low price, so far from where they were sold, because they were cheap copies of other peoples' ideas churned out by a work-house which was dedicated to hard grind above all else.
