प्रश्न
Would you like to exchange your place with someone else? Why/why not?
उत्तर
Yes, I would like to exchange my place with Donald Trump, the American President. After he won the presidency he has created a cold war between many ethnic minorities and Americans. His policies against emigrants have made him. very unpopular. His stand against Muslims seeking a visa for studies or even Short stay draw a lot of criticism among Americans who believe in liberty, equality, and justice. If I were permitted to swap places with Trump, I will liberate the laws that permit Indian citizens to enter America to pursue post-graduate studies or seek jobs corresponding to their skill sets. I could also liberalise the emigration policy without. hurting the harmonious co-existence of many races.
I would not exchange my position with the RBI Governor. His position now is the most worrisome. On the one hand, the media is persuading the poorest of the poor to do all transactions through Rupay or BHIM App. Middle-class people pay their taxes very honestly. But Business magnets take loans to the tune of 5000 crores and just escape to foreign countries. If the centralized monitoring of nationalized banks is not done effectively, why should the large hardworking middle-class trust nationalized banks: we can’t trust RBI which has failed in restoring, the faith of the common man.

The historical background:
The poem is an extract from William Shakespeare’s play King Richard the Second. The play is based on true events that occurred towards the end of the 14th century.
Richard II was crowned the King of England in the year 1367. He continued to be the British Monarch until 1399, when he was deposed by his cousin, Henry of Bolingbroke, who crowned himself King Henry the Fourth in the same year. Shakespeare’s play is a dramatic rendition of the last two years of King Richard II’s life. In this brief span of time, he was ousted from his royal position and sent to prison, where he died in captivity.
The following extract is set in the Coast of Wales. King Richard and some of his followers awaited the arrival of the Welsh army [after facing defeat at the hands of his cousin, Bolingbroke], of about 10000 warriors. But to their shock and surprise, they received the message that the army was not coming to their rescue. His followers tried to boost their King’s courage against the news, only in vain. When Richard came face to face with the reality of his terrible fate, he spoke the following verse, famously known as the “Hollow Crown” speech in theatrical circles. In it, King Richard is reminded of the power of Death that overshadows everything else, including the power of rulers, and renders them as powerless as any commoner at a moment’s notice.

Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth’’.
