6-10. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

Doing an internship at the University of Lille in France, I almost always found myself stuck whenever I had to speak to non-Indians about India or on anything ‘Indian’. This was more because of the subtle differences in the way the French understood India in comparison to what I thought was ‘Indian’. For instance, when I, or any Indian for that matter, say ‘Hindi’ is an Indian language, what it means is that it is one of the languages widely spoken in India. This need not be similar to the understanding that the French would have when they hear of ‘Hindi’ as an Indian language. Because for them Hindi then becomes the only language spoken in India. This is a natural inference that the French, Germans, Italians and many other European nationals would tend to make, because that is generally how it is in their own respective countries.

The risk of such inappropriate generalisations made about ‘Indian’ is not restricted to language alone but also for India’s landscape, cuisine, movies, music, climate, economic development and even political ideologies. Most often I have felt that Indians should be wary when the term ‘Indian’ is so casually used, because of the risk this involves in missing the country’s sheer richness. Imagine hearing a song in .wav format after converting it to .mp3 format. The conversion doesn’t change the song but only its richness.

(A) The conversion doesn’t change the song but only its richness.
