Read the following extract and answer the following questions:
The make-up room had the look of a hair-cutting salon with lights at
all angles around half a dozen large mirrors. They were all
incandescent lights, so you can imagine the fiery misery of those
subjected to make-up. The make-up department was first headed by
a Bengali who became too big for a studio and left. He was succeeded
by a Maharashtrian who was assisted by a Dharwar Kannadiga, an
Andhra, a Madras Indian Christian, an Anglo-Burmese and the
usual local Tamils. All this shows that there was a great deal of
national integration long before A.I.R. and Doordarshan began
broadcasting programmes on national integration. This gang of
nationally integrated make-up men could turn any decent-looking
person into a hideous crimson hued monster with the help of truck-
loads of pancake and a number of other locally made potions and
lotions.
