Read the following passage carefully and answer questions
56 to 60 : Traditional Indian Values must be viewed both from the angle of the
individual and from that of the geographically delimited agglomeration of
peoples or groups enjoying a common system of leadership which we call the
‘State’. The Indian ‘State’s’ special feature is the peaceful, or perhaps
mostly peaceful, co-existence of social groups of various historical
provenances which mutually adhere in a geographical, economic, and political
sense, without ever assimilating to each other in social terms, in ways of
thinking, or even in language. Modern Indian law will determine certain rules,
especially in relation to the regime of the family, upon the basis of how the
loin-cloth is tied, or how the turban is worn, for this may identify the
litigants as members of a regional group, and therefore as participants in its
traditional law, though their ancestors left the region three or four centuries
earlier. The use of the word ‘State’ above must not mislead us. There was no
such thing as a conflict between the individual and the State, atleast before
foreign governments became established, just as there was no concept of state
‘sovereignty’ or of any church-and-state dichotomy. Modern Indian ‘secularism’
has an admittedly peculiar feature : It requires the state to make a fair
distribution of attention and support amongst all religions. These blessed
aspects of India’s famed tolerance (Indian kings so rarely persecuted religious
groups that the exceptions prove the rule) at once struck Portuguese and other
European visitors to the West Coast of India in the sixteenth century, and the
impression made upon them in this and other ways gave rise, at one remove, to
the basic constitution of Thomas More’s Utopia. There is little about modern
India that strikes one at once as Utopian : but the insistence upon the
inculcation of norms, and the absence of bigotry and institutionalized
exploitation of human or natural resources, are two very different features
which link the realities of India and her tradition with the essence of all
Utopians.
56. Which of the following is a special feature of the
Indian State ?
(A) Peaceful co-existence of people under a common system
of leadership
(B) Peaceful co-existence of social groups of different
historical provenances attached to each other in a geographical, economic and
political sense (C) Social integration of all groups (D) Cultural assimilation
of all social groups.
ANS. (B) Peaceful co-existence of social groups of
different historical provenances attached to each other in a geographical,
economic and political sense
57. The author uses the word ‘State’ to highlight (A)
Antagonistic relationship between the state and the individual throughout the
period of history. (B) Absence of conflict between the state and the
individuals upto a point in time. (C) The concept of state sovereignty. (D)
Dependence on religion.
ANS. (D) Dependence on religion
58. Which one is the peculiar feature of modern Indian
‘Secularism’ ?
(A) No discrimination on religious considerations (B)
Total indifference to religion (C) No space for social identity (D) Disregard
for social law
