Q.1 Read the Passage carefully and answer the questions given below.  (12)

Nationalism, of course is a curious phenomenon which at a certain stage in a country’s history gives life, growth, strength and unity, but at the same time it has tendency to limit one, because one thinks of one’s own country as something different from the rest of the world. The perspective changes and one is continuously thinking of one’s own struggles and virtues and failings to the exclusion of other thoughts, The result is that the same nationalism, which is the symbol of growth for people becomes a symbol of the cessation of that growth in the mind Nationalism, when it becomes successful, sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive way and becomes a danger internatonally. Whatever line of thought you follow, you arrive at the conclusion that some kind of balance must be found, otherwise something that was good can turn into evil. Culture, which is essentially good, becomes not only static but aggressive and something that breeds conflict and hatred when looked at from a wrong point of view. How you are to find a balance, I do not know. Apart from political and economic problems of the age, perhaps that is the greatest problem today because behind it there is a tremendous conflict in the spirit of man and a tremendous search for something it cannot find. We turn to economic theories because they have an undoubted importance.

It is folly to talk of culture or even of God when human being starve and die Before one can talk about anything else one must provide the normal essentials of life to human beings. That is where they tolerate this suffering and starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not equally shared. Other profit while they only bear the burden.

Q. 2 Read the following passage and answer the questions carefully given below:

“Where there’s a will there’s a way‟ is an old saying. He who resolves upon dong a thing, by that very resolution overcomes the obstacles to it. It is so in all the occupations of life-at school, at college or in the world. To determine to succeed is the surest way to success. Difficulties disappear before an unswerving resolution. This was well exemplified in the life of Napoleon. He threw his whole force of body and mind upon his work. He was told that the Alps stood in the way of his armies. “There shall be no Alps”, he said, and a road was made across them, over heights previously considered inaccessible. “Impossible”, said he, is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools . And so it is; a determination not to give it is the surest condition of success in any undertaking. But the young student must carefully guard himself against the errors of mistaking a mere undisciplined energy and self-will for the needful firmness and self- command on which success depends.

Questions :

  1. Make notes in points, from the above passage, using abbreviations, where necessary. 5
