Subject : English


Section – A

A1- Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :

1. Again I am writing to you from prison after many years. I came here with the new moon

and it is five days old now. The slender crescent has put on more substance and nightly it

grows fuller. I was arrested the day after Diwali and brought here from Allahabad. The

next day after my arrival was Id, the great Muslim festival ending the Ramzan fast. So in

feasting and rejoicing I came here or was brought here. My trial lasted two days and today

I was sentenced. There were three counts – on three speeches I had delivered a month ago

in Gorakhpur district and on each charge I was sentenced to a year and four month‟s

rigorous imprisonment, each sentence to run consecutively, that is four years in all. That is

the biggest sentence I have so far had in my longish experience.

2. Four years seem a long time to look to. And yet in this world of shock and change, it

makes little difference what period is fixed for a sentence. For my part I might as well be

here as elsewhere. For last five days my tired mind and body have been clamouring for

rest and I have slept more than I have done for many months. The mind has not been so

restful. It is a way ward creature and not easy to control. Soon, I suppose, it will get into

tune with my surroundings.

3. And now about you, my darling one. My arrest and sentence must not make the least bit of

difference to what you intend doing. Do not worry in the slightest. I have deliberately

chosen my path, well knowing the consequences, and have trained myself to it. Age creeps

upon me but I am young enough still in mind and body and hardened to most occurrences.

It would distress me greatly if I felt that the things that happen to me upset any plans that

you make for yourself. I cannot help you much in making of these plans and indeed this is

not necessary. You are well enough I hope now and will be quite fit soon.

4. To a large extent circumstances and world happenings control our lives today. You are tied

up in Switzerland and cannot easily get away. The barriers that confine me are much

narrower. We shall put up with these temporary impediments and mishaps without being

affected by them too much. Anyway, my life is on the wane. Yours is to come. Each

generation has to solve its own problems. For a passing generation to impose itself on a

new one is bad. Yet we are always doing it, consciously sometimes unconsciously most of

the time. I have no doubt that I do it. And yet I do not want to and I would like you to help

me in this. I have learnt from experience that I am not wise enough to advise others. I find

difficulty in deciding many questions for myself, how can I decide for others, even though

they are dear to me ?

5. In the solitude of prison I shall think of you a great deal. I shall sit here wrapped up in my

thoughts and you will be a constant companion bringing joy and solace to me. I shall not

be really lonely, and the years and months that I pass here will perhaps bring peace to my

mind. I shall make friends again with the stars and watch the moon wax and wane and see

the pageant of the world, with all its beauty and horror, as an onlooker from a distant place

or a different world. I have worked hard during most of my life but I have worked as I

wanted to, and life, in spite of many hard knocks, has been gracious to me. I suppose I

have hard work still to do. There are no ways of escape from it. But at present I feel

somewhat weary in mind. When I feel this way, I seek refuge in poetry and classics.

6. The safest address for you to write to me will continue to be Anand Bhawan, though I do

not know what will happen to Anand Bhawan in the months to come.

A1.1- Answer the following questions : (7)

a) Why was Nehru imprisoned ?

d) How did Nehru review life as ?

e) What was the importance of poetry and classics for Nehru doing his days of

f) Find the words in the paragraph which means.

A2- Read the following passage carefully :

The form of government in which political power rests with the people is known as

democracy. Abraham Lincoln, a former President of the United States, gave a brief and

clear definition of this form of government. According to him “Democracy is the

government of the people, by the people and for the people.” According to Prof.

Puntambekar, Democracy is that government in which power of the state is exercised by

the elected representatives of the people and they enjoy support of the majority. Similarly,

on the basis of definations given by Dicey and many other scholars it can be easily said

that democracy as a form of government is a system in which people govern themselves

either directly, or indirectly through their representatives, in the interest of the entire

country. The government is not an end in itself but it is a means for the social good.

Many political scientists use the term „democracy‟ not only as a form of government,

but also as a kind of state. Democracy, as a kind of state implies such a state in which the

supreme political power rests with the people. This power is used by the people while

determining their form of government and while electing their representatives. Thus

people are ultimate decision makers in all political matters. In this respect democracy is

considered to be a type of state. In other words, a democratic state allows people to freely

set up their political institutions. If they do not function properly and effectively, they can

be modified or replaced by the people.

There are scholars who would not like to limit democracy only to the form of

government, kind of state and political aspects of the individual. They consider it to be a

form of society which is based on social equality, liberty of the individual and fraternity,

thus extending the scope of democracy to various aspects of the life of the individual.

Real democracy is not possible in a country so long as the people do not accept

democracy as a faith and as a way of life. A successful democracy ensures democratic

conduct and behavior by individuals. As a matter of fact, democracy is a philosophy for all

round development of the personality of the man. Democracy as a way of life promotes

social attitudes based on cooperation, understanding and respect for the fellow human

beings.

The above discussion shows that democracy has become the most important guide of

mankind today. Democracy is not only the aim of political way of life but also of

economic and social life. The man has always been debating the utility of various forms of

government. Which form of government is best has been the subject of discussion among

scholars and researchers for a long time. At times monarchy and aristocracy were also

considered good governments. But, in the contemporary thinking no other government is

considered as good as democracy. Democracy believes in liberty and equality as the

objectives of civilized life.
