 Passage 1
The manifestations of poor governance are
plainly apparent in India, they are exempliied
by the wasteful use of scarce resources, an
unresponsive administration at its cutting
edges, pervasive corruption at all levels
and, of moment to this discussion, little
policy coherence to address the problems of
national security. These manifestations of
misgovernance include the lack of devolution
and decentralisation of powers, unimaginative
dealing with minorities of all descriptions,
decay of institutions and a ruling elite basically'
interested in self-aggrandisement. Only the
trappings of democracy, therefore, obtain in
the country, not its substance, resulting in a
patrimonial form of governance that relects
the feudal character of its governing classes.
Indeed, the growing crisis of governance in
India is evident from the steady crumbling
of its democratic institutions, the increasing
alienation of its minority' populations from
the state and the nexus that has encrusted
between the corrupt elements in politics,
bureaucracy and business with organised
criminal elements. With the state machinery
for maintenance of law and order becoming
politicised, the citizen’s personal security is
prejudiced; assuring this remains tire state’s
primary duty.
Why have governance and security
deteriorated so rapidly in India over the
years? The systemic answers are a growing
polarisation of society along several divides -
caste, class, community - which has affected
both governance and security adversely. An
externally inspired pattern of development
has conspicuously failed, but has exacerbated
these divides. This has spawned a greater
centralisation of power, though the need of the
times is greater devolution and decentralisation
of administrative and inancial powers to
the periphery for -successfully working
the federal principle in India. All this is
occurring simultaneously with an information
revolution that has enabled the print and
electronic media to reach vast segments
of the population, spurring the associated
revolution of rising expectations, increasing
2
resentments and resultant violence. Above
all, the steady criminalisation of politics and
the politicisation of crime deserve far greater
notice. In a recent conference, police oficers
spoke of their trauma in having to salute and
provide guards of honour for ministers with
criminal records. More disconcertingly, the
nexus between, station house oficers and
politicians ensures that these basic units
of police administration are not under the
control of the Superintendents of Police in the
districts. The criminalisation of politics has
thus eroded the systemic capacity of the state
to maintain law and or order permitted the
entry of organised crime into its governance
processes. Naturally, this corrodes the ability
of the state to provide security, but creates a
milieu propitious for low intensity conlict and
high intensity crime.
Two issues need immediate redress if this
dismal state of affairs is not to deteriorate
further. First, a greater understanding needs
promooon that India's essential genius lies
in its tradition of tolerance, recognising
multiculturalism as an operating principle of
governance, which provides the context for
a greater sharing of state authority with the
people. Second, the compulsions of coalition
an divisive politics wear away political
will, lagging the need for some minimum
consensus being sought by political parties on
recognising the national interests. Addressing
the reform of the deeply lawed electoral
inancing process is urgent, around which
this consensus could be garnered.
1. According to the passage,
criminalisation of politics has not
resulted into which one of the
following?
(a) severity of crime
(b) deteriorating law and order situation
(c) dilution of the value of democracy
(d) exposure to insecurity
2. What could be the most appropriate
similar meaning to ‘redress’ as it has
been used in the passage?
(a) solution (b) notice
(c) attention (d) discussion

Passage 4
Among the natural resources which
can be called upon in national plans for
development, possibly the most important is
human labour. Since the English language
suffers from a certain weakness in its ability
to describe groups composed of both male and
female members, this is usually described as
“manpower”.
10
Without a productive labour force, including
effective leadership and intelligent middle
management, no amount of foreign assistance
or of natural wealth can ensure successful
development and modernization.
The manpower for development during
the next quarter-century will come from
the world’s present population of infants,
children and adolescents. But we are not sure
that they will be equal to the task. Will they
have the health, the education, the skills,
the socio-cultural attitudes essential for the
responsibilities or development?
For far too many of them the answer is ‘no’.
The reason is basic. A child’s most critical
years, with regard to physical, intellectual,
social and emotional development, are those
before he reaches ive years of age. During
those critical formative years he is cared for
almost exclusively by his mother, and in
many parts of the world the mother may not
have the capacity to raise a superior child.
She is incapable of doing so by reason of Iter
own poor health, her ignorance and her lack
of status and recognition of social and legal
rights, of economic parity, of independence.
One essential factor has been overlooked
or ignored. The forgotten factor is the role of
women. Development will be handicapped as
long as women remain second class citizens,
uneducated, without any voice in family
or community decisions, without legal or
economic status, married when they are still
practically children, and henceforth producing
one baby after another, often only to see half
of them die before they are of school age.
We can enhance development by improving
“women power”, by giving women the
opportunity to develop themselves. Statistics
show that the average family size increases
in inverse ratio to the mother’s years of
education, is lowest among college graduates,
highest among those with only primary school
training, or no education. Malnutrition is
most frequent in large families, and increases
in frequency with each additional sibling.
The principle seems established that an
educated mother has healthier and more
intelligent children, and that this is related
to the fact that she has fewer children. The
tendency of educated, upper-class mothers
to have fewer children operates even without
access to contraceptive services.

 The educational level of women is signiicant
also because it has a direct inluence upon
their chances of employment; and the number
of employed women in a country’s total
labour force has a direct bearing on both the
Gross National Product and the disposable
income of the individual family. Disposable
income, especially in the hands of women,
inluences food purchasing and therefore
the nutritional status of the family. The fact
that this additional income derives from the
paid employment of women provides a logical
incentive to restrict the size of the family.

(c) the world’s present population of
infants, children and adolescents
may not be equal to the task
(d) the world’s present population of

cultural attitudes essential for the
responsibilities of development
(b) a child s most critical years with
regard to physical, intellectual, social
and emotional development are those
before he reaches five years of age
(c) development will be handicapped as
long as women remain second class
citizens
(d) in the advanced countries of the world
women are regarded as first class-
citizens but in developing countries
they are third-class citizens

32. Which of the following statements
regarding woman is not implied in the
passage?
(a) half the children bom to a not-fully-

(b) now the society is giving her due
recognition

ignorant of it
(d) her educational wealth shall be
effectively instrumental in controlling
population
33. Women employment shall result into
all except one; which one is it?

Passage 5
Martin Luther King, Jr. is well known for his
work in civil rights and for his many famous
speeches among them his moving "I Have A
Dream" speech. But fewer people know much
about King's childhood M.L., as he was called,
was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the
home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.'s
grandfather, the Reverend A.D. Williams
purchased their home on Auburn Avenue
in 1909, twenty years before M.L. was born.
The Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker,
played an important role in the community
since so many people's lives centered around
the church. He allowed his church and his
home to be used as a community-gathering
place, and was no doubt inluenced by it.
M.L.'s childhood was not especially
eventually eventful. His father was a minister
and his mother was a musician. He was the
second of three children, and he attended
all-black schools in a black neighbourhood.
The neighborhood was not poor, however,
Auburn Avenue was the main artery through
a prosperous neighborhood that had come
to symbolize achievement for Atlanta's black
people. It was an area of banks insurance
companies, builders, jewelers, tailors,
doctors, lawyers, and other black-owned
or black operated businesses and services.
Even in the time of Atlanta's segregation,
the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the
community spirit he had known as a child nor
did he forget the racial prejudice that was a
seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept
black Atlanta's from mingling with whites.

Passage - 6
Once upon a time, there was a rich merchant
who had four wives. He loved the fourth wife
the most and adorned her with rich robes and
treated her to delicacies. He took great care of
her and gave her nothing but the best. He also
loved the third wife very much. He was very
proud of her and always wanted to show her
off to his friends. However, the merchant was
always in great fear that she might run away
with some other men. He loved his second
wife too. She was a very considerate person
always patient and in fact was the merchants
conidante. Whenever the merchant faced
some problems, he always turned to his second
wife and she would always help him out and
tide him through dificult times. Now, the
merchant’s irst wife was a very loyal partner
and had made contributions in maintaining
his wealth and business as well as taken care
the household. However, the merchant did
not love the irst wife and although she loved
him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
18
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long,
he knew that he was going to die soon. He
thought of his luxurious life and told himself,
“Now I have four wives with me. But when I die,
I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be!” Thus, he asked
the fourth wife, “I loved you most, endowed you
with the inest clothing and showered great
care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you
follow me and keep me company?” “No way!”
replied the fourth wife and she walked away
without another word. The answer cut like a
sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart.
The sad merchant then asked the third wife,
“I have loved you so much for all my life. Now
that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me
company?” “No!” replied the third wife “Life is
so good over here! I’m going to remarry when
you die!” The merchant’s heart sank and
turned cold. He then asked the second wife,
“I always turned to you for help and you’ve
always helped me out. Now I need your help
again. When I die, will you follow me and keep
me company?” “I’m sorry, I can’t help you out
this time!” replied the second wife. “At the very
most, I can only send you to your grave.” The
answer came like a bolt of thunder and the
merchant was devastated Then a voice called
out, “I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter
where you go.” The merchant looked up and
there was his irst wife. She was so skinny,
almost like she suffered from malnutrition.
Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should
have taken much better care of you while I
could have!”
Actually, we all have four wives in our lives.
The fourth wife is our body. No matter how
much time and effort we lavish in making it
look good, it’ll leave us when we die Our third
wife is our possessions, status and wealth.
When we die, they all go to others The second
wife is our family and friends. No matter how
close they had been to us when we’re alive,
the furthest they can stay by us is up to the
grave. The irst wife is in fact our soul, often
neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth
and sensual pleasure. It is actually the only
thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps
it’s a good idea to cultivate and strengthen
it now rather than to wait until we’re on our
deathbed to lament

Passage 7
Even-minded endurance is called titiksha
in Sanskrit. I have practised this mental
neutrality. I have sat and meditated all night
long in icy water in bitterly cold weather.
Similarly, I have sat from morning till evening
on the burning hot sands in India. I gained
great mental strength by doing so. When
you have practised such self-discipline, your
mind becomes impervious to all disturbing
circumstances. If you think you can’t do
something, your mind is a slave. Free yourself.
I don’t mean that you should be rash.
Try to rise above disturbances gradually.
Endurance is what you must have. Whatever
may be your trouble, make a supreme effort
to remedy it without worry; and until it is
resolved, practise titiksha. Isn’t this practical
wisdom? If you are young and strong, then as
you gradually strengthen your will and mind
you can practise more rigid methods of self-
discipline, as I did.
If you are thinking that cold weather is
coming and you are bound to catch a cold,
you are not developing mental strength. You
have already committed yourself to certain
weakness. When you feel you are susceptible
to catching a cold, mentally resist it. This is the
right mental attitude. In your heart, sincerely
do your best at all times, but without anxiety.
Worry only paralyses your efforts. If you do
20
your best, God will reach down his hand to
help you.
If you do not acknowledge weakness in the
face of troubles, and if you refuse to worry
about your problems, you will ind out how
much more successful, peaceful and happy
you are. Daily make this afirmation. “I will
be neither lazy nor feverishly active. In every
challenge of life I shall do my best without
worry about the future.”
Don’t grieve for what you don’t have. The
most materially successful man may have the
greatest worries and unhappiness. In contrast,
I have seen, in humble little huts and caves
in India, men who were true monarchs. The
earthy “throne” of one such saint was a dried
grass mat. He wore only a little loincloth. Such
are the real kings of the Earth. Some of them
have no food, nothing at all; they are richer
than the world’s millionaires. In biting cold
weather, I saw one saint in the Himalayas who
had nothing on. “Won’t you catch a cold?” I
said. Sweetly he answered, “If I am warm with
God's love, how can I feel the cold?” Saints
like him are greater than any crowned king.
If without food, without any visible means of
security, such men can be like kings, peaceful
and without worry, why can’t you?
58. What according to the passage will
make you happy and successful?
(a) Not arguing over what you don’t
have.
(b) Not being too rash in behaviour.
(c) Not worrying too much about other
people’s problems.
(d) Not allowing your mind to withdraw
in a shell
59. Which of the following is not true in
the context of the passage?
(a) The mind can be strengthened
gradually to practice rigid methods
of self-discipline.
(b) One should not acknowledge
weakness in the face of troubles.
(c) Material possessions do not
necessarily make one happy.
(d) Constantly brooding over what
you don’t have will motivate you to
achieve it.
