PASSAGE-1A debate over agrarian policy is by no means

unique to India or the present period. Its originsgo back to the advent of classical politicaleconomy. According to several economists,consolidation of farm land was one of the keydrivers of increased agricultural productivity inEngland. Notwithstanding debate on whether ornot this increase merited an agriculturalrevolution, it is a fact that the dispossessionprovided footloose labour for England’s industrialrevolution. Struggles against the corn laws in 17th

century England, when workers came onto thestreets demanding the removal of tariffs onimport of corn, is another such example. Cornlaws had their advocates in domestic landlordswho stood to lose from cheaper imports.

During the colonial period, agriculturebecame an important instrument for plunder ofcolonies. Famines became commonplace, fromlreland, England’s first colony, to India, its largest.The terror of land tax, or lagan, has found

expression beyond the realm of economics. It isno wonder that farmers were an importantconstituent of the freedom struggle in India. Theiraspirations, undoubtedly, were of improvementin living standards and quality of life. Suchaspirations have not fully materialized inindependent India. Although farm incomes haverisen in absolute terms, the sector has laggedbehind the rest of the economy. The ratio ofagriculture’s share in national output to its sharein employment fell from 0.52 in 1980 to 0.33 in2010, indicating that the relative income shareof households dependent on agriculture has beendeclining over the past three decades. The biggestfall in the ratio was during 1990-2000. Althoughthis ratio had increased slightly to 0.34 in 2013,plummeting growth rates in agriculture mightjeopardize the recovery.

While the past decade has seen animprovement in rural fortunes, it has not beenenough to bridge India’s rural-urban divide. Yet,urban incomes grew faster, and the differencebetween rural and urban consumption increasedslightly over this period. Thus, despite rising ruralincomes and failing rural poverty,disenchantment with farming has only grown inthe countryside.191. According to the passage, what did the

farmers aspire most during the colonialperiod?(i) Improved living standards(ii) To become an important constituent of

the freedom struggle in India(iii) Improved quality of life(iv) Removal of tariffs on import of corn(A) Both (ii) and (iii) (B) Only (i)(C) Both (i) and (iii) (D) Only (iv)

192. Why does the writer claim that the farmers’aspirations during the colonial period havenot materialized even in independentIndia?(A) Because there have been struggles

against government’s agriculture policies.(B) Because the agriculture sector has

lagged behind the rest of the economyin spite of rise in farm incomes.

(C) Because agriculture became animportant instrument for plunder ofcolonies.

(D) Because erratic weather had ruined allthe aspirations of farmers.

22

==================================================================================


193. According to the passage, what can be saidtrue in context of the ratio of agriculture’sshare in the national output to its share inemployment?(A) that the biggest fall in the ratio was

during the years 1991-2001.(B) that the ratio fell from 0.52 in 1980 to

0.34 in 2010.(C) that the ratio increased slightly in 2013.(D) that the ratio remained unchanged for

given years.194. According to the passage, rising rural

incomes and falling rural poverty have failedto(A) minimize the difference b/w rural and

urban consumption(B) widen the gap b/w rural and urban

savings(C) encourage people to take up farming as

an occupation(D) revive country’s overall growth

195. Why did the workers come onto streets in17th century England?(A) Because they wanted the imposition of

tarrifs on import of corn(B) Because they wanted an improvement

in their living standards and quality oflife

(C) Because they were demanding theremoval of tarrifs on export of corn

(D) Because they were demanding theremoval of tarrifs on import of corn.

PASSAGE – 2The great Acharyas have said that having

discovered a great goal, surrender yourself to thatgoal and act towards it, drawing your inspirationfrom that goal, whereby you will get a new columnof energy. Do not allow this energy to be dissipatedin the futile memories of past regrets of failure,or in the excitement of the present, and thusbring that entire energy focused into activity.That is the highest creative action in the worldoutside. Thereby, the individual who is till nowconsidered most inefficient finds his way to thehighest achievement and success.

This is said very easily in a second. But inorder to change the mind to this attitude we needconsiderable training because we have alreadytrained the mind wrongly to such an extent thatwe have become perfect in imperfections. Notknowing the art of action, we have been masterartists in doing the wrong thing. The totality ofactivity will bring the country to a wrong end,indeed.

If each one is given a car, to achieve anideal socialistic pattern, and nobody knowsdriving but everybody starts driving, what wouldbe the condition on the road?
