Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions that

follow :

A tiger-like husband

This is a summary of a story from the Adi Parvan of the Mahabharata :

The Pandavas had fled into the forest. They were tired and

fell asleep; only Bhima, the second Pandava, renowned for

his prowess, was keeping watch. A man-eating rakshasa

caught the scent of the Pandavas and sent his sister

Hidimba to capture them. She fell in love with Bhima,

transformed herself into a lovely maiden and proposed to

him. He refused. Meanwhile, the rakshasa arrived and

challenged Bhima to a wrestling match. Bhima accepted

the challenge and killed him. The others woke up hearing

the noise. Hidimba introduced herself, and declared her

love for Bhima. She told Kunti : ‘‘I have forsaken my

friends, my dharma and my kin; and good lady, chosen

your tiger-like son for my man ... whether you think me a

fool, or your devoted servant, let me join you, great lady,

with your son as my husband.’’

61/2/1 8

Ultimately, Yudhisthira agreed to the marriage on the

condition that they would spend the day together but that

Bhima would return every night. The couple roamed all

over the world during the day. In due course Hidimba gave

birth to a rakshasa boy named Ghatotkacha. Then the

mother and son left the Pandavas. Ghatotkacha promised

to return to the Pandavas whenever they needed him.

Some historians suggest that term rakshasa is used to

describe people whose practices differed from those laid

down in the Brahmanical texts.

(15.1) Why were Hidimba’s social practices not influenced by the

Brahmanical ideas ?

(15.2) Why was Hidimba’s clan considered as uncivilised in the

Sanskrit text ?

(15.3) How was the philosophy of dharamsutras about the endogamy

not applied in the story ?

Read the following extract carefully and answer the questions that

follow :

The system of varnas

This is Al-Biruni’s account of the system of varnas :

The highest caste are the Brahmana, of whom the books of

the Hindus tell us that they were created from the head of

Brahman. And as the Brahman is only another name for

the force called nature, and the head is the highest part of

the ... body, the Brahmana are the choice part of the whole

genus. Therefore the Hindus consider them as the very

best of mankind.

61/2/1 10

The next caste are the Kshatriya, who were created, as

they say, from the shoulders and hands of Brahman. Their

degree is not much below that of the Brahmana.

After them follow the Vaishya, who were created from the

thigh of Brahman.

The Shudra, who were created from his feet ...

Between the latter two classes there is no very great

distance. Much, however, as these classes differ from each

other, they live together in the same towns and villages,

mixed together in the same houses and lodgings.

(16.1) What gave Brahmanas their superior status ?

(16.2) How did Al-Biruni disapprove the ‘notion of pollution’ ?

(16.3) Who lived together, yet segregated ? What impact did they have

on the society ?

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions that

follow :

‘‘The real minorities are the masses of this country’’

Welcoming the Objectives Resolution introduced by Jawaharlal Nehru,

N.G. Ranga said :

Sir, there is a lot of talk about minorities. Who are the real

minorities ? Not the Hindus in the so-called Pakistan

provinces, not the Sikhs, not even the Muslims. No, the real

minorities are the masses of this country. These people are

61/2/1 12

so depressed and oppressed and suppressed till now that

they are not able to take advantage of the ordinary civil

rights. What is the position ? You go to the tribal areas.

According to law, their own traditional law, their tribal law,

their lands cannot be alienated. Yet our merchants go

there, and in the so-called free market they are able to

snatch their lands. Thus, even though the law goes against

this snatching away of their lands, still the merchants are

able to turn the tribal people into veritable slaves by

various kinds of bonds, and make them hereditary

bond-slaves. Let us go to the ordinary villagers. There goes

the money-lender with his money and he is able to get the

villagers in his pocket. There is the landlord himself, the

zamindar, and the malguzar and there are the various

other people who are able to exploit these poor villagers.

There is no elementary education even among these people.

These are the real minorities that need protection and

assurances of protection. In order to give them the

necessary protection, we will need much more than this

Resolution ....

CAD, VOL. II

(17.1) On which aspect did N.G. Ranga draw attention ?

(17.2) What type of problems did the ordinary villagers face ?

(17.3) What kind of protection was needed for the real minorities ?
