Instructions (1 to 10): Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions that follow.
The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political
freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity
and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished
part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of
political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one
could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a
social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse
groups and classes of our own people. Experience shows that man values his possessions even
more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his
descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. A new order cannot be established without
radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other,
the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a
kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and
large, through the use of physical force.
In the ultimate analysis it is difficult, if not impossible, to say that the instinct to possess has been
rooted out or that it will not reappear in an even worse form under a different guise. It may even
be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a
big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in
extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form.
This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction.
The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct. So long as the ideal
that is to be achieved is one of securing the maximum material satisfaction, possessiveness is
neither suppressed nor eliminated but grows on what it feeds. Nor does it cease to be
possessiveness, whether it is confined to only a few or is shared by many.
If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material
goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot
be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others. This calls for substitution of
material values by purely spiritual ones. The paradise of material satisfaction, which is
sometimes equated with progress these days, neither spells peace nor progress. Mahatma Gandhi
has shown us how the acquisitive instinct inherent in man can be transmuted by the adoption of
the ideal of trusteeship by those who 'have' for the benefit of all those who 'have not' so that,
instead of leading to exploitation and conflict, it would become a means and incentive for the
amelioration and progress of society respectively.

CLAT exam Question paper

Passage for Questions 1 to 10

In 1954, a Bombay economist named A.D. Shroff began a Forum of Free Enterprise, whose ideas on economic
development were somewhat at odds with those then influentially articulated by the Planning Commission of
the Government of India. Shroff complained against the ‘indifference, if not discouragement’ with which the
state treated entrepreneurs. At the same time as Shroff, but independently of him, a journalist named Philip Spratt was writing a series of essays in favour of free enterprise. Spratt was a Cambridge communist who was sent by the party in 1920s to foment revolution in the subcontinent. Detected in the act, he spent many years in an Indian jail. The books he
read in the prison, and his marriage to an Indian woman afterwards, inspired a steady move rightwards. By the
1950s, he was editing a pro-American weekly from Bangalore, called MysIndia. There he inveighed against the
economic policies of the government of India. These, he said, treated the entrepreneur ‘as a criminal who has
dared to use his brains independently of the state to create wealth and give employment’. The state’s chief
planner, P.C. Mahalanobis, had surrounded himself with Western leftists and Soviet academicians, who
reinforced his belief in ‘rigid control by the government over all activities’. The result, said Spratt, would be
‘the smothering of free enterprise, a famine of consumer goods, and the tying down of millions of workers to
soul-deadening techniques.’
The voices of men like Spratt and Shroff were drowned in the chorus of popular support for a model of heavy
industrialization funded and directed by the governments. The 1950s were certainly not propitious times for free
marketers in India. But from time to time their ideas were revived. After the rupee was devalued in 1966, there
were some moves towards freeing the trade regime, and hopes that the licensing system would also be
liberalized. However, after Indira Gandhi split the Congress Party in 1969, her government took its ‘left turn’,
nationalizing a fresh range of industries and returning to economic autarky.

1. Which of the following statements can most reasonably be inferred from the information available in the passage:
(a) P.C. Mahalanobis believed in empowering private entrepreneurs and promoting free market.
(b) Philip Spratt preferred plans that would create economic conditions favourable for a forward march
by the private enterprise.
(c) Restrictions on free markets enriched large Indian companies.
(d) Philip Spratt opposed the devaluation of rupee in 1966.

2. Which of the following statements is least likely to be inferred from the passage.
(a) Acceptance of A.D. Shroff’s plans in the official circles smothered free enterprise in India.
(b) The views of the Forum of Free Enterprise ran against the conception of development then prevalent
among the policy makers.
(c) A.D. Shroff believed that state should actively support the private sector.
(d) Philip Spratt had been educated in Cambridge.

3. Select the statement that best captures the central purpose of this passage.
(a) Highlight that even though there were advocates for free-market and private enterprise in the early years of independent India, they were crowded out by others who supported a dominant role for state over private enterprise.
(b) Explain the politics behind Indira Gandhi’s decision to nationalize the banks.
(c) Demonstrate with the help of statistics how the preference of policy makers for Soviet-style economic policies prevented India’s economic growth.
(d) Establish that devaluation of rupee in 1966 was vindicated by subsequent experience.

4. Philip Spratt came to India because he:
(a) Fell in love with an Indian woman
(b) Wanted to protest against the economic policies of the Indian government.
(c) Was offered the editorship of Mysindia.
(d) Had been instructed to work towards the goal of inciting a revolution in India.

5. The author that A.D. Shroff’s ideas were somewhat at odds with the views of Planning Commission

Passage for Questions 11 to 20
In Manu Joseph’s debut novel Serious Men, the protagonist, Ayyan Mani; is a sly, scheming Dalit-Buddhist
who almost gets away with passing off his partially deaf son, Adi, as a prodigy, a genius who can recite the first
1,000 prime numbers. The garb of satire—where almost every character cuts a sorry figure—gives the author
the licence to offer one of the most bleak and pessimistic portrayals of urban Dalits. Despite his savage
portrayal of Dalit (and female) characters—or perhaps because of it?—Serious Men has won critical
appreciation from a cross-section of readers and critics.
At a time when a formidable body of Dalit literature—writing by Dalits about Dalit lives—has created a distinct
space for itself, how and why is it that a novel such as Serious Men, with its gleefully skewed portrayal of an
angry Dalit man, manages to win such accolades? In American literature—and particularly in the case of
African-American authors and character—these issues of representation have been debated for decades. But in
India, the sustained refusal to address issues related to caste in everyday life—and the continued and
unquestioned predominance of a Brahminical stranglehold over cultural production—have led us to a place
where non-Dalit portrayal of Dalits in literature, cinema and art remains the norm.
The journey of modern Dalit literature has been a difficult one. But even though it has not necessarily enjoyed
the support of numbers we must engage with what Dalits are writing—not simply for reasons of authenticity, or
as a concession to identity politics, but simply because of the aesthetic value of this body of writing, and for the
insights it offers into the human condition. In a society that is still largely unwilling to recognize Dalits as equal,
rights-bearing human beings, in a society that is inherently indifferent to the everyday violence against Dalits,
in a society unwilling to share social and cultural resources equitably with Dalits unless mandated by law (as
seen in the anti-reservation discourse), Dalit literature has the potential to humanize non-Dalits and sensitise
them to a world into which they have no insight. But before we can understand what Dalit literature is seeking
to accomplish, we need first to come to terms with the stranglehold of non-Dalit representations of Dalits.
Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance, published 15 years ago, chronicles the travails of two Dalit characters—
uncle Ishvar and nephew Omprakash—who migrate to Bombay and yet cannot escape brutality. While the
present of the novel is set at the time of the Emergency, Ishvar’s father Dukhi belongs to the era of the anticolonial
nationalist movement. During one of Dukhi’s visits to the town, he chances upon a meeting of the
Indian National Congress, where speakers spread the “Mahatma’s message regarding the freedom struggle, the
struggle for justice,” and wiping out “the disease of untouchability, ravaging us for centuries, denying dignity to
our fellow human beings.”
Neither in the 1940s, where the novel’s past is set, nor in the Emergency period of the 1970s—when the minds
and bodies Ishvar and Omprakash, are savaged by the state—do we find any mention of a figure like BR
Ambedkar or of Dalit movements. In his ‘nationalist’ understanding of modern Indian history, Mistry seems to
have not veered too far from the road charted by predecessors like Mulk Raj Anand and Premchand. Sixty years
after Premchand, Mistry’s literary imagination seems stuck in the empathy-realism mode, trapping Dalits in
abjection. Mistry happily continues the broad stereotype of the Dalit as a passive sufferer, without
consciousness of caste politics.
11. Which of the following is the closest description of the central argument of this passage:
(a) Manu Joseph’s novel presents a scathing portrayal of Dalits.
(b) Contemporary American literature is very cautious on politically correct representation of
minorities.
(c) The last two decades have witnessed the rise of a very vibrant Dalit literature.

literature, cinema and art.
12. According to this passage, Premchand and Mulk Raj Anand:
(a) Presented a stereotyped version of Dalit characters in their writings.
(b) Excelled in writing satires on social inequality
(c) Were politically opposed to the views of B.R. Ambedkar
(d) Were closely involved with the leadership of the nationalist movement.
13. The writer refers to the ‘anti-reservation discourse’ in order to argue that:
(a) Dalit literature has had a very difficult journey since its origins.
(b) Manu Joseph is viscerally opposed to Dalits.
(c) Persons belonging to the upper castes are inherently indifferent to routine violence against Dalits.
(d) Indian society is not yet ready to equitably share, on its own, social, cultural and political space with
Dalits.
14. Which of the following statements is least likely to be inferred from this passage.
(a) The author of Serious Men has used the literary device of satire to present an unflattering picture of
women characters.
(b) Issues of representation of minorities have been debated extensively in American literature.
(c) The writer of this passage believes that engagement with Dalits is necessary only because such
engagement affirms the importance of identity politics.
(d) The writer believes that Rohinton Mistry presented a stereotypical representation of Dalits character
in his book.
15. According to the information available in the passage, the writer attributes the prevalence of
representation of Dalits by non-Dalits in literature, art and media to:
(a) The nationalist understanding of Indian history
(b) Marginalization of B.R. Ambedkar from nationalist movement.
(c) The anti-reservation discourse
(d) Brahminical control over cultural production.
16. Which of the following is not among the reasons suggested by the writer for engaging with Dalit
writing:
(a) Dalit literature has the potential to sensitize non-Dalits about the experiences of the former.
(b) Dalit writing is more authentic than representation of Dalits by non-Dalits.
(c) Dalit literature does not have the support of numbers.
(d) The aesthetic value of Dalit writing.
17. Which of the following statement cannot be inferred from the passage:
(a) Upper-castes have dominated the instruments of cultural production in Indian society.
(b) Indian society is unwilling to recognize Dalits as equal, rights bearing human beings.
(c) Dalit writers have carved out a space for writings on Dalit experience and world view.
(d) The judiciary in India, in its opposition to reservation, has betrayed its unwillingness to
acknowledge Dalits as equal bearer of rights.
18. The writer of this passage is critical of Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance for the reason that:
(a) It is an example of a book of Dalit characters by a Non-Dalit
(b) The book suggests that Dalits are nothing more than passive sufferers without any agency.
(c) The book ignores the everyday violence that Dalits have to confront with.
(d) It bares the passive literary style of the author, Rohinton Mistry.
19. Which of the following words would be the best substitute for the word ‘sly’ in this passage.
(a) Bright (b) wise (c) devious (d) dim
20. “It is not as if Dalit movements________ not active during the periods that form A Fine Balance’s
backdrop.” Select the most appropriate choice to fill in the blank in the above sentence:

MY LOVE OF NATURE, goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I -stayed on, my
grandparents' farm in Suffolk. My father was in the armed forces, so we were always moving and
didn't have a home base for any length of time, but I loved going there. I think it was my grandmother
who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wild flowers and got me
interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at
University.
I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and
needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything
about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the
time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones and starfish. I became keen very
quickly, and learned how to develop and print; obviously I didn't have much money in those
days, so I did more black and white photography than colour, but it was all still using the camera
very much as a tool to record what I found both by diving and on the shore. I had no ambition at all to
be a photographer then, or even for some years afterwards.
Unlike many of the wildlife photographers of the time, I trained as a scientist and therefore my
way of expressing myself is very different. I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are -
always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don't pick up sea
creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the
shore without knowing you're doing it. In so doing you're actually falsifying the sort of seaweeds they
live on and so on, which may seem unimportant, but it is actually changing the natural surroundings
to make them prettier.
Unfortunately, many of the people who select pictures are looking for attractive images and, at the
end of the day, whether it's truthful or not doesn't really matter to them.
It's important to think about the animal first, and there are many occasions when I've not taken
a picture because it would have been too disturbing.
Nothing is so important that you have to get that shot; of course, there are cases when it would be very
sad if you didn't, but it's not the end of the world. There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour
towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places:
while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to
them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact that there are increasingly fewer

places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more
difficult for the professional wildlife photographer.
Nevertheless, wildlife photographs play a very important part in educating people about what is out
there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to
many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. Of
the qualities it takes to make a good wildlife photographer, patience is perhaps the most obvious - you
just have to be prepared to sit it out. I'm actually more patient now because I write more than ever
before, and as long as I've got a bit of paper and a pencil, I don't feel I'm wasting my time. And
because I photograph such a wide range of things, even if the main target doesn't appear I can probably
find something else to concentrate on instead.
