Re: Previous year paper of jamia millia islamia

As you are asking for jamia millia islamia Previous year paper of its entrance exam , so on your demand I am providing same for you:

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow (from question No.1 to 10)
Cultural nationalism is a selective and partial category where imagination plays a vital role in
fashioning identity. Cultural nationalism derives its strength from the past—mainly folk
traditions, religion, rural dialects—in order to demonstrate cultural uniqueness and thereby
stimulate national consciousness. However, when culturally reified structures collide with the
process of modernisation and social reform in the attainment of political ends, cultural
nationalism shows its regressive aspect. The requirements of a modern state and the
aspiration of the masses are hardly compatible with a nostalgic retreat into culture. This is
very relevant in anti-colonial struggles where culturally imagined unification must work side
by side with mass mobilisation, the primary motive being the establishment of an
independent nation-state. The emerging nation-state, consequently, witnesses rapid
appropriation of workers, peasants, minorities, and the lower orders, and enlists their
participation. But often we discover, as in India, that although we have a political nation-
state, the nation itself is yet to be born. From this viewpoint, we can say that the intelligentsia
remains separate from the subaltern and the field of writing or rhetoric remains separate
from the field of political action, although nationalist ideology tends to cover up its
differences.
