The next 03 (three) items are based on the

following passage : .

A government in a democratic country has to respond to on-going priorities in public criticism and political reproach; lind to the threats to survival it has to face. The removal of long standing deprivations of the disadvantaged people of our country may, in effect, be hampered by the biases' in political pressure, ill particular when the bulk of the social agitation is dominated by new problems that generate immediate and noisy discontent among the' middle class Indians with a voice. If the politically active threats are concentrated only on some specific new issues, no matter how important (such as high prices of consumer goods for the relatively rich, or the fear that India's political sovereignty might be compromised by its nuclear deal with the USA), rather than on the terrible general inheritance of India of acute deprivation,' deficient schooling, lack of medical attention for the poor, and extraordinary under nourishment (especially of children and also of young women), then the pressure 011 democratic governance acts relentlessly towards giving priority to only those ·particular new issues, rather than to the gigantic persistent deprivations that are at the root of so much inequity and injustice in India. The perspective . oj realization of justice and that of an adequately broad nyaya are ·central not only to the theory of justice, but also to the practice of democracy.

58. What are the 'new' issues that dominate the middle class led social agenda today ?

(a) Price rise, progressive taxation and the Indo-USA nuclear deal

(b) Acute deprivation, malnourishment and famines

(c) Dowry deaths, gender inequalities and price ri se

(d) Illiteracy, poverty and infant mortality

Civil society has become the Leitmotif of movements struggling to free them .... elves from unresponsive and often tyrannical post colonial elites. If the first wave of liberation took place along with decolonization. the second wave comes up against those very elites who had taken power after decolonizelion. I see the beginning of an authentic civil society in the voice of those outside the ambit of norms laid down by the state - ecology, gender, class - in the resistance of those who refuse to let the state site its projects wherever it places, in the voice of those who reject corrupt elites in the political passions. of those whose nerves are not numbed by consumer capitalism, in the letters to the newspapers, in oral communication. These are people who do not opt out of civil society but who demand that the stale deliver what it has promised in the Constitution and the law, who demand state accountability, who expand the sphere of rights to encompass those which has a rise 71 out .of the struggles of the people.
