PASSAGE I (Question Nos. 191 to 195)

The ancient Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda,

conceived of illness as emanating from an imbalance in the
basic vital elements phlegm, bile and gas (Kaf, Pitta, Vayu)
while the Chinese system of health assumed that it is the
breakdown in the dynamic harmony between the Yin and Yang
within the human body which is the cause of disease. On the
other hand, the modern health system believes in the germ
theory of disease. But significant advances are being made
towards a deeper understanding of health and disease at the
cellular and genetic level which may alter our understanding
of health and disease in a fundamental way in the near future.
However, in a generalised manner and in a certain sense, one
can also visualise health as silence of organs and disease
their revolt. Illness is not just the affliction suffered by the
individual but it may be seen, at least partly, by what the world
had done to the victim.
Illness is indeed a metaphor, as Susan Sontag has
pointed out. However, the metaphor of illness is not limited
to individual emotions and feelings. It can be used as a
fairly accurate proxy to delineate the dynamics and
architecture of relationship the individual enjoys with the
state and the society. It does tell us a lot to know that in the
US and many other developed western countries antidepressants, sleeping pills and similar other medicines
dealing with mental illnesses constitute a big chunk of the
expenditure on medicine. At the same time, in developing
countries of Asia and Africa, millions of children die of
diarrhoea and malnutrition. In these countries TB is still
among the major killer diseases even while cheap and
effective medicines exist for these.
The health status of the people in the country is an
important flag-post to evaluate the success of the state
policy. The health of the individual impacts the growth of
the nation in a very material sense. It has been estimated
that the differences in the growth performance of many
countries can be attributed to the health status of the
people. Public expenditure on health support programmes
in fact countributes quite tangibly in spurring the growth
in the country.
191. According to the ancient Indian system of medicine,
Ayurveda, what is the definition of illness?
(A) Illness is the breakdown in the dynamic harmony
between Yin and Yang within the human body.
(B) Illness is the result of imbalance in the basic vital
elements phlegm, bile and gas.
(C) Illness is a condition when anabolic process takes
over metabolic process.
(D) Illness is decided by inaction of a vital organ.
192. Which of the following statements is not true in the
context of the passage?
(A) In the developing countries of Asia and Africa
tuberculosis is still among major killer diseases.
(B) In a certain sense it can be said that health is the
silence of organs while disease is their revolt.

with
(A) heart diseases
(B) kidney diseases
(C) mental diseases
(D) respiratory diseases
194. Why is the health status of the people in the country
so important?
(A) Because it affects the growth of the nation in a
significant manner.
(B) Because it evaluates the success of the state
policy

PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
Over the years, the makers of modern India have been
parochialised by the sect or state to which they originally
belonged. Rabindranath Tagore, whose stories and
especially essays are of universal appeal, is now considered
an icon of Bengalis alone. Vallabhbhai Patel, without whose
efforts India would not be a united nation, is now hardly
remembered outside Gujarat. Jawaharlal Nehru, who helped
nurture a democratic ethos across India, is now the
property of a single party.
A fourth Indian who has become a victim of sectarian
diminution is BR Ambedkar. He is now known only for his
contributions to the emancipation of the subaltern castes.
To be sure, he did a great deal to instil a sense of dignity among
the oppressed. But we seem to have forgotten that he was
not just a militant Dalit, but also a wise democrat whose life
and thought can profitably be studied by all Indians,
regardless of the caste or religion to which they belong.
Our republic owes its existence to a constitution
whose drafting was overseen by Ambedkar. In his last
speech to the Constituent Assemblydelivered on
November 25, 1949Ambedkar issued three warnings that
are compellingly relevant to the predicament that the nation
finds itself in today. First, he urged his compatriots to
abandon the bloody methods of revolution. In the
circumstances of colonial rule, there were grounds for taking
to the streets to protest, and even perhaps to use violence.
But with the coming of a free, sovereign and democratic
republic, wrote Ambedkar, there can be no justification
for these unconstitutional methods. These methods are

nothing but the Grammar of Anarchy and the sooner they

are abandoned, the better for us.
Ambedkar would have been appalled by the activities
of his fellow Maharashtrian, Raj Thackeray. But he would
have had no time either for the Maoists, who claim to speak
on behalf of the disadvantaged. He would have urged them
to persuade rather than coerce citizens to their point of
view, to abandon the gun and enter the democratic process
that the Constitution had legitimised.
196. Why has it been said that Vallabhbhai Patel is now
hardly remembered outside Gujarat?
(A) Because Vallabhbhai Patel had done a lot only for
the state of Gujarat.
(B) Because he has become irrelevant in present
political scenario.
(C) Because our horizon of thinking has shrinked and
we have become short-sighted.
(D) All the above
197. Which of the following statements about BR Ambedkar
is not true? Give your answer in the context of the
given passage.
(A) He was a wise democrat whose life and thought
can profit all Indians.
(B) He has become a victim of sectarian diminution.
(C) He is now known as the well-wisher of the
subaltern castes.
(D) None of these
198. Why had Ambedkar urged his compatriots to abandon
the bloody methods of revolution?
(A) Because it is against the principle of Buddha and
Mahatma Gandhi.
(B) Because it is only a form of anarchy.
(C) Because in such type of revolution the victims
are only Dalits.
(D) Because such method of revolution is suitable
only against foreigners.
199. Had Ambedkar been alive today what would he have
done to handle the Maoists?
(i) He would have requested them to abandon the
path of bloodshed.
(ii) He would have urged them to coerce citizens to
their point of view.
(iii) He would have urged them to enter the democratic
process.
(A) Only (i)
(B) Only (iii)
(C) Only (i) and (ii)
(D) Only (i) and (iii)
200. What is the meaning of the word emancipation as
used in the passage?
(A) liberation
(B) emigration
(C) emotion
(D) comparison
