Passage (Questions number 1 to 5): It is believed that the beginnings of modernity can be traced to the Fall of Constantinople in 1458. ‘The period from the French Revolution of 1789 till the First World War (1914 - 1918) is believed to be of high modernity. With the First World War, there began the questioning of the sottled assumptions about everything. This is believed to be the beginning of Post-modernity and the gradual waning of modernity; though both of them continue to coexist uneasily in the world today. Charles Baudelaire is credited for having coined the term ‘modernity’ in 1864 in his essay ‘Ihe Painter of Modern Life’ to denote a relationship with the contemporary time characterised by a rupture with the tradition. ‘ween BTA GMT | SPACE FOR ROUGH WORK P.T.O. 007 4 A Though the term modernity was coined during the high tide of its existence in the nineteenth century, its various features can be observed from the fifteenth century onwards. Anthony Giddens has defined modernity as a ‘shorthand term for modern society or Industrial Civilisation’. He believes that it is associated with (1) the idea of the world as open to transformation by human intervention; (2) a complex of economic institutions, especially industrial production and a market economy; (3) political institutions including the nation-state and mass democracy. Modernity in Europe involved the spread of capitalism, democracy and industrial revolution accompanied by a critique of religion. This very process manifested itself with varying intensity in the colonies. In the history of Afro-Asian countries where certain beginnings of modernity were already visible, imperialism brought about a rupture and directed the course of their history on a different trajectory of exploitation and the colonial reality. When cultures confronted each other as colonisers and the colonised, introspection and efforts towards change were inevitable. The political and cultural hegemony of the colonial power in India brought the Indians face to face with various ideas included in the cluster of modernity — liberty, equality, fraternity, rationality, rule of law, spirit of enquiry and individualism. This is not to say that these were completely alien to the Indians. Ideas such as reason and liberty have been a part of the Indian philosophical and literary discourse at least from the times of Buddha, i.e., the 6* Century B.C. 1.

Global leaders have pledged common action and endeavour for such a broad and universal policy agenda. They have decided to implement the Agenda for the full benefit of all. The world has reaffirmed the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as other international laws. The emphasis is given on the responsibilities of all states, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations, to respect, protect and promote human rights and ensuring fundamental freedom for all, without distinetion of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, disability, ete. The new goals and targets have come into effect on January 1, 2016 and will guide the decisions to be taken over the next fifteen years. It is necessary to respect the national Policy space for inclusive and sustainable economic growth, in particular for developing countries from Africa and Asia, People who are vulnerable must be empowered. Those whose needs are reflected in the development agenda include all children, youth, persons with disabilities, people living with HIV/AIDS, older persons, indigenous peoples, refugees and internally displaced persons and migrants. The commitment is shown towards ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030. SDGs ensure the basic standard of living, end of hunger and achieving food security as a matter of high priority and to end all forms of malnutrition. To promote physical and mental health and well-being, and to extend life expectancy for all, we must achieve universal health coverage and availability of quality healthcare. It is essential to reduce new-born, child and maternal mortality by 2030. SDGs have promised aniversal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, including for family planning, information and education. The focus will be to accelerate the pace of progress made in fighting malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis, Ebola and other communicable diseases und epidemics. SDGs aim at building strong economic foundations for all countries. Inclusive and sustainable economic growth is essential for prosperity. It will be easy if wealth is distributed equally and income inequality is addressed. Nations must work to build dynamic, sustainable, innovative and people-centred economies, promoting youth employment and women’s economic empowerment. All countries stand to benefit from having a healthy and well-educated workforce. The vast agenda of SDGs shows a certain direction of human progress in the next decade and a half, All the countries in the world must work relentlessly to ensure that most of the goals are attained and the quality of human life is improved all over the globe. ‘Pea BUNT FM / SPACE FOR ROUGH WORK P.T.0. 007 : 8 A 6 oath are ae ag?
