Section–I: English Usage


S.1–10) Direction for Questions: Read the passage and answer the questions which follow.

81
In the wake of violent clashes in Hong Kong on Sunday, during which a live gunshot was fired for the
first time since protests began in early June, Chinese state media used its harshest rhetoric yet to
condemn the unrest and warned that Beijing could soon intervene.

00
The 12th straight weekend of protests in the semi-autonomous enclave took a dangerous turn when
police deployed water cannons and one officer fired a gun into the air to disperse protesters, who
hurled bricks and petrol bombs at officers in the New Territories district of Tsuen Wan.
60
The Hong Kong government confirmed that six police officers drew their pistols to fend off
protesters attacking them. One of the police officers fired a warning shot into the air “in order to
protect the safety of other officers and himself,” according to a statement. The use of live
ammunition is extremely rare in Hong Kong.
11

Following the clashes, China’s state–run Xinhua News Agency published a commentary asserting that
Beijing has the authority and the responsibility to step in and quell the unrest. “If riots happen, the
central government has to intervene,” Xinhua said, drawing on historic comments from China’s
paramount leader Deng Xiaoping.
18

The commentary also called the protests a “color revolution” aimed at overturning the government.
Chinese government officials have in previous weeks said that the protests have the characteristics
of a “color revolution,” a reference to pro–democratic uprisings in former Soviet states and the
Balkans throughout the early 2000s.

This weekend’s return to violence followed a peaceful march the previous Sunday which organizers
say 1.7 million people attended. On Friday, protesters formed a human chain across the city in a nod
to a 1989 protest in the Baltic states against Soviet Union rule.

Protests began in early June as a series of peaceful marches against a now–suspended bill that
would have for the first time allowed Beijing to extradite criminal suspects to the mainland to face
trial under the Communist Party–controlled court system. But the movement has morphed into a
wider antigovernment campaign, with some protesters calling for full democracy in the former
British colony.

Protests have become a common occurrence in the city, and have frequently descended into violent
clashes with police, who have been criticized for their use of force. In recent weeks, demonstrators
have shut down the city’s subway trains and the international airport with organized rallies.

Fears have risen in recent weeks that Beijing could intervene in the lead–up to its National Day
celebration on Oct. 1, marking the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. The People’s

British, French and Pakistani nationalism were based on paranoia, on the belief that all citizens must
speak the same language, adhere to the same faith, and hate the same enemy. On the other hand,
Indian nationalism was based on a common set of values. During the non–cooperation movement of
1920–21, people all across India came out into the streets, gave up jobs and titles, left their colleges,
18

courted arrest. For the first time, the people of India had the sense, the expectation, the confidence
that they could create their own nation. In 1921, when non–cooperation was at its height, Gandhi
defined Swaraj as a bed with four sturdy bed–posts. The four posts that held up Swaraj were non–
violence, Hindu–Muslim harmony, the abolition of untouchability and economic self–reliance. Three
decades later, after India was finally free, these values were enshrined in our Constitution.

When the Republic of India was created, its citizens were sought to be united on a set of values:
democracy, religious and linguistic pluralism, caste and gender equality and the removal of poverty
and discrimination. They were not sought to be united on the basis of a single religion, a shared
faith, or a common enemy. Now this is the founding model of Indian nationalism, which I shall call
‘constitutional patriotism’, because it is enshrined in our Constitution.

Q.29) Constitution Patriotism is

a) To have unity of faith, religion and enmity.


b) To have common value system irrespective of caste, Color, creed, gender.
c) To treat everyone equally
d) To fight common enemy.

Q.30) What did the common masses do during non–cooperation movement?

a) Developed common set of values


b) Gave up jobs and careers
