Read the following passage carefully and


answer questions from 55 to 60 : The last great war,
which nearly shook the foundations of the modern
world, had little impact on Indian literature beyond
aggravating the popular revulsion against violence
and adding to the growing disillusionment with the
'humane pretensions' of the Western World. This
was eloquently voiced in Tagore's later poems and
his last testament, Crisis in Civilisation. The
Indian intelligentsia was in a state of moral
dilemma. On the one hand, it could not help
sympathising with England's dogged courage in the
hour of peril, with the Russians fighting with their
backs to the wall against the ruthless Nazi hordes,
and with China groaning under the heel of Japanese
militarism; on the other hand, their own country
was practically under military occupation of their
own soil, and an Indian army under Subhas Bose
was trying from the opposite camp to liberate their
country. No creative impulse could issue from such
confusion of loyalties. One would imagine that the
achievement of Indian independence in 1947,
which came in the wake of the Allies' victory and
was followed by the collapse of colonialism in the
neighbouring countries of South-East Asia, would
have released an upsurge of creative energy. No
doubt it did, but unfortunately it was son
submerged in the geat agony of partition, with its
inhuman slaughter of the innocents and the
uprooting of millions of people from their
homeland, followed by the martyrdom of Mahatma
Gandhi. These tragedies, along with Pakistan's

invasion of Kashmir and its later atrocities in


Bangladesh, did indeed provoke a poignant writing,
particularly in the languages of the regions most
affected, Bengali, Hindi, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Sindhi
and Urdu. But poignant or passionate writing does
not by itself make great literature. What reserves of
enthusiasm and confidence survived these disasters
have been mainly absorbed in the task of national
reconstruction and economic development. Great
literature has always emerged out of chains of
convulsions. Indian literature is richer today in
volume, range and variety than it ever was in the
past. Based on the passage answer the following
questions from 55 to 60:

55. What did Tagore articulate in his last testament?

World.
(3) Expressed loyalty to England.
(4) Encouraged the liberation of countries.
Answer: (2)

56. What was the stance of Indian intelligentsia


during the period of great war?
(1) Indifference to Russia's plight.
(2) They favoured Japanese militarism.

loyalties.
(4) They expressed sympathy for England's dogged
courage.
Answer: (4)

57. Identify the factor responsible for the

(1) Military occupation of one's own soil.
(2) Resistance to colonial occupation.
(3) Great agony of partition.
(4) Victory of Allies.
