Directions
for the following 13 (16-28) items:
Read the
following three passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your
answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Passage
1
By going
through literature on communalism certain important aspects that are worth
noting arise. First, arbitrary definitions and explanations, often due to the
development of opposing schools of thought, have created vagueness around the
phenomenon of communalism and its associations with the concept of
community. Second, most of the writings
on communalism are not on communalism per se. They are on Hindu communalism,
Muslim communalism and Hindu fundamentalism and, as said already, the
connection between communalism and communities is not addressed properly.
Third, features of religious communalism - a presumed homogeneous community
identity and community consciousness - are also exhibited by sects, cults,
castes and linguistic and regional communities. Such communities and their
politics are not seen as part of the restricted idea of communalism. This is why the use of the idea of the
"ethnic" is considered more appropriate, for it can bring under its
consideration the full range of such expressions. Fourth, occurrences of communal violence in
southern Indian states, its spread to rural and hill areas where tribal and
dalits are either involved or attacked and a range of new subjects for
contestation in contemporary times show that communalism is not a peculiar
north Indian and urban phenomenon.
Writings
on communalism, even while highly analytical, consider community in terms of
religion. This narrowing of communalism
to apply only to religious communities has been uncritically inherited from
colonial understandings of communities in India
16. Consider the following statements:
1.
Communalism has a narrow definition of being Inter-religious hence,
Intra-religious communalism is ignored.
2. The
scope of communalism needs to be studied in a broader perspective to bring in
comprehensive understanding.
With
reference to the above passage, which of the following assumption(s) is/are
correct?
a) 1
only
b) 2
only
c) Both
1 and 2
d)
Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: C
17. Consider the following statements
1. Most
writings on communalism have been charged by religious sentiment.
2.
Colonial understandings of communities in India
With
reference to the above passage, which of the following assumptions is/are
valid?
a) 1
only
b) 2
only
c) Both
1 and 2
d)
Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: B
18. According to the passage, what is the
reason that communalism has come to be identified only with religion?
a)
Religious communalism gained importance during the colonial times
b) The
frequent tension between religious communities brought religion to the fore and
other kinds of communalism were relegated.
c) The
connection between communalism and community has not been given by attention
d) There
has not been enough research and understanding developed on the subject; hence
the narrow definition
Answer: A
19. Which of the following statements is
the author most likely to agree with?
1.
Communalism and community can be used interchangeably to talk about the same
group of people
2.
Communalism can be defined as the religious heritage that gives rise to a
particular community
