Section A (13)

Q.1Read the following text carefully and answer the questions given below them :(04)
Patriotism is an old concept, as old perhaps as the earliest of humans civilizations. But all through
the history of mankind, it has been narrowly understood. Today people have begun to realise that
patriotism is an essential part of human instinct.

Patriotism has its negative sides particularly when it exceeds its proper bounds. People who think their
own country to be the best and are blind to its weaknesses are not patriots at all. We are the members of a
large human family and so cannot neglect our duties and responsibilities towards it. Our love for the
country should be conditioned by respect for the whole community. Narrow prejudice can do nothing
except to bring misfortune. In trying to overlook others’ interest in the modern world, we harm our own.

Patriotism should be tempered with reason so that it may not be an evil.
