Q.1.(A) Read the following extract carefully & complete the activities given
below.
If we wish to maintain democracy not merely in form, but also in fact,
what must we do & The First thing in my judgement we must do is to hold fast
to constitutional method of achieving our social and economic objectives.
When there was no way left for constitutional methods for achieving economic
and social objectives, there was a great deal of justification for unconstitutional
methods. But where constitution al methods are open, there can be no
justification for these unconstitutional methods. These methods are nothing
but the Grammar of Anarchy and the sooner they are abandoned, the better
for us.
The second thing we must do is to observe the coution which John stuart
Mill has given to all who are interested in the maintenance of democracy,
namely, not" to lay their liberties at the feet of even a great man, or to trust
him with powers which enable him to subvert their institutions." There is
nothing wrong in being grateful to great men who have rendered life long
services to the country. But there are limits to great gratefulness. As has been
well said by the Irish patriot. Daniel O'Connel, No man can be grateful at the
cost of his honour, no woman can be grateful at the cost of her her chastity
and no nation can be grateful at the cost of its liberty. This caution is far more
necessary in the case of India than in the case of any other country for in India,
Bhakti or what may be called the path of devotion or Hero-worship plays a part
in its politics unequalled in margitude by the part it plays in the politics of any
other Country in the world. Bhakti in religion may be a road to the salvation of
the soul. But in politics, Bhakti or Hero - worship is a Sure road to degradation
