Directions (Q.1-Q.120): Each set of questions in this section are based on the passage. The questions are to be
answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. Choose the most appropriate response that
accurately and completely answer the question.

Passage (Q.1-Q.12): Three years ago, when armed terrorists attacked a dozen locations in Mumbai—including
two luxury hotels, a hospital, the railway station, a restaurant, and a Jewish center—they killed as many as 159
people, both Indians and foreigners, and gravely wounded more than 200. The assault, known as 26/11, scarred
the nation’s psyche by exposing the country’s vulnerability to terrorism, although India is no stranger to it. The
Taj Mumbai’s burning domes and spires, which stayed ablaze for two days and three nights, will forever
symbolize the tragic events of 26/11.

During the onslaught on the Taj Mumbai, 31 people died and 28 were hurt, but the hotel received only praise

m
the day after. Its guests were overwhelmed by employees’ dedication to duty, their desire to protect guests

o
without regard to personal safety, and their quick thinking. Restaurant and banquet staff rushed people to safe

c
locations such as kitchens and basements. Telephone operators stayed at their posts, alerting guests to lock

doors and not step out. Kitchen staff formed human shields to protect guests during evacuation attempts. As

k e
At some level, that isn’t surprising. One of the world’s top hotels, the Taj Mumbai is ranked number 20 by
Condé Nast Traveler in the overseas business hotel category. The hotel is known for the highest levels of

n
quality, its ability to go many extra miles to delight customers, and its staff of highly trained employees, some

a
of whom have worked there for decades. It is a well-oiled machine, where every employee knows his or her

r
job, has encyclopedic knowledge about regular guests, and is comfortable taking orders.

p
6D0A
tr-5E2J7C5D8I
Even so, the Taj Mumbai’s employees gave customer service a whole new meaning during the terrorist strike.

o
What created that extreme customer-centric culture of employee after employee staying back to rescue guests

T
when they could have saved themselves? What can other organizations do to emulate that level of service, both
in times of crisis and in periods of normalcy? Can companies scale up and perpetuate extreme customer
centricity?

Our studies show that the Taj employees’ actions weren’t prescribed in manuals; no official policies or
procedures existed for an event such as 26/11. Some contextual factors could have had a bearing, such as
India’s ancient culture of hospitality; the values of the House of Tata, which owns the Taj Group; and the Taj
Mumbai’s historical roots in the patriotic movement for a free India. The story, probably apocryphal, goes that
6M0R
tr- 5T2U7O5N8M
in the 1890s, when security men denied J.N. Tata entry into the Royal Navy Yacht Club, pointing to a board
that apparently said “No Entry for Indians and Dogs,” he vowed to set up a hotel the likes of which the British
had never seen. The Taj opened its doors in 1903.

Passage (Q.13-Q.24): The Portuguese nobleman Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) sailed from Lisbon in 1497 on a
mission to reach India and open a sea route from Europe to the East. After sailing down the western coast of
Africa and rounding the Cape of Good Hope, his expedition made numerous stops in Africa before reaching
the trading post of Calicut, India, in May 1498. Da Gama received a hero’s welcome back in Portugal, and was
sent on a second expedition to India in 1502, during which he brutally clashed with Muslim traders in the
region. Two decades later, da Gama again returned to India, this time as Portuguese viceroy; he died there of an
illness in late 1524.

VASCO DA GAMA’S EARLY LIFE AND FIRST VOYAGE TO INDIA


Born circa 1460, Vasco da Gama was the son of a minor nobleman who commanded the fortress at Sines,
located on the coast of the Alentejo province in southwestern Portugal. Little else is known about his early life,
but in 1492 King John II sent da Gama to the port city of Setubal (south of Lisbon) and to the Algarve region
to seize French ships in retaliation for French attacks on Portuguese shipping interests.

o m
In 1497, John’s successor, King Manuel I (crowned in 1495), chose da Gama to lead a Portuguese fleet to India

c
in search of a maritime route from Western Europe to the East. At the time, the Muslims held a monopoly of

rs .
trade with India and other Eastern nations, thanks to their geographical position. Da Gama sailed from Lisbon
that July with four vessels, traveling south along the coast of Africa before veering far off into the southern
Atlantic in order to avoid unfavorable currents. The fleet was finally able to round the Cape of Good Hope at

k e
Africa’s southern tip in late November, and headed north along Africa’s eastern coast, making stops at what is
now Mozambique, Mombasa and Malindi (both now in Kenya). With the help of a local navigator, da Gama
was able to cross the Indian Ocean and reach the coast of India at Calicut (now Kozhikode) in May 1498.

RELATIONS WITH LOCAL POPULATION & RIVAL TRADERS

r an
Though the local Hindu population of Calicut initially welcomed the arrival of the Portuguese sailors (who

p
7C5D8I6D 0A
5E2JGama
mistook them for Christians), tensions quickly flared aftertr-da offered their ruler a collection of relatively

o
cheap goods as an arrival gift. This conflict, along with hostility from Muslim traders, led Da Gama to leave
without concluding a treaty and return to Portugal. A much larger fleet, commanded by Pedro Alvares Cabral,

T
was dispatched to capitalize on da Gama’s discoveries and secure a trading post at Calicut.

After Muslim traders killed 50 of his men, Cabral retaliated by burning 10 Muslim cargo vessels and killing
the nearly 600 sailors aboard. He then moved on to Cochin, where he established the first Portuguese trading
post in India. In 1502, King Manuel put da Gama in charge of another Indian expedition, which sailed that
February. On this voyage, da Gama attacked Arab shipping interests in the region and used force to reach an
agreement with Calicut’s ruler. For these brutal demonstrations of power, da Gama was vilified throughout
India and the region. Upon his return to Portugal, by contrast, he was richly
6M0R
rewarded for another successful
tr- 5T2U7O5N8M
voyage.

DA GAMA’S LATER LIFE AND LAST VOYAGE TO INDIA


Da Gama had married a well-born woman sometime after returning from his first voyage to India; the couple
would have six sons. For the next 20 years, da Gama continued to advise the Portuguese ruler on Indian affairs,
but he was not sent back to the region until 1524, when King John III appointed him as Portuguese viceroy in
India.

Da Gama arrived in Goa with the task of combating the growing corruption that had tainted the Portuguese
government in India. He soon fell ill, and in December 1524 he died in Cochin. His body was later taken back
to Portugal for burial there.

Passage (Q.25-Q.36): Information technology has become so much part of everyday life that it is affecting
human identity (understood as character). Two developments have been claimed to have a particularly great
6M0R
tr- 5T2U7O5N8M
impact. The first of these is that information technologies are starting to become part of our bodies and
function as prosthetic technologies that take over or augment biological functions, turning humans into
cyborgs, and thereby altering human nature. A second development is the emergence of virtual identities,
which are identities that people assume online and in virtual worlds. This development has raised questions
about the nature of identity and the self, and their realization in the future.

Philosophical studies of cyborgs have considered three principal questions: the conceptual question of what a
cyborg is, the interpretive and empirical question of whether humans are or are becoming cyborgs, and the
normative questions of whether it would be good or desirable for humans to become cyborgs. The term
“cyborg” has been used in three increasingly broad senses. The traditional definition of a cyborg, is that of a
being composed of both organic and artificial systems, between which there is feedback-control, with the
artificial systems closely mimicking the behavior of organic systems. On a broader conception, a cyborg is any
individual with artificial parts, even if these parts are simple structures like artificial teeth and breast implants.
6M0R
tr-5T2U7O5N8M
On a still broader conception, a cyborg is any individual who relies extensively on technological devices and
artifacts to function. On this conception, everyone is a cyborg, since everyone relies extensively on technology.

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 6 of 32
Cyborgs have become a major research topic in cultural studies, which has brought forth the area of cyborg
theory, which is the multidisciplinary study of cyborgs and their representation in popular culture [Gray, 1996].
In this field the notion of the cyborg is often used as a metaphor to understand aspects of contemporary — late
modern or postmodern — society's relationship to technology, as well as to the human body and the self. The
advance of cyborg theory has been credited to Donna Haraway, in particular her essay “Manifesto for
Cyborgs” [Haraway, 1985]. Haraway claims that the binary ways of thinking of modernity (organism-
technology, man-woman, physical-nonphysical and fact-fiction) traps beings into supposedly fixed identities
and oppresses those beings (animals, women, blacks, etc.) who are on the wrong, inferior side of binary
oppositions. She believes that the hybridization of humans and human societies, through the notion of the
cyborg, can free those who are oppressed by blurring boundaries and constructing hybrid identities that are less
vulnerable to the trappings of modernistic thinking (see also [Mazlish, 1993].

Passage (Q.37-Q.48): Mongol leader Genghis Khan (1162-1227) rose from


6M0Rhumble beginnings to establish the
tr-5T2U7O5N8M
largest land empire in history. After uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian plateau, he conquered huge
chunks of central Asia and China. His descendants expanded the empire even further, advancing to such far-off
places as Poland, Vietnam, Syria and Korea. At their peak, the Mongols controlled between 11 and 12 million
contiguous square miles, an area about the size of Africa. Many people were slaughtered in the course of
Genghis Khan’s invasions, but he also granted religious freedom to his subjects, abolished torture, encouraged
trade and created the first international postal system. Genghis Khan died in 1227 during a military campaign
against the Chinese kingdom of Xi Xia. His final resting place remains unknown.

Temujin, later Genghis Khan, was born around 1162 near the border between modern Mongolia and Siberia.
Legend holds that he came into the world clutching a blood clot in his right hand. His mother had been
kidnapped by his father and forced into marriage. At that time, dozens of nomadic tribes on the central Asian
steppe were constantly fighting and stealing from each other, and life for Temujin was violent and
unpredictable.
tr-5T2U7O5N8M
6MBefore
0R he turned 10, his father was poisoned to death by an enemy clan. Temujin’s own clan
then deserted him, his mother and his six siblings in order to avoid having to feed them.

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 8 of 32
Shortly thereafter, Temujin killed his older half-brother and took over as head of the poverty-stricken
household. At one point, he was captured and enslaved by the clan that had abandoned him, but he was
eventually able to escape. In 1178 Temujin married Borte, with whom he would have four sons and an
unknown number of daughters. He launched a daring rescue of Borte after she too was kidnapped, and he soon
began making alliances, building a reputation as a warrior and attracting a growing number of followers. Most
of what we know about Genghis Khan’s childhood comes from “The Secret History of the Mongols,” the
oldest known work of Mongolian history and literature, which was written soon after his death.

Going against custom, Temujin put competent allies rather than relatives in key positions and executed the
leaders of enemy tribes while incorporating the remaining members into his clan. He ordered that all looting
wait until after a complete victory had been won, and he organized his warriors into units of 10 without regard
to kin. Though Temujin was an animist, his followers included Christians, Muslims and Buddhists. By 1205 he
had vanquished all rivals, including his former best friend Jamuka. The following year, he called a meeting of

m
representatives from every part of the territory and established a nation similar in size to modern Mongolia. He

o
was also proclaimed Chinggis Khan, which roughly translates to “Universal Ruler,” a name that became
known in the West as Genghis Khan.

Passage (Q.49-Q.60): In central and eastern Europe, history weighs heavily on personal relationships. When
Russia first attacked Ukraine in 2014, the bonds of family and friendship strained. In 2022, when Russia
launched its full-scale war, these tensions became unbearable, shattering social connections. This was not
solely a matter of politics, but rather deeply rooted moral convictions. The act of breaking social ties has
occurred during revolutionary events and significant transformations, bringing fundamental changes to the
social fabric of central and eastern European society.

Marci Shore, in her book The Taste of Ashes (2013), guides us through the entanglements of history and

interpersonal relationships in central and eastern Europe after the fall of communism. Shore portrays a world

This is where ideas about economic deservingness come into play. Economic deservingness involves the
distribution of material resources, raising questions about fairness and redistributive justice, and is evaluated at
a personal level, entailing judgments about individuals and their moral qualities. This uneasy connection

The moral significance involved in these situations lies in the essence of the social relationship as a grown

philosopher Avishai Margalit has eloquently articulated this idea. According to Margalit, betrayal is
fundamentally characterized by the disregard of the shared values that previously united two individuals.

Passage (Q.61-Q.72): Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), once considered afflictions of the affluent, are
now the leading cause of death in developing nations, accounting for nearly two-thirds of all deaths in India in
2019. Rapid urbanization, lifestyle changes, and increased substance abuse are significant contributors to this
epidemiological transition, with cardiovascular diseases being the most fatal among NCDs.

The revised guidelines for tackling NCDs overlook a crucial component: surgical care. Timely, safe, and
affordable surgical interventions can significantly reduce mortality and prevent adverse outcomes from various
NCDs, proving cost-effective even in low- and middle-income countries. For instance, cataract surgery is a
cost-effective treatment for blindness. However, the lack of surgical care leads to a disease burden and an
economic burden of up to $20.7 trillion across 128 countries.

The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery reported in 2015 that around 5 billion people globally lack access

m
to safe, affordable, and timely surgical care. In India, over 90% of the population lacks access to such care,

o
with only 6.81% of the need for major surgical procedures being met in rural areas. The integration of surgical

An analysis of the revised NCD operational guidelines revealed under-prioritization of surgical care in
managing NCDs. While cancer received sufficient coverage, surgical management of other NCDs and essential
surgical procedures like incision and excision were largely ignored. The guidelines also overlooked the

importance of pediatric surgery, the role of anesthesia, and the need for blood banking.

The revised guidelines focus primarily on the prevention and management of common NCDs but neglect

Passage (Q.73-Q.84): The Indian government has warned its citizens in Canada to exercise “extreme caution”
due to a “deteriorating security environment.” This warning followed the announcement by Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau that Canadian police were investigating “credible allegations” of the Indian
government’s involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead by two masked gunmen
in Surrey, B.C. The Indian government has denied any involvement, and both countries have expelled
diplomats from the other.

The Sikh population in India, primarily residing in the northern state of8MPunjab,
6M0R
has had long-standing demands
5T2U7O5N
for a separate independent homeland — Khalistan, tracing back to the 1940s. The movement gained
tr-

momentum in the 1970s and 1980s due to the Indian government's policies and the need to protect Sikh
identity and religion. The violence peaked in June 1984 when the Indian army stormed the Golden Temple in
Amritsar, leading to the death of more than 400 people and injuring hundreds. The Sikh community was deeply
shocked, and the suffering has remained etched in their memories.

Nijjar’s murder is the third targeted killing of Khalistan leaders outside India. He was head of the Khalistan
Tiger Force (KTF) and an active member of the United States-based group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ); both
organizations are pursuing an independent Sikh homeland. Since 2022, SFJ has been conducting referendums
in Canada and elsewhere in support of Khalistan. The Indian government claims that Canada’s failure to ban
groups like KTF and SFJ compromises India’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security.

Canada has 6M
so0Rfar refused to stop the referendums, and India’s current Hindu populist regime remains
tr-5T2U7O5N8M
intolerant of any dissenting voices, especially from minority communities. The Nijjar episode is the latest in
the ongoing saga between India and Canada over the Khalistan movement. The Indian state has taken little

action to convict those behind the violence against the Sikh community or to enter into a truth and
reconciliation process with the community.

The fraught history between India and the Khalistan movement continues to impact international relations,
especially with countries housing Sikh diaspora like Canada. The demands for a separate Sikh homeland and
the subsequent violent and non-violent movements have left deep scars in the Sikh community, both within and
outside India. The recent events and allegations have only added to the tension, highlighting the need for
dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation between the involved parties.

Passage (Q.85-Q.96): The ketogenic, or keto, diet has gained significant attention as a potential weight loss
strategy, characterized by a low-carb, high-protein, and high-fat intake, placing the body in a state called
ketosis. In ketosis, the body breaks down fat stores and produces ketones to be used as fuel, correlating with
the diet's ability to induce rapid weight loss. However, the safety and efficacy of the keto diet, especially in the
long term, are subjects of fierce debate due to potential risks and benefits.

The keto diet works by depleting carbohydrates, reducing carbohydrate levels to 10 percent or less of the total
daily caloric intake, limiting protein to 20 percent, with fat making up the rest. This depletion places the body
in ketosis, a metabolic state characterized by a lack of glucose in the body. When carbohydrates are scarce, the
body first pulls stored glucose from the liver and temporarily breaks down muscle to release glucose. If this
continues for 3-4 days and stored glucose is fully depleted, the body begins to use fat as its primary fuel,
producing ketone bodies from stored fat, which can be used in the absence of glucose.

o m
Despite the diet's popularity and its proven ability to induce rapid weight loss, there are concerns about its

c
safety and the long-term effects. The dietary habits and restrictions associated with the diet have been proven

rs .
to be detrimental to health, leading to chronic diseases such as heart disease and some cancers, and can lead to
nutrient deficiencies and prove difficult to sustain long-term. The diet may increase the risk of diabetes and
heart attack due to intense fat consumption needed to get the body into ketosis. Additionally, the diet's

saturated fats.

emphasis on high-fat foods can lead to unhealthy eating habits, such as over-indulging in processed meats and

A common misconception associated with the keto diet is that carbs are bad and contribute to weight gain.

such as rice, oats, and fruits that provide essential nutrients diet. To adopt the keto diet would mean
almost entirely excluding a food group from one’s diet, giving up essential nutrients and most importantly,
fiber.

To
While the keto diet can lead to rapid weight loss, it is not a safe or necessary option for weight loss long-term;
other diets are just as effective while being more sustainable, and safer without promoting restrictive dieting.
The lack of sustainability of the diet is also attributed to the restrictive fashion of the diet in which people are
consuming an extremely low amount of carbohydrates in their diet. The opportunity costs of eliminating this
food group also include a loss of key nutrients and fiber which offer important health benefits.

Passage (Q.97-Q.108): The term “global warming” was first known to have appeared in print on Aug. 8,
1975, in a paper by geochemist Wallace Broecker in the journal Science, marking the beginning of public

n
discourse on the subject. However, the term and the concept received little attention in the immediate years

a
following its publication. Today, the discourse has evolved, and terms like “climate change,” “climate crisis,”

impacts. tr-5E2J7C5D8I

o
The term “global warming” initially had a slow start in media citations but gained traction in the late ‘80s,

T
especially after NASA physicist and astronomer James E. Hansen’s emphatic testimony before the Senate
about its dangers in 1988. This period also marked the beginning of noticeable global temperature increases,
making the term and the concept more relevant to the public. The term “climate change” was introduced to
encompass a broader range of environmental problems, including droughts, floods, superstorms, and wildfires,
and has since gained widespread usage, with over 10,000 mentions in the media.

United Nations Secretary General António Guterres has recently used the term “climate breakdown,”
emphasizing the severity and urgency of the environmental crisis. This term, along with “climate crisis,” has
6M0R
5T2U7O5N8M
gained popularity as the environmental situation has become increasingly dire. However, the term “global
tr-

weirding,” coined by environmentalist Hunter Lovins in 2007, has not gained much traction due to its playful
nature and lack of specificity.

The evolution of climate-related terminology reflects the growing understanding and acknowledgment of
environmental issues. The choice of words can influence public perception and response to the climate crisis,
with terms like “climate breakdown” and “climate crisis” conveying a sense of urgency and severity. However,
addressing climate change requires more than just words; it necessitates collective action to mitigate its
impacts and adapt to a changing environment.

Passage (Q.109-Q.120): The Asian Games, which were opened on September 23 by Chinese President Xi
Jinping in Hangzhou following a spectacular opening ceremony on a scale that has now come to be expected
from China, are meant to showcase a broader message of Asian solidarity. The days leading up to the opening

ceremony of the 19th edition were, however, marked by anything but. The day before the opening, Union

Sports Minister Anurag Thakur cancelled his visit to China as a mark of protest to the last-minute denial of

c
entry to three Indian Wushu players from Arunachal Pradesh. The three athletes — Nyeman Wangsu, Onilu

rs .
Tega and Mepung Lamgu — were given the accreditation needed to travel along with the rest of the Indian
team for the Games. However, in what appears to be a directive issued to the airline by China, the athletes were
told they could not board their flight. China has in the past issued stapled visas to Indians from Arunachal

k e
Pradesh. Only in July, three wushu players from Arunachal Pradesh, due to take part in the World University
Games in Chengdu, were issued stapled visas. In this instance, the decision to bar the athletes appears
particularly vindictive as visas were not needed to travel for athletes issued digital accreditations. Indian

officials believe Beijing thus went out of its way to bar their travel by instructing the airline to not allow them
to board. The Ministry of External Affairs in a statement described the action as “targeted and pre-meditated”.

T
Both then and now, the organisers have appeared more than happy to look the other way given China’s status
as both a willing host and strong financial backer of such events. The acting President of the Olympic Council
of Asia, Randhir Singh, who met with President Xi in Hangzhou, in remarks to journalists chose not to call out
the denial of entry to athletes, instead only saying the matter was being discussed. Beyond the Asian Games,
the latest Chinese action serves as a reminder of the current distrust in bilateral relations, as well as of the
absence of adequate channels of communication to deal with long-persisting thorny issues, including visas.
New Delhi has correctly made clear that restoring normalcy in relations will not be possible without
completing the disengagement process along the Line of Actual Control and restoring peace in border areas.
