SECTION-B (2 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
What is a democratic government to do in a country where people are steeped
in ignorance and superstition, where there is opposition or resistance to even
mild reforms from vested interests in society? It can be said that if the
government is to go by consent or consensus it will not be able to do anything.
Could the government ever get the consent or consensus of the people for
abolition of untouchability? But has untouchability been really abolished?
Frankly speaking, even now the code of Manu is in operation, the large part of
code thus prepared.
No law, perhaps, can come into full operation unless it is acceptable to
the people. And, it is not necessary to say that acceptability cannot come
without conviction. The government had been taking measure after measure to
change the socio-economic structure to remove disparities, social and
economic. Not that all the measures have gone in vain. Feudalism has been
abolished; gates of universities, legislatures, government service, etc. have
been thrown open to all castes and communities, exploitation of the weaker
section of the people has been considerably reduced.
But there has been no change in the outlook of the people. Politicians and
administrators still behave like feudal lords: corruption, favouritism and
nepotism have not shown any sign of abatement; faith in caste system and all
that it may stand for has not weakened. In one word, independence,
democracy etc. have not shattered the age-old beliefs and conviction. No
wonder the blind is leading the blind.

a) educated b) steeped in ignorance and
superstition

a) untouchability b) favouritism and nepotism
