Read the
following passage carefully and answer questions 56
to 60 :
Traditional
Indian Values must be viewed both from the angle of the individual and from that
of the geographically delimited agglomeration of peoples or groups enjoying a
common system of leadership which we call the ‘State’. The Indian ‘State’s’
special feature is the peaceful, or perhaps mostly peaceful, co-existence of
social groups of various historical provenances which mutually adhere in a
geographical, economic, and political sense, without ever assimilating to each
other in social terms, in ways of thinking, or even in language. Modern Indian
law will determine certain rules, especially in relation to the regime of the
family, upon the basis of how the loin-cloth is tied, or how the turban is
worn, for this may identify the litigants as members of a regional group, and
therefore as participants in its traditional law, though their ancestors left
the region three or four centuries earlier. The use of the word ‘State’ above
must not mislead us. There was no such thing as a conflict between the
individual and the State, atleast before
foreign governments became established, just as there was no concept of state
‘sovereignty’ or of any church-and-state dichotomy. Modern Indian ‘secularism’
has an admittedly peculiar feature : It requires the state to make a fair
distribution of attention and support amongst all religions. These blessed
aspects of India’s famed tolerance (Indian kings so rarely persecuted religious
groups that the exceptions prove the rule) at once struck Portuguese and other
European visitors to the West Coast of India in the sixteenth century, and the
impression made upon them in this and other ways gave rise, at one remove, to
the basic constitution of Thomas More’s Utopia. There is little about modern
India that strikes one at once as Utopian : but the insistence upon the
inculcation of norms, and the absence of bigotry and institutionalized
exploitation of human or natural resources, are two very different features
which link the realities of India and her tradition with the essence of all Utopians.
