Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow (Q. No.
91 to 99) by selecting the most appropriate option.

1. Max Weber laid the foundation for any belief that decent and hard-working people
with high aspirations make great nations, no matter what the odds are. This was the
first piece of the development puzzle for me. Mahatma Gandhi opened my eyes to the
importance of good leadership in raising the aspirations of people, making them accept
sacrifices to achieve a grand vision, and most importantly, in covering that vision into
reality. He unleashed the most powerful instrument for gaining trust leadership by
example. He ate, dressed travelled and lived like the poor. Walking the talk was
extremely important to the Mahatma who understood the pulse of our people like no
other Indian leader. The biggest lesson for me from Gandhi’s book and life is the
importance of leading by example. I realized fairly early that this was the second piece
of the development puzzle.
2. Frantz Fanon’s book on the colonizer mindset of elites in a postcolonial society opened
my eyes to the role of the bureaucracy and the elite in decelerating the progress of the
poor and the disenfranchised. The colonial mindset of the ‘dark elite in white masks’ in
a postcolonial society – the mindset that the ruled and the rulers have different sets of
rights and responsibilities with a huge asymmetry in favour of the rulers – was indeed
the third piece of the development puzzle. I see this attitude of the Indian elite every
day in how they send their children to English medium schools while forcing the
children of the poor into vernacular schools, extol the virtues of poverty while living in
luxury, and glorify the rural life while they sit comfortably in cities.

121 to 129) by selecting the most appropriate option.

1. “Karuna Verma is bewildered. “I don’t know how she did it,” she says about her
mother, Renu Chopra. Karuna’s childhood memories are of her father leaving late for
office so that, by then, her mother would be back from work. Of her parents working in
sync to make sure the kids were well taken care of. Of her mother handling kitchen and
classroom with ease.

2. When her own daughter was born, Karuna too wanted to do the balancing act. But it
did not turn out to be as easy as it seemed. For starters, her parents’ era was different
from hers. As she was living with her husband in Andheri, Mumbai, away from their
families, resuming work would have meant leaving her daughter with a maid while she
was away. Her daughter’s formative years would be spent with an outsider, a thought
that did not appeal to Karuna. He quit her teaching job in a school.

3. For a woman who was encouraged to be independent throughout her life, the decision
to quit and stay at home was a difficult one. Ironically it was her mother who urged her
to quit the job and become a full-time mother. For Karuna, being a housewife is one of
the to the tougher jobs she has had. “I have no time for myself,” says Karuna. “I make
sure all my personal work is done when Avni is asleep. Earlier I had a set routine. My
husband and I used to wake up at 6 a.m. I would re heat the food the maid had cooked
the day before and pack it for lunch. Then we used to head off to work, and at night, we
would go out. I had a lot of time to myself and for my husband them,” says Karuna.

4. The routine is quite different now. Karuna has taken to cooking. She wakes up quite
early and makes sure all work is done before the baby is up. The rest of the day flies by,
pandering to two-year old Avni’s needs.

onw and nothing was scared, from the Headmaster down, and the child, moreover, was
safe from any form of reprisal.
