1. Read the following passage and make notes in an appropriate format: (15)
The Voice had to be listened to, not only on account of its form but for the matter which
it delivered. It gave a message to the country that it needed greatly. It brought to the
common people a realization of their duty to concern themselves with their affairs. The
common, people were made to take an interest in the manner in which they were
governed in the taxes they paid in the return they got from those taxes. This interest in
public affairs – politics as you may call it – was to be the concern no longer of the highly
educated few but of the many – the poor, the propertyless, the workingmen in town and
country. Politics was not to be the concern of a small aristocracy of intellect property of
the masses. And with the change in the subjects of politics that Voice bought about also
a change in the objects of polities. Till then politics had busied itself mainly with the
machinery of Government towards making its personnel more and more native, with
proposals for a better distribution of political power, with protests against the sins of
omission and of commission of the administration. This Voice switched politics on to
concern for the needs of the common people. The improvement of the lot of the poor
was to be the main concern of politics and the politician. The improvement, especially of
the lives of the people of the neglected villages, was to be Placed before Governments
and political organizations as the goal of all political endeavour. The raising of the
standard of living of the people of the villages, the finding of subsidiary occupations
which would give the agricultural poor work for their enforced leisure during the off
season and an addition to (heir exiguous income, the improvement of the housing of the
poor, the sanitation, of the villages – these were to be the objectives to be kept in view.
In the towns, the slums and cherries were to receive especial attention. There was
especially a class of the poor for which that compassionate Voice pleaded and
protested. This was for the so-called depressed class, the outcastes of Hindu society.
The denial of elementary human rights to this class of people it considered the greatest
blot on Hindu society and history. It raised itself in passionate protest against the ageold wrongs of this class and forced those that listened to it to endeavour to remove the
most outrageous of them like untouchability. It caused a revolution in Hindu religious
practice by having Hindu temples thrown open to these people. It made the care of
them a religious duty of the Hindus by re-naming them Harijans.
-Mr. Ruthnasami
