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 a 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 age-old 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 renaming them Harijans.
-Mr. Ruthnasami
