Q:81
Read the following passage carefully and wer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while wering some of the questions.
Paragraph 1: On our 72nd Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that by 2022 we may expect the Tricolor to be unfurled in space. Even as he was announcing this from the ramparts of Red Fort in New Delhi, parts of the country were faced with flooding, due partly to water released from dams following exceptional rain. Previously we had witnessed lynchings, mostly over a wide swathe of north India from Uttar Pradesh to Jharkhand but not entirely absent in the south. Mobs had attacked persons either on their own or in small groups, with the victims in every case having been unarmed and acting without any provocation. The victims have been Dalits and Muslims engaged in the cattle trade, middle aged single women accused of witchcraft, and migrant labourers allegedly trafficking in children. It is not difficult to see a majoritarianism in this as the victims are from the most marginalized sections of the country, left without protection by the state.
Paragraph 2: These incidents are incongruous with the claim of India being a long-lived civilization, but it is the incongruity of such outcomes with democracy that holds out some hope for ending them. For while civilizational norms may place restrictions on individual action, democratic norms singularly protect the individual’s inalienable right to life and liberty and place upon the state the responsibility of advancing it. Coercion in any form may be allowed only of the state, and the Indian state must now be called upon to discharge its bounden duty. The governance imperative in a democracy does not end with promoting the ease of doing business. Emphasizing a space program as an objective while failing to highlight the multiple failings of public policy in India makes a mockery of the democratic project, the principal object of which is the creation of enabling conditions for a valuable life. These conditions result from protecting natural capital, building public goods in the form of physical infrastructure, providing a public education and health service, and creating institutions that support individual aspirations. This is the democratic agenda. When political parties pursue projects that evoke national prestige in the form of space missions, they mask the principal task for which they have been elected in the first place, which, it bears repeating, is to enable people to lead flourishing lives.
Paragraph 3: The pursuit of high science by the Government of India had started quite early after 1947 when it embarked on a program of harnessing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The Atomic Energy Commission was formed and treated with reverence. The difference this has made to the power situation in the country is not clear. Independent experts at the Indian Statistical Institute point out that nuclear power is costly. But we also know that the alternative — of burning coal — is not just polluting but contributes to global warming and climate change, with catastrophic consequences. However, we need to rely neither on nuclear power or fossil fuel, for we have abundant sunlight in India and some wind power. And the cost of generating solar power is reducing rapidly due to advances in storage technology. The only question is whether we have a science policy that is focused enough to monitor and exploit these trends and a government machinery that is both motivated and adept at facilitating a mass trition to cleaner fuel.
Paragraph 4: Indian agriculture has performed more erratically than usual in the past decade. Given the scale of the public science and technology apparatus in India, especially of agricultural research institutions, there is a visible lack of response to this situation, if not crisis. Development economists recognize that the ’food problem’ does not cease once a country is able to produce food in sufficient quantity. It is necessary to produce food at a cost that is affordable to the mass of the population. It may appear odd to start out speaking of mob lynching and end by flagging the importance of agriculture. Bharat has benefited relatively less from a public policy with a penchant for high science. Today we are paying the price for a policy that generally neglected the majority of the rural Indi who more than anything else needed public services. Equipped with capability — through good health and awareness — the once marginalized would be vulnerable no more. Promising the moon by courting high science while ignoring human development leaves some Indi at the mercy of the mob and India’s democracy diminished in our own estimation.
