Question Paper Version: AFor: Azim Premji UniversitySection 1 – Reading ComprehensionNo. of Questions: 20Direction for questions 1-5:Read the passage and answer the questions that followon the basis of the information provided in the passage.The hero worship of great men is taking a verydangerous turn in India, with its nascent patriotism andpowerful foreign rule. We have already produced onegreat mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan, and hisname is bandied about with the utmost pride by peoplehere who have not had the energy nor the intelligence tomaster a single one of Ramanujan’s papers. In fact, thehistory is tragic. Ramanujan’s intellect was stifled by thetreatment he received here, and he died at the age ofthirty-five, of tuberculosis brought on by overwork and bymalnutrition in his formative years. The best job that hecould get was that of a clerk in the Madras Port Trust.The mathematical training that he received was given inEngland, where there was one mathematician, G. H.Hardy, intelligent enough to recognize merit; no one inIndia could claim half as much!.The effect ofRamanujan’s work was felt and manifested in the furtherresearches of British workers, but nowhere in India,because it was much easier to worship a hero than tostudy his works.-- D. D. Kosambi, “An Introduction to Lectures onDialectical Materialism,” 1943.1) According to the author, the mathematicianRamanujan wasA) Treated cruelly by his compatriots even .B) Not praised enough by his compatriots, eventhough they gave him a job.C) Not treated for the tuberculosis that he contracteddue to overwork and malnutrition.D) Unappreciated by his compatriots even thoughthey hailed him as a hero.2) The author says that the attitude of Indians withrespect to Ramanujan’s achievements is one ofA)B)C)D)Boundless patriotism.Baseless boasting.Blind prejudice.Ignorant idol-worship.3) Most probably, the author regards hero worship inIndia as being “dangerous” becauseA) It is brought on by anxiety about the lack of realtalent in the country.B) Combined with ignorance, it is likely to causecommunal disturbances in the country.C) Combined with ignorance, it is likely to lead tofalse pride in the country.D) It shows up an ugly side of the Indian psyche.4) The author’s attitude towards the people who bandyabout Ramanujan’s name with utmost pride is one ofA)B)C)D)ContemptConcernCompassionCaution5) By ‘stifled’ is edDirection for questions 6-10:Read the passage and answer the questions thatfollow on the basis of the information provided in thepassage.Having stated the facts, let me now state the case forsocial reform. In doing this, I will follow Mr. Bonnerji asnearly as I can, and ask the politically-minded Hindus,Are you fit for political power even though you do notallow a large number of your own countrymen like theuntouchables to use public schools? Are you fit forpolitical power even though you do not allow them theuse of public wells? Are you fit for political power eventhough you do not allow them the use of publicstreets? Are you fit for political power even though youdo not allow them to wear what apparel andornaments they like? Are you fit for political powereven though you do not allow them to eat any foodthey like? I can ask a string of such questions. Butthese will suffice I am sure no sensible man willhave the courage to give an affirmative answer. EveryCongressman who repeats the dogma of Mill that onecountry is not fit to rule another country, must admitthat one class is not fit to rule another class.-- Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, “The Annihilation of Caste,”1935.Page 2 of 16Set: 51671 5

The prevalentWestern perception of arranged marriages as a premodern social system is based both on ignorance ofarranged marriage and on a lack of insight intoWestern norms To varying degrees, each arrangedmarriage is influenced by filial and social pressures onthe agency of the would-be couple. But so areWestern marriages, in form. In romantic love too,social class, education, profession, religion (factorsthat are deeply influenced by family), all mediate andshape attraction and compatibility. The social realitywe are raised in shapes our freedom to choosepartners, even to feel desire Couples in arrangedmarriages often find romance in family-initiatedintroductions because it speaks to their broader valuesystem. For many, it is a smarter, more spiritual formof love because it prioritises collective will andemotional labour over sexual impulse and selfishindividuality Badiou’s definition of true love astransgressive and disruptive is limiting, idealistic anddismissive of the cultures and experiences of mostpeople in the world. It gets in the way of understandinghow love can be expressed and experienced withineven the most seemingly ‘traditional’ practices.--Farhad Mirza, “Love in a Time of Migrants:Rethinking Arranged Marriages.” Aeon magazine,November 2018. (Slightly modified from the original.)11) According to the author, people in Westerncountries fail to comprehendA) How satisfied married people in migrantcommunities areB) The norms of behavior of people in migrantcommunitiesC) How arranged marriages make possible theexpression and experience of loveD) The fact that arranged marriages and lovemarriages rest on basically the same valuesystem

But in 1991 and 1992, Abas and a team of local nurses and social workers visited200 households in Glen Norah, a low-income, highdensity district in southern Harare. They contactedchurch leaders, housing officials, traditional healersand other local organisations, gaining their trust andtheir permission to interview a large number ofresidents. Although there was no equivalent word fordepression in Shona, the most common language inZimbabwe, Abas found that there were local idiomsthat seemed to describe the same symptoms.Through discussions with traditional healers and localhealth workers, her team found that kufungisisa, or‘thinking too much’, was the most common descriptorfor emotional distress. This is very similar to theEnglish word ‘rumination’ that describes the negativethought patterns that often lie at the core of depressionand anxiety “Although all of the socioeconomicconditions were different from where I had workedearlier, in the U.K.,” Abas says, “I was seeing what Irecognised as pretty classical depression.” Usingterms such as kufungisisa as screening tools, Abasand her team found that depression was nearly twiceas common as in a similar community in the U.K. Itwasn’t just a case of headaches or pains, either—there was the lack of sleep and loss of appetite. A lossof interest in once enjoyable activities. And, a deepsadness (kusuwisisa) that is somehow separate fromnormal sadness (suwa).--Alex Riley, “How a Wooden Bench in Zimbabwe isStarting a Revolution in Mental Health,” Mosaicmagazine, October 2018.
