The
real indictment against colonialism was to be found in the villages of India.
There was rot at the top. The towns and cities were full of unhappy young
people. These cultured and educated could find no jobs. They were not allowed
by the system to create them. The real misery was in the villages. A great deal
of poverty could be seen in China. But it seemed the Chinese peasant was rich
in comparison. Only the Russian peasant could compare with the Indian villager.
Russian was very different, and inferior in many ways. For the Indian peasant
was like the Chinese in being a person innately civilized.
QUESTION
1. What
is the target of the writer’s condemnation?
2. That
does the writer say about the employment scene?
3. Who

4. Use
the following words in sentences: Poverty and misery
OR
Write a precis of the
following passage a and give a suitable title:
Breathing
is perhaps the most important biological function of the human body. A man can
live for days without water. Only a few minutes without air would cause death.
The relationship between life and breath is obviously very close. Practically
all the activities of the human organism are closely linked to breathing. It
exercises a decisive effect on our state of health. It shapes our mental
condition and even our life- Span. According to Indian philosophy, everyman is
given a certain number of breaths. If he breathes hastily, he will soon exhaust
the supply of breathe. One enjoys long life if he lives peacefully and breathes
gently.
