Q. No. (1-4) Read the following
passage
Bayaji was a Mahar by caste and
according to age-old custom he should have greeted Bhujaba with 'My humble
salutations to you, sir, who are my father and mother.' So, when Bayaji merely
said 'Greetings.' Bhujaba became furious and said, 'Do you think you can become
a Brahmin merely by saying "Greetings"? Can you forget your position
simply because you've turned a Buddhist?'
Bayaji
was nonplussed. For a moment, he was tempted to knock him down with his box but
realised that he couldn't afford to do so. Besides, now he had come back to his
village for good. He was to spend the rest of his days on this soil and would
be interred in the same soil. He would not be able to return to Pune or Bombay
hereafter. It was not a good policy to incur the hostility of anyone in the
village, least so of the Patil, the village headman.

their hearts out.

Bayaji was badly burnt and he was in

Q. No. (17-21). Read the following passage
carefully.
But in
today’s world, everybody talks much about his rights. There is a great hue and
cry if our rights are infringed. But nobody seems to bother much about his
duties. That is why there is a great unrest in our present-day life. Actually,
duties come first, and rights afterwards. Many a time, one man’s right is
another man’s duty and vice versa for example every man has the right to have
an undisturbed sleep. So it becomes the duty of his neighbour not to tune his
TV volume at too high pitch. If we want to enjoy our rights, we should act in
such a way that the rights of other are not trespassed. It can happen only if
we take due account of our duties also. In short rights and duties are
complementary things and not contradictory. The real ideal should be to do the
duty without bothering about the rights. This will give peace to our mind and
the life will be free from tension.
