Read the passage carefully
and answer the questions that follow the passage.
The term middle class is a
classic example of semantic conspiracy. It has been misused, twisted and
straight– jacketed into something essentially evil. It has become fashionable
to use the term pejoratively. It is a legacy of the Victorian era that is long
past us. Why we are still stuck with this linguistic monstrosity?
The
rich are busy counting their cash. They do not bother about what others say
about them. The poor are the darling of the political class and social
scientists, and the intelligentsia. They are always struggling to make both
ends meet. Then we are left with the middle class, which has no patrons or
godfathers because it minds its own business. These people do not have political
clout as they are suspected of abstaining from voting during elections. No
wonder the middle class has become the whipping boy of many politicians and commentators.
In
Nazi Germany, it was easy to kill a person by merely calling him a Jew. In
India, it is easy to demonise a movement by labeling it as a ‘middle class’ phenomenon.
Some ruling party politicians tried to rubbish Anna Hazare’s anti–corruption
movement as a middle class movement have no right to protest. Is political
legitimacy the birth right of only the rich and the poor?
It
has become fashionable to deride the “middle class mentality” without even
bothering to think what they really mean. Yes, the middle classes are
conservative. They believe in incremental changes. But they are also progressive
in many respects. They embrace change more easily than others. They hate
violence and provide stability and order to society. The middle classes may not
be politically active, but many of them are RTI activists, members of public– spirited
NGOs, and public interest litigants who have exposed corruption and defended
the rights of the common man.
68) In
the view of the author, the middle class in India
1. have lackadaisical
attitude towards politics.
2. are
selfish.
3. have
no political power but only bureaucratic authority.
Which of the views of the author mentioned above, are appropriate
in the context of the passage?
a) Only 1 b) Only 2 and 3
c) All the above d) None of
the above
69) Consider
the following statements–
1. The
movement of Anna Hazare against corruption has been dismissed by the govt. as
the agitation of a middle class only but not of the rich and the poor.
2. It
has become a fashionable thing to hail the ‘middle class’ mentality.
According to the passage, which of the above is definitely right
or wrong?
a) Only 1 is right b) Only 2
is right
c) Only 1 is wrong d) Only 2
is wrong
70) The
term ‘middle class’, according to the author, is nothing but a
a) linguistic intrigue.
b) convenient usage for the
politicians.
c) consoling wording for the
