Directions for Questions (11 - 14): Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Why am I an Indian? I did not have any choice. I was born one. If the good Lord had consulted me on the subject, I might have chosen a country more affluent, less crowded, less censorious in matters of food and drink, unconcerned with personal equations and free of religious bigotry. Am I proud of being an Indian? I can’t really answer this one. I can scarcely take credit for the achievements of my forefathers. And I have little reason to be proud of what we are doing today. On balance, I would say, ‘No, I am not proud of being an Indian’. ‘Why don’t you get out and settle in some other country?’ Once again I have very little choice. All the countries I might like to settle in have restricted quotas for emigrants, most of them are whites and have a prejudice against colored people. In any case, I feel more relaxed and at home in India. I dislike many things in my country – mostly the government. I know the government is not the same thing as the country, but it never stops trying to appear in that garb. This is where I belong and this is where I intend to live and die. Of course, I like going abroad. Living is easier, wine and food is better, women more forthcoming – it’s more fun. However, I soon get tired of all those things and want to get back to my dung-heap and be among my loud-mouthed, sweaty, smelly countrymen. I am like my kinsmen in Africa and England and elsewhere. My head tells me it’s better to live abroad, my belly tells me it is more fulfilling to be in ‘phoren’ but my heart tells me ‘get back to India’. Each time I return home and drive through the stench of bare-bottomed defecators that line the road from Cruz airport to the city I ask myself, Breathes there the man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said This is my own, my native land? I can scarcely breathe, but I yell, ‘Yeah, this is my native land. I don’t like it, but I love it’. Are you an Indian first and a Punjabi or Sikh second? Or is it the other way round? I don’t like the way these questions are framed and if I am denied my Punjabi ness or my community tradition, I would refuse to call myself Indian. I am Indian, Punjabi and Sikh. And even so I have a patriotic kinship with one who says I am ‘Indian, Hindu and Haryanvi’ or ‘I am Indian, Moplah Muslim and Malayali.’ I want to retain my religious and linguistic identity without making them exclusive in anyway. I am convinced that in our guaranteed diversity is our strength as a nation. As son as you try to obliterate regional language in favor of one ‘national’ language or religion, in the name of some particular Indian credo, you will destroy the unity of the country. Twice was our Indian=ness challenged. In 1962 by the Chinese and in 1965 by the Pakistanis. Then despite our many differences of language, religion and faith, we rose as one to defend our country. In the ultimate analysis, it is the consciousness of frontiers that makes a nation. We have proved that we are one nation. What then is this talk about Indianising people who are already Indian? and has anyone any right to arrogate to himself the right to decide who is and who is not a good Indian? What does the author talk about?

Discuss
- A.
  
  Self reliance
- B.
  
  Expression of self
- C.
  
  Latent feelings
- D.
  
  A genius

The ‘love’ is for business as benefactor: Governments now realized that business, and only business, can provide the jobs that provide the paychecks that provide government with the two things it needs to keep going – the tax money that pays for service, and a sense of prosperity that translates as votes. The ‘toughness’ is for business as beseecher: Governments, with a few exceptions, now realize that protecting business enterprises creates bloated companies unable to compete in global markets.

You have to choose one of them as your answer to the question or the argument.The Committee of Governmental Experts which worked out the model Provisions did not lose sight of the necessity of maintaining a proper balance between protection against abuses of expressions of folklore, on the one hand, and of the freedom and encouragement of further development and dissemination of folklore, on the other. The Committee took into account that expressions of folklore formed a living body of human culture which should not be stifled by very rigid protection. It also considered that any protecting system should be practicable and effective, rather than a system of imaginative requirements, unworkable in reality? Which of the following can be an inference drawn from this paragraph?

Discuss
- A.
  
  The Committee has made efforts to reduce the tautness of the laws made for the protection of expression of folklore
- B.
  
  Expressions of folklore are now entirely dependent on the Model provisions
- C.
  
  The Committee’s intention is to negotiate the protection of expressions of folklore and their humanistic elements
- D.
  
  The Committee intends to make the Model Provisions a separate law in itself

Directions for Questions (26 - 30): In each of the following questions, there is a paragraph followed by an argument or a question and four conclusions marked as (a), (b), (c) and (d). You have to choose one of them as your answer to the question or the argument.As population continues to grow, it becomes necessary in due course of time to cultivate the land of still poorer quality – land of the third grade. In such a situation, the second grade land also yields rent while the first grade land yields still higher rent, being equal to the difference between the value of the produce raised in superior lands and that of the third grade land. If population continues to grow, the third grade land will also become a rent-land, fourth grade land taking the place of the marginal or no – rent land. Thus, the basic cause of the emergence and growth of rent can be traced to the growing difficulty of raising food to support the population which is constantly growing. Which of the following can be a continuation of this paragraph?

Discuss
- A.
  
  Corn raised over different kinds of land is sold in the same market at the same price
- B.
  
  Often, additional doses of labor and capital are applied to land already under cultivation instead of taking up new land
- C.
  
  This difference in rent emerges both in the case of extensive as well as intensive cultivation
- D.
  
  As population increases, the demand for food, too, grows which is followed by the growth of rent

Such centralized or star networks may be one – level, with terminals on multipoint lines radiating from the central facility, or two – level, with terminals connected to regional concentrators, which in turn are linked to the central site. For switched long – haul data communications, involving interactions between many pairs of subscribers, packet switching has emerged as the dominant technology. Packet-switching networks employ a distributed network of nodes so that packets of data flowing between many subscriber pairs can dynamically share the expensive wideband leased long-distance telephone circuits between the nodes. Which of the following is true, according to the paragraph?

Discuss

  Packet – switching is one of the most important technologies in computer networking
- B.
