Topic:‐ MMC BA B

1) Read the following passage and answer the question that follow‐

The India that emerged from my early studies had a greatness that I found hugely attractive. And to see, as my education
continued, how that large tradition would be supplemented and further broadened by the reasoning and speculations of
later thinkers (from Jayadeva and Madhavacharya to Kabir and Abul Faz’l) was all together thrilling for me. If the greatness
of the heritage captivated me, the attempts to redefine Indian culture to narrow, sectarian perspectives seemed to me to
be immensely distressing. There was a lot of that going on when my school days were coming to an end and undivided India
was becoming suddenly covered with competing versions of narrow‐mindedness, along with accompanying intolerance,
communal animosity and bloodshed.

The understanding that human identity does not demand a singular confinement, came to me quite powerfully from the
ancient classics. (Amartya Sen, The Country of First Boys. 2015)
