1. (a) Attempt a précis of the following passage:
Differences, big or small, can always be noticed even within a
national group, however closely bound together it may be. The
essential unity of that group becomes apparent when it is compared
to another national group, though often the differences between
two adjoining groups fade out or intermingle near the frontiers) and
modern developments are tending to produce a certain uniformity
everywhere. In ancient and medieval times, the idea of the modern
nation was non-existent, and feudal, religious, racial, or cultural
bonds had more importance.
Qet I think that at almost any time
in recorded history an Indian would have felt more or less at home
in any part of India and would have felt as a stranger and alien in
any other country.) He would certainly have felt less of a stranger
in countries which had partly adopted its culture or religion. Those
who professed a religion of non-Indian origin, or, coming to India,
settled down here, became distinctively Indian in the course of a
few generations, such as Christians, Jews, Parsees, Muslims. Indian
converts to some of these religions never ceased to be Indian, on
account of a change of their faith. They were looked upon in other
countries as Indians and foreigners, even though there might have
been a community of faith between them. (217 words
