Question

I. Read the following passage carefully :
In the last few years, I have noticed a tendency in the media, in the Government, and in society to give undue importance and much publicity to commercial successes, foreign investment, Sensex, profits in the IT sector, new billionaires and such matters, like nowhere else in the world. Great recognition is given to salaried IIM graduates. There are frequent competitions in the media to pick the most popular personality in the country or in any given city. The choices given are so skewed that only sports personalities, cine stars, and business leaders hit the spotlight. Nowhere in the world do sportsmen earn as much as in India through sponsorship. The heroes of today, therefore, appear to be those who have made big money or have been successful in commercial ventures. Nobody can be jealous or critical of these things, but it is a matter of concern that repeated recognitions of this sort have affected our value system seriously and changed it into one that is mercenary and commercial. This situation does not augur well for the future of our country.
With all the difficulties that we have had in the last few decades, India has continued to progress as one country, by and large because of Indianness. Indianness involves aspects other than money and commercial successes. Furthermore, if we want India of the future to be a country that is advanced in all spheres, we have to take greater pride in intellectual and creative accomplishments. It is, therefore, important that our leaders, politicians, intellectuals, teachers and others should talk about these matters in public and highlight our innovations in science, arts and literature, theatre and other aspects related to human creativity.
One is not asking for monetary support here, but a moral support, and a commitment of society to all spheres of creative activity so that a balanced future for our country is assured. As a country with great traditions, as well as cultural and philosophical content, we cannot forget this aspect. We see young people making money and are hardly concerned about other matters. There is still a chance for us to develop a country of a different kind.
