Question

II.Read the passage and answer the following:
Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our
pledge, are wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour,
when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A Moment comes, which comes but
rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul
of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the
pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.
At the dawn of history, India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries were filled
with her striving and the grandeur of our success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune
alike, she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals, which gave her strength. We in
today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again the achievement we celebrate today
is but a step, and opening of opportunity, to the greater trims and achievements that await us. Are
we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?
- Jawaharlal Nehru
