Our country gave birth to a mighty soul and he shone like a beacon not only for India but also for the whole world.
And yet he was done to death by one of our own brothers and compatriots. How did this happen? You might think
that it was an act of madness, but that does not explain this tragedy. It could only occur because the seed for it was
sown in the poison of hatred and enmity that spread throughout the country and affected so many of our people. Out
of that seed grew this poisonous plant. It is the duty of all of us to fight this poison of hatred and ill-will. If we have
learnt anything from Gandhiji, we must bear no ill or enmity towards any person. The individual is not our enemy; it is
the poison within him that we must fight and which we must put an end to.
Read the above passage carefully and answer the following questions :-
1) Who is “the mighty soul“referred to in the passage?
2) Why was he done to death?
What do we learn from Gandhiji?
3) What should we fight against in the individual?
4) What is the poison referred to in this passage?
