Read the following passage and answer the question.
India today presents a very mixed picture of hope and anguish of remarkable advances and at the same time of inertia; of a new spirit and also the dead hand of the past and of privileges; of an overall and growing unity and many disruptive tendencies. Withal there is a great vitality and ferment in people’s minds and activities. It is a remarkable thing that a country and a people rooted in this remote past, who have shown so much resistance to change in the past, should now be marching forward rapidly and with resolute steps. What will emerge from the labour and the tumults of the present generation? I cannot say what tomorrow’s India will be like, I can only express my hope and wishes. I want India to advance on the material plane – to fulfil her Five Year Plans to raise the standard of living of her vast population: I want the narrow conflicts of today in the name of religion or caste, language or province to cease, and a classless and casteless society to be built up where every individual has full opportunity to grow according to his worth and ability. In particular, I hope that the curse of caste will be ended for there is neither democracy nor socialism on the basis of caste.
