Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows: (5x1=5)
In our country was born a mighty soul and he shone like a beacon not only for India but also for
the whole world. Yet he was assassinated 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-will or enmity towards any person. The individual is not our enemy, it is the poison
within him that we 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 assassinated?
3. What do we learn from Gandhiji?
4. What should we fight against in the individual?
5. What is the poison referred to in this passage?
