Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow-
Prafulla Chandra Ray was bom on 2 August 1861 in the district of Jessore, now in
Bangladesh, close to the birthplace of Madhusudan Dutt, widely regarded as the Milton of
Bengal. It was the best of times and the worst. The British had by now perfected their role as
masters and British values permeated the Indian upper classes to the very last detail like table
manners. That of course, was not the worst of the British influence. What was far more
demeaning to the educated Indians - and there were several - was the fact that senior
government positions were closed to them. Being forfeited of one's right in one's land of birth
would become the rallying point for the Indian intelligentsia in the years to come. Ray's father
Harish Chandra Ray, a man of learning and taste, was closely associated with the cultural and
Intellectual leaders of the time and exerted great influence on his son Ray had his early
schooling in the village school founded by his father but soon his father shifted to Calcutta and

sounds - the city seemed to change moods ever so often! His formal schooling was interrupted
