The Voice had to be listened to not only on account of its form but for the man
which it delivered. It gave a message to the country that it needed greatly. It brought
the common people a realization of their duty to concern themselves with their alla .
ine common people were made to take an interest in the manner in which they were
governed, in the taxes they paid, in the return they got from those taxes. This interest
public artairs-politics as you may call it was to be the concern no longer of the highly
educated tew but of the many—the poor, the propertyless, the workingmen in town and
country, Politics was not to be the concem of a small aristocracy of intellect or property of the
masses. And with the change in the subjects of politics that Voice brought about also a change in
the objects of politics. Till then politics had busled Itself mainly with the machinery of Government
towards making its personnel more and more native, with proposals for a better distribution of political
power, with protests against the sins of omission and of commission of the administration. This Voice
switched politics on to concern for the needs of the common people. The Improvement of the lot of the poor was
to be the main concern of politics and the politician. The improvement, especially of the lives of the people of the one
neglected villages, was to be placed before Governments and political organizations as the goal of all political
endeavour. The raising of the standard of living of the people of the villages, the finding of subsidiary occupations
which would give the agricultural poor work for their enforced leisure during the off season and an addition to thel-
exiguous Income, the improvement of the housing of the poor, the sanitation of the villages-these were to be the
objectives to be kept in view. In the towns, the slums and cheries were to receive especial attention. There was
espeolally a class of the poor for whloh that compassionate Voice ploaded and protested. This was for the so-called
depressed class, the outcastes of Hindu society. The denial of elementary human rights to this class of people la
considered the greatest blot on Hindu society and history. It raised itself in passionate protest against the age-ola
wrongs of this class and forced those that listened to it to endeavour to remove the most outrageous of them like
untouchability. It caused a revolution in Hindu religious practice by having Hindu temples thrown open to these
people I made the care of them a religious duty of the Hindus by re-naming them Harljans.

Answers
Answer:
Because he spoke the voice of a common man
Answer:
- Mahatma Gandhi's voice offers a crucial message that everyone in that country must live, thus the people had to pay attention to it. It sends a message to the readers reminding them of their responsibility to take care of their own concerns.
- The ordinary people were encouraged to become politically engaged so that they would care about the numerous poor and landless working men in cities and rural areas rather than the few highly educated individuals. Additionally, it states that politics were not to be the domain of the public or a limited intellectual nobility. And The Voice has brought about a transformation along with the shift in political topics.
- The improvement of the poor is the shift that politics has undergone. The Government and political organizations were to prioritize bettering the lives of the abandoned villages.
- The advancements made for regular people include:
- the raising of residents' living standards
- The identification of ancillary professions that would provide the agricultural underclass with employment for their compelled spare time during the off-season in addition to their precarious income
- the upgrading of poor people's dwellings
- villages' sanitation, etc.
5. a)Sins of omission are actions you COULD take but choose not to
take
- Example: The sin of omission occurs when I should observe the
Sabbath but fail to do so.
- Sins of commission, on the other hand, are things you SHOULD
NOT have done but nevertheless have done. Example: Being
disloyal to your spouse constitutes adultery.
- Both are regarded as offences of equal "importance." Neither is
superior to nor inferior to the other. In reality, you can never claim
to have led a faultless life because of the sin of omission. To love
the Lord with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength is
something the Lord commands. You've never done it
before, have you? Therefore, even if we don't actively sin by
"commission," we have all sinned and come short of God's glory.
b)In a socialist society, there are no longer any classes that have
exclusive ownership of the means of production, and any classes
that do still possess these assets are stripped of them. The means
of production are considered collective property under socialist
conditions.
