Gandhi had it in him to inspire even individuals who had never met him and he left an indelible

impression with them, inspiring them to read and research about the values he dearly held

onto and espoused.

Let’s read a short passage, about his teachings for the students of our country.

You are the hope of the future. You will be called upon, when you are discharged from your

colleges and schools, to enter upon public life, to lead the poor people of this country. I would,

therefore, like you, students, to have a sense of responsibility and show it in a much tangible

manner.

It is a remarkable fact, and a regrettable fact, that in the case of the vast majority of the

students, whilst they entertain noble impulses during their student days, these disappear

when they finish their studies. The vast majority of them look out for loaves and fishes.

Surely there is something wrong in this. There is one reason which is obvious. Every

educationist, everyone who has had anything to do with the students, has realized that our

education system is faulty. It does not correspond to the requirements of the country,

certainly not to the requirements of pauper India. There is no correspondence between the

education that is given and the home life and the village life.

The students should be, above all humble, and correct....The greatest to remain great has to

be the lowliest by choice. If I can speak from my knowledge, a student is to be under the

strictest discipline. His behaviour is to be a pattern of exemplary self-resistant.

On the basis of your reading and understanding of the passage given above, answer the

following questions briefly.

1) What is the appeal that Gandhiji makes to the students?

2) Explain the phrase- look out for loaves and fishes.

3) What is the most regrettable fact, that Gandhiji mentioned about the changing

attitude of students in today’s time?

4) Find a word from the passage that means the same as- worthy of imitation.

5) According to Gandhiji, what is the role of students in relation to the progress of the

country?
