45. Read
the following passage carefully and answer questions 45 to 49 :
Traditional
Indian Values must be viewed both from the angle of the individual and from
that of the geographically delimited agglomeration of peoples or groups
enjoying a common system of leadership which we call the 'State'. The Indian
'State's' special feature is the peaceful, or perhaps mostly peaceful, co-existence of social
groups of various historical provenances which mutually adhere in a
geographical, economic, and political sense, without ever assimilating to each
other in social terms, in ways of thinking, or even in language. Modern Indian
law will determine certain rules, especially in relation to the regime of the
family, upon the basis of how the loin-cloth is tied, or how the turban is
worn, for this may identify the litigants as members of a regional group, and
therefore as participants in its traditional law, though their ancestors left
the region three or four centuries earlier. The use of the word 'State' above
must not mislead us. There was no such thing as a conflict between the individual
and the State, atleast before foreign governments became established, just as
there was no concept of state 'sovereignty' or of any church-and-state
dichotomy.
Modern
Indian 'secularism' has an admittedly peculiar feature : It requires the state
to make a fair distribution of attention and support amongst all religions.
These blessed aspects of India's famed tolerance (Indian kings so rarely
persecuted religious groups that the exceptions prove the rule) at once struck
Portuguese and other European visitors to the West Coast of India in the
sixteenth century, and the impression made upon them in this and other ways
gave rise, at one remove, to the basic constitution of Thomas More's Utopia.
There is little about modern India that strikes one at once as Utopian : but
the insistence upon the inculcation of norms, and the absence of bigotry and
institutionalized exploitation of human or natural resources, are two very
different features which link the realities of India and her tradition with the
essence of all Utopians.
45.
The author uses the word 'State' to highlight
(A) Antagonistic
relationship between the state and the individual throughout the period of history.
(B) Absence
of conflict between the state and the individuals upto a point in time.
(C) The concept of state sovereignty.
(D) Dependence on religion.
46. Which one is the peculiar feature of modern
Indian 'Secularism'
(A) No discrimination
on religious considerations
(B) Total
indifference to religion^
(C) No space for social identity
(D) Disregard for social law
47. The basic construction of Thomas More's
Utopia was inspired by
(A) Indian
tradition of religious tolerance.
(B) Persecution of
religious groups by Indian rulers.
(C) Social
inequality in India.
(D) European
perception of Indian State.

is the striking feature of modern India?

replica of Utopian State
(B)

:
49. Which of the following is a special feature
