Gardiner says that in our personal matters we can be as free
as we like. But when it comes to social matters, we have to
keep in mind also the liberties of other people. We have no
right to disturbe the liberties of other people and disturbe
peace. So we cannot be complete marchists nor complete
socialists but we must be a judicious mixture of both. We
have to preserve both liberties - our individual liberty and
our social liberty.
Mihir Sen’s message to the youth of India is that nothing is
impossible for them - all they have to do is to Believe and
persevere and the goal will be theirs. It is his firm conviction
that unless we individually become adventurous and
positively setless and enterprising, India will not be able to
break the bonds of apathy and tradition, whether on the
physical or on intellectual fronts.

the dog. 4

XII. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: [6 x = 6]
The greatest defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its
knowledge. Science has given us powers fit for the Gods, yet we use them like small
children. For example, we do not know how to manage our machines. Machines were
made to be man’s servants; yet he has grown so dependant upon them that they are in a
fair way to become his masters. Already most men spend most of their lives looking
after and waiting upon machines. And the machines are very stern masters.
They must be fed with coal, and petrol to drink and oil to wash with, and they must
be kept at the right temperature. And if they do not get their meals when they expect
them, they grow sulky and refuse to work, or burst with rage and blow up, and spread
ruin and destruction all around them. So we have to wait upon them very attentively and
do all that we can to keep them in good temper. Already we find it difficult either to
work or play without the machines and a time may come when they will rule us all -
together just as we rule the animals.
