Comment on the nature of anti-negro policy noticed in Britain.ब्रिटेन में पाई जाने वाली नीग्रो विरोधी नीति पर एक लेख लिखें। |
|
Answer» In Britain if a negro has paid proper fare, he can board any bus or train. They are allowed to sit at the place of their choice in buses or trains. Obviously, some people avoid to sit near them by such kind of tendency is generally ब्रिटेन में यदि नीग्रो बस अथवा ट्रेन से यात्रा करने के दौरान उचित भाड़ा देते थे तो वे उस पर सवार होने के लिए स्वतंत्र थे। वे अपनी इच्छा के अनुसार बसों अथवा ट्रेनों की किसी भी सीट पर बैठ सकते थे। निश्चय ही कुछ लोग उनके साथ बैठने से कतराते थे और सामान्यत: इस प्रकार की घटना आए दिन देखने को मिल जाती थी। दूसरी तरफ किसी लाईसेंस प्राप्त होटलों अथवा बोर्डिग के कमरों में भी कीमत चुका कर रुक सकते थे। इसके बाद भी उन्हें अनेक जगहों पर कई बार एक शिष्ट भाव से मनाही का सामना करना पड़ता था जो एक आम घटना थी लेकिन इस तरह के कार्य को एक पूर्वाग्रह के एक उदाहरण के तौर पर लिया जाता था। |

How did the reading of English literature, poetry and prose influence the thinking of Braithwaite?ब्रिटिश मानसिकता वालों के विचार को किस तरह से अंग्रेजी साहित्य, कहानी और कविताओं का अध्ययन पुख्ता करता था? |
|
Answer» The reading of English literature, poetry and prose had deep influence on the thinking of Braithwaite. He was identified with the British heroes of adventure stories. They had fought with the villains who were the dedicate non-British. The villainous acts had cast a deep impact on his boyish mind. When he was in college and university, his more selective reading was marked by the same declaration for English literature. He was bold enough to show his preferences and resistance to any criticism of British policy on several occasions. अंग्रेजी मानसिकता के लोगों के विचार को अंग्रेजी सहित्य, कविता और कहानी पुख्ता करने का काम करती है। उनके बारे में सोचा जाता था कि वे ब्रिटिश कहानी के साहसिक नायक हैं। वे उन खलनायकों से लड़ते हैं जो गैर ब्रिटिश थे। इस खलनायक ने उनके किशोर मानसिकता पर गहरी छाप छोड़ी। जब वे कालेज और युनिवर्सिटी के छात्र थे तो उन दिनों के उनके अंग्रेजी साहित्य के विशिष्ट अध्ययन ने उसे और भी पुख्ता कर दिया। वे अत्यधिक दृढ़ विचारों से युक्त हो चुके थे और विभिन्न अवसरों पर ब्रिटिश नीति की आलोचना करने वालों का खुल कर विरोध कर सकते थे। |

What is the nature of anti-negro tendency in America?अमेरिका में नीग्रो विरोधी धारणा को क्या प्रकृति थी? |
|
Answer» In America the nature of anti-negro tendency is open, rough and noisy. Any white man must have a proper cause to show his prejudices against the black man. On the other hand the American negroes can openly oppose these prejudices as they have constitutional devices available to them. Besides, they fight these biased feelings of the white man with zeal and enthusiasm. Obviously, the rest of the world may question the anti-negro tendency being followed by America. But their country has given them lots of opportunities to develop in their life. अमेरिका में नीग्रो विरोधी धारणा की प्रकति मक्त, कठोर और शोरसराबे से युक्त थी। किसी भी गोरे आदमी को अपने नीग्रो अथवा काले लोगों के प्रति किए गए दुर्व्यवहार और पूर्वाग्रह के लिए उसका वास्तविक कारण बताना होता था। दूसरी ओर अमेरिकी नीग्रो को खुले तौर पर अपने प्रति हुए पूर्वाग्रह का विरोध कर सकता था जो अधिकार उन्हें संविधान के अधीन दिया गया था। इसके तहत वे गोरे लोगों के इस भेदकारी अनुभव का जलनशीलता और इससे संबंधित उनके उत्साह का विरोध कर सकते थे। निश्चय ही शेष विश्व के लोग इस नीग्रो विरोधी कार्य पर प्रश्न खड़े कर सकते थे जिस तरह की भावना अमेरिका में थी। लेकिन उसके देश ने उन्हें प्रचुर मात्रा में अवसर प्रदान किए ताकि वे भी अपने जीवन को सुधार सके। |

What is difference between a British and a Briton?ब्रिटिश नागरिक और ब्रिटेन में रहने वालों के बीच क्या भेद है? |
|
Answer» A British is a legal citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and colonies. A Briton is a Celtic person who inhabited Great Britain from Iron age to the early Middle age. In the British colonies the Briton is also known as a white man. ब्रिटिश लोग ग्रेट ब्रिटेन के संयुक्त साम्राज्य और उसके कालोनियों के वैध नागरिक थे। ब्रिटिश लोग यहां के मूल निवासी भी हैं जो इस देश में लौहयुग से मध्ययुग तक यहीं स्थाई रूप से निवास कर रहे हैं। ब्रिटेन की कालोनियों में ब्रिटिश लोगों को भी गोरे लोगों के रूप में जाना जाता है। |

What does the expression “laboring like a black” suggest?‘काले लोगों की तरह मजदूरी करने वाला’ से लेखक का क्या अभिप्राय है? स्पष्ट करें। |
|
Answer» In Britain a negro is pointed out as a ‘darky’, ‘nigger’ or ‘black’. These terms are actually abusive for him. He is considered as a brute with never ending power. The expression “laboring like a black” is used to signify someone working constantly without. So, this expression certainly is not used in a good sense in Britain. ब्रिटेन में नीग्रो को ‘एक अश्वेत मानव, काले लोग अथवा निग्गर’ के नाम से जाना जाता था। वास्तव में ये शब्द उनके लिए ये लोग गाली की तरह प्रयोग करते थे। उन्हें एक ऐसा खुखार जीव समझा जाता था जिसकी क्षमता कभी क्षीण नहीं होती है। यह वक्तव्य कि ‘काले लोगों की तरह मजदूरी करने वाले लोग’ का भाव है कि कुछ लोग बिना रूके लगातार अपना काम करते रहते। इसलिए निश्चय ही यह वक्तव्य इंगलैंड में एक अच्छे भाव से प्रयोग में लाया जाता होगा। |

What did the author write about America in the story?लेखक ने कहानी में अमेरिका के बारे में क्या लिखा |
|
Answer» With regard to the Negroes, he wrote that in America when prejudice is felt, it is open, obvious, blatant. The white man has to make his position very clear and the black man fights those prejudices with equal openness and ferocity. The Negroes can use every constitutional device which are available to him. उन्होंने कहानी में लिखा है कि अमेरिका में नीग्रो भी सम्मानपूर्ण जीवन जी रहे थे। वे लिखते हैं कि जब अमेरिका में नीग्रो के प्रति पूर्वाग्रह से ग्रसित हो कर भेदभाव किया जाता था तो इसका डट कर नीग्रो दारा विरोध किया गया। यह एकदम स्पष्ट था और खुले-आम था। गोरे लोगों ने अपनी स्थिति को एकदम से स्पष्ट कर दिया था और काले लोग अपने प्रति होने वाले उस अन्याय का विरोध बराबरी में डटकर और खुलकर कर रहे थे। नीग्रो लोग उन समस्त संवैधानिक अधिकारों का उपयोग भी खुलेआम कर रहे थे जो उन्हें प्राप्त था। |

Why did Braithwaite not think to acquire American citizenship?ब्रिटिश मानसिकता वाले लोग अमेरिकी नागरिकता लेने के वारे में क्यों नहीं सोचते थे? |
|
Answer» Braithwaite believed in the British way of life for the long twenty-eight years.The same ideal supported him when he was in high school. In his school days he had to work hard to make the grade. The same ideal also helped him in college and university also. So, he never thought of acquiring the American citizenship. ब्रिटिश मानसिकता वाले लोगों का विश्वास ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली में था और वे अपने जीवन के आरंभिक 28 वर्षों तक इसी के बारे में सोचते रहे। इसी विचारधारा ने उन्हें उच्च विद्यालय के दिनों में भी सहयोग दिया। अपने विद्यालय के दिनों में वे अच्छे ग्रेड पाने के लिए कठोर मेहनत करते थे। उनका यही विचार कॉलेज और युनिवर्सिटी के दिनों में भी रहा। यही वजह है कि उसने कभी भी अमेरिकी नागरिकता लेने के बारे में नहीं सोचा। |

State how Braithwaite reacts to Democracy and Human Rights.मानवाधिकार और लोकतंत्र के मामलों में ब्रिटिश मानसिकता के लोगों की क्या प्रतिक्रिया थी? |
|
Answer» According to Braithwaite, Democracy and Human Rights are only the subjects of high talks. They are as false as the guarantee given by the manufacturers for the quality of their protects. In the same manner the British take no responsibility for the declarations and promises their officials make overseas. ब्रिटिश मानसिकता वालों के अनुसार लोकतंत्र और मानवाधिकार महज बड़ी-बड़ी बातें हैं। ये उतने ही झूठे हैं जितना कि इसके निर्माता द्वारा इसकी सुरक्षा को लेकर किए गए वादे। ठीक इसी अंदाज में ब्रिटिश लोग अपने उपनिवेश वासियों के लिए अपने अधिकारियों द्वारा किए गए किसी भी घोषणा का वे न तो वे सम्मान करते हैं और न ही उसके प्रति अपनी कोई जिम्मेदारी समझते हैं। |
|
| 117814. |
Why did Braithwaite resist any criticism of British policy?ब्रिटिश मानसिकता वाले लोग वहाँ की नीति के किसी भी आलोचना का क्यों प्रतिरोध करते थे? |
|
Answer» Braithwaite had grown up British in every sense. His family knew no other way of living and thinking. He had never heard of his father or family complain about being British. As a result, he had become bold enough to resist any criticism of British or British policy. ऐसे लोग अपने जीवन के हर क्षेत्र में ब्रिटिश मानसिकता के साथ पले बढ़े थे। उनके परिवार वाले इसके अलावा अन्य किसी भी विचारधारा और जीवन शैली को नहीं जानते थे। उसने अपने जीवन में अपने माता-पिता और परिवार के अन्य किसी भी सदस्य के मुंह से ब्रिटेन की कोई भी शिकायत नहीं सुनी थी। परिणामस्वरूप, वह एक दृढ़ विश्वासी बन गया था और उसके अंदर इतनी क्षमता आ गई थी कि वह ब्रिटिश अथवा ब्रिटेन की किसी भी नीति की आलोचना का करारा जबाव दे सके। |

Answer» In Britain the negroes are considered as a ‘darky’, ‘Nigger’ or a ‘black’. These words are humiliating words for the negroes. In fact they can ride buses and trains if they have paid the required fare. They can also take shelter in the hotels or boarding places. But sometimes they may encounter polite refusals at hotels are boarding places. In English there are several negro doctors, lawyers and talented entertainers but they are treated as the different from the mass. On the other hand, the Negroes in America are provided with constitutional devices to right prejudices against the white men. Moreover, they are provided with all opportunities to rise in life and increase their income. They also enjoy a greater sense of social and religious independence also. ब्रिटेन में नीग्रो को एक ‘अश्वेत, निग्गर अथवा काले लोग’ के तौर पर माना जाता था। ये सारे शब्द नीग्रो लोगों को अपमानित करने वाले शब्द थे। वास्तव में यदि वे उचित भाड़ा देते थे तो उन्हें वहाँ की बसों और ट्रेनों में यात्रा कर सकते थे। इसके साथ ही वे होटलों और बोर्डिग स्थानों में भी भुगतान कर आश्रय प्राप्त कर सकते थे। लेकिन कई बार उन्हें बड़ी शिष्टता के साथ इन होटलों और बोर्डिग आश्रयों में रुकने से मना भी कर दिया जाता था। ब्रिटेन में कई नीग्रो ऐसे थे जो डाक्टर, वकील और प्रशिक्षित मनोरंजनकर्मी थे। दूसरी ओर अमेरिका में नीग्रो को संवैधानिक उपचार का सहारा दिया गया था जिसके सहारे वे गोरे लोगों द्वारा किए गए पूर्वाग्रह ग्रसित दुर्व्यवहार से लड़ सकते थे। कम-ओ-बेस उन्हें हर प्रकार की सुविधा दी गई थी जिसके सहारे वे अपने जीवन में आगे बढ़ सके और अपनी आर्थिक स्थिति को सुदृढ़ कर सके। इसके साथ ही वे यहाँ धार्मिक और सामाजिक स्वतंत्रता का भी बड़े पैमाने पर उपभोग करते थे। |

|

|
Answer» The author had a deep belief in the British way of life-his ideal he had group-up British in all senses. His family knew no other way of living. Neither his father nor forefathers had knowledge of the other culture. The family taught him to appreciate British prose, poetry and literature. In stories, he like the British heroes as they had adventured against the villains of peace. As the British way of life was his ideal, it was impossible for him to bear any criticism of British or British policy. ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली में लेखक का गहरा विश्वास था। शुरू से ही उनका लालन-पालनउनके आदर्श ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली के अनुरूप हुआ था। उनके परिवार वाले इसके अलावा किसी अन्य जीवन शैली को नहीं जानते थे। न तो उनके पिता को और न ही उनके दादा को अन्य किसी भी संस्कृति का ज्ञान था। उनके परिवार वालों ने उन्हें अंग्रेजी साहित्य, कहानी और कविता आदि पढ़ने के लिए प्रेरित किया और उसके महत्त्व को बताया। ब्रिटिश कहानियों के हीरो जो शांति विरोधी खलनायकों को अपने साहसिक कार्य से दंडित करते थे, उनके आदर्श थे। जैसा कि ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली उनका आदर्श थी, ऐसे में उनके लिए यह अत्यंत कठिन था कि वे किसी भी प्रकार से ब्रिटिश लोगों अथवा ब्रिटिश सरकार की नीतियों का विरोध सुन सकते थे। |

The author had grown up British, How?लेखक की परवरिश किस प्रकार ब्रिटिश शैली में हुई? |

What is the British way of life?ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली क्या थी? |
|
Answer» The British way of life is the identification of oneself with British loyalties, beliefs and traditions. This notion can be experienced in the country’s system of law, education and government.

How is the ‘British way of life’ meant to the colonial people appreciated in Britain? Explain.उपनिवेश के नागरिकों को ब्रिटेन में किस प्रकार ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली प्रोत्साहित करती थी? स्पष्ट करें। |
|
Answer» The majority of the natives of Britain have different appreciation of the British way of life meant to the colonial people. They have little regard for the fantastic phenomenon of the colonial people who are widely spread over the globe. They feel pride to identify themselves with the British loyalties, beliefs and traditions. Although, they are different in color, they like to adopt the British fashion in dress and social codes. Their entire knowledge is based on second hand information which is not given due recognition by the Britons at home. ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य के उपनिवेशों के अधिकांश नागरिकों को ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली अलग-अलग ढंग से थी। संपूर्ण संसार में फैले उनके उपनिवेशों के रहने वाले जो अत्यंत रमणीय वातावरण में जी रहे थे, को अपनी सभ्यता और संस्कृति के प्रति उन दिनों बहुत कम सम्मान था। उन्हें ब्रिटिशों की परंपरा, उनकी धारणा में विश्वास था और यही वजह है कि वे उनके विश्वासपात्र बनने की भरपूर कोशिश करते। ऐसा करने में उन्हें गर्व का अनुभव होता। हालांकि वे शारीरिक रंग-रूप में उनसे पृथक थे फिर भी ब्रिटिश फेशन, उनके परिधान और सामाजिक रीति को अपनाना पसंद करते। यद्यपि उनकी संस्कृति के वारे में उन्हें जो कुछ भी ज्ञान था वे सब के सब सुनी-सुनाई बातों पर आधारित थी, जो उसी रूप में ब्रिटिशों द्वारा अपने यहां नहीं किया जाता था। |

How do the colonial people express the British way of life.उपनिवेशों में रहने वाले लोग किस प्रकार ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली के बारे में अपने भाव व्यक्त करते थे? |
|
Answer» The colonial people try to express themselves as the Britons. The British way of life can be observed in British system of law, education and government in the colonies. The colonial people also try to adopt dress and social codes of the English people. But they have no proper knowledge of such ideas. बिटिश उपनिवेशों के नागरिक स्वयं को ब्रिटिश नागरिकों की तरह बन कर दिखाने की कोशिश करते थे। उपनिवेशों में ब्रिटिश जीवन शैली का मूल्यांकन ब्रिटिश कानूनी प्रक्रिया, शिक्षा और सरकार की कार्यप्रणाली के माध्यम से किया जाता था। उपनिवेशों के लोग ब्रिटिशों के परिधान और सामाजिक नियमों को आत्मसात करने की भी कोशिश करते। लेकिन इस प्रकार के विचार के लिए उनके पास सही जानकारी नहीं होती। |

If the pth, qth and rth terms of an A.P are in GP, then the common ratio of the G.P is(a) p + q/r + q(b) r - q/q - p(c) p - r/p - q(d) None of these |
|
Answer» Correct option (b) r – q/q – p Explanation: Tp , Tq , Tr are in G.P ⇒ Tq/Tp = Tr/Tq ⇒ Tq/Tp - 1 = Tr/Tq - 1 ⇒ Tq/Tp/Tp = Tr/Tq /Tq ∴ Tq/Tp = Tr - Tq/Tq - Tp ⇒ Tq/Tp = (A (r –1)D) – (A (q – 1)D)/(A (q –1)D) – (A (p – 1)D) = r - q/q - p |

Find the perimeter of the following rectangles. Which rectangle has the greatest perimeter? |
|
Answer» (i) On measuring, l = 1.8 cm and b = 1.3 cm and Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (1.8 + 1.3) = 2 (3.1) = 6.2 cm (ii) On measuring l = 1.5 cm and b = 0.8 cm and Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (1.5 + 0.8) = 2 (2.3) = 4.6 cm (iii) On measuring l = 2.1 cm and b= 1.6 cm and Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (2.1 + 1.6) = 2 (3.7) = 7.4 cm (iv) On measuring l = 1.8 cm and b= 1.2 cm and Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (1.8 + 1.2) = 2 (3) = 6 cm Thus, Perimeter of (iii) figure is greatest. |

A rectangular piece of 20 cm × 15 cm is cut off from a bigger rectangle as shown in the figures below. In each case, find the difference is perimeter before and after the piece is cut off. |
|
Answer» (i) Perimeter of square (when rectangular piece cut off) = 80 + 80 + 30 + 15 + 20 + 15 + 30 + 80 = 350 cm Perimeter of complete square = 4 (80) = 320 cm ∵ 350 > 320 ∴ Perimeter will be increased. Thus, increment in perimeter = 350 – 320 = 30 cm (ii) Initial perimeter of square = 4 (60) = 240 cm Perimeter, after piece cut off = 60 + 60 + 45 + 20 + 15 + 40 = 60 + 60 + (45 + 15) + (20 + 40) = 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 = 240 ∵ 240 = 240 Thus, no change in perimeter of square. |
