To return, therefore, to where I began, if your horizon goes as far as Srinagar in the North and Cape Camorin in the South, Karachi in the West and Dibrugarh in the East—as, indeed, it should—there is for you nothing for it but to learn Hindi, English, I have shown to you, cannot be our lingua franca. I have no prejudice against English. A knowledge of English is necessary for a few scholars, it is necessary for international contacts and for a knowledge of the sciences pursued in the West. But I am pained when an attempt is made to give English a place it cannot take. That attempt, I have no doubt, is bound to fail. Everything looks proper in its own place. There is a scare of which I should like to disabuse your minds. Is Hindi to be taught at the expense of Kannada? On the contrary, I claim that the more we propagate Hindi, the more shall we stimulate a study of vernaculars and even improve their power and potency. I say this from my experience of different provinces.The first and the greatest social service we can render is to revert to our vernaculars, to restore Hindi to its natural place as the national language, and begin carrying on all our provincial proceedings in our respective vernaculars and national proceedings in Hindi. We ought not to rest till our schools and colleges give us instruction through the vernaculars. It ought not to be necessary, even for the sake of our English friends, to have to speak in English. Every English civil and military officer has to know Hindi. Most English merchants learn it because they need it for their business. The day must soon come when our legislatures will debate national affairs in the vernaculars or Hindi, as the case may be. Hitherto, the masses have been strangers to their proceedings. The vernacular papers have tried to undo the mischief a little. But the task was beyond them In this ancient land of cultured thinkers, the presence in our midst of a Tagore or a Bose or a Ray ought not to excite wonder. Yet the painful fact is that there are so few of them. It is my conviction that all national activity suffers materially owing to this radical defect in our system of education.1. Which language can’t be our lingua franca?2. For what is the knowledge of English necessary?3. When is the author pained?4. What does the author claim?5. What does the author want to restore?6. What does the author hope from the legislators?7. What type of people does the author want in India?8. Write from the passage the words that mean the following—(i) to spread an idea(ii) the language spoken by a particular group.

Answer»

1. English language can’t be our lingua-franca.

2. The knowledge of English is necessary for international contacts and the knowledge of the sciences pursued in the West.

3. The author is pained when an attempt is made to give English a place it can’t take.

4. The author claims that the more we propagate Hindi, the more shall we stimulate the study of vernaculars.

5. The author wants to restore Hindi to its natural place as the national language.

6. From the legislators, the author hopes to debate in the vernaculars or Hindi.

7. The author wants the following type of people in India—Tagore, Bose and Ray.

8. (i) propagate

(ii) vernacular.

Highly intellectual and given to abstract thinking as they were, one would expect the ancient Indians to excel in mathematics. Europe got its early arithmetic and algebra from the Arabs-hence the ‘Arabic numerals’—but the Arabs themselves had previously taken them from India. The astonishing progress that the Indians had made in mathematics is now well known and it is recognized that the foundations of modem arithmetic and algebra were laid long ago in India. The clumsy method of using a counting frame and the use of Roman and such like numerals had long retarded progress when the ten Indian numerals, including the zero sign, liberated the human mind from these restrictions and threw a flood of light on the behaviour of numbers. These number symbols w’ere unique and entirely different from all other symbols that had been in use in other countries. They are common enough to-day and we take them for granted, yet they contained the germs of revolutionary progress in them. It took many centuries for them to travel from India, via Baghdad, to the western world.A hundred and fifty years ago, during Napoleon’s time, La Place wrote : ‘It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position, as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit, but its very simplicity, the great ease which it has lent to all computations, puts our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of this achievement when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of greatest men produced by antiquity.The origins of geometry, arithmetic, and algebra in India go back to remote periods. Probably to begin with there was some kind of geometrical algebra used for making figures for Vedic altars.Questions :1. Where was the foundation of modem arithmetic and algebra was laid?2. Which country gave the zero sign to the world?3. How did the Indian numerals travel to the western world?4. Who appreciated the ingenious Indian numerals?5. Who are the two greatest men produced by antiquity?6. What go back to remote periods in India?7. For what was geometrical algebra used?8. Locate from the passage the words which mean the following—(i) surprising(ii) the quality of being great and impressive.

Answer»

1. The foundation of modem arithmetic and algebra was laid in India.

2. India gave the zero sign to the world.

It was the London Times that remarked: “No country other than India, could have produced a Gandhi.” That is why he belongs to us in a very special sense. There are several ways in which he has worked for the country and the world. He was a great nationalist leader. He was a liberator of the enslaved. He taught the doctrine of love that never fails. He was a moral genius who tried to chasten himself first before trying to exert any kind’of influence on other people. In all these ways he has helped us.It was over thirty years ago that I put to Gandhi three questions:(1) What is your religion?(2) How were you led to it?(3) What is its bearing on life?He gave the answer, the brief answer.I used to say, “I believe in God”, now I say, “I believe in truth”. “God is truth”, that is what I was saying and today I say, “Truth is God”. There are people who deny God. There are no people who deny Truth. It is something which even the atheists admit.Here he was not enunciating any new proposition. He was merely declaring some fundamental truths which have come down to us from the environment in which he lived, the environment which nourished him.He took up these two things : satyain vada dharmam cara. Speak the truth and do the right. He used to call them satya and ahimsa. These were the principles which he had. Truth is not something which we can casually get at. It requires considerable travail of human spirit to bring out harmony between the inward and the outward. Vammanasyoraikya-rupam satyam. Vak (word) and manas (thought) must have identity. If we are able to establish that identity, then it is that we have truth. Such a kind of truth will not allow us to indulge in distortion, in innuendoes, in exaggerations. It will not merely not allow us to speak lies but it will not allow us to indulge in any statements made with mental reservations. It is, therefore, something which we have to acquire at considerable cost. We cannot get it for the mere asking of it.Questions :1. What did the London Times remark?2. What kind of moral genius was Gandhi?3. Write the questions the author put to Gandhi.4. What did Gandhi say about truth?5. Which two principles are his guiding principles?6.
