NTSE Sample Questions 2016-17 : Rajasthan Language (Stage-1)
Direction for Question No. 1 - 5 : Read the passage and answer the questions based on it.
I have three visions for India. In 3000 'years of our history people -frorn all. over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered' our minds. From Alexander onwards the Greeks, the' Turks, the . Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us,took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have' not conquered anyo~e .. We have not grabbed their land, their culture and their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respet the freedom of others. That is why my FIRST VISION is that of FREEDOM. I believe that India got its .first vision of this in 1857, when we started the Wat of Independence. It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on.If we are not free, no one will respect us. .
We have 10 per cent growth in most areas. Our poverty levels are falling. Our achievements are being globally recognised today. Yet we lack the self confidence to see ourselves as a developed nation, self-reliant and self assured. Isn't. this incorrect? MY SECOND VISION for India is DEVELOPMENT. For fifty years we have been a. developing nation. It is time we see ourselves as a developed nation. We are among top five nations in' the world in terms of GDP. I have THIRD VISION India must stand up to the world. Because I believe that unless India stands up to the world, no one will-respect us. Only strength respects strength: We must be strong not only as a military power but also as an economic power.
