CTET December 19 Paper 1 Language II English

Freedom is one of the most important factors in life. Man has fought politically all over the world for freedom. Religions have promised freedom, not in this world but in another. In the capitalist countries, individual freedom exists to some degree, and in the communist world it has been denied. From ancient times, freedom has meant a great deal to man, and there have been its opponents, not only political but religious through Inquisition, by excommunication, tortures and banishments, and the total denial of man’s search for freedom. There have been wars and counter-wars fought for freedom. This has been the pattern of man’s endeavours for freedom throughout history.

Freedom of self-expression and freedom of
speech and thought exist in some parts of the
world, but in others it does not. Those who
have been conditioned, revolt against their
backgrounds. This reaction which takes
different forms is called ‘freedom’. The
reaction to politics is often to shun the field of
politics.

One economic reaction is to form small communities based on some ideology or under the leadership of one person, but these soon disintegrate. The religious reaction against established organisations of belief is to revolt, either by joining other religious organisations or by following some guru or leader or by joining some cult. Or one denies the whole religious endeavour.

One thinks of freedom only as freedom of movement, either physical or movements of thought. It appears that one always seeks freedom on the surface. Surely, this is rather a limited freedom, involving a great deal of conflict, wars and violence.

Inner freedom is something entirely different.
It has its roots not in the idea of freedom but in
the reality of freedom. It covers all the
endeavours of man. Without inner freedom life
will always be an activity within the limited
circle of time and conflict.

#8. Which of the following statements is not true ?

Water is the core of life; hence water must be
central to our spiritual thinking. Water is not
only most of earth, but also most of life.
Therefore water conservation must be our
deepest concern.

The Himalayan mountain range is among the
highest, youngest and most fragile ecosystem
of the planet. The Himalayas have given us
some of the great river systems of the earth
including the Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Nu
Salween, Yangtze and the Mekong. The
Himalayas are also called the ‘Third Pole’, for
they contain the largest mass of ice and snow
outside the earth’s polar region, the north and
south poles. There is a permanent snowline
above 5,000 metres. Some of the glaciers in the
region are the longest outside the two poles.

The Himalayas serve as water towers, providing water on a sustained basis to more than 1,000 million people and millions of hectares of land in South Asia. The greenery, benevolent climate, highly productive ecosystems, food production and overall happiness in South Asia are in fact, attributable to the bounty of the Himalayas. They are not only beautiful; they are life-givers. Little wonder that they are venerated as the abode of gods.

To keep the Third Pole preserved through
assured conservation is one of the greatest
challenges for the contemporary world.
Himalayan mountains are a common but

fragile natural resource. As mountain
ecosystems have enormous bearing on the
earth’s systems, their special care, regeneration
and conservation of their pristine resources
would only bring more happiness, peace and
prosperity to large parts of the world. In
Agenda 21, Chapter 13 of the United Nations,
the importance of mountains is underlined :
“mountain environments are essential to the
survival of global ecosystems.”

The Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand are
especially rich in water resources. This area is
home to dozens of perennial streams and
numerous other rain-fed rivers along with
innumerable rivulets, waterfalls and ponds, etc.
