General Hindi(8 questions)
Q. 1
UPPSC Mains 2022·General Hindi
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: To think of life in its completeness and to think of life as a particular, isolated entity are two different kinds of preparations; and in this sense, whenever literature, like politics, uses language in a levelled or one-dimensional manner, it limits or frustrates its entire power. While speaking in the idiom of politics we speak the language of a class for which language itself is not the principal thing; it is merely a second- or even third-grade means of reaching a particular end. Therefore, the capacity, effectiveness or spontaneity of that language is not of the same concern as it is in literature. Political language may be dominated by grand rhetoric and even a fabricated personality, because for politics language is something practical and makeshift, whereas for a litterateur language is a living, breathing part of the refinement of life that he wants to establish or re-establish in its original dignity and power by saving it from the violence, vandalism and intrigues of political, utilitarian or vested interests. The task of literature is not to lose its identity in the language of politics; rather, it is to distance itself almost completely from that language—alone like a hermit—so that politics is compelled time and again to borrow language from literature for its own effectiveness and interest, yet literature itself does not lose its identity by becoming the language of politics.

Q. 2
UPPSC Mains 2022·General Hindi
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: It is necessary to develop our own sociology in India. Western sociology, which speaks of a human-centred sociality and its spirituality-less power, is inadequate for the Indian vision. Life is not confined only to human beings. When a person is fused with the animate and inanimate life around him, and when the thinness of his needs coincides with theirs, his responsibility only increases. It is true that the kind of rationality man possesses is not available to other creatures; yet those others have also been endowed with something that man does not have, and man ought to have reverence for that endowment. If our organisation proceeds by denying their existence—as has happened in the last three or four years—it will damage man more than it will damage them; this fact has now been proved. Therefore, the human-centred outlook of sociology should pay heed to the existence of all beings. The second issue is that of equality. The etymological meaning of the word ‘sam’ is that which is only ‘sam’, i.e., the power of balance (or war-power); hence ‘samata’ means distributing that balancing power everywhere. In this sense, samata is oneness, a sense of unity, not parity, because without separateness parity cannot even be conceived. Only when two things are different do they appear equal or unequal; when they are one, the question of equality or inequality simply does not arise.
