ईर्ष्या का काम जलाना है, मगर सबसे पहले वह उसी को जलाती है जिसके हृदय में उसका जन्म होता है। आप भी ऐसे बहुत से लोगों को जानते होंगे जो ईर्ष्या और द्वेष की साकार मूर्ति हैं, जो बराबर इस फिक्र में लगे रहते हैं कि कहाँ सुनने वाले मिलें कि अपने दिल का गुबार निकालने का मौका मिले। श्रोता मिलते ही उनका ग्रामोफोन बजने लगता है और वे बड़े ही होशियारी के साथ एक-एक काण्ड इस ढंग से सुनाते हैं, मानो विश्व कल्याण को छोड़कर उनका और कोई ध्येय नहीं हो। मगर, जरा उनके अपने इतिहास को भी देखिए और समझने की कोशिश कीजिए कि जबसे उन्होंने इस सुकर्म का आरंभ किया है, तबसे वे अपने क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़े हैं या पीछे हटे हैं। यह भी कि, अगर वे निंदा करने में समय और शक्ति का अपव्यय नहीं करते तो आज उनका स्थान कहाँ होता।

[Questions 33 to 37 Passage Question] Since the dawn of history, India has started her endless quest, and countless centuries are filled with her grand successes. Through good fortune or ill, India has never lost sight of this quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. Today we are ending a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? Future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfil the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over. And so we have to labour and to work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world, for all the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments. To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join with faith and confidence in this great adventure. This is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill-will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where all her children may dwell. The appointed time has come—the day appointed by destiny—and India stands forth again, after long struggle, awake and free. The past clings on to us still in some measure, and there is much to be done before we can fulfil the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning-point is past, and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and others will write about. It is a fateful moment for us, a new star rises, the star of freedom in the East. A new hope comes into being, a vision long cherished finds expression. May the star never set and that hope never be blurred! The future for Indians is:

ईर्ष्या का काम जलाना है, मगर सबसे पहले वह उसी को जलाती है जिसके हृदय में उसका जन्म होता है। आप भी ऐसे बहुत से लोगों को जानते होंगे जो ईर्ष्या और द्वेष की साकार मूर्ति हैं, जो बराबर इस फिक्र में लगे रहते हैं कि कहाँ सुनने वाले मिलें कि अपने दिल का गुबार निकालने का मौका मिले। श्रोता मिलते ही उनका ग्रामोफोन बजने लगता है और वे बड़े ही होशियारी के साथ एक-एक काण्ड इस ढंग से सुनाते हैं, मानो विश्व कल्याण को छोड़कर उनका और कोई ध्येय नहीं हो। मगर, जरा उनके अपने इतिहास को भी देखिए और समझने की कोशिश कीजिए कि जबसे उन्होंने इस सुकर्म का आरंभ किया है, तबसे वे अपने क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़े हैं या पीछे हटे हैं। यह भी कि, अगर वे निंदा करने में समय और शक्ति का अपव्यय नहीं करते तो आज उनका स्थान कहाँ होता।

Q18mediummcqGeneral HindiExamination Question2026
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
About five centuries ago, the Portuguese historian Domingos Paes called Hampi (Vijayanagara) the city of dreams. It was the capital of the rulers of the Sangama dynasty who laid the foundation of the Vijayanagara Empire in 1336 at the construction site of ancient Hampi. But it was Krishnadeva Raya (1509-1529) who adorned the capital with grand palaces and temples and extended the boundaries of the Vijayanagara Empire far and wide, making it the most powerful Hindu empire in South India. However, the decline of the power of this empire began with the joint invasion in 1565 by a coalition of neighboring Bahmani kingdoms. This Vijayanagara was defeated and destroyed. This was the sad end of an empire that once stretched from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal and from the Deccan Plateau to the Indian peninsula. The ruins of Vijayanagara are scattered amidst a desolate landscape of giant boulders hanging over each other. Long before its rise on the political landscape of South India, Hampi was an eminent holy site for several centuries. As described in the Ramayana, it was a part of Kishkindha, a region ruled by Bali. Many events related to Bali and Sugriva, Hanuman, Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana have taken place in this location. The current Anegundi Fort, located across the Tungabhadra River, was the main center of this monkey kingdom. The rocky mountains of Hampi like Hemakuta Hill, Matanga Hill, and Malyavanta Hill are mentioned in the Ramayana. The ancient name of Tungabhadra and the name of Parvati is Pampa, who married Shiva in the form of Virupaksha. This city is named after this name.

The ruins of Vijayanagara are scattered amidst what kind of landscape?

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
Connoisseur Dr. Vogel did not call Chamba a wonder ("achambha") without reason. And tourists are also not drawn to this city for nothing. There is definitely some hypnosis in the valleys of Chamba that mesmerizes the tourists and they keep visiting here again and again. Where the rising melodic waves in the temples make the environment spiritual, the majestic flow of the Ravi river and the cool breeze coming from the mountains give a feeling of freshness to the tourists. Chamba is a beautiful blend of history, art, religion, and tourism, and the people of Chamba are carefree and eccentric by nature. As we cross the hills of Chamba, many pages of wonders open up before us. Nature shows a glimpse of its divine beauty. Dr. Vogel must have called it a wonder only after absorbing the beauty of Chamba. It has been Chamba's good fortune that it got one after another great art-loving, religious, and public servant kings. During the reign of these kings, not only did the local folk arts flourish here, but their fame spread beyond the borders of Chamba all over India. Among these art-loving rulers, the names of Raj Sri Singh (1844), Raja Ram Singh (1873), and Raja Bhuri Singh (1904) are particularly noteworthy. Whether it is architecture or mural painting, sculpture or woodcraft, the kind of encouragement they received in Chamba was hardly found anywhere else. Chamba's Kalam style (pen style) has created its own distinct identity. If you look standing from the height of any valley, the entire Chamba city looks like a unique piece of art.

Among these art-loving rulers, the names of Raj Sri Singh (1844), Raja Ram Singh (1873), and Raja Bhuri Singh (1904) are particularly noteworthy. Whether it is architecture or mural painting, sculpture or woodcraft, the kind of encouragement they received in Chamba was hardly found anywhere else. Chamba's Kalam style (pen style) has created its own distinct identity. If you look standing from the height of any valley, the entire Chamba city looks like a unique piece of art.

Question: Why is Chamba called fortunate?

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
Connoisseur Dr. Vogel did not call Chamba a wonder ("achambha") without reason. And tourists are also not drawn to this city for nothing. There is definitely some hypnosis in the valleys of Chamba that mesmerizes the tourists and they keep visiting here again and again. Where the rising melodic waves in the temples make the environment spiritual, the majestic flow of the Ravi river and the cool breeze coming from the mountains give a feeling of freshness to the tourists. Chamba is a beautiful blend of history, art, religion, and tourism, and the people of Chamba are carefree and eccentric by nature. As we cross the hills of Chamba, many pages of wonders open up before us. Nature shows a glimpse of its divine beauty. Dr. Vogel must have called it a wonder only after absorbing the beauty of Chamba.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
About five centuries ago, the Portuguese historian Domingos Paes called Hampi (Vijayanagara) the city of dreams. It was the capital of the rulers of the Sangama dynasty who laid the foundation of the Vijayanagara Empire in 1336 at the construction site of ancient Hampi. But it was Krishnadeva Raya (1509-1529) who adorned the capital with grand palaces and temples and extended the boundaries of the Vijayanagara Empire far and wide, making it the most powerful Hindu empire in South India. However, the decline of the power of this empire began with the joint invasion in 1565 by a coalition of neighboring Bahmani kingdoms. This Vijayanagara was defeated and destroyed. This was the sad end of an empire that once stretched from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal and from the Deccan Plateau to the Indian peninsula. The ruins of Vijayanagara are scattered amidst a desolate landscape of giant boulders hanging over each other. Long before its rise on the political landscape of South India, Hampi was an eminent holy site for several centuries. As described in the Ramayana, it was a part of Kishkindha, a region ruled by Bali. Many events related to Bali and Sugriva, Hanuman, Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana have taken place in this location. The current Anegundi Fort, located across the Tungabhadra River, was the main center of this monkey kingdom. The rocky mountains of Hampi like Hemakuta Hill, Matanga Hill, and Malyavanta Hill are mentioned in the Ramayana. The ancient name of Tungabhadra and the name of Parvati is Pampa, who married Shiva in the form of Virupaksha. This city is named after this name.

Culture and civilization are two words, and their meanings are also different. Civilization is that quality of man by which he makes his external progress. Culture is that quality by which he makes his internal progress, learns compassion, love, and charity. Today, trains, motors and airplanes, long and wide roads and big houses, good food and good dress, these are the hallmarks of civilization, and the more abundance of these in a country, the more civilized we consider that country to be. But culture is something much more subtle than all of them. It is not the motor, but the art of making the motor; not the house, but the interest in making the house. Culture is not wealth, but virtue. Culture is not pomp, but humility and politeness. There is a saying that civilization is what we have, but culture is the quality that is hidden within us. We have houses, clothes, but all these things are evidence of our civilization, whereas culture is not visible in such a coarse way; it is a very subtle and great thing and it remains hidden in our every choice, every habit. Building a house is the work of civilization, but which design of the house we like—our culture tells us this. Inside man, lust, anger, greed, arrogance, attachment, and jealousy—these six vices are given by nature. But if these vices are left unchecked, man would fall so low that there would be no difference between him and an animal. Therefore, man puts a check on these vices. The more a man is able to control these vices, the higher his culture is considered to be. The nature of culture is that it grows through exchange. When people of two countries or races meet, their cultures affect each other. Therefore, from the point of view of culture, that race or country is considered very rich which has developed its culture by taking advantage of the cultures of as many countries or races as possible.

The basic nature of culture is that it:

[Questions 33 to 37 Passage Question] Since the dawn of history, India has started her endless quest, and countless centuries are filled with her grand successes. Through good fortune or ill, India has never lost sight of this quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. Today we are ending a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? Future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfil the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over. And so we have to labour and to work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world, for all the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments. To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join with faith and confidence in this great adventure. This is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill-will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where all her children may dwell. The appointed time has come—the day appointed by destiny—and India stands forth again, after long struggle, awake and free. The past clings on to us still in some measure, and there is much to be done before we can fulfil the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning-point is past, and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and others will write about. It is a fateful moment for us, a new star rises, the star of freedom in the East. A new hope comes into being, a vision long cherished finds expression. May the star never set and that hope never be blurred! Which of the following is NOT meant by 'service of India'?

Passage:
The success of scientific experiments has led to an unprecedented development of human intelligence. In the Second World War, the power of the atom bomb defeated the unconquerable power of Japan in just a few moments. The wartime success of this power inspired all countries like America, Russia, Britain, France, etc., to manufacture such weapons that everyone started making dangerous and omnicidal weapons. Now, instead of manufacturing weapons to defeat the army and attack the enemy country with infantry, weapons are being made in the direction of destroying the country. If these weapons are used, most of the population and property of the enemy countries can be destroyed in a short time. Since some of these weapons have come into the museums/arsenals of almost all independent countries, their use will also become inevitable in the event of war. Therefore, the total destruction or majority destruction of the world will surely happen. That is why disarmament plans are being made. According to the direction adopted in the manufacture of weaponry, such advanced weapons have been made today, whose use makes widespread destruction appear imminent. Even now, ways are being sought to prevent testing and to stop the use of manufactured weapons. A terrible terror and fear of world destruction is working at the root of these efforts. Why are big countries making modern destructive weapons?

To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join with faith and confidence in this great adventure. This is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill-will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where all her children may dwell. The appointed time has come—the day appointed by destiny—and India stands forth again, after long struggle, awake and free. The past clings on to us still in some measure, and there is much to be done before we can fulfil the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning-point is past, and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and others will write about. It is a fateful moment for us, a new star rises, the star of freedom in the East. A new hope comes into being, a vision long cherished finds expression. May the star never set and that hope never be blurred! According to the passage, what do we have to do to realize our dreams?

[Questions 33 to 37 Passage Question] Since the dawn of history, India has started her endless quest, and countless centuries are filled with her grand successes. Through good fortune or ill, India has never lost sight of this quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. Today we are ending a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? Future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfil the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over. And so we have to labour and to work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world, for all the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments.

The past clings on to us still in some measure, and there is much to be done before we can fulfil the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning-point is past, and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and others will write about. It is a fateful moment for us, a new star rises, the star of freedom in the East. A new hope comes into being, a vision long cherished finds expression. May the star never set and that hope never be blurred! What did India not forget during its endless quest?

धर्म पालन करने के मार्ग में सबसे अधिक बाधा चित्त की चंचलता, उद्देश्य की अस्थिरता और मन की निर्बलता से पड़ती है। मनुष्य के कर्तव्य मार्ग में एक ओर तो आत्मा के बुरे-भले कामों का ज्ञान दूसरी ओर आलस्य और स्वार्थपरता रहती है। बस मनुष्य इन्हीं दोनों के बीच में पड़ा रहा है। अंत में यदि उसका मन पक्का हुआ तो वह आत्मा की आज्ञा मानकर अपना धर्म पालन करता है, पर उसका मन दुविधा में पड़ा रहा है तो स्वार्थपरता करता है स्वार्थपरता उसे निश्चित ही घेरेगी और उसका चरित्र घृणा के योग्य हो जायेगा...

प्रश्न: धर्म पालन करने में बाधा डालने वाली प्रवृत्तियाँ कौन-सी हैं?
