Bapuji is in prison, but the magic of his message has stolen the hearts of India’s millions. Men
and Women, and even little children, come out of their little shells and become India’s soldiers of
freedom. You and I are fortunate to see this happening before our eyes and to take some part ourselves in
this great drama. What part shall we to play in it? If we are to be Indian soldiers we have to respect India’s
honour, and that honour is a sacred trust. It is no easy matter to decide what is right and what is not. One
little test I shall ask you to apply whenever you are in doubt. Never do anything in secret or anything that
you wish to hide. For the desire to hide anything means that you are afraid and fear is a bad thing and
unworthy of yours. Be brave and all the rest follows.

VII. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. 5x1=5
Tagore insisted that education should be imparted in an atmosphere of nature with all its beauty,
colours, sounds, forms and such other manifestations. In his opinion, education, in natural surroundings,
develops intimacy with the world and the power of communication with nature. Nature, according to him,
was manuscript of God. So he emphasized that education must enable a person to realize his immediate
relationship with nature. It should take the child nearer nature and, therefore, in close proximity of God. It
should help him to learn freely and spontaneously from the book of Nature. Since Nature never betrays
the heart that loves her, she will provide the child with spontaneous development and natural growth.
