Read the following passage and answer the question nos. 11 to 15 :
Gandhi's
overall social and environmental philosophy is based on what human beings need
rather than what they want. His early introduction to the teachings of Jains,
Theosophists, Christian sermons, Ruskin and Tolstoy, and most significantly the
Bhagavad Gita, were to have profound impact on the development of Gandhi's
holistic thinking on humanity, nature and their ecological interrelation. His
deep concern for the disadvantaged, the poor and rural population created an
ambience for an alternative social thinking that was at once far-sighted, local
and immediate. For Gandhi was acutely aware that the demands generated by the
need to feed and sustain human life, compounded by the growing
industrialization of India, far outstripped the finite resources of nature.
This might nowadays appear naive or commonplace, but such pronouncements were
as rare as they were heretical a century ago. Gandhi was also concerned about
the destruction, under colonial and modernist designs, of the existing
infrastructures which had more potential for keeping a community flourishing
within ecologically-sensitive traditional patterns of subsistence, especially
in the rural areas, than did the incoming Western alternatives based on
nature-blind technology and the enslavement of human spirit and energies.
Perhaps the moral principle for which Gandhi is best known is that of active
non-violence, derived from the traditional moral restraint of not injuring
another being. The most refined expression of this value is in the great epic
of the Mahabharata, (c. 100 BCE to 200 CE), where moral development proceeds
through placing constraints on the liberties, desires and acquisitiveness
endemic to human life. One's action is judged in terms of consequences and the
impact it is likely to have on another. Jainas had generalized this principle
to include all sentient creatures and biocommunities alike. Advanced Jaina
monks and nuns will sweep their path to avoid harming insects and even
bacteria. Non-injury is a non-negotiable universal prescription.
