Read the following text and choose/pick
the correct answer in each of the following questions: (Question Nos. 71 to 75)
The comparative consideration of
the question, “Is the village a community?” is more complex than it seems, for
there are numerous dimensions of “community,” such as the ecological, physical,
social, economic, political, religious, and psychological. To what extent do
the physical limits of the village define the limits for these dimensions? Or
to what extent do these aspects of community spill over into other villages so
that the community might better be defined in terms of units larger than the
single village? As we might expect, not all aspects of community have the same
spatial distribution, so that a village may be a clearly self-contained unit
for some purposes and not for others. There is yet another aspect of the
problem, namely, what is the quality of social relations, of mutual interdependence
of persons or social groups within each village? We must be ready to deal with
the possibility that, although Village A does not define the physical area of
social, economic, and other relations as clearly as does Village B, yet the quality
of such relations in A or subgroups within it may be so much more cohesive as
to justify our saying that there is more community within A (as well as the
villages into which this spills over) than there is in B. With these
observations in mind, let us first consider those aspects of community which
Rani Khera and Tepoz-tlan share and then go on to consider some of the more
important differences. Both Tepoztlan and Rani Khera are corporate bodies which
enjoy legal status and can take suits to law courts.Both are units of taxation
for the respective revenue departments. In both cases the greater part of the
social, economic, and religious activities takes place within the village. The
village is home and there is relatively little out-migration, but more in
Tepoztlan than in Rani Khera. Of Tepoztlan it can be said that most villagers
are born there, live and work there, and die there. This cannot be said of Rani
Khera, for the married women were not born there, and the daughters of the
village will not die there. Yet the very designation “daughter of the village”
speaks eloquently for the sense of village consciousness.www.netugc.com
In both villages, despite the existence
of schisms and factions, there are occasions when the villagers act together as
a unit for some common goal such as the building of a road or a school,
drainage of a pond, or the defense of the village against attack from the
outside. In the case of Tepoztlan the defense of the village last occurred in
the twenties, when it was attacked by the Cristeros. In the case of Rani Khera
one must go back almost a hundred years for a comparable occasion.
(A) Married women are not born in Rani
Khera.
(B) The daughter of the village Rani Khera
will not die there.
(C) There is relatively more
outmigration in Rani Khera village.
(D) All of the above matters.
Answer: (D)
72. Which one of the following
statements about both Rani Khera and Tepoztlan is NOT true?
(A) Both are corporate bodies
(B) Both have legal status
(C) In both cases, the greater part of
social activities takes place within the villages.
(D) In both cases, the defence of the
village by the inhabitants last occurred in the same year.
Answer: (D)
73. Which one of the following
statements about both Rani khera and Tepoztlan is true?
(A) Existence of schisms and factions.
(B) Total self-sufficiency in all aspects
of community life.
(C) No out-migration or inmigration.
(D) All of the above
Answer: (A)
74. The most important distinction between
Rani Khera and Tepoztlan is
(A) Rani Khera is exogamous and Tepoztlan
is endogamous.
(B) Rani Khera is more selfsufficient
compared to Tepoztlan.
(C) People of Rani Khera are more
cooperative compared to Tepoztlan.
(D) Sense of belongingness through a
common identity is more visible in Rani Khera compared to Tepoztlan.
Answer: (A)
75. Village Tepoztlan was attacked in
the twenties by the
(A) Cristeros
(B) Inhabitants of a neighbouring village.
