sorrow-stricken and difficult problems encompass us. But freedom brings responsibilities and
burdens and we have to face them in the sprit of a fair and disciplined people. On this day our
first thoughts go to the Architect of this freedom, the father of our Nation, who, embodying the

Directions~ read the passage and answer the questions that follow.(Q.N.86 to 90)
Faith in progress is deep within our culture. We have been taught, to believe that our lives are
better than the lives of those who came before us. The ideology of modern economics suggests
that material progress has yielded enhanced satisfaction and well-being. But much of our
confidence about our own well-being comes from the assumption that our lives are easier than
those of earlier generations.
‘The lives of the so-called primitive peoples are thought to be harsh—their existence dominated
by the ‘incessant quest for food’. In fact, primitives did very little work. contemporary standards
we'd have to judge them very lazy. :
‘The key to understanding why these ‘stone- age people’ failed to act like us—increasing their
work effort to get more things—is that they had limited desires. in the race between wanting
and having, they had kept their wanting low—and, in this way ensured their own kind of
satisfaction. They were materially poor by contemporary standards, but in at least one
