PASSAGE
The emancipated women may enjoy rank, wealth, position, may even knowledge; they may know
French and play on the organ but what then? They do not know what to do with themselves. They rush
here and there among outward things, pushing, carrying, dragging, busy trying this knot and untying the
other, blaming this person and cursing another. They sulk, they sneer, they scold and complain bitterly
against all and sundry that the elements are unfriendly and they are not having a nice time. They waste
their emotions on vulgar trivialities, and the frippery and the tinsel absorb all their energies. When they
escape into solitude, they have a strained, harassed, haunted, nervous look. A nameless sadness weighs
them down and they overtake them. Life has become what we see in pictures and Cinemas- an idiot’s tale,
full of pain and piffle, which signifies nothing.
63. According to the writer what is wrong with the emancipated women?
(a) They don’t enjoy their rank, wealth and position
(b) They do not know what to do with themselves

PASSAGE
To be sure, one-third of the accumulated debts of the Third World is attributable to arms imports.
Forty developing countries have thought it fit to establish their own military industries for production of
aircraft, tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, warships and missiles in unceasing bouts of one-upmanship. It
may well be., as the World Bank President, Mr. Barber Conable laments, that developing countries spend
$200 billions on the military. Without in any way holding any brief for all the skewed priorities developing
countries are capable of, the money they spend on Defence is still only 15 per cent of the more than $ 1200
billions i year (or $ 3 billions each day) spent on the manufacture of arms and armaments and i ii running
military, based industries. (It should be remembered that the figure may well be on the lower side for, as
the World Bank points out, governments are prone to understate and conceal the actual outlay on this
deadly item).
Undeniably, the preoccupation shown by some of the poorer countries with arms build-up is
indefensible- for instance, Africa, where almost every problem is more acute than elsewhere and most of
the world's poorest live, spends 14 per cent or more of the GNP on the military, besides indulging its whim
for constant internecine feuds. Even so, the per capita expenditure on armed forces is still only $ 43 in
developing countries as against $ 524 in developed countries as a whole, North America alone topping the
list at nearly $ 1000 per capita.
It is the industrial countries, which are responsible for 97 per cent of weapons exports, the U.S. and
the USSR between themselves accounting for 72.5 per cent. Two-thirds of the exports originate from NATO
nations and 44 per cent from the U.S. The U.S. Congress research service has found that the country
encourages bankrupt States to buy weapons, which they often do not need, paying with money which they
often do not have! In 1982-84, American aid for Africa rose by 40 per cent, but this was left far behind by
sales and donations of arms which went up by 150 per cent in the same period, Mr. Conable will have only
himself to blame for sounding sanctimonious if he forgets, while cautioning the Third World to go easy on
military spending, the preponderant role of the industrial countries in taking their poor brethren down the
military path by sometimes thrusting arms down their throats.
That said, the issue raised has to be squarely faced. There is no gainsaying the deleterious impact of
Defence expenditure on the overall investment and savings, agricultural and industrial production, and
economic growth and development in developing countries. There is ample evidence of its affecting

availability of resources for social services (including such vital areas as education and health). A U.N.
study has disclosed that an average of two working places can be created in civilian sectors for every
employee in the military sector. In the U.S. the job increase by diversion of $ 1 billion from the military to
the civilian sector has been computed to be as high as 51,000.
The monstrous drain of human and material resources on weapons of warfare and plans of
destruction is so mind boggling that it may make no dent on the consciousness of most laymen unless
broken into spine -chilling deprivations flowing from it.
One can therefore, readily agree with the declaration of eminent public men and renowned thinkers
from all over the world who gathered at the UN headquarters a few years ago for a symposium on
'Survival in the Nuclear Age". They said: "The consequence of failure to control the arms race has been
more confrontation and distrusts and the priority given to security issues has had unfortunate results not
just for detente between East and West but also for North-South cooperation. Governments should plan
and prepare for a process of transfer of resources from military to civil uses." It is time, too, for, to quote
Alva Myrdal, "More and more States are buying more and more insecurity at a higher and higher ' price"
and the pernicious paradox of the common people's craving in every country for peace and for basic
necessities coexisting with their government’s craze for arms continues.
Is it possible to rouse the conscience of governments and mobilize their "moral 'reserves"
towards a consummation so devoutly wished and so consistently elusive? The examples of China, the
USSR and Japan offers a semblance of hope. The share of GNP used in china for military purposes has
fallen perceptibly from 13 per cent in the Seventies to scarcely 7 per cent in 1987, the resources thus
released being channeled for activities like reforestation, family planning and agricultural development-On
May 30 this year, the Soviet president, Mr.-Mikhail Gorbachev announced an across-the-board cut of 14 per
cent in military expenditure next year, earmarking the funds thus obtained for improving social conditions.
Japan has risen to be a formidable economic power without any commensurate military build-up. The
super powers are moving steadily towards arms reduction and they could extend the principle to reducing
arms exports as well.

(a) The developing countries spend proportionality more
