Directions (Q No Q86-90) Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option
At about the time when the autobiography first appeared I remember reading Its opening chapters in the ill-printed pages of some Indian newspaper. They made a good impression on me, which Gandhi himself, at that time did not. The things that one associated with him – homespun cloth’, ‘soul force’ and vegetarianism-were unappealing, and his medievalist programme was obviously that not viable in a backward, starving Oy populated country. It was also apparent tha the British were making use of him, or thought they were making use of him. Strictly speaking as a nationalist, he was an enemy, but in every crisis he would exert himself to prevent violence – which from the British point of view meant preventing any effective action whatever he could be regarded as ‘our man’.
