Read the passage carefully and answer briefly the questions (Q. 96 to 100)
    appended below :
         People talk of memorials to him in statues of bronze or marble or pillars and thus they
    mock him and belie his message. What tribute shall we pay to him that he would have
    appreciated ? He has shown us the way to live and the way to die and if we have not
    understood that lesson, it would be better that we raised no memorial to him, for the only
    fit memorial is to follow reverently in the path he showed us and to do our duty in life and
    in death.
         He was a Hindu and an Indian, the greatest in many generations, and he was proud of
    being a Hindu and an Indian. To him India was dear, because she had represented
    throughout the ages certain immutable truths. But though he was intensely religious and
    came to be called the Father of the Nation which he had liberated, yet no narrow religious
    or national bonds confined his spirit. And so he became the great internationalist, believing
    in the essential unity of man, the underlying unity of all religions, and the needs of
    humanity, and more specially devoting himself to the service of the poor, the distressed and
    the oppressed millions everywhere.
         His death brought more tributes than have been paid at the passing of any other
    human being in history. Perhaps what would have pleased him best was the spontaneous
    tributes that came from the people of Pakistan. On the morrow of the tragedy, all of us
    forgot for a while the bitterness that had crept in, the estrangement and conflict of these
    past months and Gandhiji stood out as the beloved champion and leader of the people of
    India, as it was before partition cut up this living nation.
          What was his great power over the mind and heart of man due to ? Even we realize,
    that his dominating passion was truth. That truth led him to proclaim without ceasing that
    good ends can never be attained by evil methods, that the end itself is distorted if the
    method pursued is bad. That truth led him to confess publicly whenever he thought he had
    made a mistake - Himalayan errors, he called some of his own mistakes. That truth led
    him to fight en1 and untruth wherever he found them, regardless of the consequences. That
    truth made the service of the poor and the dispossessed the passion of his life, for where
,   there is inequality and discrimination and suppression there is injustice and en1 and
    untruth. And thus he became the beloved of all those who have suffered from social and
    political evils, and the great representative of humanity as it should be. Because of that
    truth in him wherever he sat became a temple and where he trod was.hallowed ground.
