SECTION - A 

READING

1. Read the following poem carefully:

                             Freedom from fear is the freedom

                             I claim for you, my motherland !

                             Freedom from the burden of ages, bending your head,

                             breaking your back, blinding your eyes to the beckoning

                             call of the future;

                             Freedom from the shackles of slumber wherewith

                             You fasten yourself in night‟s stillness,

                             mistrusting the star that speaks of truth‟s adventurous path;

                              Freedom from the anarchy of a destiny

                             whose sails are weakly yielded to the blind uncertain winds,

                             And the helm to a hand over rigid and cold as death.

                             Freedom from the insult of dwelling in a puppet‟s world.

                             where movements are started through brainless wires,

                             repeated through mindless habits,

                              where figures wait with patience and obedience for the

                              Master of show.

                              To be stirred into a moment‟s mimicry of life.

                                                                                  - Rabindranath Tagore
