Read
the following passage and answer the questions 11 to 15:
Gandhi's
overall social and environmental philosophy is based on what human beings need
rather than what they want. His early introduction to the teachings of Jains,
Theosophists, Christian sermons, Ruskin and Tolstoy, and most significantly the
Bhagavad Gita, were to have profound impact on the development of Gandhi's
holistic thinking on humanity, nature and their ecological interrelation. His
deep concern for the disadvantaged, the poor and rural population created an
ambience for an alternative social thinking that was at once far-sighted, local
and immediate. For Gandhi was acutely aware that the demands generated by the
need to feed and sustain human life, compounded by the growing industrialization
of India, far outstripped the finite resources of nature. This might nowadays
appear naive or commonplace, but such pronouncements were as rare as they were
heretical a century ago. Gandhi was also concerned about the destruction, under
colonial and modernist designs, of the existing infrastructures which had more
potential for keeping a community flourishing within ecologically-sensitive
traditional patterns of subsistence, especially in the rural areas, than did
the incoming Western alternatives based on nature-blind technology and the
enslavement of human spirit and energies.
Perhaps
the moral principle for which Gandhi is best known is that of active
non-violence, derived from the traditional moral restraint of not injuring
another being. The most refined expression of this value is in the great epic
of the Mahabharata, (c. 100 BCE to 200 CE), where moral development proceeds
through placing constraints on the liberties, desires and acquisitiveness
endemic to human life. One's action is judged in terms of
consequences and the impact it is likely to have on another. Jainas had
generalized this principle to include all sentient creatures and biocommunities
alike. Advanced Jaina monks and nuns will sweep their path to avoid harming
insects and even bacteria. Non-injury is a non-negotiable universal
prescription.
