Answer: (Wrong question)











Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage:





The British political theorist John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) called for the right to self-determinationonly in particular instances. In Considerations on Representative Government (1861), he argued that the homogeneity of national identity, of a “united public opinion,” is necessary to allow the establishment of free political institutions. The unified nation, rather than the multinational state, formed the fundamental political unit. Its existence is a necessary precondition for free government. The other prerequisites were economic and social development, and those nations which, like India, lagged behind, were legitimate objects of an “enlightened” colonialism for which the British provided a model.





As early as 1909, Rosa Luxemburg (1870-1919), the exiled Polish socialist leader in Germany, provided a socialist view of the right to self-determination. In The National Question and Autonomy (1909), she maintained that socialist concessions to claims for national rights were usually pointless and counterproductive. Yet in opposition to future Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, she favoured claims to self-determination by oppressed people so long as their economies could survive independence. Attacking the Polish nationalists of her day, Luxemburg argued that secession from Russia would undermine the interests of the Polish proletariat. Such rights were utopian for industrially backward countries, like Poland and Czechoslovakia, whose economic development depended on the market of their mother country. Luxemburg also warned that any alliance of the working class with the nationalist bourgeoisie of oppressed countries would subvert the future establishment of democratic and socialist regimes.





From a very different perspective, the liberal President Woodrow Wilson (1856- 1924) proclaimed in his “The Fourteen Points Address” to Congress (1918) the right of ethnic groups to national self-determination: “it is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with another, whether they be strong or weak.” These rights, he hoped, could be realized by a League of Nations, which would establish borders based on homogenous ethnic groups, thereby presumably removing a major cause of war.





Inspired by Wilson, the League of Nations, was an international organization established after World War I to provide peace and security, and to facilitate humancooperation. The Covenant of The League ofNations (1919) sought humane working conditions, the prohibition of traffic in women and children, the prevention and control of disease, and the just treatment of colonial peoples. The League of Nations placed the people of the colonies under a system of mandates administered by the victorious colonial powers, who agreed to bring the mandate territories toward self-Government. The administering powers were responsible for ensuring racial and religious impartiality in those territories.











47. Who among the following favoured grant of right to self-determination only on the basis of ethnicity?





(A) Rosa Luxemburg





(B) Woodrow Wilson





(C) John Stuart Mill





(D) None of the above





Answer: (B)











48. Necessary pre-condition for free Government according to J.S. Mill is





(A) Unified Nation





(B) Multinational State





(C) Cultural Homogeneity





(D) Cultural Heterogeneity

(A) Poland was ethnically not different Russia





(B) Right to self-determination by industrially backward countries was not justified.





(C) Communism does not favourright to self-determination.





(D) None of the above





Answer: (B)











50. The covenant of League of Nations favoured





(A) Immediate grant of right to self-determination to colonial people.





(B) Continuation of colonial rule as it existed before 1919.





(C) Placement of colonies under a system of mandates administered by victorious colonial powers.

Answer: (C)
