Question

According to the passage, which was the unfinished part of Gandhi's experiment?

• A. True egalitarianism can be achieved by giving up one's possessions under compulsion
• B. Man values his life more than his possessions
• C. Possessive instinct is a natural desire of human beings
• D. In the political struggle, the fight was against alien rule.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Possessive instinct is a natural desire of human beings

In the opening two sentences we get a clear picture of Gandhi's real intention in establishing a society based on the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities. These qualities are basic to an egalitarian society. Though Gandhiji achieved political freedom, he could not establish his desired social order. Therefore option (c) is correct.
