Model Questions for UPSC PRE CSAT PAPER SET - 4

Passage 1: Instruction for question- read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Your answers to the questions should be based on the passage only.

The Naxal dominated districts in India also hold the same distinction they not only have some of the worst human development as well as economy indicators in India but equally that the communities living there have been victims of injustice (Anayaya), as Amartya Sen would say, Some thing deeper and broader than niti & law. This has been the underlay for the armed conflict. The views of women, active in both the theoretical and practical processes of peacemaking, suggest the need to move beyond simply incorporating a ‘women’s perspective’ or claiming that their societal roles give them generic values in peace building. The argument of this paper is that it is only through building economically just and politically democratic system that enduring peace can be put on the ground, and that women’s particular experience of injustice, their reconstruction of economic reasoning, as well as their special location and experience in grass roots and community oriented wake, gives them both the intellectual and practical skills for building those peaceful spaces. In that sense Gandhi’s thought was that ‘the women of India should have as much share in wining swaraj as men. Probably in this peaceful struggle women can outride man by many a mile, is sophisticated and appropriate, for that she first posits equality of presence and then the firmness of women can outdistance men.
