PASSAGE – I
India once gave the world the slogan ‘health is wealth’. If it goes by its own yardstick, the country must
consider itself penurious. Statistics related to health in this country tell a frightening story. There are 60
million malnourished children in India. About 100,000 of them die due to malnutrition every month. Two and
a half million children are threatened with blindness because of vitamin A deficiency. By the end of this year,
12,000 of them will lose their sight completely. Despite all the rhetoric about progress and being the most
developed of developing nations, India is literally a diseased nation. Its health statistics are worse than those
of Ghana, Vietnam, the Philippines or Mexico. Public health has never been a priority with governments in
India. As diseases and epidemics have ravaged the country and damaged its economy, the solution offered
have been ad hoc and short-term at best. It is symbolic that former school teachers and even advocates have
become Union health ministers but medical doctors have rarely done so. The cumulative impact of little
planning and a feckless leadership is an inefficient delivery system. It is more comfortable controlling
disasters than developing a preventive health mechanism.

A comparative study of particular health indices in India and other third world countries would put matters in
perspective. The touchstone of an efficient health care system is a low infant mortality rate (IMR). In India,
over the past few years the IMR has hovered around 86 per 1,000 births. Poorer countries such as Thailand,
the Philippines and even Sri Lanka have fared better with meager resources --- their being, respectively, 40,
46 and 38. These figures debunk claims that a lack of money is the essential reason for poor public health.
Being an impecunious nation contributes to India’s ills but is not the root of all evil, as politicians would have
citizens believe. Thailand’s economy is far less mature than India’s. It has been debilitated by war and AIDS.
Yet, it has half the infant mortality rate of India. A maternal mortality rate of 460 per 100,000 births, is
another statement of the dysfunctional health delivery system in India. Comparative figures range from two in
Ireland and four in Israel to 41 in South Korea and 95 In China. Similarly, it has been calculated that only 62
per cent of children in India live to enter class V. On the other hand, 98 percent do so in Turkey, 95 percent in
Sri Lanka and 85 per cent in Mexico, to cite but a few examples.

It must be appreciated that statistics reflecting public health in highly developed nations such as the United
States, Germany or Sweden have not been quoted. A comparison has only been made with countries which
share, to whatever degree, India’s social and economic problems. It is clear that distorted strategies and
inefficiency, rather than only a lack of funds, are keeping India on the sick bed. It would be pertinent to
examine the reasons behind this dismal record. For one, the health expenditure in this country is woefully low.
The World Health Organisation prescribes at least five per cent of a country’s gross national product be spirit
on health. India spends only three per cent. The health sector gets only 4.9 per cent of the Union budget. In the
United Kingdom it gets 9.5 percent and in Malaysia 6.7 per cent. Even Ghana and Congo, hardly rich
countries, allocate, respectively, 7.3 and 6.1 per cent of the national budget to health.

Public health programes in India are also marked by an urban bias. Despite official attempts to rectify the
imbalance, rural India remains largely neglected. Most well equipped hospitals are in the cities and as a
consequence, doctors prefer to practise here. A specialist posted at a rural primary health centre has at his
disposal only antacids and drugs like Septran, to which most infections are resistant. The frustration at having
to battle disease in such conditions can be expected, especially since the practitioner has been trained in the
latest techniques, in fact, the very concept of making the health system doctor-based is illogical and leads to a
waste of resources. Sending doctors to rural primary health centres is, in itself, not a panacea for all ills,
medicinal and otherwise. Adequate support facilities for pathology (in case of even a blood test) and radiology
(to conduct an x-ray) are equally important. All this requires a trained army of paramedical staff; it is here that
the true scarcity lies. For example, the nurse-doctor ratio in a country should be at least 3 : 1. In India, it is
only 1.1:1. In the light of all these factors, it is no wonder that public health standards are abysmal in India ---
and the system continues to be curative rather than preventive. Also though money cannot be an absolute
remedy, this does not justify the paltry health outlay. At the crux of the issue is the fact that heath has not
become an important aspect of overall national policy. In 1992, Bill Clinton’s election campaign was centred
around while in the United States the health issue is decisive enough to elect a candidate president, in India it
hardly finds mention in party manifestos.

PASSAGE – II
Questions of practical morals raise more difficult problems than questions of mere opinion. The thugs
honestly believe it their duty to commit murders, but the government does not acquiesce. The conscientious
objectors honestly hold the opposite opinion, and again the government does not acquiesce. Killing is a state
prerogative; it is equally criminal to do it unbidden and not to do it when bidden. The same applies to theft,
unless it is on a large scale or by one who is already rich. Thugs and thieves are men who use force in their
dealings with their neighbours, and we may lay it down broadly that the private use of force should be
prohibited except in rare cases, however conscientious may be its motive. But this principle will not justify

compelling men to use force at the bidding of the state, when they do not believe it justified by the occasion.
The punishment of conscientious objectors seems clearly a violation of individual liberty within its legitimate
sphere.

It is generally assumed without question that the state has a right to punish certain-kinds of sexual irregularity.
No one doubts that the Mormons sincerely believed polygamy to be a desirable practice, yet the United Steles
required them to abandon its legal recognition, and probably any other Christian country would have done
likewise. Nevertheless, I do not think this prohibition was wise. Polygamy is legally permitted in many parts
of the world, but is not much practised except by chiefs and potentates. If, as Europeans generally believe, it is
an undesirable custom, it is probable that the Mormons would have soon abandoned it, except perhaps for a
few men of exceptional position. If, on the other hand, it had proved a successful experiment, the world would
have acquired a piece of knowledge which it is now unable to possess, I think in all such cases the law should
only intervene when there is some injury inflicted without the consent of the injured person. It is obvious that
men and women not tolerate having their wives, or husbands selected by the state, whatever eugenists might
have to say in favour of such a plan. In this it seems clear that ordinary public opinion is in the right, not
because people choose wisely, but because any choice of their own is better than a forced marriage. What
applies to marriage ought also to apply to the choice of a trade or profession; although some men have no
marked preferences, most men greatly prefer some occupations to others, and are far more likely to be useful
citizens if they follow their preferences than if they are thwarted by a public authority.

The case of the man who has an intense conviction that he ought to do a certain kind of work is peculiar, and
perhaps not very common, but it is important because it includes some very important individuals. Joan of Arc
and Florence Nightingale defied convention in obedience to a feeling of this sort, reformers and agitators in
unpopular causes, such as Mazzini, have belonged to this class; so have many men of science. In cases of this
kind the individual conviction deserved the greatest respect, even if there seems no obvious justification for it.
Obedience to the impulse is very unlikely to do much harm, and may well do great good. The practical
difficulty is to distinguish such impulses from desires which produce similar manifestations. Many young
people wish to be authors without having an impulse to write any particular book, or wish to be painters
without having an impulse to create any particular picture. But a little experience will usually show the
difference between a genuine and a spurious impulse; and there is less harm in indulging the spurious impulse
for a time than in thwarting the impulse which is genuine. Nevertheless, the plain man almost always has a
tendency to thwart the genuine impulse because it seems anarchic and unreasonalbe, and is seldom able to
give a good account of itself in advance.

What is markedly true of some notable personalities is true, in a lesser degree, of almost every individual who
has much vigour or force of life; there is an impulse towards activity of some kind, as a rule not very definite
in youth, but growing gradually more sharply outlined under the influence of education and opportunity. The
direct impulse toward a kind of activity for its own sake must be distinguished from the desire for the
expected effects of the activity. A young man may desire the rewards of great achievement, without having
any spontaneous impulse towards the activities which lead to achievement. But those who actually achieve
much, although they may desire the rewards, have also something in their in their nature which inclines them
to choose a certain kind of work as the road which they must travel if their ambition is to be satisfied. This
artist’s impulse, as it may be called, is a thing of infinite value to the individual, and often to the world; to

respect it in oneself and in others make up nine-tenths of good life. In most human beings it is rather frail,
rather easily destroyed or disturbed; parents and teachers are too often hostile to it, and our economic system
crushes out its last remnants in young men and young women. The result is that human beings cease to be
individual, or to retain the native pride that is their birthright; they become machine-made, tame, convenient
for the bureaucrat and the drill-sergeant, capable of being tabulated in statistics without anything being
omitted. This is the fundamental evil resulting from lack of liberty; and it is an evil which is being continually
intensified as population grows more dense and the machinery of organisation grows more efficient.

70. According to the author...


(A) polygamy is bad (B) polygamy is undesirable

(A) the stale should have a very important role to play in the life of every individual.
(B) the state should not impose its morals and values on the individual..

PASSAGE – III
The hype and awareness about Internet may be relatively low in India but Indian corporates cannot escape its
impact when they go global. Dr James Martin, who is often referred to as 'the guru of the Information age' and
acknowledged as the foremost authority on the commercial and social ramifications of computers and
strategist on information technology, too is of the same opinion.

Dr. Martin says Indian managers should realise that "the corporations that they are building today will have no
relevance to the ones that they have built in the past." Cybershock awaits those who do not change. He adds
"Survival in the information age is dependent on information systems. Companies will have to custom design
and custom build their information systems to be better than the competition. In most business the internet has
brought about computer aided competition."

Debunking the "business process re-engineering" approach, Dr. Martin says "creating efficiency in an
organisation in pockets which do not delight the customer are useless. Companies need to identify those
processes that are critical in delighting the customer and make them efficient."

The Indian industry may not be able to access to largest Internet effortlessly but should understand and realise
its impact fast and do it fast with or without the support of VSNL, he says. He advocates the privatisation of
the telecommunication industry not merely to improve services but to enable Indian companies to participate
in the to increase band width is critical, he says.

Citing the example of the multibillion dollar Microsoft Corporation, which within a year did a complete U-
turn on its stance on internet and made it a critical part of its survival and growth strategy for the future, Dr
Martin says, "it is a bloodless revolution but it will leave in its wake casulties and mayhem, as well as new
types of success stories and the greatest growth rates in history: - already evident from the IPO's of Netscape
and Yahoo.

To survive in this revolution the managers of businesses will have to develop a foresight and understanding of
the impact of the computing and communication revolution due to the internet. "Those living with emotional
blocks and have fallen in love with their products and ways of working will not survive", he says.

Crediting Bill Gates for the change in strategy, Dr. Martin says managers will have to have similar emotional
capability to accept the emergence of customer preferences for products and services that may push them out
of business and change accordingly.

The impact of this revolution will not spare the individual too as evident in the Microsoft case where
thousands of people had to overnight change their way of thinking and working.

The social ramifications of this revolution would be equally drastic. Many people will suddenly realise that
they are useless, he says. Only those will survive who have the capability to learn continuously.

75. According to Dr. Martin :


(A) it is useless to create efficiency in a business in small slots
(B) the Indian industry many be able to access the Internet effortlessly
(C) the managers of business will have to develop a hindsight
(D) the past will definitely help the Indian corporates.
