Passage 1
A controversy has arisen about this: whether it is better to be loved than feared, or vice versa. My view is that it is desirable to be both loved and feared; but it is difficult to achieve both and, if one of them has to be lacking, it is much safer to be feared than loved.
For this may be said of men generally: they are ungrateful, fickle, feigners and dissemblers, avoiders of danger, eager for gain. While you benefit them they are all devoted to you: they would shed their blood for you; they offer their possessions, their lives, and their sons, as I said before, when the need to do so is far off. But when you are hard pressed, they turn away. A ruler who has relied completely on their promises, and has neglected to prepare other defences, will be ruined, because friendships that are acquired with money, and not through greatness and nobility of character, are paid for but not secured, and prove unreliable just when they are needed (Source: Niccolo Machiavelli. 2008. The Prince. Edited by Quentin Skinner and Russel Price. Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University, p.59)

A. It is better to be loved
B. It is better to be feared

D. It is better to be loved than feared or better to be.feared than loved
62. It is desirable to be:
A. Loved
B. Feared
C. More feared than loved

63. If one cannot be loved, then:
A. Itis better not to be loved
B. It is better to be feared than loved
C. Itis better to be feared and loved
D. Itis better neither to be feared nor loved
64. Generally speaking, men are:
A. Virtuous, kind and just
B. Ungrateful, fickle and feigners

Passage 2
Bureaucracy in India is largely the same as was set in motion during the British rule, following, thus the Weberian model: a combination of generalists and specialists, hierarchical organisation, functioning through set of rules and procedures and non-political, non-committed at work. There is a change in post independent India -bureaucracy seeking to perform duties in the development and modernisation of the country, and in the process has moved towards committing itself to the political chiefs.
To implement the programme and policies of the political leadership effectively, bureaucracy, as in India and elsewhere in the developing societies, has to adjust itself and be responsive to the new tasks and challenges. In addition to the administrative functions like policing and revenue collection, bureaucracy is moving towards developmental administration. The concept of welfare state and developmental administration has radically transformed the nature of administration, bureaucrat who is no more the lord,but a public servant.
The significant changes happening around since 1990 have led to a change in the role of bureaucracy. The state now is withdrawing to give enterprise a larger share in economic activities. Bureaucracy is now becoming highly technocratic and highly professional. The state and bureaucracy are no more nanny.

Passage 3
History, however, does not progress merely on the lines prescribed by those who were involved in crafting the present. It would not move in the same manner that the rulers liked to move. In the case of India under the British rule a group of people emerged who by virtue of their exposure to concepts such as liberty, equality and fraternity, began dreaming of constructing in India a mirror image of the society and the socia-economic set-up that prevailed in the West in their times. The rise of the new order in Europe on the ruins of the feudal set-up and the notion of modernity influenced the thought process of the English-educated intelligentsia in India at that time. Raja Rammohun Roy was such a leader. He was not alone. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Akshay Kumar Dutt in Bengal, the Aligarh Movement of which Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was a leading light, the powerful tradition of social reforms pioneered by Mahadev Govind Ranade in Maharashtra was developed into a powerful tradition of few steps forward. In South India it was Sri Narayana Guru whose campaign for reforms laid the foundation for substantive changes in the socio-economic set-up that prevailed in his region. All these reformers had a sense of purpose. The social relations and the customs that guided the social1ife at that time, in their perception, were bound to stop the progress of India. Their vision for progress was also guided by the perception that the British officers were committed to carve out in India a mirror image of the society of England. This led them to look at the Company's officers as potential collaborators. Rammohun Roy found more than a mere collaborator in Lord William Bentinck and Vidyasagar found tremendous support from the government in his campaign against child marriage.
Itwas not as if the nineteenth-century reformers were anti-religion. Rammohun Roy was not contemptuous of religion as such. His approach was that religious practices based on scriptures and rituals were a hindrance to progress. Vidyasagar similarly based his campaign on the premise that there was nothing in the scriptures that legitimized child marriage. Syed Ahmed Khan was also of the view that if Islam did not keep pace with changing times, it would get fossilized. In other words, the force behind the nineteenth century reformers was that of universalism. This perception, hence, was that it was possible to construct a social set-up in India similar to the one that came into existence in Europe after industrial revolution.
Unlike the aforesaid social reformers who perceived British rule in India as an opportunity to lead the society into modernity and hence supported the East India Company and its rule, the intellectuals who emerged on the scene towards the end of nineteenth century were able to place self-rule as a precondition for India's passage to modernity. In their perception, the march towards modernity was not just a social agenda. They were clear that the transition in the society would be possible only in the event of a transformation in the economy. They considered India's development into a capitalist society as a necessary precondition to the building of a liberal social order. This indeed laid the foundation for the emergence of nationalist thought in India. Dadabhai Naoroji was a pioneer in this group. His drain theory of wealth of India demonstrated the deleterious impact of British rule on Indian economy. This group of intellectuals and their successors raised demands for self rule which strengthened the national movement in twentieth century in India.

Passage 4
Indeed, it was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of Cold War that India's foreign policy would undergo a fundamental shift and acquire renewed relevance. Once again, personal, national and systemic factors induced these changes in its foreign policy. There is little question that PM Narasimha Rao, who had assumed the premiership in the aftermath of PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, recognized the need for a drastic re-appraisal of India's foreign policy goals and aspirations. Ironically, national circumstances and systemic forces also induced him to make these changes. Nationally, the country was faced with an unprecedented financial crisis and piecemeal efforts to resolve it would not enable it to address its underlying causes. Systemic forces also induced India to chart a new course. The Soviet collapse meant that India could no longer rely on the support and protection of a veto-wielding superpower. Nor could it count on the principal successor state, Russia, to continue to contain the growth of China's military prowess and possible future revanchism.
The transformation of India's foreign policy was nothing short of dramatic. The country dropped its reflexive, neuralgic hostility towards the US, upgraded its diplomatic ties with Israel, continued cautious attempts to improve its relations with PRC, and made a major effort to court the countries of SoutheastAsia. These shifts in foreign policy orientation also led India to all but· abandon its professed commitment to universal nuclear disarmament. Once again, personal, national, and systemic factors played critical roles in driving India down the. path of acquiring an overt nuclear capability. At personal level, PM Rajiv Gandhi, and subsequently PM Narasimha Rao, had become increasingly convinced that Pakistan's growing nuclear capabilities posed a threat to India. Furthermore, the successful unconditional and indefinite extension of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty made even the most ardent exponents of nuclear disarmament in India realize that the nuclear weapon states had little or no· interest in containing their own nuclear arsenals, let alone undertake serious steps towards universal nuclear disarmament. Not surprisingly, the country chose to cross the nuclear Rubicon in May 1998. Despite initial and widespread disapprobation from the US and many of the other great powers, India was grudgingly accepted as a de facto nuclear weapon state. More to the point, under the second George W. Bush administration, India successfully negotiated a civilian nuclear deal with the US which effectively enabled it to participate in global nuclear commerce under aegis of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards (Source: Sumit Ganguly. 2010. India's Foreign PoliCt): Retrospect and Prospect. New York: Oxford University Press, p.4)

Passage 5
The stability of any given democracy depends not only on economic development but also upon the effectiveness and. the legitimacy of its political system. Effectiveness means actual performance, the extent to which the system satisfies the basic functions of government as most of the population and such powerful groups within it as big business or the armed forces see them. Legitimacy involves the capacity of the system to engender and maintain the belief that the existing political institutions are the most appropriate ones for the society. The extent to which contemporary democratic political systems are legitimate depends in large measure upon the ways in which the key issues which have historically divided the society have been resolved.
While effectiveness is primarily instrumental, legitimacy is evaluative. Groups regard a political system as legitimate or illegitimate according to the way in which its values fit with theirs. Important segments of the German Army, civil service, and aristocratic classes rejected the Weimar Republic not because it was ineffective, but because its symbolism and basic values negated their own. Legitimacy, in and of itself, may be associated with many forms of political organization, including oppressive ones. Feudal societies, before the advent of industrialism, undoubtedly enjoyed the basic loyalty of most of their members. Crises of legitimacy are primarily a recent historical phenomenon, following the rise of sharp cleavages among groups which are able, because of mass communication, to organize around different values than those previously considered to be the only acceptable ones (Source: Seymour Martin Lipset. 1960. Political Man: The Social Basis ofPolitics. New York: Doubleday and Company Inc., pp. 77-78). Answer question nos. 93-100 based on the passage above.

Passage 1
A controversy has arisen about this: whether it is better to be loved than feared, or vice versa. My view is that it is desirable to be both loved and feared; but it is difficult to achieve both and, if one of them has to be lacking, it is much safer to be feared than loved.
For this may be said of men generally: they are ungrateful, fickle, feigners and dissemblers, avoiders of danger, eager for gain. While you benefit them they are all devoted to you: they would shed their blood for you; they offer their possessions, their lives, and their sons, as I said before, when the need to do so is far off. But when you are hard pressed, they turn away. A ruler who has relied completely on their promises, and has neglected to prepare other defences, will be ruined, because friendships that are acquired with money, and not through greatness and nobility of character, are paid for but not secured, and prove unreliable just when they are needed (Source: Niccolo Machiavelli. 2008. The Prince. Edited by Quentin Skinner and Russel Price. Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University, p.59)

Passage 2
Bureaucracy in India is largely the same as was set in motion during the British rule, following, thus the Weberian model: a combination of generalists and specialists, hierarchical organisation, functioning through set of rules and procedures and non-political, non-committed at work. There is a change in post independent India -bureaucracy seeking to perform duties in the development and modernisation of the country, and in the process has moved towards committing itself to the political chiefs.
To implement the programme and policies of the political leadership effectively, bureaucracy, as in India and elsewhere in the developing societies, has to adjust itself and be responsive to the new tasks and challenges. In addition to the administrative functions like policing and revenue collection, bureaucracy is moving towards developmental administration. The concept of welfare state and developmental administration has radically transformed the nature of administration, bureaucrat who is no more the lord,but a public servant.
The significant changes happening around since 1990 have led to a change in the role of bureaucracy. The state now is withdrawing to give enterprise a larger share in economic activities. Bureaucracy is now becoming highly technocratic and highly professional. The state and bureaucracy are no more nanny.

Passage 3
History, however, does not progress merely on the lines prescribed by those who were involved in crafting the present. It would not move in the same manner that the rulers liked to move. In the case of India under the British rule a group of people emerged who by virtue of their exposure to concepts such as liberty, equality and fraternity, began dreaming of constructing in India a mirror image of the society and the socia-economic set-up that prevailed in the West in their times. The rise of the new order in Europe on the ruins of the feudal set-up and the notion of modernity influenced the thought process of the English-educated intelligentsia in India at that time. Raja Rammohun Roy was such a leader. He was not alone. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Akshay Kumar Dutt in Bengal, the Aligarh Movement of which Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was a leading light, the powerful tradition of social reforms pioneered by Mahadev Govind Ranade in Maharashtra was developed into a powerful tradition of few steps forward. In South India it was Sri Narayana Guru whose campaign for reforms laid the foundation for substantive changes in the socio-economic set-up that prevailed in his region. All these reformers had a sense of purpose. The social relations and the customs that guided the social1ife at that time, in their perception, were bound to stop the progress of India. Their vision for progress was also guided by the perception that the British officers were committed to carve out in India a mirror image of the society of England. This led them to look at the Company's officers as potential collaborators. Rammohun Roy found more than a mere collaborator in Lord William Bentinck and Vidyasagar found tremendous support from the government in his campaign against child marriage.
Itwas not as if the nineteenth-century reformers were anti-religion. Rammohun Roy was not contemptuous of religion as such. His approach was that religious practices based on scriptures and rituals were a hindrance to progress. Vidyasagar similarly based his campaign on the premise that there was nothing in the scriptures that legitimized child marriage. Syed Ahmed Khan was also of the view that if Islam did not keep pace with changing times, it would get fossilized. In other words, the force behind the nineteenth century reformers was that of universalism. This perception, hence, was that it was possible to construct a social set-up in India similar to the one that came into existence in Europe after industrial revolution.
Unlike the aforesaid social reformers who perceived British rule in India as an opportunity to lead the society into modernity and hence supported the East India Company and its rule, the intellectuals who emerged on the scene towards the end of nineteenth century were able to place self-rule as a precondition for India's passage to modernity. In their perception, the march towards modernity was not just a social agenda. They were clear that the transition in the society would be possible only in the event of a transformation in the economy. They considered India's development into a capitalist society as a necessary precondition to the building of a liberal social order. This indeed laid the foundation for the emergence of nationalist thought in India. Dadabhai Naoroji was a pioneer in this group. His drain theory of wealth of India demonstrated the deleterious impact of British rule on Indian economy. This group of intellectuals and their successors raised demands for self rule which strengthened the national movement in twentieth century in India.

Passage 4
Indeed, it was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of Cold War that India's foreign policy would undergo a fundamental shift and acquire renewed relevance. Once again, personal, national and systemic factors induced these changes in its foreign policy. There is little question that PM Narasimha Rao, who had assumed the premiership in the aftermath of PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, recognized the need for a drastic re-appraisal of India's foreign policy goals and aspirations. Ironically, national circumstances and systemic forces also induced him to make these changes. Nationally, the country was faced with an unprecedented financial crisis and piecemeal efforts to resolve it would not enable it to address its underlying causes. Systemic forces also induced India to chart a new course. The Soviet collapse meant that India could no longer rely on the support and protection of a veto-wielding superpower. Nor could it count on the principal successor state, Russia, to continue to contain the growth of China's military prowess and possible future revanchism.
The transformation of India's foreign policy was nothing short of dramatic. The country dropped its reflexive, neuralgic hostility towards the US, upgraded its diplomatic ties with Israel, continued cautious attempts to improve its relations with PRC, and made a major effort to court the countries of SoutheastAsia. These shifts in foreign policy orientation also led India to all but· abandon its professed commitment to universal nuclear disarmament. Once again, personal, national, and systemic factors played critical roles in driving India down the. path of acquiring an overt nuclear capability. At personal level, PM Rajiv Gandhi, and subsequently PM Narasimha Rao, had become increasingly convinced that Pakistan's growing nuclear capabilities posed a threat to India. Furthermore, the successful unconditional and indefinite extension of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty made even the most ardent exponents of nuclear disarmament in India realize that the nuclear weapon states had little or no· interest in containing their own nuclear arsenals, let alone undertake serious steps towards universal nuclear disarmament. Not surprisingly, the country chose to cross the nuclear Rubicon in May 1998. Despite initial and widespread disapprobation from the US and many of the other great powers, India was grudgingly accepted as a de facto nuclear weapon state. More to the point, under the second George W. Bush administration, India successfully negotiated a civilian nuclear deal with the US which effectively enabled it to participate in global nuclear commerce under aegis of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards (Source: Sumit Ganguly. 2010. India's Foreign PoliCt): Retrospect and Prospect. New York: Oxford University Press, p.4)

Passage 5
The stability of any given democracy depends not only on economic development but also upon the effectiveness and. the legitimacy of its political system. Effectiveness means actual performance, the extent to which the system satisfies the basic functions of government as most of the population and such powerful groups within it as big business or the armed forces see them. Legitimacy involves the capacity of the system to engender and maintain the belief that the existing political institutions are the most appropriate ones for the society. The extent to which contemporary democratic political systems are legitimate depends in large measure upon the ways in which the key issues which have historically divided the society have been resolved.
While effectiveness is primarily instrumental, legitimacy is evaluative. Groups regard a political system as legitimate or illegitimate according to the way in which its values fit with theirs. Important segments of the German Army, civil service, and aristocratic classes rejected the Weimar Republic not because it was ineffective, but because its symbolism and basic values negated their own. Legitimacy, in and of itself, may be associated with many forms of political organization, including oppressive ones. Feudal societies, before the advent of industrialism, undoubtedly enjoyed the basic loyalty of most of their members. Crises of legitimacy are primarily a recent historical phenomenon, following the rise of sharp cleavages among groups which are able, because of mass communication, to organize around different values than those previously considered to be the only acceptable ones (Source: Seymour Martin Lipset. 1960. Political Man: The Social Basis ofPolitics. New York: Doubleday and Company Inc., pp. 77-78). Answer question nos. 93-100 based on the passage above.
