जाति-प्रथा को यदि श्रम-विभाजन मान लिया जाए तो यह स्वाभाविक विभाजन नहीं है क्योंकि यह मनुष्य की रुचि पर आधारित है। कुशल व्यक्ति या सक्षम श्रमिक समाज का निर्माण करने के लिए यह आवश्यक है कि हम व्यक्ति की क्षमता इस सीमा तक विकसित करें, जिससे वह अपने पेशे या कार्य का चुनाव स्वयं कर सके। इस सिद्धांत के विपरीत जाति-प्रथा का दूषित सिद्धांत यह है कि इससे मनुष्य के प्रशिक्षण अथवा उसकी निजी क्षमता का विचार किए बिना, दूसरे ही दृष्टिकोण जैसे माता-पिता के सामाजिक स्तर के अनुसार पहले से ही अर्थात गर्भधारण के समय से ही मनुष्य का पेशा निर्धारित कर दिया जाता है।
जाति-प्रथा पेशे का दोषपूर्ण पूर्वनिर्धारण ही नहीं करती, बल्कि मनुष्य को जीवन-भर के लिए एक पेशे में बाँध भी देती है, भले ही पेशा अनुपयुक्त या अपर्याप्त होने के कारण वह भूखों मर जाए। आधुनिक युग में यह स्थिति प्रायः आती है क्योंकि उद्योग धंधे की प्रक्रिया व तकनीक में निरंतर विकास और कभी-कभी अकस्मात परिवर्तन हो जाता है, जिसके कारण मनुष्य को अपना पेशा बदलने की आवश्यकता पड़ सकती है और यदि प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों में भी मनुष्य को अपना पेशा बदलने की स्वतंत्रता न हो तो इसके लिए भूखे मरने के अलावा क्या चारा रह जाता है? हिंदू धर्म की जाति प्रथा किसी भी व्यक्ति को ऐसा पेशा चुनने की अनुमति नहीं देती है, जो उसका पैतृक पेशा न हो, भले ही वह उसमें पारंगत है। इस प्रकार पेशा-परिवर्तन की अनुमति न देकर जाति-प्रथा भारत में बेरोजगारी का एक प्रमुख व प्रत्यक्ष कारण बनी हुई है।

निर्देश: दिए गए पद्यांश को पढकर निम्नलिखित प्रश्नों के सही विकल्प छाँटिएI
क्या रोकेंगे प्रलय मेघ ये, क्या विद्युत-धन के नर्तन,
मुझे न साथी रोक सकेंगे, सागर के गर्जन-तर्जन।
मैं अविराम पथिक अलबेला रुके न मेरे कभी चरण,
शूलों के बदले फूलों का किया न मैंने मित्र चयन।
मैं विपदाओं में मुसकाता नव आशा के दीप लिए
फिर मुझको क्या रोक सकेंगे जीवन के उत्थान-पतन,
मैं अटका कब, कब विचलित में, सतत डगर मेरी संबल
रोक सकी पगले कब मुझको यह युग की प्राचीर निबल
आँधी हो, ओले-वर्षा हों, राह सुपरिचित है मेरी,
फिर मुझको क्या डरा सकेंगे ये जग के खंडन-मंडन।
मुझे डरा पाए कब अंधड़, ज्वालामुखियों के कंपन,
मुझे पथिक कब रोक सके हैं अग्निशिखाओं के नर्तन।
मैं बढ़ता अविराम निरंतर तन-मन में उन्माद लिए,
फिर मुझको क्या डरा सकेंगे, ये बादल-विद्युत नर्तन।

विज्ञान ने प्राचीन काल के ऋषियों-मुनियों और गुरूओं के मंत्रों और अस्त्रों के प्रयोग को आज विभिन्न प्रकार के आविष्कारों द्वारा सत्य कर दिया है। रामायण काल के पुष्पक विमान, वर्षा, अग्नि, वायु आदि की शक्तियों को प्रकट करने वाले बाणों, समुद्र सोख कर जमीन निकालने वाले मंत्र से चलने वाले अद्भुत बाण-अस्त्र, महाभारतकालीन संजय की प्राप्त हुई दिव्य-दृष्टि आदि को साक्षात् और सत्य करने के लिए विज्ञान ने हमें बहुत कुछ उपलब्ध करा दिया है।
मनुष्य विज्ञान की सहायता से शारीरिक कमज़ोरियों एवं स्वास्थ्य संबंधी समस्याओं से निजात पाने में सक्षम हो गया है। ऐसी असाध्य बीमारियों का इलाज भी संभव है, जिन्हें पहले लाइलाज समझा जाता था। अब टीबी सहित कैंसर जैसी खतरनाक बीमारियों को शुरुआती स्तर पर ही समाप्त करना संभव हो गया है।
विज्ञान का सहयोग मनुष्य के लिए एक अभिशाप के रूप में भी सामने आया है। विज्ञान की सहायता से मानव ने घातक हथियारों का आविष्कार किया तथा साथ ही मनुष्य ने अपने सुख-चैन के लिए अनेक प्रकार की मशीनों को भी आविष्कार किया, किंतु अफ़सोस की बात यह है कि मशीन के साथ-साथ वह भी मशीन होता जा रहा है, जिसके कारण उसकी जीवन-शैली भी अत्यंत व्यस्त हो गई है।

Q. महाभारत काल में किस व्यक्ति को दिव्य-दृष्टि प्राप्त होने की बात कही गई है?

Direction: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.
The big fuss about consensus management is an issue that boils down to a lot of noise about not much. The consensus advocates are great admirers of the Japanese management style. Consensus is what Japan is famous for. Well, I know the Japanese fairly well: They still remember Douglas MacArthur with respect, and they still bow down to their Emperor. In my dealings with them, I found that they talk a lot about consensus, but there's always one guy behind the scenes who ends up making the tough decisions. It doesn't make sense to me to think that Mr. Toyoda or Mr. Morita of Sony sits around in committee meetings and says, "We've got to get everybody in this organization, from the janitor up, to agree with this move". The Japanese believe in their workers' involvement early on in the decision-making process and in feedback from employees. And they probably listen better than we do. But you can bet that when the chips are down, the yen stops at the top guy's desk. So, we're wasting time trying toDirection: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.

Business structures are microcosms of other structures. There were no corporations in the fifteenth century. But there were families. There were city governments, provinces, and armies. There was the Church. All of them had, for lack of a better word, a pecking order.
Why? Because that's the only way you can steer clear of anarchy. Otherwise, you'll have somebody come in one morning and tell you: "Yesterday I got tired of painting red convertibles, so today I switched to all baby-blues on my own". You'll never get anything done right that way.
What's to admire about consensus management anyway? By its very nature, it's slow. It can never be daring. There can never be real accountability - or flexibility. About the only plus that I've been able to figure out is that consensus management means consistency of direction and objectives. And so much consistency can become faceless, and that's a problem too. In any event, I don't think it can work in this country. The fun of business for entrepreneurs, big or small, lies in the free enterprise system, not in the greatest agreement by the greatest number.
