freedom but establishment of a social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and 
peace, equality and universal brotherhood. In establishing the social order of his pattern,

to ashes. The new order cannot be established without radically changing men’s mind and 
attitude towards property.

 Direction : In Question Nos. 89 to 92, read the passage and choose the correct answer 
from the given options. 
 
 The work which Gandhi ji had taken in hand was not only the achievement of political 
freedom but establishment of a social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and 
peace, equality and universal brotherhood. In establishing the social order of his pattern, 
there was lively possibility of a conflict arising between groups and classes of our own 
people. Experience shows that man values his possessions because here he sees the 
means of perpetuation and survival through his descendants even after his body is reduced 
to ashes. The new order cannot be established without radically changing men’s mind and 
attitude towards property.
