Question Description
Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.In this world of devastating, unsustainable and rising inequalities, facing a climate crisis and a global deficit of care, we desperately need to rethink how we live and what we value. So, it is wonderful and important to feature indigenous values and ways of life, as we have a great deal to learn from them, not just for the future of India, but for the future of the world. Too often, indigenous communities- like the Adivasis in India- have been cast out from the society as ‘wild’, ‘savage’ and, of course, very poor. But, in fact, many such indigenous people are communities of unfathomable riches that extend beyond crude measures of GDP or income or assets. Adivasi wealth lies in the values they hold, the ways they lead their lives with each other, the kind of communities they build. With just three examples, by considering art, the environment and gender relations in indigenous communities, this point would be clear. Travelling through the forests of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh or Odisha, it is hard not to have our breath taken away by the wonders of these regions- this is not only for the beauty of these forests but for the Adivasi villages therein, which are incredibly clean and picturesque. Further, in these villages, art is not the preserve of elites for exhibition- one can see art in the craftsmanship of a teak door, in the cheery swirls of the hand-painting upon mud walls. One can hear it in the song of monsoon rain drops playing on handmade roof. One can feel it in the linking of arms in the village dancing circle, people singing together and playing drums. Art here is joy, created by everyone for everyone, encompassing life itself. The indigenous worldview around the environment is similar. The environment is not perceived as a commodity to be exploited, harvested and conquered, but it is instead a commons to be enjoyed and shared by all. There is no separation between nature and culture. The ancestors inhabit the waters, the forests and the landscape. And those who have passed have to be cared for, or they would get angry and unleash the forces of the environment. Adivasis therefore deeply nurture and protect the environment around them as our commonwealth, a bridge between the ancestors and those who will follow us after. Equally remarkable is the indigenous perspective on gender relations. What is so extraordinary about these forest areas is the much greater status, respect and freedom women within these have as compared to their counterparts in the agricultural plains. Women danced and drank homemade brew, rice beer and wine made from the mahua flower alongside men. Indigenous women worked outside their homes and they often held the strings of the purse as well. Women had the freedom to leave bad relationships or start new ones without being ostracised. In some ways, indigenous women had many of the freedoms that feminists have so long fought for and that are so hard to find in much of India.Q. Which pair of words are synonyms of ‘indigenous’?(i) aboriginal(ii) expatriate(iii) autochthonous(iv) adventitiousa)i, iii and ivb)ii and iv onlyc)i and iii onlyd)i and iv onlyCorrect answer is option 'C'.
