R e
ad the following passage and answer the Question Nos. 13 to 18 :
The decisive shift in British Policy really came about under mass pressure in
the autumn and winter of 1945 to 46 – the months which Perderel Moon while
editing W avell’s Journal has perceptively described as ‘The Edge of a
V olcano’. V ery foolishly, the British initially decided to hold public trials of
several hundreds of the 20,000 I.N.A. prisoners (as well as dismissing from
service and detaining without trial no less than 7,000). They compounded the
folly by holding the first trial in the Red Fort, Delhi in November 1945, and
p u
tting on the dock together a Hindu, a Muslim and a Sikh (P.K. Sehgal, Shah
N a
waz, Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon). Bhulabhai Desai, Tejbahadur Sapru and
N e
hru appeared for the defence (the latter putting on his barrister’s gown after
25 years), and the Muslim League also joined the countrywide protest. On 20
N o
vember, an Intelligence Bureau note admitted that “there has seldom been a
matter which has attracted so much Indian public interest and, it is safe to say,
sympathy … this particular brand of sympathy cuts across communal barriers.’
A journalist (B. Shiva Rao) visiting the Red Fort prisoners on the same day
reported that ‘There is not the slightest feeling among them of Hindu and
Muslim … A majority of the men now awaiting trial in the Red Fort is Muslim.
Some of these men are bitter that Mr. Jinnah is keeping alive a controversy
about Pakistan.’ The British became extremely nervous about the I.N.A. spirit
spreading to the Indian Army, and in January the Punjab Governor reported that
a Lahore reception for released I.N.A. prisoners had been attended by Indian
soldiers in uniform.
 
Q13.       Which heading is more appropriate to assign to the above
passage?
(A) W avell’s Journal   (B) Role of Muslim League
(C) I.N.A. Trials             (D) Red Fort Prisoners
Answer: C
 
Q14.       The trial of P.K. Sehgal, Shah Nawaz and Gurbaksh Singh
Dhillon symbolises
(A) communal harmony
(B) threat to all religious persons
(C) threat to persons fighting for the freedom
(D) British reaction against the natives
Answer: A
