The Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi, one of the most influential leaders in Indian history, was born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. Gandhi is best known for his role in leading India to independence from British rule through nonviolent resistance. His philosophy of satyagraha (truth-force) and ahimsa (nonviolence) inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi’s leadership was pivotal during major events such as the Salt March of 1930, where he led a 240-mile protest against the British monopoly on salt production. His commitment to nonviolent protest made him a global icon for peaceful resistance. Gandhi’s influence extended beyond politics; he also emphasized self-reliance and simple living.

Q3: Read the passage and answer the questions given below:   [2 × 5 = 10 Marks]
In a quiet village surrounded by lush green hills, there lived a young boy named Samir. Samir loved to spend his afternoons in the meadow near his house, watching the birds fly above him and listening to the rustling of the leaves. He had a special place in the meadow where a large oak tree stood. This tree had been there for many years, and Samir often sat beneath its shade, feeling peaceful and connected to nature.
One afternoon, as Samir was resting under the oak tree, he noticed something strange. A small bird, with bright feathers, was perched on one of the branches. The bird seemed to be looking at Samir intently as if trying to tell him something. Samir, curious as ever, decided to approach the bird. As he got closer, the bird flew down and landed on the ground beside him.
To Samir's surprise, the bird spoke, "I have a message for you." Samir, amazed and a little frightened, listened closely. "You must take care of the tree," the bird continued. "This tree holds the key to the village's happiness. Without it, the village will lose its charm." The bird flew away before Samir could ask any more questions.
Samir sat for a long time, thinking about what the bird had said. He realized that the oak tree, which he had always thought of as just a tree, was much more important than he had ever known.
