Even before the remarks made by former Member of Parliament Tarun Vijay had been aired on international television, it was clear that we were in for a rambunctious debate on racism in India. After news of the unspeakably ugly treatment meted out to an African woman in Bengaluru some months ago and scenes of an African being beaten by young Indians in a mall in Greater Noida recently went viral on the Internet, Mr. Vijay set himself the task of absolving Indians of racism by reference to history and in the process opened up an issue of relevance to us ourselves. Before we turn to this, however, it may be useful to suggest some ways in which we can quickly assuage at least partially the hurt that our African students must feel, before turning vigorously to building institutions that ensure their security and encourage them to feel part of the community in India. Despite the attempts by the government to bring international students to India, the experience of foreign students here has not always been a happy one, this being particularly so for those from Africa, though there could be exceptions. Part of the problem is that there are no mechanisms in our educational institutions to enable these students to settle down and flourish. What is worse is that university authorities appear to be unaware of the need for these. This contrasts deeply with arrangements in other English-speaking countries that receive students from India. There our students are made to feel welcome and informed of the existence of institutional arrangements to cater to their concerns. Of the experiences of Indians who studied abroad, we need only recall the great affection for the British public formed by Mahatma Gandhi while he trained to be a lawyer in England. This was to last for the rest of his life even as he led a national movement against the British empire. Furthermore, from his strategy to his goals, Gandhi was inspired by western thinkers such as Henry David Thoreau and John Ruskin, which would have been unlikely had his experience of England been negative. We might want to reflect on what impression we are leaving on the young African students who come to study here. Judging by the expression of most of them on international television, it is not particularly inspiring, even though some of it may have been influenced by immediate events. It is not that we do not know what is needed right now. State governments must be instructed by the Centre to see that African students are assured of their safety and all educational institutions must with immediate effect double-up the attention they devote to their personal needs, which range from housing to food. But it is important that this initiative to welcome our overseas students does not end up as yet another government scheme to be obeyed with sullen passivity and implemented in the letter but not in spirit.

You have to tell which word will best suit the respective blank. Mark (E) as your answer if the work given in bold after the blank is your answer i.e “No change required”. Developing scientific temper is by no means easy. The easiest formula for success in this matter is for a person to become modest in the complete sense of the term. He should see things in an impersonal way, thus giving (11) [them] nature the opportunity to come into play. The workings of nature combined with positive thinking will certainly initiate the desired transformation. Thus it can be said with certainty that a person (12) [be] eminently able to turn his potential into actuality and develop such a personality as will take him towards the goal of super-achievement. Nature, being a master teacher for all human beings, can guide a person in the perfect sense. This is a gift to mankind by the Creator just as eyes and ears are. When a person sees with his eyes, there is no barrier between his eyes and what he sees. But when nature guides a person, he is often unable to accept what is before him due to some bias, complex or prejudice. The result is that nature is unable to perform its task. If, however, you are able to listen to the voice of your nature without any prejudice, just as you hear uninterruptedly with your ears, you will be able to (13) [favour] every opportunity to turn your personality into a developed one. A developed personality is another name for a complex-free personality. One who is complex-free is completely untrammeled by negative thinking. Such a person, being the product of self-development, and not of any automatic process, is (14) [fitted] to maintain his positive thinking in all situations, regardless of how (15) [injurious] they may be.
