Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions that

A tiger-like husband

This is a summary of a story from the Adi Parvan of the Mahabharata :

The Pandavas had fled into the forest. They were tired and
fell asleep; only Bhima, the second Pandava, renowned for
his prowess, was keeping watch. A man-eating rakshasa
caught the scent of the Pandavas and sent his sister
Hidimba to capture them. She fell in love with Bhima,
transformed herself into a lovely maiden and proposed to
him. He refused. Meanwhile, the rakshasa arrived and
challenged Bhima to a wrestling match. Bhima accepted
the challenge and killed him. The others woke up hearing
the noise. Hidimba introduced herself, and declared her
love for Bhima. She told Kunti : ‘‘I have forsaken my
friends, my dharma and my kin; and good lady, chosen
your tiger-like son for my man ... whether you think me a
fool, or your devoted servant, let me join you, great lady,
with your son as my husband.’’

61/2/1 7 P.T.O.
 Ultimately, Yudhisthira agreed to the marriage on the
condition that they would spend the day together but that
Bhima would return every night. The couple roamed all
over the world during the day. In due course Hidimba gave
birth to a rakshasa boy named Ghatotkacha. Then the
mother and son left the Pandavas. Ghatotkacha promised
to return to the Pandavas whenever they needed him.

Some historians suggest that term rakshasa is used to

describe people whose practices differed from those laid
down in the Brahmanical texts.

(15.1) Why were Hidimba’s social practices not influenced by the

Brahmanical ideas ?

(15.2) Why was Hidimba’s clan considered as uncivilised in the

Sanskrit text ?

(15.3) How was the philosophy of dharamsutras about the endogamy

not applied in the story ?

Read the following extract carefully and answer the questions that
follow :
The system of varnas

This is Al-Biruni’s account of the system of varnas :

The highest caste are the Brahmana, of whom the books of

the Hindus tell us that they were created from the head of
Brahman. And as the Brahman is only another name for
the force called nature, and the head is the highest part of
the ... body, the Brahmana are the choice part of the whole
genus. Therefore the Hindus consider them as the very
best of mankind.

61/2/1 9 P.T.O.
 The next caste are the Kshatriya, who were created, as
they say, from the shoulders and hands of Brahman. Their
degree is not much below that of the Brahmana.

After them follow the Vaishya, who were created from the
thigh of Brahman.

The Shudra, who were created from his feet ...

Between the latter two classes there is no very great

distance. Much, however, as these classes differ from each
other, they live together in the same towns and villages,
mixed together in the same houses and lodgings.

(16.1) What gave Brahmanas their superior status ?

(16.2) How did Al-Biruni disapprove the ‘notion of pollution’ ?
(16.3) Who lived together, yet segregated ? What impact did they have
on the society ?

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions that
follow :
‘‘The real minorities are the masses of this country’’

Welcoming the Objectives Resolution introduced by Jawaharlal Nehru,

N.G. Ranga said :

Sir, there is a lot of talk about minorities. Who are the real
minorities ? Not the Hindus in the so-called Pakistan
provinces, not the Sikhs, not even the Muslims. No, the real
minorities are the masses of this country. These people are
61/2/1 11 P.T.O.
 so depressed and oppressed and suppressed till now that
they are not able to take advantage of the ordinary civil
rights. What is the position ? You go to the tribal areas.
According to law, their own traditional law, their tribal law,
their lands cannot be alienated. Yet our merchants go
there, and in the so-called free market they are able to
snatch their lands. Thus, even though the law goes against
this snatching away of their lands, still the merchants are
able to turn the tribal people into veritable slaves by
various kinds of bonds, and make them hereditary
bond-slaves. Let us go to the ordinary villagers. There goes
the money-lender with his money and he is able to get the
villagers in his pocket. There is the landlord himself, the
zamindar, and the malguzar and there are the various
other people who are able to exploit these poor villagers.
There is no elementary education even among these people.
These are the real minorities that need protection and
assurances of protection. In order to give them the
necessary protection, we will need much more than this
Resolution ....

CAD, VOL. II

(17.1) On which aspect did N.G. Ranga draw attention ?

(17.2) What type of problems did the ordinary villagers face ?

(17.3) What kind of protection was needed for the real minorities ?
