Passage-1

Is caste the same as race? It has been argued for quite sometime that caste (this

peculiar, almost kitsch type social formation in India with a confused and confusingideology) is either equivalent to race or is not the same as race. Those who claimthat it is not race, say that caste merely signifies economic occupation. Ancient

Indian texts mention the words 'varna' and 'jati' and from these two terms it is

inferred that caste is either race or not race. Those who equate caste with the racequestion argue that Indian society is not different from European societies who havebeen experiencing issues of racist discrimination. But more often that not (whatever

the terms varna and jati actually mean) caste is related to a peculiar socio-economicorder where a certain type of social formation emerged where 'classes' were formed.Now when this class system was given religious sanction it got the term 'caste'.

Caste then is nothing but 'transfigured class'. There is however an extremedifference between class and caste. For the former there is nothing divine, whilst for

the latter divinity is brought in the field of economics. Thus 'purity', i.e. physicalpurity becomes central to the schema of caste. From this issue of purity and

pollution, classes develop where the consanguine marriage system develops wheremarriage can be only between members from the same caste. Endogamy thusbecomes a central aspect of caste. But it is not only the Indian castes that are

endogamous, even mystic-religious groups like the Freemasons are endogamous soas to keep the secrets of their mission within the Freemason family. Though caste isa retrogressive system in Indian history, there has been support of this moribundsystembut from outside the Indian subcontinent. It is well known that the

European fascists and the Nazis tried to create a racist systembased on themythical Aryan supremacy theorythe chief ingredient being racial segregation.

It has been generally said that caste would meet its nemesisindustry and the

industrial revolution. The latter would become both the graveyard that would writethe epitaph of the Indian caste system. Industry came and along with it modernity,or at least the Western-capitalist type of societal rationalization, but caste refuses to

go. It is the spectra that haunts Indiathe spectra of the antiquated mode of

production that seems so dear, not only for Indian 'civilization', but also the globalaccumulation of capital. One thus engages the cultural politics of the caste system

that deals with the two types of the politics of emancipationthe theory of class

struggle combined with the subaltern-dalit theory of caste hegemony ("subaltern"here does not have to be confused with the postmodern and post-Marxist "SubalternStudies" that once became fashionable. By "subaltern" one means the popularmasses). Whilst Marxism deals with class struggle and the struggle for socialism, one

has to be empirical, and thus concretely engaging the caste system in India; and on

the other hand, social theory not only allows, but also necessitates the critique of thecaste system based on the modern liberal theory of rightse.g. ,the U.N. Charter ofHuman Rights.

So far research on this system has been of a very narrow type. If a sociologist takesup this issue then the field of linguistics or archaeology is ignored and vice versa. If

one takes up say caste in Punjab, then the textual references in the medieval law

books of India are ignored. One needs a composite understanding of the castesystem as also to relate it with the modern class system. Once this nexus isunderstood the key to the problems of Indian civilization is also said to be found. Butwhat is the main difference between caste and class? The main difference is that

classes are based on purely economic criteria unlike caste which is mixed withtheology and rituals which govern humanity. The modern class system is based on

the ownership of the means of production. Anyone is free to own the means of

production. Those who own are the bourgeoisie and those who do not form the greatarmy of the proletariat, i.e., the class who only own labour power. But movement

from one class to another is possible: this movement which is governed purely byeconomic causes. Neither theology nor ideology can interfere. That is why the west

which boasts of a just and rational economic system also claims that this same

system is 'free'. Now this 'freedom', the west inscribes on its banners and also wantsthe entire world to embrace. It claims that the non-western world is basically unfree,

as it is contaminated by not only caste, but also by favoritism based on familyloyalties, regionalism and other unsatisfactory criteria.. One needs as if to purge thistype of an 'unfree' world in order to be part of the league of the developed nations.

However raising this issue of the caste system has to be free from ideological

disturbances. One cannot impose a ready made system of logic on to it. To raise thisissue of caste and try to develop a modern system of class has to transcend allmetaphysical assumptions. One can neither depend on metaphysical idealism, nor on

mechanical materialism for a solution. But one thing is certain: the caste systembelongs to what has been described as the era of "Indian feudalism"the era ofstagnation. Once this system is over, the caste system ought to wither away.

1-According to the author, how do the Indian and European societies differ?1) The European society has accepted the ideology of the transfigured class,however, the Indian society has agreed that only Endogamy leads to physical purity.

2) Caste is a socioeconomic group in an Indian set up, which is a direct result ofconsanguinity, in the European eye, class is a socio economic sector.3) The jati system defines caste in India which also describes class as a direct result

of consanguinity, but this concept has shown to influence European society in a big

way.

4) Industry has influenced the Indian caste system.

2-How has the Indian caste system affected India financially?1) After learning industrial revolution from the West, India contaminated its people

with the germs of racial discrimination like the West.2) India has never adopted the recognized methods of growth and thus wasn't

influenced by both, the western growth methods or social arrangements.3) The great army of the proletariat is available in the Indian market which is very


3/15

Page 3 of 15


productive.4) None of these.

3- Why has the author called this era Indian feudalism?1) It is practically impossible to transcend over this problem of caste with logic andpromote a solution through modern understanding because it is deeply rooted in the

culture since ancient times.

2) The author assumes that commodities like the" Subaltern Studies" are not putinto use and this has led to stagnation.3) Cultural politics plays a decisive role in shaping the ideology of caste, which doesnot allow the liberty to negate this issue of caste.

4) The author expects the Indian industry to copy the technical know how from theWest.

4- Which of the following is untrue in the context of the passage?1) It has been argued for quite sometime that caste is either equivalent to race or is

not the same as race.2) Ancient Indian texts mention the words 'varna' and 'jati' and from these two

terms it is inferred that caste is either race or not race.

3) Those who equate caste with the race question argue that Indian society is notdifferent from European societies who have been experiencing issues of racist

discrimination.4) It is not only the Indian castes that are endogamous, even agnostic-religiousgroups like the Freemasons are endogamous so as to keep the secrets of theirmission within the Freemason family.

5- Which of the following is definitely not untrue in the context of the passage?1) The caste system in India must be thoroughly studied and actual facts must behidden to improve the social as well as the financial improvement of the

underprivileged.2) There is a thin line separating class and caste in India.3) One needs to purge this type of an 'un-free' world in order to be part of the

league of the developed nations.

4) The author strongly urges everyone to know and clearly understand the meaningof the terms varna and jati before the all needed modern methodology and genius.

Passage-2

It does not do to examine everything too closely in detail when you land--for while

there are buildings of beautiful architectural lines, there are others which suggest the

work of a pastrycook. To any one coming direct from Europe some of the statuary bylocal talent which adorns the principal squares gives a severe shock. Ladies inevening dress and naked cupids in bronze flying through national flags flapping in

the wind, half of their bodies on one side, the other half on the other side of theflags, look somewhat grotesque as you approach the statues from behind. But Rio isnot the only place where you see grotesque statuary--you have not to go far from or

even out of London to receive similar and worse shocks. If Rio has some bad statues

it also possesses some remarkably beautiful ones by the sculptor Bernardellia

wonderful genius who is now at the head of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rio. Thisman has had a marvellous influence in the beautifying of the city, and to him are due

the impressive lines of the finest buildings in Rio, such as the Academy of Fine Arts.Naturally, in a young country like Brazil--I am speaking of new Brazil, now wide

awake, not of the Brazil which has been asleep for some decades--perfection cannotbe reached in everything in one day. It is really marvellous how much the Brazilians

have been able to accomplish during the last ten years or so in their cities, on ornear the coast.

Brazilians have their own way of thinking, which is not ours, and which is to usalmost incomprehensible. They are most indirect in their thoughts and deeds--a

characteristic which is purely racial, and which they themselves cannot appreciate,but which often shocks Europeans. For instance, one of the most palatial buildings inthe Avenida Central was built only a short time ago. In it, as became such an up-to-

date building, was established a lift. But do you think that the architect, like all other

architects anywhere else in the world, would make the lift start from the groundfloor? No, indeed. The lift only starts from the second floor up--and, if I rememberrightly, you have to walk some thirty-eight steps up a grand staircase before youreach it! Do you know why? Because the architect wished to compel all visitors to the

building to admire a window of gaudy coloured glass half-way up the staircase. Inthis way they reason about nearly everything. They have not yet mastered the

importance and due proportion of detail. Frequently what is to us a trifling detail is

placed by them in the forefront as the most important point of whatever theyundertake.

The Brazilians of the principal cities were most courteous and accomplished, and it

was a great pleasure to associate with them. Intense interest was shown by the

Government of the country and by the people in my plan to cross the continent. Dr.Pedro de Toledo, the Minister of Agriculture, was specially interested in the scheme,

and it was at first suggested that the expedition should be an Anglo-Brazilian one,and that I should be accompanied by Brazilian officers and soldiers. Colonel Rondon,a well-known and brave officer, was ordered by the Government to find suitablevolunteers in the army to accompany my expedition. After a long delay, Colonel

Rondon informed me that his search had been unsuccessful. Colonel Rondon said he

would have gladly accompanied the expedition himself, had he not been detained inRio by his duties as Chief of the Bureau for the Protection and Civilization of theIndians. Another officer offered his services in a private capacity, but he having

become involved in a lawsuit, the negotiations were suddenly interrupted.

I endeavoured to find suitable civilians. No one would go. The Brazilian forest, they

all said, was worse, more impenetrable than any forest in the world. Brazilian rivers

were broader, deeper and more dangerous than any river on earth. Wild beasts inBrazil were more numerous and wilder than the wildest animals of Africa or Asia. Asfor the Indians of Central Brazil, they were innumerable--millions of them--and

ferocious beyond all conception. They were treacherous cannibals, and unfortunatewas the person who ventured among them. They told stories galore of how the fewwho had gone had never come back. Then the insects, the climate, the terrible

diseases of Central Brazil were worse than any insect, any climate, any terrible

disease anywhere. That is more or less the talk one hears in every country when

about to start on an expedition.

I had prepared my expedition carefully, at a cost of some L2,000 for outfit. Fewprivate expeditions have ever started better equipped. I carried ample provisions for

one year (tinned meats, vegetables, 1,000 boxes of sardines, fruits, jams, biscuits,chocolate, cocoa, coffee, tea, etc.), two serviceable light tents, two complete sets of

instruments for astronomical and meteorological observations, and all theinstruments necessary for making an accurate survey of the country traversed. Four

Page 6 of 15


excellent aneroids--which had been specially constructed for me--and a well-madehypsometrical apparatus with six boiling-point thermometers, duly tested at the KewObservatory, were carried in order to determine accurately the altitudes observed.

Then I possessed two prismatic and six other excellent compasses, chronometers,six photographic cameras, specially made for me, with the very best Zeiss andGoertz lenses, and some 1,400 glass photographic plates--including some for colour

photography. All articles liable to be injured by heat and damp were duly packed in

air- and water-tight metal cases with outer covers of wood. Then I carried all theinstruments necessary for anthropometric work, and painting materials for recordingviews and scenes in colours when the camera could not be used, as at night or whenthe daylight was insufficient. I had a complete supply of spades, picks, large saws,

axes, and heavy-bladed knives (two feet long) for cutting our way through theforest, making roads and constructing rafts, canoes and temporary bridges. I carried,

as usual, very little medicine--merely three gallons of castor oil, a few bottles of

iodine, some formiate of quinine, strong carbolic and arsenical soaps, permanganateand other powerful disinfectants, caustic--that was about all. These medicines were

mostly to be used, if necessary, upon my men and not upon myself. I had twelve ofthe best repeating rifles that are made, as well as excellent automatic pistols of the

most modern type, and several thousand rounds of ammunition--chiefly soft-nosed

bullets. These weapons were carried in order to arm my followers. Although I hadseveral first-class rifles for my own use--following my usual custom, I never myself

carried any weapons--not even a penknife--upon my person except when actuallygoing after game. Again on this occasion--as on previous journeys--I did notmasquerade about in fancy costumes such as are imagined to be worn by explorers,with straps and buckles and patent arrangements all over. I merely wore a sack coat

with ample pockets, over long trousers such as I use in town. Nor did I wear any

special boots. I always wore comfortable clothes everywhere, and made nodifference in my attire between the Brazilian forest and Piccadilly, London. When itgot too hot, naturally I removed the coat and remained in shirt sleeves; but that was

all the difference I ever made in my wearing apparel between London and CentralBrazil. I have never in my life adopted a sun helmet--the most absurd,uncomfortable and grotesque headgear that was ever invented. I find, personally,

that a common straw hat provides as much protection as any healthy person

requires from the equatorial sun.

If I give these details, it is merely because they might be of some use to others--not

because I wish to advertise these facts; and also, if I do not give the names of thefirms which supplied the various articles, it is because--unlike many other explorers--I have been in the custom of never letting my name be used in any way whatever for

advertising purposes.

There are many people who are enthusiastic over a dangerous project when theyfirst hear of it, but on thinking it over and talking with friends and relatives their

enthusiasm soon wears off. That is what happened in Rio. I wasted some time in Rio--socially most enjoyably employedin order to get followers and come to some

suitable arrangement with the Government. I was deeply indebted to the Minister ofAgriculture, Dr. Pedro de Toledo, for allowing me the free use of all the telegraphs in

Brazil, and also for a special permission (of which I never availed myself) to use, ifnecessary, the flotilla of Government boats on the Amazon. Credentials were also


7/15

Page 7 of 15


furnished me, but owing to the way in which they were worded they were more of adanger to me than a protection. They actually proved to be so once or twice when Iwas compelled to present them. The expedition was considered so dangerous that

the Government published broadcast statements in the official and other papersstating that "Mr. A. H. Savage Landor's expedition across Brazil was undertakensolely at his own initiative and absolutely at his own risk and responsibility." They

also circulated widely the statement that I had promised not in any way to injure or

hurt the native Indians, that I would not supply them with firearms of any kind, andthat I would in no way ill-treat them. I had gladly promised all that. I had not evendreamt of doing any of those things to the natives, and naturally I strictly kept mypromise.
