Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the subsequent questions. Some words in the passage are given in bold to help you locate them while answering the questions.


Now the question arises: what is the secret of the longevity and imperishability of Indian culture? Why is it that such great empires and nations as Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Rome and Persia could not last more than the footprints of a camel on the shifting sands of the deserts while India, which faces the same ups and downs, the same mighty and cruel hand of time, 'is still alive and with the same halo of glory and splendour?


The answer is given by Prof JB Pratt of America. According to him, Hindu religion is "self-perpetuating and self-renewing." Unlike other religions, "not death, but development" has been the fate of Hinduism. Not only Hindu religion but the whole culture of the Hindus has been growing, changing, and developing in accordance with the needs of times and circumstances without losing its essentially imperishable spirit. 


The culture of the Vedic ages, of the ages of the Upanishads, the various philosophical systems, the Mahabharata, the Smritis, the Puranas, various scholarly commentators, the medieval saints, and the age of modern reformers is the same in spirit and yet very different in form. Its basic principles are so broad-based that they can be adapted to almost any environment of development.
