Read the following passage carefully & answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases are
printed in ‘bold’ to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.

The essence of Gandhijis teaching was meant not for his country or his people alone but for all mankind & is
valid not only for today but for all the time. He wanted all men to be free so that they could grow unhampered into
full self realization. He wanted to abolish the exploitation of man by man in any shape or form because both
exploitation & submission to it are sin not only against society but against the moral law, the law of our being. The
means to be compatible with this end therefore, he said have to be purely moral, namely unadulterated truth & non
violence. He had been invited by many foreigners to visit their countries & deliver his message to them directly but
he declined to accept such invitations as, he said he must make good what he claimed for; Truth & Ahimsa in his
own country before he could launch on the gigantic task of wining or rather converting the world. With the attain-
ment of freedom by India, by following his method, though in a limited way & in spite of all the imperfections in its
practice, the condition precedent for taking his message to other countries was to a certain extent fulfilled. And
although the partition has caused wounds & raised problems which claimed all his time & energy, he might have
been able to turn his attention to this larger question even in the midst of his distractions. But providence had
ordained otherwise. May some individual or nation arise & carry forward the effort launched by him till the experi-
ment is completed, the work finished & the objective achieved.
