SAMPLE PAPER

EXAM – HALF YEARLY

CLASS – XII

SUBJECT-ENGLISH

TIME: 3 HOURS M.M – 100

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS- 1. This paper is divided into three sections: A, B and C. All the sections are

compulsory. 2. Separate instructions are given with each section and question, wherever

necessary.

3. Read these instructions very carefully and follow them. 4. Do not exceed the prescribed word limit while answering the questions.

SECTION- A (READING) (20marks)

Q1. Read the following poem carefully. 12M

1. India has never subscribed to the doctrine of militarism and war in her history.

Here war was never treated as an ideal. It was only tolerated as unavoidable and

inevitable, and all attempts were made to check it and bring it under control. In spite

of the frequency of wars in ancient India, in spite of highly developed military

organization, techniques of war and imperialism, and in spite of the open

justification of war as national policy, the heart of India loved pacifisms as an ideal

capable of realization. India‟s symbolic role was that of a peacemaker and it

sincerely pinned its faith on the principle of “Live and let live”. At least

philosophically, India‟s intelligence supported the cause of peace not only in

national affairs but in international affairs also. All the great seers of the yore

visualized the unity of life, permeating all beings, animate or inanimate, which ruled

out killing and suicidal wars.

2. This doctrine of philosophical pacifisms was practiced by ancient Aryans is, no

doubt, a question of controversial nature. Certainly, the great Indian teachers and

savants stuck to this doctrine tenaciously and in their personal life they translated it

into practice and preached it to masses and even to princes of military classes.

3. Another culture of those times, the existence of which has been proved by the

excavations of Mohanjo-Daro, also enunciated the doctrine of pacificism and

friendship to all. Strangely enough, the Indus Valley civilization has revealed no

fortification and very few weapons.

4. Ahimsa or the doctrine of non-violence in thought, speech and action assumed a

gigantic importance in the Buddhist and Jain period. By a constant practice of this

virtue, man becomes unassailable by even wild beasts, who forgot their ferocity the

moment they entered the circumference of his magnetic influence. The monks and

nuns of these churches were apostles of peace, who reached every nook and corner

2/10

of the world and delivered the message of love to war-weary humanity. The greatest

votary was the royal monk Ashoka, who in reality was responsible for transforming

Ahimsa as an act of personal virtue, to Ahimsa as an act of national virtue. 2

5. Many a historian recounting the causes of the downfall of the Mauryas, hold the

pacific policy of Ashoka which had eschewed the aggressive militarism of his

predecessors, responsible for an early decay of the military strength of the state and

its consequent disintegration, leading to the rise of Sungas, Kanvas and Andhras.

But, in reality the fault lies with the weak successors of Ashoka, who could not

wield the weapon of non-violence with a skill and efficiency which required the

strength of a spiritual giant like Ashoka. They failed due to their subjective

weakness: Pacifism itself was no cause of their failure.

6. Besides the foregoing philosophical and religious school of thought, even many

political authorities gave their unqualified support to the cause of pacifisms. They

recognized the right of rivals to exist, not mainly as enemies, but as collaborators in

the building of a civilization operation. Thus, for centuries, in the pre-Mauryan

India, scores of small independent republics existed and flourished without coming

in clash with each other.

7. With regard to Kautilya, the much maligned militarist and the so called

Machiavelli of India, He thinks that the object of diplomacy is to avoid war.

8. The Mahabharata observes in the connection, “A wise man should be content with

what can be obtained by the expedients of conciliation, gift and dissention.” It

denounces the warring world of men by comparing it to a dog-kennel. “First there

comes the wagging of tails, then turning of one round to other, then the show of

teeth, then the roaring and then comes the commencement of the fights. It is the

same with men; there is no difference whatever.” Yajnavalkya adds: „War is the last

expedient to be used when all others have failed.” Likewise, Sri Krishna who‟s

Bhagwad-Gita has been styled by some as „a song of the battle‟, should not be

considered out and out militarist. When all the three expedients were exhausted, then

alone the fourth was resorted to.

9. All possible avenues of peace such as negotiation, conciliation through

conference, meditation and so on, were explored before the war was resorted to. This

proves that the heart of ancient India was sound and it longed for peace, although

war also was not treated as an anathema, which was to be avoided as far as possible.

(i) express in definite and clear terms (para 3 )

(ii) defensive wall (para 3)

(iii) the beginning (para 8)

Q2. Read the passage and answer the questions given below: (8)

1. There is a clear dichotomy between Jayashankar Prasad‟s daily life and the one

that found expression in his literature. In his literary formulations, Prasad advocated

an escape- frompersonality ideal and categorically stated: “An artist‟s art”, and not

his person, is the touchstone to assess his work . . . it is only after losing his

personality that he emerges in his art as an artist”.

2. In Prasad‟s works – his poems, short stories, novels, dramas etc. – what emerges

is life as shaped in the writer‟s inner self by his emotions, fancies, dreams, reveries .

. . His writings are a record not of outer reality, but of the artist‟s inner world. As

4/10

such, of a proper appreciation and understanding of his works more emphasis needs

to be placed on the working of his mind, than the events of his dayto-day life.

3. Prasad was born in a renowned family of Varansi. His grand-father Shiv

RatanSahu, a dealer in high quality perfumed tobacco (snuff). Besides being an

astute businessman, he was endowed with a marked cultural taste. His home was the

meeting place of the local poets, singers, artists, scholars and men of religion.

Prasad‟s father Devi Prasad Sahu carried forward this high tradition of family.

Prasad, therefore, had a chance to study the various phases of human nature in the

light of the business traditions, artistic taste and religious background of his family.

4. When the business had somewhat recovered, Prasad planned the publication of a

literary journal. Prasad started the “Indu”. The inaugural number appeared in July

1909. By this time Prasad‟s notions of literature had crystallized into a credo. In the

first issue of Indu, he proclaimed, “Literature has no fixed aim; it is not slave to

rules; it is free and all-embracing genius, gives birth to genuine literature which is

subservient to none. Whatever in the world is true and beautiful is its subject matter.

By the dealing with the True and Beautiful it establishes the one and affects the full

flowering of the others. Its force can be measured by the degree of pleasure it gives

to the reader‟s mind as also by criticism which is free of all prejudice”. The words

sound like the manifesto of romanticism in literature.

5. Even while recognizing the social relevance of literature, Prasad insisted, “The

poet is a creator . . . he is not conditioned by his milieu; rather it is he who moulds it

and gives it a new shape; he conjures up a new world of beauty where the reader for

the time being, becomes oblivious of the outer world and passes his time in an

eternal spring garden where golden lotuses blossom and the air is thick and pollen”.

Thus, the chief aim of literature according to Prasad is to give joy to the reader and

to create a state of bliss in him. Later under the impact of Shaivadvaitism, this faith

of Prasad got further strengthened.

Wish audience of him. For he creates an opportunity almost every day for

any of the common people or of the nobles to see him and to converse with

him; and he endeavours to show himself pleasant-spoken and affable rather

than severe towards all who come to speak with him.It is very remarkable

how great an effect this courtesy and affaibility has in attaching him to the

agony of her mind cannot be described;she trembled and wept bitterly;but

three or four of the Brahmanas, assisted by an old woman who held her

under the arm,forced the unwilling victim towards the fatal spot, seated her

on thewood,tied her hands and feet,lest she should run away, and in that

situation the innocent creature was burnt alive.I found it difficult to repress

my feelings and to prevent their bursting forth into clamorous and unavailing

rage………..
