1.Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. [5x3=15]

 

Mother Teresa has been voted the greatest Indian since its independence in 1947 in a survey which received 50,000 responses. She was ranked ahead of India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, as well as frontline independence leader Sardar Vallabbhai Petel, who was instrumental in getting 562 princely states to join the Union. The Outlook poll did not include Mahatma Gandhi because the magazine decided "to keep the Father of the Nation above a voting process". 

Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee also found a place in the list of "the ten titans". But he was at number ten, below cricketer Sachin Tendulker, who secured the number eight position. Mother Teresa's work among the poor and dying in the city of Kolkata and around the world won her a Nobel Prize and millions of admires. She set up the Missionaries of Charity order in Kolkata in 1950 and lived a life that has been held up as a model of Christian Service. Born in the Macedonian capital of Skopje in 1910, Mother Teresa died in Kolkata in September 1997. The survey showed that Indians below 25 years of age ranked Mother Teresa higher than Nehru, while the older generation chose Nehru. 

"Is it some sort of comment on 55 years of Indian history that the person voted the greatest Indian is the only in the list who was not born at India?" 

"Is it some sort of indication of the popular mood that Sachin Tendulker is ranked higher than Vajpayee?" an editorial on the survey asked. Khushwant Singh said part of the answer was "That the people of India are totally disenchanted with politics and their political leaders" because of corruption. "That explains the vote in favour of Mother Teresa who had nothing to do with any politician", he wrote in Outlook.
