Given below is a passage. Read carefully to
answer the questions given under it.
When we talk about public opinion
someone may legitimately ask the question:
Does the public care for law and order? The
answer is “Yes”. The vast majority of the people
in India, as elsewhere, are law abiding and they
want that they should be able to carry on their
daily work in a peaceful atmosphere. It is this
craving for peace, which enabled strong kings
to finish feudal regimes in many countries in
Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. It is this
very feeling, which enabled many dictators in
the 20th century to earn public applause in the
beginning by ending lawlessness. Let us go
back in history. There was a time in the history
of the world when there was no state and no
government. Man lived in the state of nature.
The famous British political philosopher
Hobbes has given a description of this state.
Both life and properly were unsafe and man
lived in a state of perpetual terror. This forced
human beings to evolve ordered societies to
make laws for themselves and to follow these
laws. As society developed, rules of conduct
got codified as laws, e.g. laws were made
against murder and theft so that everyone
could live and enjoy his property. Individual
selfishness against community interests
became a crime. Arresting criminals was
obeying the mandate of the people. As laws
grew in number and complexity, professional
police forces emerged. Even now citizen
constables have not been entirely displaced and
a Bobby in U.K. has very few powers not
enjoyed by a citizen. The greatest benefit of
civilized life was law and order. The rule of law
was recognized by Socrates, Plato and Aristotle
as the most prominent feature of democracy.
Aristotle said that every child in school must be
taught obedience to law, else the State would
cease to exist. The state of public opinion in a
country has a vital bearing on law and order.
This may be a vague and nebulous concept but
one can notice the big differences as, for
example, between U.K and India. It will not be
possible for anyone in U.K to collect a crowd of
a hundred on several of those issues on which
one can collect a crowd of several thousands in
India. Here, in India, a systematic attempt was
made by several sections to denigrate this very
concept and to advance the thesis that illegal
activities may be quite democratic and
praiseworthy. If this is accepted, the very basis
of civilized existence is knocked out, because
civilization, as it has developed, would not
have been possible without the concept of the
rule of law. Its universal acceptance now is due
to several hundreds of years of struggle. Once
it is destroyed, we will revert to the state of 4. Which of the following is not an
