Read the following passage and answer the questions 11 to

Gandhi's overall social and
environmental philosophy is based on what human beings need rather than what
they want. His early introduction to the teachings of Jains, Theosophists,
Christian sermons, Ruskin and Tolstoy, and most significantly the Bhagavad
Gita, were to have profound impact on the development of Gandhi's holistic
thinking on humanity, nature and their ecological interrelation. His deep
concern for the disadvantaged, the poor and rural population created an
ambience for an alternative social thinking that was at once far-sighted, local
and immediate. For Gandhi was acutely aware that the demands generated by the
need to feed and sustain human life, compounded by the growing
industrialization of India, far outstripped the finite resources of nature.
This might nowadays appear naive or commonplace, but such pronouncements were
as rare as they were heretical a century ago. Gandhi was also concerned about
the destruction, under colonial and modernist designs, of the existing
infrastructures which had more potential for keeping a community flourishing
within ecologically-sensitive traditional patterns of subsistence, especially
in the rural areas, than did the incoming Western alternatives based on
nature-blind technology and the enslavement of human spirit and energies.
Perhaps the moral principle for
which Gandhi is best known is that of active non-violence, derived from the
traditional moral restraint of not injuring another being. The most refined
expression of this value is in the great epic of the Mahabharata, (c. 100 BCE
to 200 CE), where moral development proceeds through placing constraints on the
liberties, desires and acquisitiveness endemic to human life. One's action is
judged in terms of consequences and the impact it is likely to have on another.
Jainas had generalized this principle to include all sentient creatures and
biocommunities alike. Advanced Jaina monks and nuns will sweep their path to
avoid harming insects and even bacteria.
Non-injury is a non-negotiable universal prescription.
