PASSAGE-1
Paradoxes in the human context abound.
We are all human; but few are humane. Most of
us think we are virtuous; but few are bereft of
vice. We are all uniquely blessed with the power
to imagine, extrapolate, inquire and to perceive
beyond immediacy but so few see beyond the
reach of their noses and so much consumed by
the grind of daily existence. Many of us feel selfrighteous; but few shrink from hurting the weak
and vulnerable. To be fallible is to be human but
individually we think we are infallible. Why does
huma n int imacy ro b mut ual re spect an d
interpersonal relationships so hard to sustain
when man is so gregarious and craves for human
contact? We are endowed with the unique power
of reason, viveka (wisdom) and vichakshana
(discrimination) but we act so often without them.
We are infinitely creative but often mindlessly
destructive. Instead of feeling ashamed for our
anger and avarice, so many use them as a cover
and justification for their actions arising from
them. We make daily choices but often avoid
facing the consequences.
Great men who changed the tide of history
single-handedly walked this earth as well as evil
men who brought senseless suffering to so many.
What is the measure of great men and great
deeds? Are some men greater than their deeds

PASSAGE-2
Technology is not only at the cutting edge
of global change; it is also transforming the way
man thinks, works, lives, loves and fights. It is
the basis of his superiority and conquest of other
species and of the havoc he is heaping on nature.
Science based technology is the cause of much
of mans material prosperity, longevity and
conquest of age-old scourges. Technological
exclusion is a contributing factor of mass poverty
and social injustice. The majority of mankind
continues to be marginalised, socially and
technologically. It is also the fulcrum of western
civilisation and the pivot of western domination.
Talk is profuse about information economies and
knowledg e societies . But the potent ial
beneficiaries are those who are already rich and
powerful. Thus far man harnessed for good or
bad technology. Will technology turn man into
tomorrows horse? Technology is now driven
largely by its own dynamic momentum, loosening
mans control and unleashing unknown forces.
It is inculcating in mans mind a culture of
dependency, eroding his cognitive and deductive
powers. Over-Dependence on technology may
result in an atrophy of human intellect. Man may
be an incidental beneficiary or unintended victim
but he is now marginal to the march of technology.
He may occasionally exult over his achievements
or periodically face the wrath of technology
running amok or of misuse by the human mind.
Artificial intelligence may create a thinking
robot, a synthetic human brain may be created
and cloning may create human duplicates. What
are moral and ethical implications? Even more,
what kind of human persona will emerge? What
kind of civilization will that be? Toynbee warned
that the spiritual advancement of man would be
in inverse proportion to his technological
mastery. A nuclear Armageddon, either through
comput er malfunctioning, t erro rism or a
desperate act of a cornered ruler is a real
possibility. That it has not happened so far is
sheer happenstanc e and go od luck. Will
technology-rather mans arrogant misuse prove
to be the catalyst of mans ultimate destruction?
Will man playing God turn out to be Sisupalas
last insult that preceded his beheading by God?
Is this the Divine long rope designed to hang him?
