UNITY IN DIVERSITY (Feb. 2026)
The British prosecuted three INA officers: Shah Nawaz Khan, a Muslim; Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, a Sikh; and Prem Sahgal, a Hindu; reflecting the natural diversity of the INA itself, which embraced people from all regions and faiths. This diversity, rather than dividing public opinion, became a powerful symbol of unity. Indians across religious and regional lines rallied in solidarity with the officers, viewing their struggle as a representation of the nation’s dream for freedom and dignity. The trials sparked mass protests and reignited the collective drive toward a shared national identity, highlighting the strength of unity in the face of external challenges, reinforcing unity as an instrument for change.
Who were the three INA officers prosecuted by the British?
What was the aim of the Indian National Army?
Who founded the Indian National Army?
State True or False: The INA officers were from only one religious community.
According to the paragraph, what is the best defence against divisive external pressures?
MOUNTAIN MAN
With every strike of his tools, pieces of rock fell. Neighbours laughed and called him crazy, but Dashrath kept going. “This mountain took my wife,” he said, “I won’t let it take anyone else.”
Day after day, year after year, he worked tirelessly. His hands bled, the seasons changed, years rolled on and 22 years passed. Slowly, a path appeared where the mountain once stood. The villagers, who once mocked him, began to admire his incredible effort.
In the end, Dashrath Manjhi succeeded. He carved a 110-metre-long road through the mountain, turning a 55-kilometre journey into just 15 kilometres. Known as the “Mountain Man,” he showed the world that even the toughest challenges can be overcome with determination. His story inspires people everywhere to believe in themselves and their dreams. Next time when you feel tired or have a mountain to move just remember the Mountain Man.

What tools did Dashrath Manjhi use to break the mountain?

Idea: Imagine waking up one day in the future, surrounded by incredible new technologies that make life exciting, fun, and easier. Think about how your day would look with these inventions. Write a simple story about one day of your life with these futuristic technologies (at least ten lines).
Hints: Gadgets – Pet robot to clean your room – A shirt that changes colour with mood – Flying backpacks to go to college – A pen that takes notes by itself – A fridge that prepares the best food – A holo-playground – At home, an A.I robot to explain tricky concepts – A pillow that tracks your dreams.
I woke up to the gentle chime of my smart pillow, which showed a summary of my peaceful dreams on my bedside screen. Beside my bed, a tiny pet robot was already busily humming as it swept and cleaned every corner of my room. I picked up my favorite shirt, which instantly shifted to a bright sunny yellow to match my cheerful morning mood. In the kitchen, the smart fridge greeted me and prepared a delicious, steaming breakfast in less than two minutes. When it was time for college, I strapped on my flying backpack and glided smoothly over the city traffic straight to the campus gate. In class, I placed my magic digital pen on the desk, and it effortlessly recorded lecture notes and diagrams by itself. During the lunch break, my classmates and I enjoyed playing virtual games in an amazing 3D holo-playground. After returning home, an AI robot tutor helped me understand tricky physics concepts with fun three-dimensional models. Everything about the day felt magical, efficient, and wonderfully joyful. Before going to sleep, I thanked technology for turning life into a delightful futuristic adventure.
