State True or False: A hero-worshipper becomes blind to the hero’s negative traits and weaknesses.
According to the passage, from where does the instinct of hero-worship spring?
What is the ultimate result of indulging in hero-worshipping?
What two qualities do we need to cultivate in order to produce more heroes rather than more hero-worshippers?
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?
