A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.
Man has always sought peace, even in the midst of war. India has for centuries been respected as a nation that believes in the policy of peace. Ever since India achieved independence from British rule, she has followed an independent foreign policy which is based on the principle of peaceful co-existence. India's faith and commitment to peace is a legacy of her centuries-old tradition and cultural heritage. India's approach to peace is deeply ingrained in her traditional outlook, both philosophical and historical. Philosophically, it took concrete shape as early as the 6th century BC when Gautama Buddha, an apostle of peace, denounced violence in all its forms and sought through the example of his own renunciation a solution to human suffering. He gave the message of 'Ahimsa'. The message of Mahavira, the Jain apostle was the same. Historically the peaceful approach found its not celebrated exponent in Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC. He was aroused to consciousness and realisation of the futility of was in the very process of waging a bloody war to extend his domain over the kingdom of Kalinga. At the height of his military glory, he renounced was as a method of conquest and adopted the Buddhist creed of non-violence, both as a national and international policy. In our own age, there walked in flesh and blood a Messiah called Mahatma Gandhi, who showed the world the way of peace and non-violence. He revived out long-lost faith in human values and wielded ' passive resistance ' as a formidable weapon in struggle of India's national independence. And now that India is an independent, sovereign nation, it is but natural that she should preserve her previous freedom by following the same principles of thought and action that have brought her a status of dignity and that have been the soul of her past tradition and history.
