The reformer must know that what moves people is the authentic life, not mere writing. The newspaper and journals that Tilak
and other reformers ran the books they wrote, sold little, but had an enormous effect. Their writing was known to reflect and be
just an extension of, their exemplary lives. It was the authenticity of their lives which lent weight to their message, to their
example. All knew that their lives were an integral whole - they were not moral in public life and lacking in private, not vice
versa. They were not full of pious thoughts and sacred resolutions within the walls of a temple. A writer who is merely
entertaining his readers, even one who is merely informing them, can do what he wants with the rest of his life. But the writer,
who sets out to use his pen to reform public life, cannot afford such dualities. Here is the testimony of one great man - about the
influence of another, Lokmanya Tilak. “I believe that an editor who has anything worth saying and who commands a clientele
cannot easily be hushed. He delivered his finished message as soon as he is put under duress. Tilak spoke more eloquently from
the Mandalay fortress than through columns of the printed Kesari. His influence was multiplied a thousand fold by his
imprisonment and his speech and his pen had acquired much greater power after he was discharged than before his
imprisonment. By his death we have been editing his paper without pen and speech through the sacred resolution of the people
to realize his life’s dream. He could possibly have done more if he were today in flesh preaching his view. Critics like me would
perhaps be still finding fault in the expression of this or that. Today, his message rules millions of hearts which are determined to
raise permanent a living memorial by the fulfilment of his ambition in their lives”.
7) Complete the following sentence:
Tilak’s messages were most effective...........
A. when he delivered them through editorials B. after his death C. before his imprisonment D. when delivered in speeches
8) Which of the following is the result of Lokmanya Tilak’s exemplary life?
A. People resolved to fulfil his life’s dreams B. The newspapers edited by him did not incur monetary loss C. He was put in
jail at Mandalay D. The books written by him are useful
9) In the context of the passage, a reformer becomes effective if:
A. he is a journalist with an objective view point B. he is an author with an excellent style of writing C. He is good critic of
social practices D. He is a person with consistency in his writing and life style
10) Which of the following is the general tendency of critics according to the passage?
A. To condemn one and all the reformer writers B. To justify their criticism C. To praise only those writers who they like
D. To find fault with one or the other expression of a writer
