Both will feed intoBritain's nagging sense of self-doubt: who are we? As the debates around integrated and multi-culturalismshow no

sign of flagging, both anniversaries will be mind for their contemporary relevance.

Television programmes, books, ceremonies, conferences, and newspaper supplements have been in theplanningfor months.Some might regard this self-referentialism as tedious; they might advocate an apology for the slave trade andlet'sbe done with 2007's anniversaries. But our reckoning with British history has been so limited that these twoanniversaries provide us with a good opportunity for an overdue reality check.Any chance of reinventing a plausible national identity now (as many are keen to do) is only possible if wedevelop

a much better understanding of how our nation behaved in the past and how nationalisms (English, Scottish,and

British) were elaborately created over the past few hundred years — and how incomplete and fragile thatprocessalways was.The coincidence of these two anniversaries is fortuitous. The abolition of the slave trade is a painful reminder

of British imperial history, which we have, incredible, managed to largely forget. Who remembers the Bengalfamineor Hola camp, the empire's opium trade with China or our invention of concentration camps in the Boer war?

Wetoo easily overlook how empire was a linchpin to British national identity, vital to welding Scotland and England

together. Indeed, historian Linda Colley suggests three ingredients for British identity: “Great Britain is aninventednation that was not founded on the suppression of older loyalties so much as superimposed on them, and thatwasheavily dependent for its raison d'etre on a broadly Protestant culture, on the treat and tonic of recurrent war,especially war with France, and on the triumphs, profits and Otherness represented by a massive overseasempire.” These three props for Britishness have collapsed: Protestant Christianity has declined sharply, war with Franceisthe pastime only of a few drunken football fans, and the empire is no more. No wonder Britishness is no the

decline; over the past couple of decades, people have become increasingly likely to define themselves in pollsas



English or Scottish rather than British.This is the social trend in defining identity that politicians such as Gordon Brown watch closely. Could thisreemergenceof the older loyalties to which Ms Colley refers have political consequences? Could the Scottish National

Party translate that into significant electoral gains in the Scottish elections only a few days after the officialcommemoration of the Act of Union in May?It's not just the Scots who could decide they've had enough of the English — the feeling could become mutual.

Thegrumbles are getting louder about Scottish MPs who vote on legislation affecting the English and thedisproportionate amount of public spending swallowed up by the Scots.Mr Brown clearly has a vested interest in stilling such complaints. He's been at the forefront of anestablishmentattempt to redefine Britishness on the grounds of “common values” such as fair play and tolerance.Who is going to define Englishness? Julian Baggini has a stab at it in a book to be published in March, Welcome

toEvery town: A Journey into the English Mind. He spent six months living in Rotherham to get beyond themetropolitan, liberal elite's perceptions of Englishness and establish what most people (that is, the whiteworkingclass) understand by their Englishness.Parochial, tightly knit, focused on family and local communities; nostalgic, fearful of the future and insecure; adogged belief in common sense: these are his conclusions. Mr Baggini confesses to feeling that his six monthsinRotherham was like visiting a foreign country, and no doubt many of the people he met would regard sixmonths in

London as profoundly alienating. How do you weld national identities out of global metropolises disconnectedfromhinterland? Englishness is riven with huge regional and class divides. The stakes are high — for example, arisingBritish National Party vote, a fear of asylum, and hostility to Islam. The anniversary of the Act of union willprovidea stage for all this to be played out. It's just as painful a commemoration for the English as for the Scottish. Itrequired one nation to lose its sovereignty and the other its identity.17. According to the passage, the two major anniversaries will1) give an impetus to the questioning of British national identity.2) set the Britons thinking who they really are.3) be just another occasion to raise the issue of British national identity.4) be just another occasion to give rise to a debate on multiculturalism.5) not be celebrated because of the shame attached with slave trade.

18. According to Linda Colley, Great Britain owes its nation-state concept to1) ceding of its territory by Scotland to England.2) a shared relation of race, religion and economy.3) what can today be seen as a concept of free trade area.4) the perpetuation of slave trade.5) commonality of interest between its constituents.19. Going by the passage, which of the following may instill a sense of national identity among theBritons?1) The return of Catholics to the Protestant fold2) Britain going to war with Germany

3) Britain going to war as an Allied force4) Regular football matches between British and French clubs

5) Any of the above20. According to the facts stated in the passage, if England and Scotland decide to split,1) it is the former that stands to gain.

2) it is the latter that stands to gain.3) it will be a win-win situation.

4) it will be a lose-lose situation.5) both the parties will lose their face but gain materially21. According to the passage, the post-modern mind views imperialism as1) something that was necessary in the context of the times.2) a thing of the past which need not be mentioned further.

3) a blot on the history of mankind.4) the white man's burden.

5) a concept relevant even in the present times, given the inability of the developing countries to catch up withtheWest.22. Oranges are bought at 7 for Rs.3. At what rate per hundred must they be sold to gain 33%?(1) Rs.56
