Communal violence is not a strange phenomenon for this country. However, it is high time that we, as civilised human beings, sat down to rid ourselves of the fallacies that institutionalised religions have spread: like no religion teaches violence; all religions are the same; and that religion is a path that leads to God.
Essentially, religion is a code of conduct for people of different communities — geographical or cultural — to follow. Religion is a dead document. It's an imposed human burden on man after his birth. Besides, every religion generates hatred in a bid to gather more people in its flock, leading to bloodshed.
Whenever and wherever religion grows, it spreads intolerance amongst people of different religious denominations. Religion actually removes God from the purview of man, assuring him of heaven by his own good works. Thus God is made superfluous. What a falsehood! Perhaps it is this unconscious lack of fear of a living God that results in every evil. It's time for all of us to realise that what men need today is a God, and not religion. From the time of his birth, man's conscience is coded with the knowledge of God, the fact that there is only one God who has eyes to behold, ears to hear and a heart to love and to save.
The God is indeed invincible and cannot be defeated by any power, including death itself.
At this hour when we must unite to combat pain and suffering, I request you to turn to this God of love, forgiveness and justice. He is your need and not religion. Over the ages millions, irrespective of caste, creed, colour and religion, have cried out to God and have been saved. May the Lord grant all humanity the humility to do so, for sooner or later every one has to meet his or her maker. 81. Which of the following best expresses the idea behind

83. When any religion attempts to increase the number of its followers 1) it lessens the burden of another one. 2) the affected religions do not approve it. 3) bargaining takes place. 4) it has to offer something at stake. 5) people come in large numbers to join it.

India has fixed its target of 1% share of total exports in the world. For this it is imperative to maintain the annual export growth rate of 18%. To achieve this target India needs an extensive and rational export policy th*rt would rid us from economic recession. To increase export it is r .r^ssary for us to develop our infrastructure. For this we ncc.i . sources. We need to work at fast speed and at the same time w ie td new markets too. These days we stress more on the marl-of European Union, America and Russia, where we have not witnessed any radical change. We should look for the markets of Latin America and African countries. The government can support us in this regard as well as in research work regarding new markets. Considering the slump in various countries including America, it is very necessary to explore new markets. However, there are many impediments in the growth of export. Small exporters face great problem in getting loans from banks. Since small-scale industries contribute 65% to our export, it is necessary to aim at some initiatives so that the loan processes can be made easy for them.
The growth in the exports of Malaysia, China and South Korea is the result of the growth of their smal 1-scale industries. 206. Prospect oflndian exports to the Latin American and African
countries is better than those to EU, Russia and America. 207. India has adequate power facilities. 208. India needs to encourage small-scale industries. 209. Contribution oflndian export is 0.60% of total exports in
the world. 210. Required growth in Indian export can be achieved only
when the small-scale industries are funded properly. Directions (Q. 211-215): Study the following informa
