Question

According to the speaker, the whole history of his people is one of ________.

• A. Prosperity and development by the aboriginals of India
• B. Continuous exploitation and dispossession by the non-aboriginals of India
• C. Ignorance and isolation from the global network
• D. Modern education and social advancement in all sectors

Hint:

Look for the line in the speech that begins with the words "the whole history of my people".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question:
We need to complete a sentence using the speaker's own view of his people's history. The speaker states it directly in the speech.

Step 2: Locate the sentence:
The speaker says the whole history of his people is one of continuous exploitation and dispossession by the non-aboriginals of India. He adds that it was also marked by rebellions and disorder.

Step 3: Check option 1:
The speaker talks of neglect, not of prosperity. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2:
This matches the speaker's own description almost word for word. So option 2 is right.

Step 5: Check option 3:
The speech does not speak of ignorance or isolation from a global network. The problem it names is unfair treatment by others. So option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4:
Modern education and advancement are things the speaker hopes for in future. He does not claim they are part of the past. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
The history of his people is one of continuous exploitation and dispossession by the non-aboriginals. This is option 2. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 2}} \]
