Directions (6-10). Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.
(A) “Nationalism”, here, reduces India to a country that is a homeland to a particular religious practice and “spiritual culture”, differences to which are treated as alien.
(B) The nation-state here is just an instrumental organisation governing Hindu society, which creates allowances for others to be part of this nationhood but in clearly majoritarian terms.
(C) It has now become too easy to brand anyone articulating differences with a homogenous construct of nationalism.
(D) Cultural nationalism, largely identified with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), limits the Indian nation to a majoritarian construct.
(E) This is because cultural nationalism — an idea that has been associated with those in power today — basically seeks to subsume the “other” within a limiting construct of the self and the nation.
(F) Dalits who reject Brahminical Hinduism, leftists and secular intellectuals who reject Hindutva, beef-eaters, inter-religious couples and even dissidents who argue for “ azadi ” (freedom) from hunger, patriarchy and caste oppression, as Mr. Kumar did, are branded as “anti-national”.
