Question

"I believe that the civilization India has evolved is not to be beaten in the world. Nothing can equal the seeds sown by

our ancestors. Rome went, Greece shared the same fate: the might of the Pharaohs was broken; Japan has become
Westernizea; of China nothing can be said; but India is still, somehow or other, sound... What we have tested and
found true on the anvil of experience, we dare not change."
-Mohandas Gandhi from the book Indian Home Rule, first published in 1938

0 (4) totalitarianism

Answer 1

3. (1) India's civilization is strong and has endured while others have fallen.

4. (2) nationalism

Step-by-step explanation:

Mohandas Gandhi believes that civilization does not necessarily mean change in the infrastructure and adoption of machinery and industries. He refers India's civilization as steady and unchangeable unlike other civilizations which have come and fallen. Gandhi believes that India's civilization sown by their ancestors cannot be altered nor erased.

In this quote, Gandhi expresses nationalism and the unique identity of the Indian people and culture that remain true to its roots and ancient civilization. He believes that the national interest of the country lays in its ancestral ways of life and not in modern ways of life.
