UNIT - II
4 (a) Read the following passage carefully and make notes.
'I entertain great regard for your fine abilities and love of the country and that shall be unabated whether I have the good fortune to secure your co-operation or face your honest opposition.' These words are incorporated in a letter addressed to Mokshagundam Visveswarayya by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi and Visvesvarayya played a vital role in their unique ways in shaping the destiny of India. But the means and methods they followed, however, were not always similar; they appeared to be diametrically opposed in certain respects. While Gandhi personified himself as 'Daridranarayana', the god of the poor and was dressed as a faquir, Visvesvarayya was always immaculately dressed. And unlike Gandhi, Visvesvarayya was in favour of large-scale industrialization. Visvevarayya came to prominence as the architect of big dams and successfully undertook a number of reforms as the Dewan of Mysore; Gandhi attained universal fame by showing the world that one can achieve his goals by following the path of truth and non-violence.
