opportunities for expressing whatever possibilities they have. When we say that it is

necessary for us to feed, cloth and shelter all human beings, we are emphasizing what

may be called the economic aspect of the democratic ideal. We wish to diminish the

distance between wealth and poverty and to raise the living standard of the common

man. So long as there are people in our country who do not get a square meal a day,

who sometimes do not have a roof over their heads, who sleep on the pavements of our

cities, it is a challenge to us. No man who feels for his country can feel happy or

Ali is said to have revealed to the Enforcement Directorate that he used this aides-

Nasir-Baig-Kashinath Tapuria, Philip Anandraj and a Hyderabad jewelers, Ram

Bharose Gupta, to sell the jewels.

The Hyderabad Police, in charge of Museum securing, maintain that not a single piece

of jewellery has gone missing from the museum. But a member manages the HEH the

Nizam’s jewellery Trust, which manages the dizzling collection; say it’s quite possible

that jewellery worth crores of rupees has been smuggled out of India or sold off by

Husan Ali with Nasir Baig’s help. He stays, “These might have been bought from the

Nizam’s relatives who had fallen on bad times or simply stolen and sold in the grey

market.”

In 1995, after a 17 year long battle in the Supreme Court, the centre acquired the

Nizam’s huge collection for Rs. 25 crore. This collection which includes one of Tipu

Sultan’s swords, emerald states acquired from the Ramanovs of Russia and the famous

Jacob diamond, is kept in the RBI’s lockers in Mumbai. It was exhibited in Delhi in 2007.

The trust members says that, even in 1995, when invited for a valuation, Chiritie’s and

Soheby’s put its worth at Rs. 1200 crore. “They said such a collection surpassed even the

British morarch’s collection” he says, “It could be worth at least Rs. 15,000 crore in the

International Market.”

SAS (OB) Entrance Examination-2014-2015

ENGLISH AND HINDI

Paper-I

Time: 3 Hours Maximum Marks: 150

Note:- (i) Attempt English Part (A) in English and Hindi Part (B) in Hindi.

(ii) Please note that the paper has been set to test inter-alia candidate’s

ability to write correctly.

Part (A)

ENGLISH

1. (a) Read the annexed passage and attempt a précis not exceeding one third in

length. (20)

As it happens, that letter was published in October 1949. It’s useful reminder

people have been bemoaning the state of our youth since time immemorial. The

sensible conclusion is that our youngsters are probably no worse than they’ve

ever been. But I’d go further-I think they’ve better. Teenagers’ todays are

brighter, more energetic, more outgoing, more tolerant and more interesting than

any previous generation.

The truth is, we hear plenty about youths starting riots or selling themselves to

Simon Cowell, but we never hear about the majority. The 426,993 youngsters, for

instance, who are active members of the Scout Association in the UK, where I

live, or all those British teenagers who give an estimated £100 million a year to

charity. Surely they all want to be foot-ballers or glamour models? Not a bit of it.

When research company Britain Thinks examined teenagers’ attitudes earlier last

year, they found that the most popular goal (shared by some 70 percent) was to

“have a job you love,” followed by having a university degree, owning your own

home, being free of debt and being in a happy, long term relationship.

That tallies with another study by the Institute for Economic and Social Research,

which found that what made teenagers happiest wasn’t a new Smartphone or

pair of shoes, but “the simple things in life,” such close friends, going swimming

and spending time with their parents. We may think of young people as slaves to

fashion, but what they really like is a good gossip.Indeed, the more you look at

today’s youngsters, the more impressive they seem. They are, of course, more

technologically knowledgeable and adept than any generation before them. But

the interesting thing is that they’re not merely consumers; they’re creators. Think

of all those youngsters developing their own websites, gadgets or apps rather

41

than waiting for a big firm to come up with something, as previous generations

might have.Seventeen-year-old Nick D’Aoisio is an example. He invented a

news-summary app called Summly and sold it to Yahoo! Last year for a reported

£ 18 million. The company offered him a job in California, but, true to the from of

his level-headed peer group, he turned it down. “I’II be staying in London,” he

explained “I want to finish my A levels and I couldn’t really live on my own out

there.”

(b) Provide appropriate heading and sub-headings.

2. Write a short note not exceeding 200/250 words on any one of the below given

topics:

(i) Capital punishment-Need to abolish.

(ii) Effects of violence and vulgarity in films.

(iii) Communalism: A threat to India’s unity.

(iv) Where there is a will there is a way. (20)

3. Draft an official communication from the Director of Public Relations Himachal

Pradesh addressed to various subordinate offices in the Department high-lighting the

need to project effectively and forcefully the salient features of various welfare schemes

initiated for the benefit of weaker section of society. (10)

4. Make sentences using the following proverbs/clichés in a manner that makes the

meaning abundantly clear.

(i) It is not working that kills but worry.

(ii) Hunger is the best sauce.

(iii) The more you get, the more you want.

(iv) Tomorrow never comes.

Or

Beard the lion in his den. (10)

SAS (OB) PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION-2016 OMNIBUS ACCOUNTS

PAPER I

Time allowed: 03 hours Maximum Mark: 150 Note: (i) Part A be attempted in English medium and Part B in Hindi.

(ii)Mind your grammar lest mistakes mark the credit. PART-A

1. (a) Attempt a précis of the following English passage: 15 The third and final volume of Gopal’s grand biography of Nehru deals with the last clocade of his life. By this time the euphoria of Independence had begun to wear off. The economic spurt, a consequence of being rid of the British yok, has started leveling off.Indians had begun to get a feel of what it means to be on their own without being subdued by a garrison state. The results did not seem pleasing. Especially since the State in India now came to be hijacked by local interest groups that showed none of the altruistic traits that had marked the freedom struggle generation. Nehru, Gopal says, was warned of this kind of hijacking by his son-in-law. Feroze Gandhi. The Prime Minister preferred to protect the wrong dowrs. When Feroze below up the financial scandals in Parliament and forced the Finance Minister to resign Nehru did not know how to react. He persisted in protecting those on whom he had reposed his faith. One such was Partap singh Kairon, the Chief Minister of Punjab. Nehru defended Kairon against the baseless charges made by biased critics like Bhim sen Sachar. Gopal, though, ceases to be a neutral biographer at this point. He takes sides with Sachar. Even while a hostile inquiry subsequently exonerated Kairon entirely. Gopal persists in vilifying the Chief Minister of Punjab. Gopal divides his study into nine operational chapters. These chapters deal with the diverse themes that caught Nehru’s fancy as he grew older. Kerala, Tibet. Tibet China Pakistan. Cooperative farming, Congo, Nationalism, goa and the war with China, each them gets a chapter. Kerala, as many readers would recall, had the twin distinaction of having the first elected communist government in the world and of having that government dismissed undemocratically by Nehru’s liberal democratic government . Gopal explains that away as Nehru’s effort to bring to heel the communists.

SAS (OB) Entrance Examination-2014-2015

ENGLISH AND HINDI

Paper-I


Note:- (i) Attempt English Part (A) in English and Hindi Part (B) in Hindi.

(ii) Please note that the paper has been set to test inter-alia candidate’s

ability to write correctly.

Part (A)

ENGLISH

2. (a) Read the annexed passage and attempt a précis not exceeding one third in

length. (20)

As it happens, that letter was published in October 1949. It’s useful reminder

people have been bemoaning the state of our youth since time immemorial. The

sensible conclusion is that our youngsters are probably no worse than they’ve

ever been. But I’d go further-I think they’ve better. Teenagers’ todays are

brighter, more energetic, more outgoing, more tolerant and more interesting than

any previous generation.

The truth is, we hear plenty about youths starting riots or selling themselves to

Simon Cowell, but we never hear about the majority. The 426,993 youngsters, for

instance, who are active members of the Scout Association in the UK, where I

live, or all those British teenagers who give an estimated £100 million a year to

charity. Surely they all want to be foot-ballers or glamour models? Not a bit of it.

When research company Britain Thinks examined teenagers’ attitudes earlier last

year, they found that the most popular goal (shared by some 70 percent) was to

“have a job you love,” followed by having a university degree, owning your own

home, being free of debt and being in a happy, long term relationship.

That tallies with another study by the Institute for Economic and Social Research,

which found that what made teenagers happiest wasn’t a new Smartphone or

60

pair of shoes, but “the simple things in life,” such close friends, going swimming

and spending time with their parents. We may think of young people as slaves to

fashion, but what they really like is a good gossip.Indeed, the more you look at

today’s youngsters, the more impressive they seem. They are, of course, more

technologically knowledgeable and adept than any generation before them. But

the interesting thing is that they’re not merely consumers; they’re creators. Think

of all those youngsters developing their own websites, gadgets or apps rather

than waiting for a big firm to come up with something, as previous generations

might have.Seventeen-year-old Nick D’Aoisio is an example. He invented a

news-summary app called Summly and sold it to Yahoo! Last year for a reported

£ 18 million. The company offered him a job in California, but, true to the from of

his level-headed peer group, he turned it down. “I’II be staying in London,” he

explained “I want to finish my A levels and I couldn’t really live on my own out

there.”

(b) Provide appropriate heading and sub-headings.

2. Write a short note not exceeding 200/250 words on any one of the below given

topics:

(i) Capital punishment-Need to abolish.

(ii) Effects of violence and vulgarity in films.

(iii) Communalism: A threat to India’s unity.

(iv) Where there is a will there is a way. (20)

3. Draft an official communication from the Director of Public Relations Himachal

Pradesh addressed to various subordinate offices in the Department high-lighting the

need to project effectively and forcefully the salient features of various welfare schemes

initiated for the benefit of weaker section of society. (10)

4. Make sentences using the following proverbs/clichés in a manner that makes the

meaning abundantly clear.

(vii) It is not working that kills but worry.

(viii) Hunger is the best sauce.

(ix) The more you get, the more you want.

(x) Tomorrow never comes.

(xi) Cast pearls before swine.

Or

Beard the lion in his den. (10)

5 (a) Give the opposite of any five of the following:

61

(xi) Changeable

(xii) Idiotic

PAPER I

Time allowed: 03 hours Maximum Mark: 150 Note: (i) Part A be attempted in English medium and Part B in Hindi.

(ii)Mind your grammar lest mistakes mark the credit. PART-A

5. (a) Attempt a précis of the following English passage: 15 The third and final volume of Gopal’s grand biography of Nehru deals with the last clocade of his life. By this time the euphoria of Independence had begun to wear off. The economic spurt, a consequence of being rid of the British yok, has started leveling off.Indians had begun to get a feel of what it means to be on their own without being subdued by a garrison state. The results did not seem pleasing. Especially since the State in India now came to be hijacked by local interest groups that showed none of the altruistic traits that had marked the freedom struggle generation. Nehru, Gopal says, was warned of this kind of hijacking by his son-in-law. Feroze Gandhi. The Prime Minister preferred to protect the wrong dowrs. When Feroze below up the financial scandals in Parliament and forced the Finance Minister to resign Nehru did not know how to react. He persisted in protecting those on whom he had reposed his faith. One such was Partap singh Kairon, the Chief Minister of Punjab. Nehru defended Kairon against the baseless charges made by biased critics like Bhim sen Sachar. Gopal, though, ceases to be a neutral biographer at this point. He takes sides with Sachar. Even while a hostile inquiry subsequently exonerated Kairon entirely. Gopal persists in vilifying the Chief Minister of Punjab. Gopal divides his study into nine operational chapters. These chapters deal with the diverse themes that caught Nehru’s fancy as he grew older. Kerala, Tibet. Tibet China Pakistan. Cooperative farming, Congo, Nationalism, goa and the war with China, each them gets a chapter. Kerala, as many readers would recall, had the twin distinaction of having the first elected communist government in the world and of having that government dismissed undemocratically by Nehru’s liberal democratic government . Gopal explains that away as Nehru’s effort to bring to heel the communists.
