Read the following passage and answer the questions given below it: The reformer must know that what moves people in authentic life, not mere writing. The newspapers and journals that Lokmanya Tilak and Gandhiji ran the books they wrote, sold title but had an enormous effect. Their writing was known to reflect or be just extension of, their exemplary lives. It was the authenticity if their lives which lent weight to their message, to their example. All knew that their lives were an integral whole – they were not moral in public life and lax in private, not vice-versa: they were not full of pious thought and secret resolutions within the walls of a temple and cheats outside. A writer who is merely entertaining his readers, even one who is merely informing them, can do what he wants with the rest of his life. But the writer who sets out to use his pen to reform public life cannot afford such dualities. Here is a testimony of one great man – Gandhiji – about the influence of another, Lokmanya Tilak: “I believe that an editor who has anything worth saying and who commands a clientele cannot be easily hushed. He has delivered his finished message as soon as he is put under duress. The Lokmanya spoke more eloquently form the Malaya fortress than through the columns of the printed Kesari. His influence was multiplied thousand fold by his imprisonment and his speech and pen had acquired much greater power after he was discharged than before his imprisonment. By his death, he was editing his paper without pen and speech through the sacred resolution of people to realize his life’s dream. He could not possibly have done more if he were today in flesh preaching his views. Critics like me would perhaps be still finding fault with his expression of his or that. Today his message rules millions of hearts which are determined to raise permanent living memorial by the fulfilment of his ambition in their lives.”
