Read the following passage and answer (question numbers from 1 3 to 1 8 Often, as I (Nehru) wandered from meeting to meeting, I spoke to my audience of this India of ours, of Hindustan and of Bharata, the old Sanskrit name derived from the mythical founder of the race. Sometimes as I reached a gathering, a great roar of welcome would greet me : Bharat Mata Ki Jai — ‘Victory to Mother India’.

Bharat Mata, Mother India, was essentially these millions of people, and victory to her meant victory to these people. You are parts of this Bharat Mata, I told them, you are in a manner yourselves, Bharath Mata and as this idea slowly soaked into their brains, their eyes would light up as if they had made a great discovery.How did people greet Nehru when he went to address them ?
