Question 9.
Which of the following observations is a valid conclusion to draw from the author’s statement that “the logical structure of endogenous change does not apply here. Here transformation agendas attack as an external force”?
Question Explanation
". Theoretically,because modernity was externally introduced, it is explanatorily unhelpful to apply the logical format of the ‘transition process’ to this pattern of change."
From the given lines it can be understood that the general endogeneous method of the process of transition could not be accepted to British colonialisation of India, because modernity did not occur naturally but was externally introduced.
The passage only states that initiatives for modernity were introduced to India through external sources. It does not state that all colonised societies cannot be changed by logic. Hence this option is incorrect.
In the case of India, the transformational agents themselves are inorganic external forces. Hence, option C cannot be inferred.
The passage nowhere states that Indian society is exogamous. Hence option D is incorrect.
Option B best describes the conclusion that can be drawn from the author's statement. Hence it is the correct answer.
