Read the following passage
carefully and answer Question Nos. from 35 to 40 :
I had occasion to work with her closely during the Women’s International
Year in 1975 when she was chairing a Steering Committee and made me the member
in charge of publicity. Representatives from different political parties and
women’s organizations were on the committee and though the leftists claimed a
sort of proprietary right over her, Aruna encouraged and treated all members
alike. It was not her political affiliations or her involvement in a particular
cause, which won her respect and recognition, but her utter honesty in public
life, her integrity and her compassion for the oppressed which made her an
adorable person. She had the courage to differ with and defy the mightiest in
the land; yet her human spirit prompted her to work in the worst of slums to
offer succour to the poor and the exploited.
In later years – around late eighties and early nineties – Aruna Asaf Ali’s
health began to deteriorate. Though her mind remained alert, she could not
actively take up her pet causes – action for women’s advancement, planning for
economic justice, role of media, reaffirmation of values in public affairs etc.
Slowly, her movements were restricted and Aruna who had drawn sustenance from
common people, from her involvement in public life, became a lonely person. She
passed away in July 1996.
