"Gandhi's greatest challenge was post-truth. The Indian social universe was overflowing with ways of living established by the powerful that inevitably oppressed the powerless. In order to tackle this inequality, Gandhi changed the understanding of truth that the powerful had inherited and internalized. He dislodged truth from its long-held. theological location of an ultimate divine compassion. Only goodness mattered. If that quality could be inculcated, truth would take care of itself."

Question 51

Which of the following notions is compatible with Gandhi's idea of Truth?
A. Truth is inherited and internalized
B. Truth is ultimate divine revelation
C. Truth is a byproduct of honesty, humanism and compassion
D. Truth directly corresponds with goodness

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

Option A suggests that truth is something that is passed down or acquired through inheritance or internalization. However, the passage explicitly states that Gandhi changed the understanding of truth by giving more importance to goodness. Thus, this is not the correct statement.

The passage explicitly mentions that Gandhi dislodged truth from its long-held theological location of an ultimate divine compassion. This suggests that Gandhi did not view truth as a singular, divine revelation but rather shifted the understanding of truth away from its theological association. Thus, option B is not a correct statement.

The passage explicitly mentions that truth is a byproduct of goodness. Honesty, humanism and compassion are the subsets of goodness. Thus, option C is a correct statement.

Similarly, option D will also be a correct statement.

The correct option is D.
