SSC CPO 2024 - 27th June 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q5

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

There are no ancient nations anywhere in the world. All nations are modern. Ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, ancient India – all of them may have had great civilizations whose architecture, art, and literature are objects of admiration. But they are not nations. To realize this truth, you will have to forget for the time being the history you were taught at school. Because it is that history, drilled into your heads from the time you were children, and constantly renewed by national festivals and ceremonies, the speeches of your leaders, and novels, films, and television serials, that make it seem obvious to you that your nation is ancient. In actual fact, it is not true. Your nation is not – indeed no nation on earth is – ancient. Only modern people can imagine that way.
