Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Community identity — this matches (III) Identity based on birth and belonging is ascriptive. Community identity rests on birth and ‘belonging’, not on any acquired qualification; no one chooses the family or community they are born into, so such identities are called ascriptive.
(B) State — this matches (IV) An abstract entity consisting of a set of political - legal institution controlling a geographical territory and people living in it. In its most general sense the state is an abstract entity of political-legal institutions claiming control over a territory and its people.
(C) Potti Sriramulu — this matches (I) Gandhian follower whose death led to creation of state of Andhra Pradesh. In October 1953 this former Gandhian died seven weeks after beginning a fast unto death; his martyrdom provoked violent protests and led to the creation of Andhra Pradesh.
(D) Article 29 and 30 — this matches (II) Indian constitution on minorities and cultural diversity. These Articles give any section of citizens the right to conserve its distinct language, script or culture, and all minorities the right to set up and run educational institutions of their choice.
