HISTORY
PAPER—II

Note : This paper contains fifty (50) multiple-choice questions, each question carrying
two (2) marks. Attempt all of them.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions (1 - 5) that follow, based on
your understanding of the passage :

Northwards Indian cultural influence spread through Central Asia to China.


Faint and weak contact between China and India was probably made in Mauryan
times, if not before, but only when, some 2,000 years ago, the Han Empire began to
drive its frontiers towards the Caspian did India and China really meet. Unlike South-
East Asia, China did not assimilate Indian ideas in every aspect of her culture, but the
whole of the Far East is in India’s debt for Buddhism, which helped to mould the
distinctive civilizations of China, Korea, Japan and Tibet.
As well as her special gifts to Asia, India has conferred many practical blessings
on the world at large; notably rice, cotton, the sugar cane, many spices, the domestic
fowl, the game of chess and, most important of all, the decimal system of numeral
notation, the invention of an unknown Indian mathematician early in the Christian
era. The extent of the spiritual influence of India on the ancient West is much disputed.
The heterodox Jewish sect of the Essenes, which probably influenced early Christianity,
followed monastic practices in some respects similar to those of Buddhism. Parallels
may be traced between a few passages in the New Testament and the PÂli scriptures.
Similarities between the teachings of western philosophers and mystics from Pythagoras
to Plotinus and those of the Upanisads have frequently been noticed. None of these
similarities, however, is close enough to give certainty, especially as we have no evidence
that any classical writer had a deep knowledge of Indian religion. We can only say
that there was always some contact between the Hellenic world and India, mediated
first by the Achaemenid Empire, then by that of the Seleucids, and finally, under the
Romans, by the traders of the Indian ocean. Christianity began to spread at the time
when this contact was closest. We know that Indian ascetics occasionally visited the
West, and that there was a colony of Indian merchants at Alexandria. The possibility
of Indian influence on Neo-platonism and early Christianity cannot be ruled out.
