Approach Solution - 1

This question is about which state is linked to the GI-tagged Kandhamal Haldi.

  1. Odisha: Kandhamal is a district of Odisha, and the turmeric grown there, known for its high curcumin content, received the Geographical Indication tag under this state's name.
  2. Karnataka: This state has other GI products but not Kandhamal turmeric.
  3. Kerala: Kerala's GI-tagged spices are separate from the Kandhamal variety.
  4. Tamil Nadu: This state also has its own distinct GI produce, unrelated to Kandhamal Haldi.

The correct answer is Odisha, the state where the Kandhamal district and its turmeric are located.

Approach Solution -2

A Geographical Indication tag is granted based on where a product is actually grown, so identifying which state contains the Kandhamal district settles this question.

  1. Odisha: Kandhamal district lies in Odisha, and the turmeric cultivated there, prized for its high curcumin content, is the variety that carries the GI tag under this state.
  2. Karnataka: This state's GI-tagged products are unrelated to Kandhamal, which is not located within Karnataka.
  3. Kerala: Kerala's spice GI tags cover different produce entirely, not Kandhamal turmeric.
  4. Tamil Nadu: Tamil Nadu's own GI-tagged items are separate from this Odisha district's turmeric.

The correct answer is Odisha, the state that is home to the Kandhamal district and its GI-tagged turmeric.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

According to the passage, which was the unfinished part of Gandhi's experiment?

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
