LONG Q/A

A2- According to the author, history teaches that when discipline in a nation grows weak through idleness, weakness or groupism. It destroyed the economic life. Its standard of living falls and security disappears. Either of these two things happen. In that case either some strong militant power steps in or dictator arises. They impose their own brand of discipline to control the situation.

A2 Liberty and discipline exist together. Some people think that discipline is a restraint(control) on liberty. It trains people to obey rules and orders. Liberty is the birthright of each and every person .But even then, it is not a personal affair. It is a compromise. If every man is free to do what he liked, there would be chaos( lawlessness) everywhere. So discipline is necessary in every field of society. We can have discipline without liberty, but we cannot have liberty without discipline.

A3- Indiscipline leads to confusion. It creates corruption, lawlessness and disorder. In short indiscipline eats into the roots of our moral, social and national life.

A4- An officer must first realize his own responsibility. Only then his instructions have an effect on his subordinates.

A5- Discipline is, in fact, the foundation of all freedom. It makes man truly free. It enables man to live in the society and yet retain individual liberty. It brings order in the society.

READING (PASSAGE)

 

One morning, long ago, as a brand new second-lieutenant, I was walking on to a parade. A private soldier passed me and saluted. I acknowledged his salute with an airy wave of the hand. Suddenly behind me, a voice rasped out my name. I spun around and there was my Colonel, for whom I had a most wholesome respect, and with him Regimental Sergeant Major, of whom also I stood in the same awe. “I see”, said the Colonel, “you don’t know how to return a salute. Sergeant Major, plant your staff in the ground and let Mr. Slim practise saluting it until he does know how to return a salute!” So to and fro I marched in sight of the whole battalion, saluting the Sergeant Major’s cane (I could cheerfully have murdered the Colonel, the Sergeant Major and my grinning fellows–subalterns). At the end of ten minutes, the Colonel called me up to him. All he said was: “Now remember, discipline begins with the officers!”
