PASSAGE II (Question Nos. 196 to 200)
K
Worthless currency is not necessarily useless. It can
be a pointed way of shaming someone who asks for a
bribe. That is the thinking behind zero-rupee notes, an
Indian anti-corruption gimmick now attracting worldwide
interest. They look roughly like 50-rupee notes; people are
encouraged to hand them to corrupt officials, signalling
resistance to sleaze.
Vijay Anand, founder of the 5th Pillar, an anti-bribery
campaign that launched the notes, calls them a non-violent
weapon of non co-operation. His group has distributed
KUNDAN
more than 2.5m zero-rupee notes since 2007. The idea is
catching on. Campaigners from Argentina, Nepal, Mexico
and Benin have been in touch asking for details. Malaysia
is mulling a similar project. And a worthless note will be
launched in Yemen next year.
Yemen is usually reckoned to be one of the worlds
most corrupt countries. But Mariam Adnan, an activist
there, says a new generation may be amenable to change.
Her group is handing out 5000 honest riyals in schools
and universities. You have to change minds before you
can change laws, she says.
Such campaigns might be risky in countries where
bribes are extorted at gunpoint. But in places where public
opinion is already shifting, they could be a useful way of
making bureaucrats behave better. Shaazka Beyerle, an
expert on civil resistance campaigns, says that using zero-
rupee note offers protection. It shows a persons affiliation
with a larger movement which cannot be brushed aside by
one angry official.
196. What is the central idea of the given passage?
(A) It is essential to issue fake currency as a way of
shaming the corrupt official who asks for a bribe.
(B) The zero-rupee note stands as a non-violent
weapon of non-cooperation.
(C) The resistance campaigns can be successful
where bribes are extorted at gunpoint.
(D) It is worthless to think about the success of fake
currency as a means to fight against corruption.
197. Which of the following is true about the 5th Pillar
campaign?
(A) It is anti-bribery campaign.
(B) Under the 5th Pillar campaign more than two-and-
a-half million fake currency notes have been
distributed so far.
(C) Under the said campaign zero-rupee notes have
been launched as non-violent weapons of non-
cooperation.
(D) All the above
198. What is the intention behind launching zero-rupee
notes?
(A) To use them as a tool to fight against inflation
(B) To hand them to children to make fun
(C) To cheat innocent people and destablise Indias
economy
(D) To shame someone who asks for a bribe
199. What has been the impact of the anti-bribery campaign
launched by Vijay Anand?
(i) The idea of the anti-bribery campaign is catching
on and the campaigners from a few foreign
countries are asking for details.
(ii) Malaysia has outright rejected the concept of
using fake currency as a means of fighting against
corruption.
(iii) Yemen is going to launch worthless notes in line
with 5th Pillar of India.
(A) Only (i) and (ii) (B) Only (ii) and (iii)
(C) Only (i) and (iii) (D) All (i), (ii) and (iii)
