This text is for question No. 1 to 5.

In my dream, I saw myself leisurely walking through a meadow. Out of nowhere a bird landed on my shoulder. As I looked at it curiously, I realized something wasn’t right. It was a dove, but it was yellow, not white. Suddenly, blazing light flashed through the clouds like a streak of lightning and filled the meadow. The land rumbled underneath my feet. The blinding light slowly transformed into waves of flowing majestic fabric, unfolding out of the sky. I stood spellbound, waiting to hear what God had come to say.

Out of the light came voice that was both strong as thunder and gentle as a lamb. “Stay pure”, it said. Only two simple words, yet they pierced through my being and nearly knocked me off my feet. I heard the voice first with my ears; then the vibrations of the sound filled my spirit and my soul until the current flowed all the way through my body.

Just as quickly as the light burst into the meadow, it dissolved before my eyes. I looked at the dove. It was white. Then, I heard the same voice, this time whispering in the wind., “You’ll know when it’s right, when the dove is white.” The dove left my shoulder and flew up into the sky until I could see it no more.

Christina DiMari, Ocean Star (2005)

This text is for question No. 6 to 10.

Sometimes experience in other countries can help people to understand their own identity better. Mahatma Gandhi was born 1869 at Portandar in Western India. After studying in India, he dreamt of going to England to study. He was told that his Hindu religion did not allow voyages abroad. However, Gandhi was very determined and he finally left for England in 1887. At first, he tried to learn to behave like an English gentleman, but he soon learnt that it was better to be himself. He studied law in London, qualifying in 1891. He also learnt about other religions.

He returned home to India and worked as a lawyer for two years. After some problems, he was offered a job in South Africa. Here he experienced racism as a member Indian community. He decided to fight for the rights of Indians using “passive resistance”. He had three main beliefs, namely non-violence, religious tolerance and truth. When he finally returned to India in 1915, he became a great political leader. During the fight for independence he was often put in prison, but his beliefs never changed.

Gandhi had studied in Britain, so he understood the British better than they understood him. Gandhi’s leadership led to independence, but, on Independence Day, 15 August, 1947, Gandhi refused to celebrate. He was in favor of Hindu-Muslim unity but Muslims and Hindus could not agree, so a separate Muslim state was formed in Pakistan. In 1948, Gandhi started fasting to death as a protest against fighting between India and Pakistan. He was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic on 30th January 1948. India and Pakistan are still fighting in Kashmir today. The fight for independence was a difficult one, but not as difficult as the fight for non-violence, religious tolerance and truth.
