The growing tendencies towards regionalism in the country have had serious effects on higher education. These tendencies are generally expressed in demands relating to the medium of instruction. Some of these demands are based on sound educational principles and are wholly justifiable; but in their most extreme from they usually indicate either ignorance of the minimum requirements of higher education or chauvinism of a kind that places considerations of a parochial character above these requirements. In practice, both have been in evidence. more specifically, the problem arises when instruction at the post-graduate level is sought to be given in the regional languages. Most of the relevant literature with which students at this level of education ought to be familiar is usually not available in any of the regional languages. It is true that comprehension is much easier in the mother tongue, and that the necessary literature could grow over a period of time. But when the range of literature a student is exposed to at even the post-graduate level is constricted by language barriers. The content of education gets diluted. Since the products of such education are later absorbed as teachers of the succeeding generations, of the succeeding generations, the damage done is more long-lasting than is generally assumed.
The usual answer to these impediments is that English needs to be taught as a “library language”and students should be required to familiarize themselves with the more advanced literature in the subject through this language. In principle this is unobjectionable, particularly if the “library language” is taught intensively from an early stage of schooling and the students have therefore no difficulties of comprehension through this language.

निम्नलिखित अवतरण को पढ़िए और इसके बाद दिए गए प्रश्नों के उत्तर दीजिये :
We all are creatures of the cliches among which we have grown up. From the middle of the nineteenth century, such phrases as ‘the struggle for existence’ or ‘the survival of the fittest’, and ‘for a long time the biologists’ theory that the animal world was like ‘a gladiator’s show’, have conditioned our thinking. More recently, the general freudian atmosphere. Supporting the old idea of the original sin, has destroyed our belief even in our babies, who appear as title gangsters possessed by jealousy and hate. The result has been that many of us have felt that it is all hopeless, that it is natural for everything to fight for itself, that struggle is the law of existence, and thus hatred and war are inevitable. But during the present times there has been more and more evidence to suggest that co-operation may be even more important in the evolutionary process than competition.
While in nature there is indeed a struggle for life, there is also such a thing as the struggle for the life of others, and today the principle of co-operation is in a fair way becoming established as the most important factor in the survival of animals groups as of individuals. From the protozoa right up to man this mutual aid has been established: there is a ‘social appetite’ even in the lowest of organisms. No longer can domination of the weaker by the stronger, whether individuals or nations, be supported by the supposed example of the natural world.
6. The most appropriate title for the passage would be :
A. the conditioned world of evolution
B. the process of evolution
C. cliches about evolution
D. understanding evolution afresh
