“Consequently, the colonial state could not settle simply for eminence at the cost of its marginality; it began to take initiatives to introduce the logic of modernity into Indian society.” Which of the following best captures the sense of this statement?
Explanation:
This question also requires some hold on vocabulary, ‘marginality’ means to consider something as insignificant or not important. Now the colonial state was marginalized because it was at the periphery of the Indian society, so the colonial state here refers to the small ruling elite. Even if we try to answer the question only through our understanding of the word marginalize, we can see that besides option 4, no other option captures the correct essence of the meaning. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
