June 2014

Read the following passage carefully and
choose the correct answer of the questions
that follow (Q. No. 1 to 5) :
 In the middle of the fourth century of
the Christian era, something resembling a
volcanic eruption took place in the history
of the human race. The Hūnas, like a
varitable stream of lava, issued from their
homeland on the northern shores of the
Caspian Sea and spread over Europe and
Asia. Homeless and lawless, they rode
their horses awake and asleep. Their fierce
yells spread terror wherever they were
heard. They engaged all the civilized
peoples of the world in fearful cataclysmic
wars; and, wherever they could, they
killed, destroyed, burnt and devastated with
demoniac ruthlessness. In Europe, Attila
the Hun brought about the downfall of
even the powerful Roman Empire.
 About A.D. 455, the Hūnas began to
enter India. Emperor Skanda-gupta drove
them back by a supreme effort. Twelve
years later, he died. The outposts of the
empire, already weak, could offer no
further resistance. The barbarian hordes,
after passing through Persia and destroying
the Kushāna rulers of the north-west, began
to pour into India. A war of succession
appears to have followed the death of
Skanda-gupta, weakening the empire in the
hour of its danger. Next in order of
succession, five emperors including
Narasimha-gutpa Bālāditya, between A.D.
500 and 570, held precarious sway over
parts of the empire, which in spite of its
decadence was still a name to conjure with.
Many parts of the empire outside the
bounds of the compact core of the empire
became independent. In Saurāshtra, a
province of the empire, the Maitraka
general practically threw off his allegiance
on the death of Skanda-gupta. By A.D.
512, the Hunas under Toramāna, overran
north India up to Eran in the Saugar district
of Madhya Pradesh. Toramāna’s son,
Mihirakula, a veritable terror, spread fire

and carnage from the Punjab to Gwālior
and by A.D. 525 became the master of a
vast territory. Northern Indian soon
recovered from the shock of the barbarian
impact and resisted Mihirakula.
