Question

`The tribes should develop their own culture and make their contribution to the cultural richness of the country. It is unnecessary to cause them to change their customs, habits or diversions so far as to make themselves indistinguishable liom stimulating diversity'.

Which of the following is not an assumption required by the above argument?

Options

• Colour and diversity are desirable things

• Tribal people are capable of contributing to India's cultural diversity

• Changing tribal customs is a necessary condition of making modern medicine available to tribal people 

• Rural life is presently full of colour and diversity

Answer 1

Changing tribal customs is a necessary condition of making modern medicine available to tribal people 

Explanation:

The argument does not mention the conditions that demand the tribal people to be flexible and change some of their customs. Moreover, the idea of modern medicines is beyond the scope of the passage. Thus, 'Changing tribal customs is a necessary condition of making modern medicine available to tribal people' is not an assumption implicit in the argument.
