DIRECTIONS for question 1-5: Read the given passage and answer the questions.
How do women's groups perceive, and why do they persist in struggling for, legal reforms? Upendra Baxi, a noted professor and jurist, sees a constant transition between four sets of attitudes in women's groups. The 'nihilists'... suspect all law talk is a ruse to divert and deflect, and to depoliticize the nature and agenda of the struggle for women's emancipation. 'Evangelists' show, in deep contrast, an abiding, commitment to the rule of law... The 'moderates' appreciate the potential role of law but believe that legal changes in themselves are not likely to usher significant social changes... The 'eclectics' will use it (law) without thinking much about the significance of the use of the law for social thought and action. Regretting these shifts in positions, he goes on to conclude that, "The legal order remains a big puzzle for those committed to struggle for the emancipation of women."
