2. Translate the following into Odia: [25]

Though the whole history of mankind is dotted with the deeds of injustice and cruelty, the

events of famine and plagues, and the furies of war, the good deeds of daring spirits are so

numerous and overwhelming that they shine out distinctly from the pages of history. The

great dreamers, doers and builders have led the world from darkness to light and from

destruction to construction. The tales of the heroic deeds have come down from generation to

generation and inspired people to work for human progress. The lesson of history is that

truth and love always win and tyrants and murderers, howsoever strong, are always defeated.

All great spiritualists have called upon people to give up the ways of war for the path of

peace and love. Responsibility demands that we pay our own way and leave something

behind for those who will follow. Leaving a heritage of having lived an ethical, moral and

productive life is something all of us can do. Teaching a functional illiterate how to read

would enrich that person’s life and enable him or her to make a bigger and better

contribution to society. Acts such as giving a word of encouragement and setting an example

of gentle kindness and thoughtful consideration for others are much needed in our society

today and would leave your impact on future generations.
