Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power. The answer should be C.

A is definitely not the answer because 'Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient', so Mahatma Gandhi did not believe in industrialization, hence those who did not believe in the industrialisation of the country can NOT Share the dream. Whereas the last line clearly backs C.

Option C must be the correct answer as it is evident in the paragraph. Now let me go against the odds. Considering option A as the right answer is illogical, I mean it is not mentioned anywhere that those who did not believe in the industrialisation of the country did not share Mahatma Gandhi's dream.

Mathani Gandhi believed in the industrialization of the country but industrialization was no answer to the problems that plagued the India's poor and the last sentence says "such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear " not "was not shared " so the correct answer is A not C.

No, you are wrong @Prayesh.

Because "idyllic and rural paradise" and industrialisation of the country are two opposite thoughts. It is imperative that the answer be C. Moreover, it is so mentioned in the paragraph, line.

Another correction-- it should be appeal and not appear.

Option A is correct, its confusing though as they have used negative sentences. For instance, it may stand for:

"Mahatma Gandhi's dream of 'an idyllic and rural paradise' was shared by those who did believe in the industrialisation of the country".

Option A is incorrect as Mahatma Gandhi never believed Industrialization could solve problem of poor.

Also any one believing in Industrialization will oppose Mahatma Gandhi's view. Hence the Best answer possible is Option C.

I also got confused. Apparently option 'C' is the right answer but @Prayesh is right.

If we compare both option A & C. We would see that A is comparatively a better option.

Mahatma Gandhi thought that industrialization is not the solution to the problems so he does not support industrialization the correct answer is C I guess.

From the last line: "Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power. ".

C is the correct answer.

I suppose it should have been 'those who inherited political powers after independence' I am concluding this from the last sentence of the paragraph.
