“There cannot be any divided loyalty”  
Govind Ballabh Pant argued that in order to become loyal citizens people had to stop focusing only on the community and the self:

For the success of democracy one must train himself in the art of self-discipline. In democracies one should care less for himself and more for others. There cannot be any divided loyalty. All loyalties must exclusively be centred round the State. If in a democracy, you create rival loyalties, or you create a system in which any individual or group, instead of suppressing his extravagance, cares nought for larger or other interests then democracy is doomed.

(i) How does G.B. Pant define the attributes of a loyal citizen? Explain.

(ii) Under what circumstances is democracy doomed? Explain.

(iii) Do you think that with divided loyalty one can serve the country faithfully? Explain your views.
