Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided between an opening statement 1 and closing statement 6. The four statements are jumbled up and form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these six taken together.

1. If the Indian national movement did not express the interests of the Indian people vis-a-vis imperialism, then whose interests did it represent?

A. Thus, the elite groups, and their needs and interests, provide the origin as well as the driving force of the idea, ideology and movement of nationalism.

B. But in each case, these groups had a narrow, selfish interest in opposing British rule or each other.

C. The national movement assert the writers of the imperialist school that it was not a people's movement but a product of the needs and interests of the elite groups who used it to serve either their own narrow interests or the interests of their prescriptive groups.

D. These groups were sometimes formed around religious or caste identities and sometimes through political connections built around patronage.

6. Nationalism, then, is seen primarily as a mere ideology which these elite groups used to legitimize their narrow ambitions and to mobilize public support.
