Read the following text and choose/pick the correct answer of each of the following questions: (Q. No. 91 - 95)
Ever since the Europeans entered into Melanesia, recurrent messianic movements took place in this region of the Pacific ocean. Such movements have been referred to as ‘Cargo Cults’. Peter Worsley has exquisitely described it in his book” The Trumpet shall sound: a study of Cargo Cults in Melanesia.
The specific features of the Cargo Cult were that at any point of time, a shaman would suddenly announce like a messiah, that the doomsday have arrived. Every thing would be inundated underwater and thus destroyed. Therefore, there was no need to accumulate any wealth. The gardens were uprooted and destroyed. All domestic pigs and fawls were killed.
He further declared that after the doomsday there would be a new beginning. In the new set-up, the whitemen would become black, and blacks would become whites. In addition, he also announced that their gods and ancestors would arrive in their land by aeroplane. They would bring enormous ‘Cargo’ i.e., the European goods produced in factories for them. He blamed the whitemen that the Cargo that they gave to them were, in fact, sent by their ancestors from heaven.
The Europeans first thought that it was a rebellion against them, and they tried to suppress them forcefully.
Peter Worsley suggests that Cargo Cults were, in fact, revitalization movements carried on by the Melanesians during their early contact with the Europeans. The Europeans were then technologically most advanced, and the Melanesians were the least in this respect. Cargo Cults is also a manifestation of culture conflict.
As a result, despite being aware of their grass exploitation by the whitemen, the Melanesians could not clash with them. They were aware of the might of the European guns. On the other hand, they had become so used to Europeans goods that they were indispensable for them. Finding no way out, they looked up to their Shaman for panacea.
