for other purposes like irrigation

•More water will be added in the rivers that helps to generate HEP

•More supply of fish in the Arabian sea. Cyclones can also help circulate

nutrients from the seafloor, boosting ocean productivity

Disadvantages:

•Heavy rainfall causesfloods which damage and blockage of

roads/railways affects movement

•High winds damage buildings, communication wires and trees - Loss of

power supply

•Due to loss of power supply machineries in industries stop to work

which causes loss of production, business

History

Establishment of Muslim League

SourceA: Twentieth century was marked by a political awakening of the Muslims to the real

or perceived idea that the British policies in the subcontinent were hostile

towards their interests. Therefore, even those supporters of Aligarh who had

been preaching their coreligionists to keep aloof from politics, now turned to

advise the students of Aligarh College (in March 1903) to participate in politics.

This change took place because of a host of issues such as the attack on Urdu

(1900), the partition of Bengal (1905) and the Hindu reaction to that, the victory

of the pro-Hindu Labor Party in the U.K., an end of Curzon era and start of Minto’s

era.

Q- Write four reasons because of which the Muslims started taking part

in the Indian politics. [5]

British Divide And Rule Policy

Source B:The Indian rebellion of 1857 inspired a series of divisive political

ideologies which till date remain ingrained in our minds. The fact that

Muslims and Hindus united to fight against the British in 1857 ignited a

fear amongst the colonial rulers. This unity would be the end of their rule,

and they knew it. It was also the beginning of the ‘Divide and Rule’ policy

in India, a horrific yet successful strategy that lasted from 1857 till the

partition and independence of India and Pakistan in 1947.

From reorganizing the army to include only those who did not rebel in the

revolt of 1857 to creating separate electorates for Muslims and Hindus, the

British left no page unturned to divide and rule. There were Muslim

electorates for them to choose Muslim leaders from and similar

electorates for Hindus. They attempted to partition Bengal on the basis of

religious grounds even though India had never had boundaries based on

religions. A united India was a ghost fleeting through history and it ceased

to appear with the partition of 1947.

Use the Source B to attempt following questions:

1. What ignited fear among the colonial rulers in 1857? [4]

2. State any three examples with description, in which British

implemented the divide and rule policy. [6]
