1. Reading Comprehension Passage [Unseen]

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

India was once considered the land of knowledge and enlightenment. In ancient times scholars from

all over Asia and Europe used to flock to Taxila, Nalanda and other Indian centres of learning. Apart

from arts, culture, philosophy and religion, these scholars came to study medicine, law and martial

arts. But despite having a vastly expanded university system and historical advantages, modern India

has yet to provide international or even regional leadership in higher education.

The United States is by far the most successful country in attracting foreign students. But other

countries such as Australia , Canada and Britain also aggressively market their universities abroad

through their education, counselling services and recruitment fairs with the active cooperation of their

diplomatic missions abroad.

Likewise, India should also capitalise on the advantages offered by its higher education institutions,

market Indian universities abroad and facilitate the entry of foreign students into them. The revenue

from foreign students can be used to ease the financial crunch faced by Indian universities, improve

academic facilities and subsidise the cost of education Indian students.

But apart from economic advantages many other benefits would accrue to the nation. India would

gain global and regional influence, goodwill and become a major provider of higher education. Many

Asian and African countries, especially the smaller ones have poorly developed university systems

and would look to Indian universities for the higher education of their youth. At the same time Indian

students will not be deprived, if 10 per cent supernumerary seats are created in universities and

professional colleges for foreign students.

Already professional education in India has proved accessible and affordable for foreign students,

especially from Malaysia, the Middle East and South Africa. In these countries higher education

training facilities are limited. Many NRI families abroad, especially those from English-speaking

industrialised countries are also keen to send their children to study in their motherland and hopefully

to become attuned to their Indian roots in the process.

History

1) Who was Rousseau? Name any one of his famous works.

Answer: Jean Jacques Rousseau was a great French philosopher. In one his famous famous work,

The Social Contract, he forwarded the democratic principle of 'One Individual, One

Vote'. He also proposed a government that was based on a social contract between people

and their representatives.

2) Who was Napoleon Bonaparte?

Answer: Napoleon Bonaparte was a military dictator of France, who became Emperor of France in

1804.

3) What is a "Guillotine"? Who invented it?

Answer: The Guillotine is a device consisting of two poles and a blade with which a person is to

be beheaded. Doctor Guillotin was the person who invented it.

4) Describe the role of the philosophers in the French Revolution

Answer: French philosophers gave ideas on envisaging a society that was based on freedom and

equal laws and opportunities. These were put forward by philosophers, such as John

Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau and Montesquieu.

i) In his Two Treatises of Government, Locke sought to refute the doctrine of the divine

and absolute right of the monarch.

ii) Rousseau carried the idea forward, proposing a form of government based on a social

contract between people and their representatives. He also forwarded the idea of

'Individual Vote'.

iii) In The Spirit of the Laws, Montesquieu proposed a division of power within the

government between the legislative, the executive and the judiciary. This model of

government was put into force in the USA, after the thirteen colonies declared their

independence from Britain.

5) What was the impact of the French Revolution in France?

Answer: The French Revolution was a key event in the history of France:

(1) It marked the end of absolute monarchy and paved the way for a republican

government.

(2) It laid the foundation of several democratic principles, which would pave the way for

establishment of modern democracy.

(3) The French Revolution introduced new reforms in the spheres of education,

administration and the judiciary.

6) Describe the circumstances leading to the outbreak of revolutionary protest in France.

Answer:

The following circumstances led to the outbreak of revolutionary protest in France in 1789

(1) On 5th May 1789, Louis XVI called together an assembly of the Estates General to pass

proposals for new taxes. The first and second estates sent 300 representatives each, who were

seated in rows facing each other on two sides, while the 600 members of the third estate had to

stand at the back. Members of the third estate demanded that voting now be conducted by the

assembly as a whole, where each member would have one vote. When this was rejected, they left

the assembly in protest.

2) On 20th

June, the Third Estate members, who saw themselves as representatives of the entire

nation, assembled in the hall of an indoor tennis court, in the grounds of Versailles, and declared

themselves a National Assembly, swearing not to disperse till they had drafted a Constitution for

France that would limit the powers of the monarch.

3) Simultaneously, the rest of France was in turmoil. A severe winter had meant a bad harvest;

the price of bread rose, often bakers exploited the situation and hoarded supplies. After spending

hours in long queues at the bakery, crowds of angry women stormed into the shops.

4) At the same time, the king ordered troops to move into Paris. On 14th July, the agitated crowd

stormed and destroyed the Bastille. In the countryside, rumours spread in villages that the lords

of the manor had hired bands of brigands who going to destroy the ripe crops. Caught in a frenzy

of fear, peasants in several districts seized hoes and pitchforks and attacked the lords' castles.

They looted hoarded grain and burnt down documents containing records of manorial dues. A

large number of nobles fled from their homes, many of them migrating to neighbouring

countries.

5) Faced with the power of his revolting subjects, Louis XVI finally accorded recognition to the

National Assembly and accepted the principle that his powers would from now on be checked by

a constitution.

7) What steps were taken by the revolutionary government for the improvement of women's condition?

Answer:

During the French Revolution, women in France demanded the Right to Vote, to be elected to

the Assembly and to hold political office. In the early years, the revolutionary government in

France introduced laws that helped to improve the lives of women. Together with the creation of

state schools, schooling was made compulsory for all girls. Their fathers could no longer force

them into marriage against their will. Marriage was made into a contract that was entered into

freely and registered under civil law. Divorce was made legal, and could be applied for by both

women and men. Women could now train for jobs, could become artists or run small businesses.

8) How did Napoleon rise to power as a military dictator?

Answer:

The rise of Napoleon came right after the fall of the Directory in 1796. The Directors often

clashed with the legislative councils, who then made attempts to dismiss them. The Directory

was highly politically unstable. Hence, Napoleon rose to power as a military dictator. After this,

Napoleon crowned himself emperor in 1804 and abolished many dynasties throughout Europe,

replacing them with kingdoms ruled by his family members. He viewed himself as a “moderniser

of Europe” and was initially seen as a liberator who would bring freedom for the people. During

his rule, Napoleon introduced a uniform system of weights and measures, introduced laws to

protect private property, etc. However, his quest for power led to his ultimate downfall as his

armies were viewed as invaders. Napoleon was finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815.

9) Why is the period between 1793 and 1794 referred to as ‘Reign of Terror’?

Answer:

The period from 1793 to 1794 is referred to as the Reign of Terror as, at this time, France was

ruled by Maximilian Robespierre who followed a policy of severe control and punishment.

1) All those whom he considered ‘enemies’ of the republic – ex-nobles and clergy, members of

other political parties, even members of his own party who disagreed with his methods – were

arrested, imprisoned and then tried by a revolutionary tribunal. If the court found them ‘guilty’,

they were guillotined.

2) Robespierre’s government issued laws, which placed a maximum ceiling on wages and prices.

Meat and bread were rationed. Peasants were forced to transport their grain to the cities and sell

it at prices fixed by the government. The use of more expensive white flour was forbidden; all

citizens were required to eat the pain d’égalité (equality bread), a loaf made of wholewheat.

3) Equality was also sought to be practised through forms of speech and address. Instead of the

traditional Monsieur (Sir) and Madame (Madam), all French men and women were henceforth

Citoyen and Citoyenne (Citizen).

4) Churches were shut down and their buildings converted into barracks or offices.

5) Robespierre pursued his policies so relentlessly that even his supporters began to demand

moderation.

10) Discuss the three main social classes in France.

Answer:

1) The French society was divided into three classes, called estates: First Estate, Second Estate and Third Estate.

2) The members of the First and Second estates were the clergy and the nobility

respectively. They enjoyed certain privileges by birth.

3) The Third Estate members comprised merchants, court officials, lawyers, landless

labourers and servants.

CIVICS

1) Name the ruling party in Syria?

Answer: The ruling party in Syria is the 'Arab Socialist Baath Party' and some of its allies

2) What was ‘Legal Framework Order’ issued by General Pervez Musharraf in 2002?

Answer: The order issued by General Pervez Musharraf allowed him to amend the Constitution of Pakistan and to dismiss the national or provincial assemblies.

3) When a government is called democratic?

Answer: When the representatives or the rulers are elected by the people for any government then that government is called a democratic government.

4) When did Zimbabwe gain independence? Which party has ruled since then and who is its leader?

Answer: Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980. The country has been ruled by ZANU-PF, the party that led the freedom struggle. Its leader, Robert Mugabe, has been ruling the country since independence.

5) What is meant by dictatorship?

Answer: Dictatorship is a form of government in which one person possesses absolute power

without effective constitutional checks. Modern dictators use force and fraud to gain power.

6) Democracy leads to better decision than any non-democratic governments. Explain.

Answer: Democracy is based on consultation and discussion. A democratic decision always involves many persons, discussions and meetings. This reduces the chances of rash or reckless decision. Hence, democracy leads to better decision than any non democratic government.

7) What are the demerits of a democratic form of government?

Answer: Democracy is not a solution for all the problems. It has not ended poverty in our

country and in other parts of the world. Democracy as a form of government ensures that

people take their decisions. This does not guarantee that their decisions will be good. People

can make mistakes. Involving the people in these decisions does lead to delays in decision

making. Democracy also leads to frequent changes in leadership. Thus, though democracy is

considered as a better form of government yet it has also certain demerits.

8) ’Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts.’ Comment.

Answer: Democracy provides all the citizens some basic rights through which they can give their suggestions. It also provides to all the citizens to choose their representatives and change if the citizens are not satisfied with their rule. The parliament in a democratic government provides the citizens the right to give their opinions. People have the right to follow their own religion.

9) Why do we need democracy? Give any four merits and demerits of democracy.

Answer: Democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people.

Democracy is essential for the following reasons:

• It creates political awareness among the people and provides opportunities for political

participation at all levels.

• In a democratic form of government, the rulers are answerable to the people. Merits of Democracy The strength and weakness of democracy is that, the fate of the country depends not just on what the rulers do, but also on what we, as citizens, do. This is what distinguished democracy from other governments. 10) What does ‘Rule of Law’ and ‘Respect for Rights’ imply in a democracy?

Answer: Rule of law implies that no person is above law and that no person can be punished by the state, except for a breach of the law, in a manner set forth by the law itself. Respect for rights implies that the government should respect and protect the rights of the citizens as laid down in the constitution. Popular governments can be undemocratic and autocratic leading to democracy. In order to avoid this, the state should respect the basic rights of the citizens. Citizens should be free to think, to have opinions, to form associations, to protest and take other political actions. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of law. These rights must be protected by an independent judiciary whose orders are obeyed by every stratum of the society and government. So a democratic government rules within constitutional limits.

Q.1. State any three advantages of multiple cropping. Ans. Advantages of multiple cropping are (a) Eflicient use of land : Land is not left idle at any time of the year and therefore more Village or in nearby Villages or town. efliciently used in the process of production. (b) Increase of production : It increases the production on a piece of land during the year. (c) Increase in income : Multiple cropping increases the agricultural income of the country as well as for farmers. Q.2 What are the sources of irrigation in Palampur? Ans. Palampur holds a well developed system of irrigation. Due to introduction of electricity irrigation system transformed from Persian Wheels to electric-run tubewells. Initially, the first few tubewells were installed by the government and then by mid of 19703 the entire cultivated area of 200 hectare was irrigated by privately installed tubewells. Q3. What do the scientific reports indicate about the modern farming methods? Mention any three points. Ans. Scientific reports indicate that the modern farming methods has overused the natural resources. 1 Green revolution, due to increased use of chemical fertilisers, has led to loss of soil fertility. 2. Use of ground water with due help of tubewells for irrigation has reduced the level of ground water. 3.Use of chemical fertilisers resulted in loss of soil fertility. Therefore, farmers are forced to use more and more chemical fertilisers to achieve the production levels which in turn raises the cost of production. Q.4. Modern farming methods require the farmers to invest more cash than before. Why? Ans. Yes, modern farming methods like use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilisers, electric tubewell for irrigation require higher investment in farming because they carry higher cost than traditional one. HVY seeds need more water and also chemical fertilisers and pesticides to produce best results. Higher use of chemicals cause environmental degradation also. Q.5What do you mean by Rabi crops and Kharif crops? When are they sown and harvested? Give examples also. Ans. Rabi crops are grown in winter season (between October to December) and harvested in spring season (between mid-late April to mid-late June). Potato, wheat, barley, mustard are Rabi crops. Kharif crops are sown in rainy season (from July to September) and harvested in autumn season. Examples of Kharif crops are jowar and bajra, sugarcane, cotton, red chillies etc. Q.7 What do you mean by Rabi crops and Kharif crops? When are they sown and harvested? Give examples also. Ans. Rabi crops are grown in winter season (between October to December) and harvested in spring season (between mid-late April to mid-late June). Potato, wheat, barley, mustard are Rabi crops. Kharif crops are sown in rainy season (from July to September) and harvested in autumn season. Examples of Kharif crops are jowar and bajra, sugarcane, cotton, red chillies etc. Q3. What do you mean by working capital? How does it affect the day-today activities in farming? Ans. Raw materials and money in hand is known as working capital. Some money is always required during production to make payments and buy other necessary items. Working capital is related with day-to-day activities in farming like use of seeds, pesticides, insecticides, manure, wages oflabour etc. 80 production in farming is high for more working capital. Higher working capital would facilitate more purchase of seeds, fertilisers and wages, so higher yield would be there. Q8. What was the major disadvantage associated with HYV seeds? Explain. Ans. Biggest disadvantage associated with HYV seeds is bigger requirement of water and also chemical

ASUTOSHText BoxECONOMICS

fertilisers and pesticides to produce best results. Higher yields are possible only from combination of HYV seeds, irrigation, chemical fertilisers, pesticides etc. Chemical fertilisers and pesticides degrade our environment killing necessary bacterias in soil. Poor farmers could not afford HYV seeds due to increased requirement of fertilisers and machinery. New machinery replaced manual labour leading to unemployment and rural-urban migration.
