SECTION-D 5 × 2 = 10 11. Read the following case carefully and answer the questions that follow: 4 Nationalism in India Modern nationalism in Europe came to be associated with the formation of nation-states. It also meant a change in people's understanding of who they were and what defined their identity and sense of belonging. New symbols and icons, new songs and ideas forged new links and redefined the boundaries of communities. In most countries the making of this new national identity was a long process. How did this consciousness emerge in India. In India and as in many other colonies, the growth of modern nationalism is intimately connected to the anticolonial movement. People began discovering their unity in the process of their struggle with colonialism. The sense of being oppressed under colonialism provided a shared bond that tied many different groups together. But each class and group felt the effects of colonialism differently, their experiences were varied and their notions of freedom were not always the same. The Congress under Mahatma Gandhi tried to forge these groups together within one movement. But the unity did not emerge without conflict. 11.1 What was people’s understanding of nation? 1 11.2 How was the growth of modern nationalism intimately connected to the anti-colonial movement? 1 11.3 How did people in India develop a sense of collective belonging?

Non-violence is the supreme dharma.’ ‘It is certain that India cannot rival Britain or Europe in force of arms.

(iv) It has great success in setting up regular and free elections. (iv) Democracy's ability to generate its own support is the most positive feature. 1×5=5 Detailed Answer: The importance of Democratic government as an accountable and legitimate government can be understood from the following points: (i) Democracy produces an accountable Government. Accountable government is the one, whose every action is justified. We often find in democratic government that the rulers are elected by the people. A government comes in power due to the majority of the public who have voted for it. The government is apprehensive that the same public may not vote it to power next time if it does not fulfil their expectations. These elected representatives constitute the government and participate in the decisionmaking process on behalf of the people. Also the people (citizens) have the right and means for examining the process. This is known as transparency and is very essential for proper governance in the country. (ii) Democracy produces responsible government. A democracy carries with it certain important liberal ideals of governance. They include, regular free and fair elections, public debate on major policies and legislations, the openness of information regarding major government policies and legislation and corruption free government. All these factors contribute towards making democratic government a responsive form of government. For example, after a prolonged period of mass protest and negotiation, the UPA government had to finally agree to people's demands and introduce the Lokpal Bill in the Parliament. (iii) Democracy produces a legitimate government. Legitimate government is a government under which law and action of the government are revealed to the people and government functions in a transparent manner. (iv) In a Democracy, all the laws are applicable to all the citizens whether rich or poor. (v) In a Democracy, there is a political equality, i.e., every vote count has an equal weightage. (vi) People have the right to challenge the government policies and actions. If the people are not satisfied with the working of the government, they have the right to change it. (Any five points) 5

One such individual was the Italian revolutionary, Giuseppe Mazzini. Born in Genoa in 1807, he became a member of the secret society of the Carbonari. As a young man of 24, he was sent into exile in 1831 for attempting a revolution in Liguria. He subsequently founded two more underground societies, first, Young Italy in Marseilles, and then, Young Europe in Berne, whose members were likeminded young men from Poland, France, Italy and the German states. Mazzini believed that God had intended nations to be the natural units of mankind. So Italy could not continue to be a patchwork of small states and kingdoms. It had to be forged into a single unified republic within a wider alliance of nations. This unification alone could be the basis of Italian liberty.

modernisation could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make state's power more effective and stronger. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe.

The idea of satyagraha emphasised the power of truth and the need to search for truth. In 1916, Gandhi travelled to Champaran in Bihar to inspire the peasants to struggle against the oppressive plantation system.

Key Words Satyagraha: The policy of passive political resistance was inaugurated by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi during his stay in South Africa. It is based on the ideals of truth and non-violence.

The method of satyagraha was based on the idea that if someone is fighting for a true cause, there is no need to use any physical force to fight the oppressor. Gandhiji believed that a satyagrahi could win a battle through non-violence, i.e., without being aggressive or revengeful.

Rowlatt Act: It was an Act which gave the British

government enormous power to repress political activities. It allowed that government could arrest anybody without a trial for two years.

A Khilafat Committee was formed in Bombay in March 1919 to defend the Khalifa. This committee had leaders like the brothers Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali.

At the Calcutta session of the Congress in September 1920, the resolution was passed to launch a NonCooperation Movement in support of Khilafat and also for swaraj. Non-Cooperation Movement: In his famous book Hind Swaraj (1909), Mahatma Gandhi declared that British rule was established in India with the cooperation of Indians and had survived only because of this cooperation. If Indians refused to cooperate, British rule in India would collapse within a year and swaraj would be established. Gandhiji believed that if Indians begin to refuse to cooperate, the British rulers will have no other way than to leave India. Some of the proposals of the Non-Cooperation:  Surrender the titles which were awarded by the British Government.  Boycott of Civil Services, Army, Police, Courts, Legislative Councils and Schools.  Boycott of foreign goods.

Many rebels from the tribal areas became nonviolent and often carried guerrilla warfare against the British Officials.

Swaraj in the Plantations: The plantation workers were not permitted to leave the tea gardens without permission; as per the Indian Emigration Act

of 1859. When the news of Non-Cooperation Movement spread to the plantations, many workers began to defy the authorities. They left plantations and headed towards their homes. But they got stranded on the way because of a railway and steamer strike. They were caught by the Police and brutally beaten up.

A OR Explain the impact of Jallianwala Bagh incident on the people. A OR Describe the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the aftermath. Which basic human rights did the British violate? A

The

British

Government constituted a Statutory Commission under Sir John Simon. The Commission was made to look into the functioning of the constitutional system in India and suggest changes. But since all the members in the Commission were British, the Indian leaders opposed the Commission.

Key Words Statutory Commission/Simon Commission: It was group of seven Members of Parliament under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon who has arrived in British India in 1928 to study constitutional reform in Britain's largest and most important possession. Dominion status: It meant giving a semi autonomous status to India and not full independence where India would still accept the British sovereignty and the British monarch as the head of the state.

Key Words Salt Law: Salt is consumed by both the poor and the rich, and is one of the most essential items of foods everywhere in the world. The British Government had a monopoly on the production of salt in India. By imposing a ‘salt tax’ the Government hit both the rich and the poor, especially the poor. Gandhiji thought it was the most repressive Act of the British Government and chose to defy it by breaking the “Salt Law”. Salt March or Dandi March: It was an act of civil disobedience led by Mohandas Gandhi to protest British rule in India. Gandhi-Irwin Pact: It was a political agreement signed by Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, on 5 March, 1931, before the Second Round Table Conference in London.

The Simon Commission arrived in India in 1928. It was greeted with the slogan ‘Go back, Simon’. All parties joined the protest. In October 1929, Lord Irwin announced a vague offer of ‘Dominion Status’ for India but its timing was not specified. He also offered to hold a Round Table Conference to discuss the future Constitution.

Salt March (Beginning of Civil Disobedience



The Salt March or Dandi March was started by Gandhiji on 12th March, 1930. He was accompanied by 78 volunteers. They walked for 24 days to cover a distance of 240 miles from Sabarmati to Dandi. Many more joined them on the way. On 6th April, 1930, Gandhiji ceremonially violated the law by taking a fistful of salt.

Key Personalities Sir John Simon: He was a political leader who was sent to British India to head the Simon Commission. Lord Irwin : He was a senior British Conservative politician of the 1930s and the Viceroy of British India from 3 April 1926 – 18 April 1931.

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: He is the father of the Indian Constitution, was an ambitious leader, journalist, economist and social reformer who fought for discrimination against the untouchables.



Mahatma Gandhi believed that salt could be a powerful symbol to unite the whole nation. Most of the people; including the British scoffed at the idea. Abolition of the Salt Tax was among many demands which were raised by Gandhiji through a letter to Viceroy Irwin.

Response of British Rulers: The Colonial Government began to arrest the Congress leaders. This led to violent clashes in many places. Mahatma Gandhi was arrested about a month later. People began to attack the symbols of British rule; such as Police posts, municipal buildings, law courts and railway stations. The Government’s repression was quite brutal. Even women and children were beaten up. About 100,000 people were arrested. Round Table Conference: When things began to take a violent turn, Mahatma Gandhi called-off the movement. He signed a pact with Irwin on 5th March, 1931. This was called the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. As per the Pact, Gandhiji agreed to participate in the Round Table Conference in London. In lieu of that, the government agreed to release the political prisoners. Gandhiji went to London in December 1931. The negotiations broke down and Gandhiji had to return with disappointment. When Gandhiji came back to India, he found that most of the leaders were put in jail. Congress had been declared illegal. Many measures were taken to prevent meetings, demonstrations and boycotts. Mahatma Gandhi relaunched the Civil Disobedience Movement. By 1934, the movement had lost its momentum. Farmers: For the farmers, the fight for Swaraj was a struggle against high revenues. When the Movement was called off in 1931; without the revenue rates being revised; the farmers were highly disappointed. Many of them refused to participate when the Movement was relaunched in 1932. The small tenants just wanted the unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted. They often joined the Radical Movements which were led by Socialists and Communists. Congress did not want to alienate the rich landlords and hence, the relationship between the poor peasants and Congress was uncertain. Businessmen: The Indian merchants and industrialists could grow their Business during the First World War. They were against those colonial policies which restricted their business activities. They wanted protection against imports and a Rupee-Sterling Foreign Exchange ratio which would discourage imports. The Indian Industrial and Commercial Congress was formed in 1920 and the Federation of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FICCI) was formed in 1927. These were the results of attempts to bring the common business interests on a common platform. For the Businessmen, Swaraj meant an end to oppressive colonial policies. They wanted an environment which could allow the Business to flourish. They were apprehensive of militant activities and of growing influence of Socialism among the younger members of the Congress.

Congress was reluctant to give any position of authority to women within the organisation. The Congress was just keen on the symbolic presence of women.



Industrial Workers: The Industrial workers showed a lukewarm response to the Civil Disobedience Movement. Since, industrialists were closer to the Congress, workers kept a distance from the Movement. But some workers selectively participated in the Movement. Congress did not want to alienate the Industrialists and hence, preferred to keep the workers’ demands at bay. Depressed Classes: Dr. B. R. Ambedkar demands for separate electorates for dalits. This made a clash between Gandhiji and Ambedkar. When British accepted their demand, Gandhiji began a fast unto death as he believed that it would slow down the process of their integration into society. As a result Ambedkar and Gandhiji signed an agreement known as Poona pact of September 1932 in which dalits got reservation in Provincial and Central Legislative councils.

Key Dates 1931: Second Round Table Conference; GandhiIrwin Pact; Census of India.

When the movement was called off in 1931; without the revenue rates being revised; the farmers were highly disappointed. In some parts of the country, they launched ‘no rent’ campaign which was not supported by the congress because this might upset the rich peasant and the landlords. Many of them refused to participate when the movement was re-launched in 1932. These poor peasants joined a variety of radical movements, often led by socialists and communists. 3

Q. 7. What were the limitations of the Civil Disobedience Movement? Elaborate. R [Board Term-II, 2016] Ans. Limitations of Civil Disobedience Movement: (i) Dalit participation was limited. They began organising themselves, demanding reserved seats in educational institutions, and a separate electorate. Dr B. R. Ambedkar, who organised the Dalits into the Depressed Classes Association in 1930, clashed with Mahatma Gandhi at the Second Round Table Conference by demanding separate electorates for Dalits. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar ultimately accepted Gandhiji’s proposal and the result was the Poona Pact of September 1932. (ii) Muslim political groups were also lukewarm in their response to the Civil Disobedience Movement. After the decline of the Non-Cooperation-Khilafat Movement, large section of Muslims felt alienated from the Congress. When the Civil Disobedience Movement started, there was a sudden atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between communities. Alienated from the Congress, large sections of Muslims could not respond to the call for a united struggle. Many Muslim leaders and intellectuals expressed their concern about the status of Muslims as a minority within India. They feared that the culture and identity of minorities would be submerged under the domination of Hindu majority. 2½ + 2½ = 5 Q. 8.

Collective responsibility means that people began to believe that they were all a part of the same nation and discovered some unity, which bound them together. Examples of main cultural processes: (a) Figures or Images: These helped in creating an image with which people could identify the nation. Devotion to this mother figure came to be seen as evidence of one's nationalism. It was with the growth of nationalism, that the identity of India was associated with the Image of Bharat Mata. This Image was firstly created by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, who wrote the song 'Vande Mataram' in his novel Anandamath. Then Abanindranath Tagore painted the famous image of Bharat Mata. He was greatly inspired by the Swadeshi Movement. (b) Movement to Revive Folklore: In the late 19th century, in India, Nationalists started recording folk tales sung by bards and they toured the villages to gather folk songs and legends. In Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore himself began collecting ballads, nursery rhymes and myths and led the Movement for folk revival. In Madras, Natesa Sastri published a massive four-volume collection of Tamil folk tales, “The Folklore of Southern India”.

It was also a tricolour (red, green and white) and had a spinning wheel in the centre – representing the Gandhian ideals of self-help. (d) Reinterpretation of History: Many Indians started looking at the past to discover India’s great achievements. They wrote about the glorious developments in ancient times. This glorious time, in their belief, was followed by a history of decline, when India was colonized. These Nationalists urged the readers to take pride in India’s great achievements in the past and struggle to change the miserable condition of the life of Indians under the British rule.

Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 the questions: U In the countryside, rich peasant communities – like the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats of Uttar Pradesh – were active in the movement. Being producers of commercial crops, they were very hard hit by the trade depression and falling prices. As their cash income disappeared, they found it impossible to pay the government’s revenue demand. And the refusal of the government to reduce the revenue demand led to widespread resentment. These rich peasants became enthusiastic supporters of the Civil Disobedience Movement, organising their communities and at times forcing reluctant members, to participate in the boycott programmes. For them the fight for Swaraj was a struggle against high revenues. But they were deeply disappointed when the movement was called off in 1931 without the revenue rates being revised. So, when the movement was restarted in 1932, many of them refused to participate. The poorer peasantry were not just interested in the lowering of the revenue demand. Many of them were small tenants cultivating land they had rented from landlords. As the Depression continued and cash incomes dwindled, the small tenants found it difficult to pay their rent. They wanted the unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted. They joined a variety of radical movements, often led by Socialists and Communists. Apprehensive of raising issues that might upset the rich peasants and landlords, the Congress was unwilling to support ‘no rent’ campaigns in most places. So, the relationship between the poor peasants and the Congress remained uncertain. Q. 1. Patidars and Jats are rich Peasants of which State? (A) Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh

boycotted, liquor shops picketed and foreign cloth burnt in huge bonfires. The import of foreign cloth halved between 1921 and 1922, its value dropping from ` 102 crore to ` 57 crore. In many places merchants and traders refused to trade in foreign goods or finance foreign trade. As the boycott movement spread, and people began discarding imported clothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of Indian Textile Mills and handlooms went up. But this Movement in the cities gradually slowed down for a variety of reasons. Khadi cloth was often more expensive than mass produced mill cloth and poor people could not afford to buy it. How then could they boycott mill cloth for too long? Similarly, the boycott of British institutions posed a problem. For the movement to be successful, alternative Indian institutions had to be set up so that they could be used in place of the British ones. These were slow to come up. So students and teachers began trickling back to government schools and lawyers joined back work in Government Courts.

Q. 6. Who tried to channelize people’s grievances into organized movements for independence? IV. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 the questions: E Quiet India Movement The failure of the Cripps Mission and the effects of World War II created widespread discontentment in India. This led Gandhiji to launch a movement calling for complete withdrawal of the British from India. The Congress Working Committee, in its meeting in Wardha on 14 July, 1942, passed the historic ‘Quit India’ resolution demanding the immediate transfer of power to Indians and quit India. On 8 August, 1942, in Bombay, the All India Congress Committee endorsed the resolution which called for a non-violent mass struggle on the widest possible scale throughout the country. It was on this occasion that Gandhiji delivered the famous ‘Do or Die’ speech. The call of ‘Quit India’ almost brought the state machinery to a standstill in large parts of the country as people voluntarily threw themselves into the thick of the movement. People observed hartals, and demonstrations and processions were accompanied by national songs and slogans. The movement was truly a mass movement which brought into its ambit thousands of ordinary people, namely students, workers and peasants. It also saw the active participation of leaders, namely, Jayprakash Narayan, Aruna Asaf Ali and Ram Manohar Lohia and many women such as Matangini Hazra in Bengal, Kanaklata Barua in Assam and Rama Devi in Odisha. The British responded with much force, yet it took more than a year to suppress the movement. Q. 1. What factors led Gandhi to launch Quit India Movement? Ans.

Case Based Subjective Questions

A growing anger against the colonial government was thus bringing together various groups and classes of Indians into a common struggle for freedom in the first half of the twentieth century. The Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi tried to channel people’s grievances into organized movements for independence. Through such movements the nationalists tried to forge a national unity. But as we have seen, diverse groups and classes participated in these movements with varied aspirations and expectations. As their grievances were wide-ranging, freedom from colonial rule also meant different things to different people. The Congress continuously attempted to resolve differences, and ensure that the demands of one group did not alienate another. This is precisely why the unity within the movement often broke down.

Globalisation: It is generally associated with the economy as the free movement of capital, goods, technology, ideas and people across the globe. Globalisation in a broader sense also includes cultural exchanges between different countries of the world. Silk Route: The route taken by traders to carry silk cargoes from China to the West, which affected the cultures of China, Central Asia and the West.

The name ‘Silk Routes’ points to the importance of West-bound Chinese silk cargoes along this route. Trade and cultural exchange always went hand in hand.

Europe’s poor began to eat better and live longer with the introduction of the humble potato. World Trade Pre Ireland’s poorest peasants modern to 18th Century became so dependent on potatoes that when disease destroyed the potato crop in the mid-1840s, hundreds of thousands died of starvation. European sailors found a sea route to Asia and also successfully crossed the western ocean to America.

Due to increase in population from the late 18th century, the demand for food grains in Britain had increased.

The flow of trade: The import of various finished goods and agricultural crops such as silk, cotton, woolen clothes, tomatoes, potatoes etc. The movement of labour: The transfer of capital between countries, either by companies or individuals. Colonisation: It occurs when one nation subjugates another, conquering its population and exploiting it, often while forcing its own language and cultural values upon its people. Colonial Powers: A country which possesses, or formerly possessed, colonies in different parts of the world. Cattle Plague or Rinderpest: It was a disease caused by the rinderpest virus which primarily infected cattle and buffalo.

Due to their long isolation, America’s original inhabitants had no immunity against these diseases that came from Europe. Smallpox, in particular proved to be fatal. Until the 19th century, poverty and hunger were common in Europe. Cities were crowded and deadly diseases were widespread. In the 18th century, China and India were among the world’s richest countries. They were also pre-eminent in Asian trade. However, from the 15th century, China is said to have restricted overseas contacts and retreated into isolation. China’s reduced role and the rising importance of the America gradually moved the centre of world trade Westwards. Europe now emerged as the centre of world trade.

Precious metals, particularly silver, from mines located in present-day Peru and Mexico also enhanced Europe’s wealth and financed its trade with Asia. The Portuguese and Spanish conquest and colonisation of America was decisively underway by the mid-sixteenth century. The most powerful weapon of the Spanish conquerors were the germs such as those of smallpox that they carried on their person.

Since, there was pressure from landed groups, the government also restricted the import of corn. The laws allowing the government to do this were commonly known as the ‘Corn Laws’. Railways were needed to link the agricultural regions to the ports. New harbours had to be built and people had to settle on the lands which meant building homes and settlements. All these activities in turn required capital and labour. Capital flowed from financial centres such as London. The demand for labour in places where labour was in short supply—as in America and Australia-led to more migration. By 1890, a global agricultural economy had taken shape. The British Indian Government built a network of irrigation canals to transform semi-desert wastes into fertile agricultural lands that could grow wheat and cotton for export. The railways, steamships, the telegraph were important inventions without which we cannot imagine the transformed nineteenth-century world.

Colonisation stimulated new investments and improvements in transport. The trade in meat offers a good example of this connected process. Till the 1870s, animals were shipped live from America to Europe and then slaughtered when they arrived there.

Indian traders and moneylenders also followed European colonisers into Africa. With the advent of industrialisation, British cotton manufacture began to expand, and industrialists pressurised the government to restrict cotton imports and protect local industries. Tariffs were imposed on cloth imports into Britain. Consequently, the inflow of fine Indian cotton began to decline. Indigo used for dyeing cloth was another important export for many decades. British manufactures flooded the Indian market. The value of British exports to India was much higher than the value of British imports from India. Thus, Britain had a ‘Trade Surplus’ with India. Britain used this surplus to balance its trade deficits with other countries – that is, with countries from which Britain was importing more than it was selling to.

In the 1880s, a fast-spreading disease of Cattle Plague or Rinderpest had a terrifying impact on the African local economy. It was carried by infected cattle imported from British Asia to feed the Italian soldiers invading Eritrea in East Africa. Entering Africa in the East, Rinderpest moved west ‘like forest fire’. The loss of cattle destroyed African livelihoods. In the late 19th century, Europeans were attracted to Africa due to its vast resources of land and minerals. But there was a shortage of labour willing to work for wages. Employers used many methods to recruit and retain labour. Heavy taxes were imposed which could be paid only by working for wages on plantations and mines. In the 19th century, hundreds of thousands of Indian and Chinese labourers went to work on plantations, in mines, and in road and railway construction projects around the world.

One important feature of the US economy of the 1920s was mass production. A well-known pioneer of mass production was the car manufacturer Henry Ford. The T-Model Ford was the world’s first massproduced car. Mass production lowered costs and prices of engineered goods and there was an increase in the purchase of refrigerators, washing machines, radios, gramophone players, all through a system of ‘hire purchase’. Large investments in housing and household goods seemed to create a cycle of higher employment and incomes, rising consumption demand, more investment, and yet more employment and incomes. By 1929 the world plunged into a depression called -The Great Depression of 1929. During this period most parts of the world experienced catastrophic declines in production, employment, incomes and trade. The depression was caused by a combination of several facts of agricultural overproduction. Many countries financed their investments through loans from the US. The withdrawal of the US loans affected much of the rest of the world. With the fall in prices and the prospect of a depression, the US Banks had also slashed domestic lending and called back loans. The Great Depression’s wider effects on society, politics and international relations, and on peoples’ minds, proved more enduring. Since Colonial India had become an exporter of agricultural goods and importer of manufactures, the depression immediately affected Indian trade. Peasants and farmers suffered more than urban dwellers though agricultural prices fell sharply, the colonial Government refused to reduce revenue demands.

Most developing countries did not benefit from the fast growth that the Western economies experienced in the 1950s and 1960s therefore, they organized themselves as a group—the Group of 77 (or G-77)—to demand a New International Economic Order (NIEO).

Economists and politicians drew two key lessons from Inter-war economic experiences:

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) to deal with external surpluses and deficits of its member nations.







Key Word

The war caused an immense amount of economic devastation and social disruption.

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (popularly known as the World Bank) was set up to finance postwar reconstruction.







The IMF and the World Bank were designed to meet the financial needs of the industrial countries.

The Second World War broke out merely after two decades of the First World War and brought enormous death and destruction. It was fought between the Axis powers (mainly Nazi Germany, Japan and Italy) and the Allies (Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the US).

There were two impacts that influenced post-war reconstruction the first was the US’s emergence as the dominant economic, political and military power in the Western world and the second was the dominance of the Soviet Union.





The post-war international economic system is also often described as the Bretton Woods System which inaugurated an era of unprecedented growth of trade and incomes for the Western industrial nations and Japan.



The industrial world was hit by unemployment that began rising from the mid-1970s and remained high until the early 1990s.



From the late 1970s MNCs also began to shift production operations to low-wage Asian countries, China being one of them.



China became an attractive destination for investment by foreign MNCs, competing to capture world markets.



The Relocation of industries to low-wage countries stimulated world trade and capital flows.

I. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out U of 6 questions : The Silk Routes are a good example of vibrant pre-modern trade and cultural links between distant parts of the world. The name 'silk routes' points to the importance of West-bound Chinese silk cargoes along this route. Historians have identified several silk routes, over land and by sea, knitting together vast regions of Asia, and linking Asia with Europe and northern Africa. They are known to have existed since before the Christian Era and thrived almost till the fifteenth century. But Chinese pottery also travelled the same route, as did textiles and spices from India and Southeast Asia. In return, precious metals – gold and silver – flowed from Europe to Asia. Trade and cultural exchange always went hand in hand. Early Christian missionaries almost certainly travelled this route to Asia, as did early Muslim preachers a few centuries later. Much before all this, Buddhism emerged from eastern India and spread in several directions through intersecting points on the silk routes. Q. 1.

(1 × 5) III. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out U of 6 questions : What was the role of technology in all this? The railways, steamships, the telegraph, for example, were important inventions without which we cannot imagine the transformed nineteenth century world. But technological advances were often the result of larger social, political and economic factors. For example, colonization stimulated new investments and improvements in transport faster railways, lighter wagons and larger ships helped move food more cheaply and quickly from faraway farms to final markets. The trade in meat offers a good example of this connected process. Till the 1870s, animals were shipped live from America to Europe and then slaughtered when they arrived there. But live animals took up a lot of ship space. Many also died in voyage, fell ill, lost weight or became unfit to eat. Meat was hence, an expensive luxury beyond the reach of the European poor. High prices in turn kept demand and production down until the development of a new technology, namely, refrigerated ships, which enabled the transport of perishable foods over long distances. Now animals were slaughtered for food at the starting point – in America, Australia or New Zealand – and then transported to Europe as frozen meat. This reduced shipping costs and lowered meat prices in Europe. The poor in Europe could now consume a more varied diet. To the earlier monotony of bread and potatoes many, though not all, could now add meat (and butter and eggs) to their diet. Better living condition promoted social peace within the country and support for imperialism abroad. Q. 1. Name any two inventions which transformed the 19th century world. Ans.

(C) Thousands of men and women were thrown out of work. (D) All of the Above Ans. Option (D) is correct



restricted the import of corn. The laws allowing the government to do this were commonly known as the 'Corn Laws'. Unhappy with high food prices, industrialists and urban dwellers forced the abolition of the Corn Laws. After the Corn Laws were scrapped, food could be imported into Britain more cheaply than it could be produced within the country. British agriculture was unable to compete with imports. Vast areas of land were now left uncultivated, and thousands of men and women were thrown out of work. They flocked to the cities or migrated overseas. As food prices fell, consumption in Britain rose. From the mid nineteenth century, faster industrial growth in Britain also led to higher incomes, and therefore more food imports. Around the world in Eastern Europe, Russia, America and Australialands were cleared and food production expanded to meet the British demand. It was not enough merely to clear lands for agriculture. Railways were needed to link the agricultural regions to the ports. New harbours had to be built and old ones expanded to ship the new cargoes. People had to settle on the lands to bring them under cultivation. This meant building homes and settlements. All these activities in turn required capital and labour. Capital flowed from financial centres such as London. The demand for labour in places where labour was in short supply—as in America and Australia—led to more migration. Nearly 50 million people emigrated from Europe to America and Australia in the nineteenth century. All over the world some 150 million are estimated to have left their homes, crossed oceans and vast distances over land in search of a better future. Q. 1. In eighteenth century the demand for food grains increased in Britain due to: (A) Less production (B) Population growth (C) Crop failure (D) Ancient techniques Q. 2.

Industrialization: It is the process by which an economy is transformed from primarily agricultural to one based on the manufacturing of goods . Industrial Revolution: The revolution that replaced the cottage industry by the factories. Bourgeoisie : It refers to the social order that is dominated by the so-called middle class. Spinning Jenny: This machine was invented by James Hargreaves in 1764. It speeded up the spinning process and reduced labour demand . The East India Company: It was an English, and later British, a joint-stock company founded in 1600. It was formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region, initially with the East Indies, and later with East Asia. Gomasthas: They were the paid servants who were appointed by the East India Company to supervise weavers, collect supplies and examine the quality of cloth.

The process of industrialization was rapid. It is evident due to the following reasons:  Cotton was the leading sector in the first phase of industrialization. Textile was a dynamic sector.  Ordinary and small innovations were the basis  of growth in many non-mechanised sectors such as food processing, building, pottery, glasswork, tanning, furniture making and production of implements.  Technological changes occurred slowly. They did not spread dramatically across the industrial landscape. Hand Labour and Stream Power:

After the Industrial Revolution, the new machines and steam power were used in place of animal and manual power for producing the things. The revolution replaced the cottage Industry by factories.

Seasonality of work in many industries meant prolonged periods without work. The fear of unemployment made workers hostile to the introduction of new technology. When the Spinning Jenny was introduced in the woollen industry, women who survived on hand spinning began attacking the new machines.

1730s: The earliest factories in England came up. 1764: James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny . 1780s: Rapid industrialization first began in Britain, starting with mechanized spinning.

By the 1750s, the Indian merchants lost their control on exports and the European companies gradually gained power in two ways: By securing a variety of concessions from Local  Courts. Through the Monopoly Rights to trade.  The trading ports of Surat and Hooghly declined and Bombay and Calcutta emerged as new ports which indicated the growth of colonial power.

The industrial workers were known as factory workers.

A variety of Indian merchants and bankers were involved in the network of export trade – financing production, carrying goods and supplying exporters.





Growing at a rapid pace, cotton was the leading sector in the first phase of industrialization up to the 1840s.

Silk and cotton goods from India dominated the international market in textiles much before the advent of machine industries.



Richard Arkwright created the cotton mill. Cotton and metal were the most dynamic industries in Britain.





The abundance of labour in the market affected the lives of workers.

Key Dates

Richard Arkwright: He was a well known British inventor and entrepreneur during the period of the Industrial revolution. He was famous for the development of the spinning frame.



In countries with labour shortage, industrialists were keen on using mechanical power so that the need for human labour can be minimised.

The earliest factories in England were set up by 1730s.

Key Personality



During this period, the upper classes – the aristocrats and the bourgeoisie – preferred things produced by hand.













This Proto-industrial system was controlled by merchants and the goods were produced by a vast number of producers working within their family farms, not in factories. Coming up of the Factories:

In Victorian Britain, there was no shortage of human labour.

THE AGE OF INDUSTRIALIZATION

Key Dates





1854:The first cotton mill was set up in Bombay. 1855: The first jute mill was established in Bengal. 1856: The first cotton mill in Bombay started production.



With the expansion of factories, the demand for workers increased. Peasants and artisans, who found no work in the village, went to the industrial centres in search of work. Getting jobs was always difficult so the industrialists usually employed a jobber to get new recruits.

Key Personalities

The industrialists also persuaded the East India Company to sell British manufactured goods in Indian markets as well. Cotton weavers in India faced two problems at the same time :  Their export market collapsed.  The local market shrank due to Manchester imports. When the Civil War broke out, cotton supplies were cut off from the US and thus Britain turned towards India.

The European merchant-industrialists had their own Chambers of Commerce which Indian businessmen were not allowed to join.

Dwarkanath Tagore: He was an industrialist. In Bengal, he made his fortune in the China trade before he turned to industrial investment, setting up six joint-stock companies in the 1830s and 1840s.

















To eliminate the existing traders and brokers connected with the cloth trade, to develop a system of management and control that would eliminate competition, control costs, and ensure regular supplies of cotton and silk goods, the East India Company took two steps: They appointed a paid servant called the  gomastha to supervise weavers, collect supplies, and examine the quality of cloth. It prevented Company weavers from dealing  with other buyers by making it compulsory for those who took loans that they had to handover the cloth they produced to the gomastha. Due to the development of cotton industries in England, the industrial groups worried about the imports from the other countries and thus pressurised the government to impose import duties on cotton textiles.

India by accumulating their wealth partly from exports to China and partly from raw cotton shipments to England.







India Company first established political power so that it could assert a monopoly right to trade.

73

The raw cotton exports from India increased which led to the inflation. It affected the weavers who were starved of supplies and were forced to buy raw cotton at exorbitant prices.

Industrialization in India







The first cotton mill in Bombay came up in 1854 and it went into production two years later.

Jobber: A person employed by the industrialists to get new recruits for the mills.

Industrialisation in the colonies

From the late eighteenth century, the British in India began exporting opium to China and took tea from China to England. In Bengal, Dwarkanath Tagore made his fortune in the China trade before he turned to industrial investment, setting up six joint-stock companies in the 1830s and 1840s. In Bombay, Parsis like Dinshaw Petit and Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata built huge industrial empires in

European Managing Agencies established tea and coffee plantations, acquired land at cheap rates from the Colonial Government; and they invested in mining, indigo and jute.

Key Word



In north India, the Elgin Mill was started in Kanpur in the 1860s, and a year later the First Cotton Mill of Ahmedabad was set up.

Around the same time jute mills came up in Bengal, the first was set up in 1855.











Age of Indian Textiles:

A jobber was an old and trusted worker. He got people from his village, ensured them jobs, helped them settle in the city and provided them with money in times of crisis. The jobber therefore, became a person with some authority and power. The peculiarities of Industrial Growth:











Dinshaw Petit and Jamshed jee Tata: They both were Parsis and industrialists who built their huge industrial empire in Bombay.

As the Swadeshi Movement gathered momentum, nationalists mobilised people to boycott foreign cloth. Industrial groups organised themselves to protect their collective interests, pressurising the Government to increase tariff protection and grant other concessions. During the First World War, British mills became busy in the production of uniforms for the army and thus, suddenly India had a big market to supply. Due to the prolonged war, Indian factories were called upon to supply war needs: jute bags, cloth for army Uniforms, tents and leather boots, horse and mule saddles and a host of other items.

Unable to modernise and compete with the US, Germany and Japan, the economy of Britain crumbled after the War.

Key Word Fly Shuttle: It is a mechanical device used for weaving, moved by means of ropes and pulleys. It places the horizontal threads (called the weft) into the vertical threads (called the warp).

Where the large industries were dominant in Bombay and Bengal, small scale industries were also growing up over the rest of the country. Due to technological changes, the weavers started using looms with a fly shuttle which increased productivity per worker, speeded up production and reduced labour demand.



To market the cloth manufactured by the British in the Indian market, the Manchester industrialists used labels like ‘Made in Manchester’.

Ans. Series of changes affected the pattern of Industrialisation in India by the early twentieth century.













Ans. Proto-industrialisation refers to the system of industries that existed in Europe before the arrival of modern machine run factories. Large scale industrial production took place for an international market. It was based in the countryside, not in factories. Effects: (i) Open fields were disappearing and commons were being enclosed so common people had no alternative sources of income. (ii) Many had small plots of land which could not provide work for all family members. (iii) Merchants offered them advances for which they agreed. (iv) They got a source of income which supplemented their shrinking income from cultivation. 1+4=5 (CBSE Marking Scheme, 2016)

79

(ii) From 1906, export of Indian yarn to China declined. So, Indian industrialists shifted their interest from Yarn to cloth production, leading to considerable production of Cotton piece-goods. (iii) The beginning of the First World War created a new situation. Since, British mills were busy producing war materials to meet their own war needs, the export goods to India declined. This allowed to Indian industries to thrive. Indian mills now had a vast home market to supply. (iv) As the war continued, Indian factories were called upon to supply war needs, such as jute bags, cloth for army uniforms, tents, leather boots, horse and mule saddles, etc. New factories were set up and old factories ran double shifts. (v) After the war, industries in Britain got a severe setback. In India, however, local industrialists gradually consolidated their position substituting foreign manufactures and capturing the home. Handicrafts production also expanded in the 20th century.

Consider the case of the Steam Engine. James Watt improved the Steam Engine produced by Newcomen and patented the new engine in 1781. His industrialist friend Matthew Boulton manufactured the new model. But for years he could find no buyers. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there were no more than 321 steam engines all over England. Of these, 80 were in cotton industries, nine in wool industries and the rest in mining, canal works and ironworks. Steam engines were not used in any of the other industries till much later in the century. So, even the most powerful new technology that enhanced the productivity of labour manifold was slow to be accepted by industrialists.

Case Based Subjective Questions



Q. 1. _______ were standardized products, which were produced for a mass market.









A range of products could be produced only with hand labour. Machines were oriented to produce uniforms, standardised goods with intricate designs and specific shapes. In mid-nineteenth century Britain, for instance, 500 varieties of hammers were produced along with 45 kinds of axes. These required human skill and not mechanical technology. In Victorian Britain, the upper classes – the Aristocrats and the Bourgeoisie – preferred things produced by hand. Handmade products came to symbolise refinement and class. They were better finished, individually produced and carefully designed. Machine made goods were for export to the Colonies. In countries with labour shortage, industrialists were keen on using mechanical power so that the need for human labour can be minimised. This was the case in nineteenth-century America. Britain, however, had no problem hiring human hands.

THE AGE OF INDUSTRIALIZATION















The abundance of labour in the market affected the lives of workers. As news of possible jobs travelled to the countryside, hundreds tramped to the cities. The actual possibility of getting a job depended on existing networks of friendship and kin relations. If you had a relative or a friend in a factory, you were more likely to get a job quickly. But not everyone had social connections. Many job-seekers had to wait weeks, spending nights under bridges or in night shelters. Some stayed in Night Refuges that were set up by private individuals; others went

Q. 1. Name one factor that affected the lives of the workers.







Before the age of Machine Industries, silk and cotton goods from India dominated the international market in textiles. Coarser cotton was produced in many countries, but the finer varieties often came from India. Armenian and Persian merchants took the goods from Punjab to Afghanistan, Eastern Persia and Central Asia. Bales of fine textiles were carried on camel back via the north west frontier, through mountain passes and across deserts. A vibrant sea trade operated through the main pre-colonial ports.

Q. 6. What do you understand by seasonal work? Ans. Seasonal work is temporary employment that reoccurs around the same time every year.



Ans. After the busy seasons were over, the poor were on the streets again. Some returned to the countryside in winters while others looked for odd jobs.

Q. 4. How was the trade carried?



Q. 5. What happened after the busy seasons were over?





Ans. Seasonality of work in many industries meant prolonged periods without work.

Ans. Trade was either carried on camel back or through sea routes.





Q. 4. How did the seasonality of work in many industries affect the job seekers?

Q. 5. What was the role of the supply merchants?



Ans. Actual possibility of getting a job depended on existing networks of friendship and kin relations. Many job seekers had to wait for weeks, spending nights under bridges or in night shelters.

Ans. The supply merchants linked the port towns to the inland regions.



Q. 3. Was it easy for the workers to get the job in the cities?

Q. 6. Why did the trade network controlled by the Indian merchants break down by 1750s?



Ans. As the news of the possible jobs travelled to the countryside hundreds of labourers tramped to the cities.

A variety of Indian merchants and bankers were involved in the network of export trade – financing production, carrying goods and supplying exporters. Supply merchants linked the port towns to the inland regions. They gave advances to weavers, procured the woven cloth from weaving villages, and carried the supply to the ports. At the port, the big shippers and export merchants had brokers who negotiated the price and bought goods from the supply merchants operating inland.

By the 1750s this network, controlled by Indian merchants, was breaking down. The European companies gradually gained power—first securing a variety of concessions from local courts, then the monopoly rights to trade. This resulted in a decline of the old ports of Surat and Hoogly through which local merchants had operated. Exports from these ports fell dramatically, the credit that had financed the earlier trade began drying up, and the local bankers slowly went bankrupt. In the last years of the seventeenth century, the gross value of trade that passed through Surat had been Rs. 16 million. By the 1740's it had slumped to Rs 3 million. Q. 1. Which Indian goods dominated the international markets in textile before the age of machine industries? Ans. Before the age of machine industries, silk and cotton goods from India dominated the international markets. Q. 2. What kind of cotton was produced in India? Ans. The finer varieties of cotton were produced in India. Q. 3. Name any one place from where the Armenian and Persian merchants took the goods. Ans. The Armenian and Persian merchants took the goods from Punjab .

Ans. The trade network was breaking down because the European companies were gaining power. They had secured monopoly rights to trade.





Q. 2. What happened when the news of the possible jobs travelled to the countryside?





Ans. Abundance of labour in the market affected the lives of the workers.











Seasonality of work in many industries meant prolonged periods without work. After the busy season was over, the poor were on the streets again. Some returned to the countryside after the winter, when the demand for labour in the rural areas opened up in places. But most looked for odd jobs, which till the mid-nineteenth century were difficult to find.

Revision Notes

Beginning of Printing The earliest kind of print technology was developed in China, Japan and Korea. This was a system of Hand Printing.

Key Word



Hand Printing: Printed, or put on a surface, by hand rather than by machine. Books in China were printed by rubbing the paper against the inked surface of woodblocks.

Key Words Woodblock: It is a form of relief printing and is based on the principle that parts that are not to be

printed are cut out. Instead colours are pressed on the raised parts, applied like a relief and this would then be rubbed onto a piece of paper or pushed through the press, in which case, the reliefs would be reversed. Calligraphy: It is an ancient writing technique using flat edged pens to create artistic lettering using thick and thin lines depending on the direction of the stroke. Diamond Sutra: The oldest Japanese book printed in AD 868 containing six sheets of texts and woodcut illustrations. Vellum: A parchment made from the skin of animals.

THE READING MANIA : (i) Increase in literacy rate : By the end of the eighteenth century, literacy rate was as high as 60 to 80 per cent in several parts of Europe. As literacy and schools spread in European countries, there was a virtual reading mania. (ii) New forms of literature : In England, penny chapbooks were sold by petty peddlers known as chapmen for a penny, so that even the poor people could buy them easily. In France, 'Bibliotheque Bleue' were printed, which were low-priced small books printed on poor quality paper and bound in cheap blue covers. (iii) Periodicals : The Periodical Press developed from the early eighteenth century, combining information about current affairs with entertainment, about wars and trade, as well as news of developments in other places. Ideas of scientists and philosophers, such as– Isaac Newton, Thomas Paine, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, etc. now became more accessible to the common people. Ancient and medieval scientific texts were compiled and published, and maps and scientific diagrams were widely printed.

Religious Reform: In the early 19th century, there were intense debates around existing religious issues. Some groups wanted to reform, while others were against them.

This was a time of intense controversies between social and religious reformers. The reformers were focused on the Hindu Orthodoxy over matters like widow immolation, monotheism, Brahmanical priesthood and idolatry.

Many newspapers such as “Sambad Kaumudi” in 1821 by Ram Mohan Roy “Samachar Chandrika” (Hindu Orthodoxy), “Jam-e-Jahan Nama” and “Shamsul Akhbar” from 1822 (Persian newspaper) focused on this matter. In North India, the ‘Ulama’ used lithographic presses, published Persian and Urdu translations of holy scriptures, and printed religious newspapers and tracts to spread their religion. In 1867, Deoband Seminary was founded which published thousands of ‘Fatwas’ telling the Code of Conduct of Muslims and explaining the meanings of Islamic doctrines. Print encouraged the reading of religious texts, especially in the vernacular languages. The first printed edition of the Ramcharitmanas written by Tulsidas came out from Calcutta in 1810.

Q. 1. Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow : E 1+2 = 3 From the early nineteenth century, there were intense debates around religious issues. Different groups confronted the changes happening within colonial society in different ways, and offered a variety of new interpretations of the beliefs of different religions. Some criticized existing practices and campaigned for reform, while others countered the arguments of reformers. These debates were carried out in public and in print. Printed tracts and newspapers not only spread the new ideas, but they shaped the nature of the debate. A wider public could now participate in these public discussions and express their views. New ideas emerged through these clashes of opinions. This was a time of intense controversies between social and religious reformers and the Hindu orthodoxy over matters like widow immolation, monotheism, Brahmanical priesthood and idolatry. In Bengal, as the debate developed, tracts and newspapers proliferated, circulating a variety of arguments. To reach a wider audience, the ideas were printed in the everyday, spoken language of ordinary people. (i) Analyze any one issue of intense debate around religious issues.

I. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 questions : E But the production of manuscripts could not satisfy the ever-increasing demand for books. Copying was an expensive, laborious and time-consuming business. Manuscripts were fragile, awkward to handle, and could not be carried around or read easily. Their circulation therefore, remained limited. With the growing demand for books, woodblock printing gradually became more and more popular. By the early fifteenth century, woodblocks were being widely used in Europe to print textiles, playing cards, and religious pictures with simple, brief texts. There was a great need for even quicker and cheaper reproduction of texts. This could only be with the invention of new print technology. The breakthrough occurred in Strasbourg, Germany, where Johann Gutenberg developed the firstknown printing press in the 1430s. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option.



II. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 the questions : U In 1517, the religious reformer Martin Luther wrote Ninety Five Theses criticising many of the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. A printed copy of this was posted on a church door in Wittenberg. It challenged the Church to debate his ideas. Luther's writings were immediately reproduced in vast numbers and read widely. This lead to a division within the Church and to the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Luther's translation of the New Testament sold 5000 copies within a few weeks and a second edition appeared within three months. Deeply grateful to print, Luther said, 'Printings is the ultimate gift of God and the greatest one.' Several scholars, in fact, think that print brought about a new intellectual atmosphere and helped spread the new ideas that led to the reformation.

In mid-nineteenth century Britain, for instance, 500 varieties of hammers were produced along with 45 kinds of axes. These required human skill and not mechanical technology. In Victorian Britain, the upper classes – the Aristocrats and the Bourgeoisie – preferred things produced by hand. Handmade products came to symbolise refinement and class. They were better finished, individually produced and carefully designed. Machine made goods were for export to the Colonies. In countries with labour shortage, industrialists were keen on using mechanical power so that the need for human labour can be minimised. This was the case in nineteenth-century America.

Q. 12. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 the questions: Quit India Movement The failure of the Cripps Mission and the effects of World War II created widespread discontentment in India. This led Gandhiji to launch a movement calling for complete withdrawal of the British from India. The Congress working committee, in its meeting in Wardha on 14 July, 1942, passed the historic ‘Quit India’ resolution demanding the immediate transfer of power to Indians and quit India. On 8 August, 1942, in Bombay, the All India Congress Committee endorsed the resolution which called for a non-violent mass struggle on the widest possible scale throughout the country. It was on this occasion that Gandhiji delivered the famous ‘Do or Die’ speech. The call for ‘Quit India’ almost brought the state machinery to a standstill in large parts of the country as people voluntarily threw themselves into the thick of the movement. People observed hartals and demonstrations and processions were accompanied by national songs and slogans. The movement was truly a mass movement which brought into its ambit thousands of ordinary people, namely students, workers and peasants. It also saw the active participation of leaders, namely, Jayprakash Narayan, Aruna Asaf Ali and Ram Manohar Lohia and many women such as Matangini Hazra in Bengal, Kanaklata Barua in Assam and Rama Devi in Odisha. The British responded with much force, yet it took more than a year to suppress the movement. (i) What factors led Gandhi to launch Quit India Movement?

Natural endowments in the form of land, water, vegetation and minerals are called natural

resources.

For a sustained quality of life and global peace, it is essential that resources should be distributed equally. Sustainable Economic Development: It means development should take place without damaging the environment and development in the present should not compromise with the needs of the future generations. Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, 1992: In June 1992, for achieving sustainable development in the 21st century, more than 100 heads of states participated in the first International Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The main focus of this summit was to protect the environment and socio-economic development at the global level. The leaders of the states signed the Declaration on Global Climate Change and Biological Diversity.

RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT

Resource Planning and Conservation: Resource planning is a technique for the proper utilization of resources. Resource planning involves the following steps:  Identification and inventory of resources, which involves surveying, mapping and quantitative as well as qualitative estimation and measurement of resources.  Implementation of resource development plans, which involves creating a planning structure equipped with appropriate technology, skill and institutional setup.  Matching resource development plan with overall national development plans. Resource development and planning reduce wastage, keeps the environment pollution free, and take care of future needs. The management of resources by humans is known as conservation. Conservation of resources includes a judicious and planned use of resources. Optimum exploitation is a must, but over-exploitation should be checked.

Key Words Resources: All the useful elements of the

environment that satisfy our basic needs are called resources. Natural Groups: A natural resource is something that is found in nature and can be used by people for economic gain. Earth's natural resources include light, air, water, plants, animals, soil, stone, minerals, fossil fuels, etc. Conservation: Prevention of wasteful use of a resource. Conservation of Resources: Planned use of resources in order to meet the present needs and to store a part for the future generations. International Earth Summit: The conference held at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (June 3–14, 1992), to reconcile worldwide economic development with protection of the environment. Resource Planning: It is a strategy for judicious use of resources.

Denudation: It is the wearing away of the terrestrial surface by processes including weathering and erosion. Soil erosion: It is a gradual process that occurs when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Badland: They are a type of arid terrain with clayrich soil that has been extensively eroded by wind and water. Ravine: A small narrow steep-sided valley that is larger than a gully and smaller than a canyon and that is usually worn by running water. Sheet Erosion: It is the uniform removal of soil in thin layers. Wind Erosion: It is a natural process that moves soil from one location to another by wind power. Contour Ploughing: It is the process of farming by keeping the lines of contour on the sloppy regions. Plugging of gullies: It means building temporary dams or planting trees to check fast flowing water or to prevent flood.

soil erosion.

Natural forces like wind, glaciers, and water lead to soil erosion. Sometimes, human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, construction and mining also lead to soil erosion. Ø Types of soil erosion: Gully Erosion: Sometimes running water cuts through the clayey soils and makes deep channels as gullies. The land becomes unfit for cultivation and is known as bad land. Sheet Erosion: In the Chambal basin such lands are called ravines. Sometimes water flows as a sheet over large areas down a slope. In such cases, the topsoil is washed away. This is known as sheet erosion. Wind Erosion: When wind blows loose soil off flat or sloping land, it is known as wind erosion. Defective Farming Methods: Soil erosion is also caused by defective methods of farming. For example, ploughing in a wrong way, i.e., up and down the slope forms channels for the quick flow of water, leading to soil erosion. Ø Measures for soil conservation: Contour ploughing Terrace farming Strip cropping Shelter belts of trees Plugging of gullies Afforestation Control of mining activities

 Arid soil: This soil is generally sandy in texture and saline in nature. This soil lacks humus and moisture. This soil is found in Western Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. The lower horizons of the soil are occupied by Kankar.  Forest soil: This soil is found in hilly and mountainous regions. This soil is loamy and silty in valley sides, while coarse grained in the upper slopes. Ø Soil Erosion: The denudation and subsequent washing down of topsoil which is covered by agents of nature.

the Godavari and the Krishna valleys. This soil is rich in soil nutrients, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash and lime, but poor in phosphorus contents. The black soil is made up of extremely fine, i.e., clayey material. It is well-known for its capacity to hold moisture.  Red and yellow soil: This soil develops in areas of low rainfall or crystalline igneous rocks. It is found in Odisha, Chhattisgarh and the piedmont zone of the Western Ghats. Due to the diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks, its colour becomes reddish.  Laterite soil: This soil develops in areas of high temperature and heavy rainfall. Humus content in the soil is low. It is mainly found in Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and hilly areas of Assam and Odisha. It is good for tea, coffee, cashew nut, etc.

R follow: Resources are vital for human survival as well as for maintaining the quality of life. It was believed that resources are gifts of nature. As a result, human beings used them indiscriminately and this has led to the following major problems: • Depletion of resources for satisfying the greed of a few individuals. • Accumulation of resources in a few hands, which, in turn, divided the society into two segments, i.e., haves and have-nots or rich and poor. • Indiscriminate exploitation of resources has led to global ecological crisis such as, the global warming, ozone layer depletion, environmental pollution and land degradation. Equitable distribution of resources has become essential for sustained quality of life and global peace. If the present trend of resource depletion by a few individuals and countries continues, the future of our planet is in danger.

Therefore, resource planning is essential for sustainable existence of all forms of life. Sustainable existence is a component of sustainable development. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option: Q. 1. Resources are vital for human survival as well as for maintaining the quality of __________.

COMPETENCY BASED QUESTIONS

@PROCBSE





















U questions that follow: Arid soils range from red to brown in colour. They are generally sandy in texture and saline in nature. In some areas the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water. Due to the dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture. The lower horizons of the soil are occupied by Kankar because of the increasing calcium content downwards. The Kankar layer formations in the bottom horizons restrict the infiltration of water. After proper irrigation these soils become cultivable as has been in the case of western Rajasthan. (Source: CBSE TB) How can arid soil be identified? Arid soil is sandy in texture, saline in nature, restricts the filtration of water and it lacks humus and moisture. Which crops are grown on arid soil? Drought and saline-tolerant crops such as wheat, cotton, corn (maize), millets, pulses, and barley can be grown on arid soil. Where is arid soil found in India? In India, the arid soil is mainly found in parts of Western Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab and extends up to the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. What restricts the infiltration of water in arid soil? In desert, lower horizons of soil is occupied by kankar layer due to increased movement of calcium content downward and this kankar layer in the bottom horizons restricts the infiltration of water. Read the case study given below and answer the U questions that follow: Total geographical area of India is 3.28 million sq km. Land use data, however, is available only for 93 per cent of the total geographical area because the land use reporting for most of the north-east states except Assam has not been done fully.

Which of the following activities leads to land degradation? (A) Quarrying (B) Mining (C) Afforestation (D) Both 'A' and 'B' Ans. Option (D) is correct.



A questions that follow: We have shared our land with the past generations and will have to do so with the future generations too. Ninety-five per cent of our basic needs for food, shelter and clothing are obtained from land. Human activities have not only brought about degradation of land, but have also aggravated the pace of natural forces to cause damage to land. Some human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, mining and quarrying too have contributed significantly to land degradation. Mining sites are abandoned after excavation work is complete leaving deep scars and traces of overburdening. In states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha deforestation due to mining has caused severe land degradation. In states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra overgrazing are one of the main reasons for land degradation. In the states of Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh, over-irrigation responsible for land degradation due to water logging leading to increase in salinity and alkalinity in the soil. The mineral processing like grinding of limestone for cement industry and calcite and soapstone for ceramic industry generate huge quantity of dust in the atmosphere. It retards the process of infiltration of water into the soil after it settles down on the land. In recent years, industrial effluents as waste have become a major source of land and water pollution in many parts of the country. Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option: With whom do we share our land? (A) Enemies (B) Oceans and seas (C) China (D) Past and future generations Option (D) is correct.

are either grown naturally or by man for grazing purposes. Why has the land under permanent pasture decreased? Land under permanent pasture is decreasing due to increase of population in an uncontrollable rate, demand for food, land for houses, etc., are increasing. Hence, people have started using the pastoral land for making their house or using it as an agricultural land. Why is the net sown area high in Punjab and Haryana; whereas low in Arunachal Pradesh? Arunachal Pradesh is situated in hilly area and it is difficult to produce crops in hilly area; whereas, Punjab and Haryana are situated in plain areas and they have fertile and good quality soil.

Solutions for Practice Questions (Topic-1)





Q. 1. Why is it important to collect land use data? Ans. Land use data is used as basic information for sustainable management of natural resources; they are increasingly needed for the assessment of impacts of economic development on the environment. Q. 2. What is permanent pasture land? Ans. Permanent pastures are those pastures which







current fallow lands, are either of poor quality or the cost of cultivation. The pattern of net sown area varies greatly from one state to another. It is over 80 per cent of the total area in Punjab and Haryana and less than 10 per cent in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur and Andaman Nicobar Islands.

Ans.3: Following methods can be used for soil conservation in hilly areas: (i) Contour Ploughing: Contour ploughing or ploughing along the contour lines of a highland can decelerate the flow of water down the slopes. (ii) Terrace Cultivation: Terrace cultivation or cutting of steps around the slopes to provide land for agriculture also checks the downhill flow of water and controls soil erosion, e.g., as in Western and Central Himalayan region. (iii) Strip Cropping: Under this method, large fields can be divided into strips. Strips of grass are left to grow between the crops. This breaks up the force of the wind. (iv) Afforestation: Afforestation or planting of trees in the hilly regions can help in soil conservation. (v) Checking shifting cultivation: It is an agricultural system in which a person uses a piece of land, only to abandon or alter the initial use a short time later. This system often involves clearing of a piece of land followed by several years of wood harvesting or farming until the soil loses fertility. (vi) Shelter Belt: It is a system in which a barrier of trees and shrubs is created that provides protection (as for crops) from wind and storm and lessens erosion. (Any five) (1×5=5)

Conservation in the background of rapid decline









Revision Notes The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act was

implemented in 1972, with various provisions for protecting habitats. An All India list of protected species was also published. The thrust of the programme was towards protecting the remaining population of certain endangered species by banning hunting, giving legal protection to their habitats, and restricting trade in wildlife. The Central Government also announced several projects for protecting specific animals, which were gravely threatened, including the tiger, the onehorned rhinoceros, the Kashmir stag or hangul, three types of crocodiles – fresh water crocodile, saltwater crocodile and the Gharial, the Asiatic lion, and others. Most recently, the Indian elephant, black buck (chinkara), the great Indian bustard (godawan) and the snow leopard, etc. have been given full or partial legal protection against hunting and trade throughout India.

But there is still a long way to go before local communities are at the centre stage in decision-making.

Reserved forests: They are the protected forests with the natural habitat that has high degree of protection from any kind of hunting and poaching. Protected Forest: It is land that is a reserved forest, and over which the government has property rights, as declared by a state government under section 29 of the Indian Forest Act 1927.

Unclassed forest: Forests that are owned by both the government and private individuals or communities.

All North-eastern states and parts of Gujarat have a very high percentage of their forests as unclassed forests managed by local communities.

Chipko movement: It was a non-violent social and ecological movement by rural villagers, particularly women, in India in the 1970s, aimed at protecting trees and forests slated for government-backed logging. Joint Forest Management: It is concept of developing relationships between fringe forest groups and forest department on the basis of mutual trust and jointly defined roles and responsibilities for forest protection and development.

Community and Conservation:



The programme has been in formal existence since 1988 when the state of Odisha passed the first resolution for joint forest management.

In India joint forest management (JFM) programme furnishes a good example for involving local communities in the management and restoration of degraded forests.

(ii) Protected Forests: Scan to know Almost one-third of more about the total forest area this topic is protected forest, as declared by the Forest Department. This forest land are protected from any further depletion. Variety of Flora (iii) Unclassed Forests: and Fauna These are other forests and wastelands belonging to both government and private individuals and communities. Reserved and protected forests are also referred to as permanent forest estates maintained for the purpose of producing timber and other forest produce, and for protective reasons. Madhya Pradesh has the largest area under permanent forests, constituting 75 per cent of its total forest area. Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Maharashtra have large percentages of reserved forests of its total forest area whereas Bihar, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha and Rajasthan have a bulk of it under protected









Reserved forests are regarded as the most valuable as far as the conservation of forest and wildlife resources are concerned.

Conservation strategies are not new in our country. We often ignore that in India, forests are also home to some of the traditional communities. In some areas of India, local communities are struggling to conserve these habitats along with government officials, recognising that only this will secure their own long-term livelihood. In Sariska Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, villagers have fought against mining by citing the Wildlife Protection Act.

Key Fact

The famous Chipko movement in the Himalayas has not only successfully resisted deforestation in several areas but has also shown that community afforestation with indigenous species can be enormously successful.

India is ranked 10th in world, with 24.4% of land area under forest and tree cover.

COMPETENCY BASED QUESTIONS

















































































































I. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 questions: U We share this planet with millions of other living beings, starting from micro-organisms and bacteria, lichens to banyan trees, elephants and blue whales. This entire habitat that we live in has immense biodiversity. We humans along with all living organisms form a complex web of ecological system in which we are only a part and very much dependent on this system for our own existence. For example, the plants, animals and micro-organisms re-create the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil that produces our food without which we cannot survive. Forests play a key role in the ecological system as these are also the primary producers on which all other living beings depend. Some estimates suggest that at least 10 per cent of India’s recorded wild flora and 20 per cent of its mammals are on the threatened list. Many of these would now be categorised as ‘critical’, that is on the verge of extinction like the cheetah, pink-headed duck, mountain quail, forest spotted owlet, and plants like madhucainsignis (a wild variety of mahua) and Hubbardiaheptaneuron, (a species of grass). In fact, no one can say how many species may have already been lost. Q. 1. What does biodiversity include? (A) Living beings (B) Micro organisms (C) Fungi (D) All of the Above Ans.

"The conservation projects are now focussing on biodiversity rather than on a few of its components." Justify with proper examples. Ans. The conservation projects are now focusing on biodiversity rather than on a few of its components. Following examples proves the above given statement:

















@PROCBSE 128

































































Conservation preserves the ecological diversity and our life support systems – water, air and soil. It also preserves the genetic diversity of plants and animals for better growth of species and breeding. For example, in agriculture,we are still dependent on traditional crop varieties. Fisheries too are heavily dependent on the maintenance of aquatic biodiversity. In the 1960s and 1970s, conservationists demanded a National Wildlife Protection Programme. The Indian Wildlife (Protection)Act was implemented in 1972, with various provisions for protecting habitats. An all-India list of protected species was also published. The thrust of the programme was towards protecting the remaining population of certain endangered species by banning hunting, giving legal protection to their habitats, and restricting trade in wildlife. Subsequently, central and many State Governments established national parks and wildlife sanctuaries about which you have already studied. The Central government also announced several projects for protecting specific animals, which were gravely threatened, including the tiger , the one-horned rhinoceros, the Kashmir stag or hangul, three types of crocodiles – freshwater crocodile, saltwater crocodile and the Gharial, the Asiatic lion, and others. Most recently, the Indian elephant, black buck (chinkara), the great Indian bustard(godawan) and the snow leopard, etc. have been given full or partial legal protection against hunting and trade throughout India. Q. 1. Why is biodiversity important? Ans. Biodiversity is important because it boosts ecosystem productivity, where every species plays a part, no matter how small. Q. 2. What is the aim objective of National Wildlife Protection Programme? Ans. The main objective of the National Wildlife Protection Programme is to protect wild plants and wild animals. Q. 3. When was the National Wildlife Protection Programme implemented? Ans. 1972. Q. 4. Name any two animals protected under the National Wildlife Protection Programme. Ans. Bengal Hanuman langur, Himalayan Black Bear. Q. 5. Name any two animals which have been given partial or full legal protection against hunting and trade throughout India. Ans. The Indian elephant, black buck (chinkara), the great Indian bustard(godawan) and the snow leopard, etc. have been given full or partial legal protection against hunting and trade throughout India. (Any Two) Q. 6. What all activities are kept under check under the National Wildlife Protection Programme? Ans. Prohibition of hunting, prohibition of cutting/ uprooting specified plants, prohibition of cultivation of certain plants are some of the activities that are kept under check.

II. Read the extract given below and answer any 5 out of 6 questions: U Large-scale development projects have also contributed significantly to the loss of forests. Since 1951, over 5,000 sq km of forest was cleared for river valley projects. Clearing of forests is still continuing with projects like the Narmada Sagar Project in Madhya Pradesh, which would inundate 40,000 hectares of forest. Mining is another important factor behind deforestation. The Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal is seriously threatened by the ongoing dolomite mining. It has disturbed the natural habitat of many species and blocked the migration route of several others, including the great Indian elephant. Many foresters and environmentalists hold the view that the greatest degrading factors behind the depletion of forest resources are grazing and fuel-wood collection. Though, there may be some substance in their argument, yet, the fact remains that a substantial part of the fuel-fodder demand is met by lopping rather than by felling entire trees. The forest ecosystems are repositories of some of the country’s most valuable forest products, minerals and other resources that meet the demands of the rapidly expanding industrial-urban economy. Q. 1. What has led to the significant loss of forests? Ans. Large-scale development projects have also contributed significantly to the loss of forests. Q. 2. How much forest has been cleared for various river valley projects since 1951? Ans. Since 1951, over 5,000 sq km of forest was cleared for river valley projects. Q. 3. The Narmada Sagar Project is in which state? Ans. Madhya Pradesh Q. 4. Name the greatest degrading factors behind the depletion of forest resources. Ans. Many foresters and environmentalists hold the view that the greatest degrading factors behind the depletion of forest resources are grazing and fuelwood collection. Q. 5. Why is the Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal seriously threatened by the ongoing dolomite mining? Ans. The Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal is seriously threatened by the ongoing dolomite mining. It has disturbed the natural habitat of many species and blocked the migration route of several others, including the great Indian elephant. Q. 6. How is substantial part of the fuel-fodder demand met? Ans. A substantial part of the fuel-fodder demand is met by lopping rather than by felling entire trees. III. Read the extract given below and answer any five out of six questions. E Conservation in the background of rapid decline in wildlife population and forestry has become essential.

Water scarcity: It is caused by over-exploitation, excessive use of and unequal access to water among different social groups. An area having ample water resources can have to face water scarcity due to the following reasons: Greater demand for water by large and growing  population and unequal access to it. Water resources are being over-exploited to  expand agriculture and consequently ground water levels are falling.

I. Given the abundance and renewability of water, it is difficult to imagine that we may suffer from water scarcity. The moment we speak of water shortages, we immediately associate it with regions having low rainfall of those that are drought prone. We instantaneously visualise the deserts of Rajasthan and women balancing many 'matkas' (earthen pots) used for collecting and storing water and travelling long distances to get water. True, the availability of water resources varies over space and time, mainly due to the variations in seasonal and annual precipitation, but water scarcity in most cases is caused by over-exploitation, excessive use and unequal access to water among different social groups. Where is then water scarcity likely to occur? As you have read in the hydrological cycle, freshwater can

be obtained directly from precipitation, surface run off and groundwater. Is it possible that an area or region may have ample water resources but is still facing water scarcity? Many of our cities are such examples. Thus, water scarcity may be an outcome of large and growing population and consequent greater demands for water, and unequal access to it. A large population requires more water not only for domestic use but also to produce more food. Hence, to facilitate higher food-grain production, water resources are being over-exploited to expand irrigated areas for dry-season agriculture. Irrigated agriculture is the largest consumer of water. Now it is needed to revolutionise the resistant crops and dry farming techniques. You may have seen in many television advertisements that most farmers have their own wells and tube-wells in their farms for irrigation to increase their produce. But have you ever wondered what this could result in? That it may lead to falling groundwater levels, adversely affecting water availability and food security of the people.

 

Ans. Keeping into view the disadvantages and rising resistance against the multi-purpose projects, water harvesting system is considered a viable alternative both socio-economically and environmentally. (i) In ancient India also along with the sophisticated hydraulic structures, there existed an extraordinary tradition of various water harvesting systems. (ii) People adopted different techniques in different areas. In hilly regions people built diversion channels like the ‘guls’ or ‘kuls’ for agriculture. (iii) Roof-top rain water harvesting was commonly practised to store drinking water, particularly in Rajasthan. (iv) In the flood plains of Bengal, people developed inundation channels to irrigate their fields. Khadins, Johads and Tanks are the forms of rain water harvesting practised in Rajasthan. 1¼ × 4 = 5 (CBSE Marking Scheme, 2011)





















Q. 1. Why is roof top water harvesting important in Rajasthan? Explain. U [Board Term-I, KVS-2014] Ans. Roof top water harvesting is important in Rajasthan because: (i) It was commonly practised to store drinking water. (ii) The rainwater can be stored in the tanks till the next rainfall, making it an extremely reliable source of drinking water when all other sources are dried up,

particularly in the summers. (iii) Rain water, or Palar pani, as commonly referred to in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural water. (iv) Many houses construct underground rooms adjoining the ‘tanka’ to beat the summer heat as it would keep the room cool. (v) Some houses still maintain the tanks since they do not like the taste of tap water. 1×5=5 Q. 2. Why are different water harvesting systems considered a viable alternative both socioeconomically and environmentally in a country like India?

Case Based Subjective Questions

In the semi-arid and arid regions of Rajasthan, particularly in Bikaner, Phalodi and Barmer, almost all the houses traditionally had underground tanks or tankas for storing drinking water. The tanks could be as large as a big room; one household in Phalodi had a tank that was 6.1 metres deep, 4.27 metres long and 2.44 metres wide. The tankas were part of the well-developed rooftop rainwater harvesting system and were built inside the main house or the courtyard. They were connected to the sloping roofs of the houses through a pipe. Rain falling on the rooftops would travel down the pipe and was stored in these underground 'tankas'. The first spell of rain was usually not collected as this would clean the roofs and the pipes. The rainwater from the subsequent showers was then collected. The rainwater can be stored the tankas till the next rainfall making it an extremely reliable source of drinking water when all other sources are dried up, particularly in the summers. Rainwater, or palar pain, as commonly referred to in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural water. Many houses constructed underground rooms adjoining the 'tanka' to beat the summer heat as it would keep the room cool. Q. 1. Name a traditional rainwater harvesting technique, commonly practiced in Rajasthan, India. Ans. A tanka is a traditional rainwater harvesting technique, common to the Thar desert region of Rajasthan, India. Q. 2. In which part of Rajasthan are tankas commonly used? Ans. In the semi-arid and arid regions of Rajasthan, particularly in Bikaner, Phalodi and Barmer, almost all the houses, traditionally, have big underground tanks called 'tankas' for storing drinking water. Q. 3. What are palarpani? Ans. Rainwater is referred to as palarpani in Rajasthan. It is considered as the purest form of natural water. Q. 4. State any one benefit of constructing a tanka. Ans.

Farming: Commercial The main characteristic of this type of farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g., high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides to obtain higher productivity. The main purpose of this type of farming is to earn a profit by selling the product. The amount of commercialisation of farming varies from one area to another, depending on climatic conditions, irrigation facilities and other factors.

Intensive Subsistence Farming: It is the type of farming that is done by using scientific methods and better agricultural inputs to increase agricultural production.

The kharif crops include rice, maize, millets, cotton, jute, groundnut, moong, urad, etc. Unlike Rabi crops, Kharif crops require good rainfall. The output of these crops depends upon the time and amount of rainwater. These crops are mainly grown in Assam, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, coastal regions of Odisha, Kerala and Maharashtra. (iii) Zaid season: This is a short crop season in between the rabi and the kharif season. Crops like watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, some vegetables and fodder crops are the major crops of this season.

Detailed Answer: Rice and wheat are the two most important cereal crops grown in India. (i) Rice: This crop is grown well in hot and moist climate. The geographical conditions required for rice cultivation are: (a) Temperature: 16°C – 27°C and rainfall 100 cm to 200 cm is ideal for rice growing. But rainfall during harvest time is harmful. Annual coverage temperature around 24°C is ideal. (b) Soil: Rice is grown well on the alluvial soil or on the fertile river basins. It is also grown in mixed soil or loamy and clayey soil. (c) Land: Plain lands or gentle slopes are suitable for the production of rice. Because stagnancy of water is must for the cultivation of rice. Plenty of cheap labour is also required for the production of rice. HYV seeds, plenty of chemical manure, irrigation water, can produce more rice. (ii) Wheat: Wheat is the 2nd most important food crop of India. It is the crop of temperate region. In India, it is grown in winter. It is more dependent on climate than soil. The geographical conditions required for wheat cultivation are mentioned below: (a) Temperature: Wheat requires 14° to 18°C temperature. High temperature is harmful for the cultivation of wheat.

Food security

Revision Notes Introduction of Various Policies and Reforms India’s food security policy has a primary objective to ensure the availability of food grains to the common people at an affordable price. It has enabled the poor to have access to the food. The Green Revolution promised improvement in the condition of marginal and small farmers. In the 1980s and 1990s, a comprehensive land development programme was initiated, which included both institutional and technical reforms. Provision for crop insurance against drought, flood, cyclone, fire and disease, the establishment of the Grameen banks, cooperative societies and banks for providing loan facilities to the farmers at lower rates of interest were some important steps in this direction.

Key Facts Norman Borlaug is known as the Father of the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution was the notable increase in cereal-grains production in Mexico, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and other developing countries in the 1960s and 1970s. Problems Faced by the Farmers

Consolidation of holding: It means to bring together different peices of land and merge them into one land. Collectivisation: It meant that peasants would work together on larger, supposedly more productive farms. Almost all the crops they produced would be given to the government at low prices to feed the industrial workers. Food Security: It means availability, accessibility and affordability of food for all. Green Revolution: It was a period that began in the 1960s during which agriculture in India was converted into a modern industrial system by the adoption of technology. Crop insurance: It is a type of protection policy that covers agricultural producers against unexpected loss of projected crop yields or profits from products sales at the market.



Key Words















Changing the Face of Indian Agriculture Agriculture, provides livelihood for more than 60% of population, needs some serious technical and institutional reforms. Collectivisation, consolidation of holding, cooperation and abolition of zamindari, etc, were given priority to bring about institutional reforms in the country after Independence. Special weather bulletins and agricultural programmes for farmers were introduced on the radio and television.

Today, Indian farmers are facing a big challenge from international competition. The growth rate in agriculture is decelerating which is an alarming situation.

India’s food security policy has a primary objective to ensure availability of food grains to the common people at an affordable price. It has enabled the poor to have access to the food. Food security has following dimensions: (a) Availability of food means food production within the country, food imports and the previous years stock stored in government granaries. (b) Accessibility means food is within reach of every person. (c) Affordability implies that an individual has enough money to buy sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet one's dietary needs. Thus, food security is ensured in a country only if (1) Enough food is available for all the person (2) All person have the capacity to buy food of acceptable quality and (3) There is no barrier on access to food The high MSP, subsidies in input and committed FCI purchases have distorted the cropping pattern. Wheat and paddy crops are being grown more for the MSP they get. Punjab and Haryana are the foremost examples. This has also created a serious imbalance in inter-crop parities. There has been a gradual shift from cultivation of food crops to cultivation of fruits, vegetables, oilseeds and industrial crops.









































Subsidy on fertilisers is decreased leading to an increase in the cost of production. Reduction in import duties on agricultural products has proved detrimental to agriculture in the country. Farmers are withdrawing their investment from agriculture causing a downfall in the employment in agriculture. What is Food Security System? In order to ensure the availability of food to all sections of society, our government carefully designed a national food security system. It consists of two components—(a) buffer stock and (b) public distribution system (PDS). Food Security means availability, accessibility and affordability of food to all people at all times. The poor households are move vulnerable to food insecurity whenever there is a problem of production or distribution of food crops. Food security depends on the Public Distribution System (PDS) and government vigilance and action at times, when this security is threatened. In the 1970s, food security was understood as the "availability at all times of adequate supply of basic foodstuffs" (UN, 1975). The FCI procures food grains from the farmers at the government announced minimum support price (MSP).

Key Words National food security system: It is an Indian Act of Parliament which aims to provide subsidized food grains to approximately two thirds of the country's 1.2 billion people. Public distribution system: It is a government-sponsored chain of shops entrusted with the work of distributing basic food and non-food commodities to the needy sections of the society at very cheap prices. Minimum Support Price (MSP): It is the minimum guaranteed price of a crop, fixed and announced by the government before the start of a cropping season. Public Distribution System: It evolved as a system of management of scarcity through distribution of foodgrains at affordable prices. Globalisation: It is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Environmental degradation: It is a process through which the natural environment is compromised in some way, reducing biological diversity and the general health of the environment.

Ans. Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy though its share in the Gross Domestic Product has registered a declining trend (from 1951 onwards). In 2010 – 11, about 52% of the total workforce was employed by the farm sector which makes more than half of the Indian population dependent on agriculture for sustenance.



Students have mixed both institutional and technological reforms. Discuss both separately in this answer.

Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. Plantations cover large



Commercial Farming















It is a 'slash and burn' agriculture. Farmers clear a patch of land and produce cereals and other food crops to sustain their family. When the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation. This type of shifting allows nature to replenish the fertility of the soil through natural processes; land productivity in this type of agriculture is low as the farmer does not use fertilisers or other modern inputs. It is known by different names in different parts of the country.









Q. 1. Primitive Subsistence farming depends on:



This type of farming is still practised in few pockets of India. Primitive Subsistence Agriculture is practised on small patches of land with the help of primitive tools like hoe, dao and digging sticks, and family/community labour. This type of farming depends upon monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and suitability of other environmental conditions to the crops grown.







Primitive Subsistence Farming

In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc., are important plantation crops. Tea in Assam and North Bengal coffee in Karnataka are some of the important plantation crops grown in these states. Since the production is mainly for market, a well-developed network of transport and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development of plantations.

Ores: The minerals which have a very high percentage of a particular metal and the metal can be profitably extracted from it. Crevices: A narrow opening or fissure, especially in a rock. Alluvial deposits: They are material deposited by rivers. It consists of silt, sand, clay, and gravel, as well as much organic matter. Bromine: It is the only liquid non-metallic element, which is a deep-red fuming substance. This rare element is extracted from ocean water and salt lakes. Rock: It is a natural substance composed of solid crystals of different minerals that have been fused into a solid lump.

Key Word













Minerals also occur as alluvial deposits in sands of valley floors and the base of hills. Examples; gold, silver, tin, platinum, etc. The ocean waters contain vast quantities of minerals. But common salt, magnesium and bromine are mainly derived from ocean waters. Rocks Containing Minerals: Compacted substances that comprise the earth’s crust are called rocks. Rocks are the naturally formed aggregate of mineral particles. It is the minerals that impart their texture, colour, shape, hardness or softness to rocks. For example; limestone is a rock which consists of a single mineral. Majority of rocks on the earth’s crust are a combination or an aggregate of different minerals. Over 3000 minerals have been identified so far; only a few are abundantly found.
