Major classification of Indian soils
According to ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) soils are divided
into 8 categories. they are:
1. Alluvial soil [43%]

2. Red soil [18.5%]
3. Black / regur soil [15%]
4. Arid / desert soil
5. Laterite soil
6. Peaty Soil
7. Forest soil
8. mountain soil
Alluvial soil:
Mostly available soil in India (about 43%) which covers an area of 143
sq.km.Widespread in northern plains and river valleys.In peninsular-India,
they are mostly found in deltas and estuaries. New alluvium is termed
as Khadarand old alluvium is termed as Bhangar.
Colour: Light Grey to Ash Grey.
Texture: Sandy to silty loam or clay.
Red soil:
Seen mainly in low rainfall area. Also known as Omnibus group..
Colour: Red because of Ferric oxide. The lower layer is reddish yellow or
yellow.
Texture:Sandy to clay and loamy.
Black soil / regur soil:

Regur means cotton – best soil for cotton cultivation. Most of the Deccan is
occupied by Black soil.It is Mature soil.It has High water retaining
capacity.Soils are Swells and will become sticky when wet and shrink when
dried. Self-ploughing is a characteristic of the black soil as it develops wide
cracks when dried.
Colour: Deep black to light black.
Laterite soil:
Name from Latin word ‘Later’ which means Brick.It becomes so soft when wet
and so hard when dried. In the areas of high temperature and high rainfall.
Colour: Red colour due to iron oxide.
Desert / arid soil:
Seen under Arid and Semi-Arid conditions.
Colour:Red to Brown.
Texture:Sandy
Peaty / marshy soil:
Areas of heavy rainfall and high humidity.Growth of vegetation is very less.A

large quantity of dead organic matter/humus which makes the soil alkaline
Forest soil:
Regions of high rainfall. Humus content is less and thus the soil is acidic.
Mountain soil:

The Nationalist Movements In India

The Nationalist Movements in India were organized as mass movements
emphasizing and raising questions concerning the interests of the people of
India. In most of these movements, people were themselves encouraged to
take action. Due to several factors, these movements failed to win
independence for India. However, they did promote a sense of nationalism
among the people of the country. The failure of these movements affected
many people as they withdrew from Government offices, schools, factories and
services. Though they did manage to get a few concessions such as those won
by the Salt March in 1930, they did not help India much from the point of view
of their objective.
Entry of Europeans:
Entry of Europeans to the country started with the establishment of the spice
trade in the 1400’s when several European countries set up trading posts and
colonial towns in the country. Portugal, the Dutch Republic, Denmark, France,
and England all had a significant presence in the country beginning as far back
as the 1400’s (Portugal). It was England, however, that held the longest power
in the country. After 1858, the British held colonial power after taking it from
the East India Company which had been ruling since 1757.
Mahatma Gandhi And His Non-Violent Ways:
Mahatma Gandhi is perhaps the most widely recognized figure of the Indian
Nationalist Movement for his role in leading non-violent civil uprisings. He first
employed the non-violent approach in South Africa where he was serving as
an expatriate lawyer. He was hurt and angry when he witnessed discrimination
and exploitation of colored people under Whites rule. He organizes non-violent
protests in the country which gained him fame and support from the people
of South Africa.In 1921, he became the leader of the Indian National
Congress, a nationalist political party in India, which demanded
11 | P a g e
nondiscriminatory laws, equal rights for men and women, peaceful inter-
religious relations, overthrow of the caste system, and above all, Indian
independence. During his lifetime, Gandhi carried out three major
nationalist movements which are discussed below.
The Non-Cooperation Movement
The first of the Gandhi-led movements was the Non-Cooperation Movement

lasting from September 1920 until February 1922.If the residents of a
country stop co-operating with the British, then the minority Britishers would
be forced to give up.This meant that people left their jobs, removed their
children from schools, and avoided government offices.
The name Mahatma Gandhi became popular. However, the Non-Cooperation

Movement ended when a violent mob erupted in Chauri Chaura in Uttar
Pradesh. The individuals involved burned a police station, killing 23 police
officials. Gandhi stopped the movement, remaining true to his stance on non-
violent protesting.The abrupt ending of the Non-Cooperation Movement did
nothing to stop the quest for independence.
The Dandi March:
On March 12, 1930, protesters took part in the Dandi March, a campaign
designed to resist taxes and protest the British monopoly on salt. Gandhi began
the 24-day, 240-mile march with 79 followers and ended with
thousands. When the protesters reached the coastal town of Dandi, they
produced salt from saltwater without paying the British tax.This movement
prompted nearly a year of civil disobedience, illegal salt production and
purchase, boycotts of British goods, refusal to pay taxes, and the
imprisonment of approximately 80,000 Indians. The movement earned
national and international attention.
The Quit India Movement:
The Quit India Movement began on August 8, 1942, during World War II. The
India Congress Committee, under the urging of Gandhi, called for a mass
British withdrawal and Gandhi made a “Do or Die” speech. British officials
acted immediately and arrested nearly every member of the Indian National
Congress party.
The nation once again entered mass civil disobedience marked by anti-war
speeches and refusal to assist in the war efforts. This movement introduced
the idea to the British that they might be unable to maintain control of India.
The Cost Of Independence:
At last, on August 15, 1947, India gained independence from British rule.
However, independence came at a huge cost. Hindus and Muslims who had
fought side by side against the united enemy now had to be separated.
On June 3, 1947, British rulers proposed an Act to separate British India into
India and Pakistan. Thus, the hard work, sacrifice, and willpower of Indians led
to the freedom of India from British rule.

IMPORTANT GAMES
Games are sometimes played purely for entertainment, sometimes for achievement or
reward as well. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both.
Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform
an educational, simulational, or psychological role.
Olympic Games are considered the world’s foremost sports competition with more
than 200 nations participating. The Olympic Games are held every four years, with
the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years
apart.
The World Cup is the “world’s most widely viewed sporting event” and takes place
every four years to determine the world champion. Here we give the list of future games
useful for Competitive Examinations.

Transport System in India
Transport in India
Transport or transportation is the movement of humans, animals and goods from one location
to another .Modes of transport include air,land(rail & road),water,cable,pipeline and space.
Railways
 Railways was introduced to India in 1853, when a line was constructed from Bombay to
Thane covering a distance of 34 km.
 The total length of Indian Railways network is 64460 km. (March 2011).
 Indian Railways system has been divided into sixteen zones (as shown in the map given
below − the lines shown in different colors illustrate the regions of respective zones).
 India has three system of railways − broad gauge (the distance between rails is 1.676
meter); meter gauge (the distance between rails is one meter); and narrow gauge (the
distance between the rails is 0.762 meter or 0.610 meter).
 Konkan Railway constructed along the western coast in 1998, is a landmark achievement
of Indian Railway.
 Konkan Railway is 760 km long rail route connecting Roha in Maharashtra
to Mangalore in Karnataka.
 Konkan Railway crosses 146 rivers, streams, nearly 2000 bridges, and 91 tunnels.
 Asia’s largest tunnel which is about 6.5 km long, is constructed on the Konkan railway
route near Ratnagiri in Maharashtra.
The gauge-wise route and track lengths of the systems as on 31st March, 2007 are as under:-

Road
 With a total length of about 42.3 lakh km, India has one of the largest road networks in
the world.About 85% of passenger and 70% of freight traffic are carried by roads.Sher
Shah Suri built the Shahi (Royal) road to strengthen and consolidate his empire from the
Indus Valley to the Sonar Valley in Bengal. This road was later renamed as the Grand
Trunk (GT) Road during the British period, connecting Calcutta and Peshawar. At
present, GT Road extends from Amritsar to Kolkata. It is bifurcated into 2 segments − (a)
National Highway (NH)-1 from Delhi to Amritsar, and (b) NH- 2 from Delhi to Kolkata.
 Roads have been classified as National Highways (NH), State Highways (SH), Major
District Roads, and Rural Roads.
Page 3
 The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which is an autonomous body under
the Ministry of Surface Transport was operationalized in 1995.The main roads
connecting two or more states are constructed and maintained by the Central
Government. These roads are known as the National Highways. The NHAI is responsible
for the development, maintenance, and operation of National Highways.The National
Highways constitute only 1.67 per cent of the total road length, but carry about 40 per
cent of the road traffic.
 State Highways are constructed and maintained by the state governments.
National 65,590 km
Highways/Expressways
State Highways 1,28,000 km
Major and other Disctric 4,70,000 km
Roads
Rural Roads 26,50,000 km
Waterways
Water transport can be divided into two major categories − inland waterways and oceanic
waterways.
 India has 14,500 km of navigable waterways, contributing about 1% to the country’s

transportation.
 Currently, 5,685 km of major rivers is navigable by mechanized flat bottom vessels.
 Inland Waterways Authority was set up in 1986 for the development, maintenance, and
regulation of national waterways in the country.
 Major National Waterways (NW) of India are NW 1 (Allahabad-Haldia covers 1,620

km); NW 2 (Sadiya-Dhubri covers 891 km); and NW 3 (KottapuramKollam covers 205
km).With 12 major and 185 minor ports, India has a vast coastline of approximate 7,517
Page 4
km, including islands.Roughly 95% of India’s foreign trade by volume and 70% by value
moves through ocean routes.
 Ocean transport is the most important water transport, because it has certain advantages
over land carriage. The sea offers a ready-made carriageway for ships which, unlike the
roadway or railway, requires no maintenance.
 Water surfaces are two-dimensional and, although sea-going vessels frequently keep to
shipping lanes, ships can travel, within a limited number of constraints, in any direction.
Air Ports
 Air transport in India marked its beginning in 1911 with the commencement of airmail
over a little distance of 10 km between Allahabad and Naini.
 The Airport Authority of India is accountable for providing safe, efficient air traffic,
and aeronautical communication services in the Indian Air Space.
 Pawan Hans is the helicopter service operating in hilly areas and is widely used by
tourists in north-eastern regions.
 The coastline of India is dotted with 12 Major Ports and about 200 Non-major Ports. The
Major Ports are under the purview of the central while the Non-major Ports come under
the jurisdiction of the respective State Governments.
 The 12 Major Ports (including the Port of Ennore which is a corporate port set up under
the Indian Companies Act, 1956) are evenly spread out on the Eastern and Western coast.
The ports of Kolkata, Paradip, Viskhapatnam, Chennai, New Mangalore, Mormugao,
Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru at Jhavasheva and Kandla are on the Western Coast. The
capacity of major ports have increased from 20 Million Tonnes per annum (MTPA) 1951
to 504.75 as on 31st March, 2007.
Sea-Ports
 At present, India has 12 major ports and 185 minor or intermediate ports.
Page 5
 The 12 major ports handled about 71 per cent of the country’s oceanic traffic in the year
2008-09.
 The capacity of Indian ports increased from 20 million tons of cargo handling in 1951 to
more than 586 million tons in 2008-09.
 Kandla Port located in the Gulf of Kachchh, on the west coast of Gujarat has been
developed as a major port.
 Kandla port is specially designed to receive large quantities of petroleum and petroleum
products and fertilizer.
 Mumbai has a natural harbor and it is the biggest seaport of the country.
Pipelines
Oil and gas industry in India imports 82% of its oil needs and aims to bring that down to 67% by
2022 by replacing it with local exploration, renewable energy and indigenous ethanol fuel (Jan

 Length of pipelines for crude oil is 20,000 km (12,427 mi).

 Length of Petroleum products pipeline is 15,000 kilometres (9,300 mi).
Space Transportation System
 The Space Transportation System (STS), also known internally to NASA as the
Integrated Program Plan (IPP), was a proposed system of reusable manned space vehicles
envisioned in 1969 to support extended operations beyond the Apollo program. (NASA
appropriated the name for its Space Shuttle Program, the only component of the proposal
to survive Congressional funding approval).
 The purpose of the system was twofold: to reduce the cost of spaceflight by replacing the
current method of launching capsules on expendable rockets with reusable spacecraft;
and to support ambitious follow-on programs including permanent orbiting space
stations around the Earth and Moon, and a human landing mission to Mars.

Types of Election s in India
Types of Elections in India
An election is a formal group decision-making process by which a population chooses an

individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which
modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century.
Types of Elections in India & World:
There are different types of election systems in the world. We can classify these into two types:
1. Majoritarian systems
2. Proportional Representation Systems
Article 324 to 329 of the constitution provides the framework for electoral system in India.
Election Process for the Lok Sabha (India):
 Members of the Lok Sabha are elected by adult universal suffrage and a first-past-the-
post system.
 The maximum strength of the House envisaged by the Constitution is 552. This may
include up to 530 members from the states, up to 20 members from the Union

 Reservation of seats for SCs and STs
Direct Election:

citizen of the country, who is more than 18 years of age, can vote in the election
irrespective of his/her social status, religion, caste, race etc.
Page 1
Territorial Constituency:
 Each state is divided into territorial constituencies for the purpose of elections. One
member of Lok Sabha is elected from each constituency. That means, the number of seats
for the election are equal to the number of constituencies.
Readjustment of constituencies after each census:
 After every census, there may be a need to read just the constituencies; as the delimitation
is based on population and not on area.
Reservation of seats for SCs and STs:
 The constitution provides for reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and
Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Lok Sabha. The 95th Amendment Act, 2009 extended the
period of reservation for further ten years till 2020.
 As per the 87th Amendment Act, 2003, the number of seats to be reserved for the
Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
shall be on the basis of 2001 census.
Election Process for the Rajya Sabha:
 Rajya Sabha is the Upper House of Parliament, which cannot have more than 250
members. Members of Rajya Sabha are not elected by the people directly. They are
elected by the members of the legislative assemblies of the states in accordance with the
system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.
 Twelve members of the Rajya Sabha are nominated by the President, who has earned
distinction in the fields of literature, art, science and social service.
 Rajya Sabha is a permanent body. It is not subject to dissolution but one-third of its
members retire after every two years. At present, Rajya Sabha comprises of 245
members.

being, a member of either House of Parliament:
 If he holds any office of profit under Government of India or any state.

 If he is not a citizen of India or if has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a foreign
state or acknowledges his allegiance or adherence to a foreign state.

The parliament has prescribed a number of additional disqualifications in the Representation of

People Act, 1951, In addition to these, the Tenth Schedule to constitution provides for
disqualification of the members on ground of defection.
Elections Process for the State Legislative Assemblies
Direct Election: The legislative assembly is composed of representatives of the people chosen
by direct election on the basis of the universal adult suffrage. The maximum strength is fixed at
500 and minimum strength at 60.

of elections. One member of legislative assembly is elected from each constituency.

number of seats in the legislative assembly of each state and the division of each state into
territorial constituencies.

exceed one-third of the total number of members in the legislative assembly of the state.
