SECTION-A
(Very Short Answer Questions) 2×5=10
1. Who had designed the ‘swaraj flag’ by 1921? Explain the main features of this ‘swaraj flag’. 2
Ans. By 1921, Mahatma Gandhi had designed the ‘swaraj flag’. During the Swadeshi movement in Bengal, a tricolour
flag (red, green and yellow) was designed. It had eight lotuses representing eight provinces of British India and a
crescent moon, representing Hindus and Muslims. In 1921, it was again a tricolour (red, green and white) and had
a shining wheel at the centre, representating the Gandhian ideal of self-help. Carrying the ‘swaraj flag’, holding it
aloft, during marches became a symbol of defiance.
2. What are called cooperative sector industries? Give examples. 2
Ans. Cooperative sector industries are owned and operated by the producers or suppliers of raw materials, workers or
both. Examples — the sugar industry in Maharashtra, the coir industry in Kerala.
3. Write a short note on one-party system or single party system. 2
Ans. In some countries only one-party is allowed to control and run the government. These are called one party system.
For example, China has a single party—Communist Party. One-party system is not a good option because it is not
a democratic option. In the countries having one party system, the liberty of the individual is lost because people
are deprived of the right of electing representatives. There is one candidate in whose favour all the citizens have
to vote. It cannot be called as elections in real sense.
4. In situations with high risks, credit might create further problems for the borrower. Explain. 2
Ans. At times repayment of the loan becomes difficult and credit instead of improving the earnings, pushes the borrower
into a situation from which recovery is very difficult and painful. This situation is called debt-trap. Then the borrower
is forced to give up his collateral or asset used as the guarantee to the lender.

5.1 Why are railways the principal mode of transportation in India? (1)
5.2 How many kilometres of route are covered by railways? (1)
Ans. 5.1 Railways are the principal mode of transportation because railways conduct multifarious activities like
business, sightseeing, pilgrimage along with transportation of goods over longer distances and transport
freight and passengers to one place to another
5.2 The Indian Railway network runs or multiple gauge operations which extending over 68,442 km.
SECTION-B
(Short Answer Type Questions) 3×3=9
6. What does credit mean? What are the terms of the credit? 3
Ans. Credit refers to an agreement in which lender supplies the borrowers with money, goods and services in return for
the promise of future payments. Terms of credit includes the following:
(i) Interest rate (ii) Collateral
(iii) Documentation requirement (iv) Mode of payment.
These terms of credit vary substantially from one credit arrangement to another. They may vary depending on the
nature of lender and borrower. Every loan agreement specifies an interest rate which the borrower has to pay to
the lender along with the repayment of the principal. In addition to this lenders may demand collateral (security)
against the loans.
OR
Mention three limitations of the barter system. 3
Ans. The three limitations of the barter system are:
(i) Lack of double coincidence of wants. It means, both the parties have to agree to sell and buy each others’
commodities.
(ii) Valuations of all the goods cannot be done easily.
(iii) There are certain products which cannot be divided.
7. How did the Non-Cooperation Movement spread in cities across the country? 3
Ans. (i) The movement started with middle class participations in the cities.

and lawyers gave up their legal practices.
(iii) The council elections were boycotted in most provinces, except Madras.
(iv) Foreign goods were boycotted, liquor shops were picketed, foreign clothes were burnt in bonfires.
8. What is a multi-party system? Why has India adopted a multi-party system? Explain. 3
Ans. If several parties compete for power, and more than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power
either on their own strength or in alliance with others, we call it a multiparty system.
India, adopted multi-party system, because
(i) The social and geographical diversity in such a large country is not easily absorbed by two or even three
parties.
(ii) This system allows a variety of interest and opinions to enjoy political representation.
(iii) Multi-parties have their own policies. They keep people informed about the political activity.
SECTION-C
(Long Answer Type Questions) 5×2=10
9. What are the various characteristics of democracy? 5

Ans. Characteristics of democracy:
8 n Social Science-X
(i) Democracy gives power to people to elect their government, control it and remove it from power. It allows
people to choose their representatives through elections and ensures that all its citizens have a say in the
functioning of the government.
(ii) There is no monopoly of power by a person or a party. Different political parties compete with each other
in a democratic form of government. If the government does not fulfil its promises or fails to live up to the
expectations of the people, then it is very likely that it will not get re-elected.
(iii) Democracy ensures that the rights of its people are protected by the state and the government functions
according to the laws.
(iv) In a democratic set up, there is no distinction between people based on race, religion, caste, colour or birth.
Equal opportunities are provided to all – to be educated, to grow as good citizens and to earn their living.
(v) Criticism and feedback are two important mechanism of democracy to control the government. The government's
policies are scrutinised and evaluated by the people through the media and the opposition parties.
OR
‘Democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation’. Examine the statement.
Ans. Democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation because:
(i) Democracy gives importance to deliberation and public opinion.
(ii) The democratic government will take more time to follow procedures before arriving at a decision.
(iii) Its decisions may be both more acceptable to the people and more effective.
(iv) Democracy ensures that decision making will be based on norms and procedures.
(v) Transparency as Persons have the right and the means to examine the process of decision-making.
(vi) It follows procedures and is accountable to the people.
(vii) The democratic government develops mechanisms for citizens to hold the government accountable.
(viii) Democratic government follows mechanisms for citizens to take part in decision making whenever they think
fit.
10. What are the factors that multinational companies take into account before setting up a factory in different countries?
5
Ans. Before setting up a company or a factory an MNC takes into account the following things:
(i) Availability of cheap labour and other resources: MNCs set up offices and factories for production in
various regions of the world where cheap labour and other resources are available in order to earn greater
profit. For example: MNC may spread its production activities to the following countries – USA for designing
a product, China for manufacturing components etc. By doing so it is able to reduce the cost of production.
(ii) Partnership with local companies: MNCs set up partnership with local companies, by a closely competing
with local companies or buying local companies for supply. As a result, production in these widely dispersed
locations gets interlinked.
(iii) Favourable government policy: If the government policies are favourable it helps MNCs. For example
flexibility of labour laws will reduce cost of production. MNCs are able to hire worker on casual and contractual
wages for a short period instead of a regular basis. This reduces the cost of labour for the company and
increases its margin of profit.
OR
“Fair globalisation would create opportunities for all and also ensure that benefits of globalisation are shared better.”
Support the statement.
Ans. Fair globalisation would create opportunities for all and also ensure that benefits of globalisation are shared better
because:
(i) Government policies must protect the interests not only of the rich and powerful but of all the people in the
country.
(ii) Government can ensure that labour laws are properly implemented and the workers get their rights.
(iii) Government can support small producers to improve their performance till they become strong enough to
compete.
(iv) If necessary the government can use trade and investment barriers.
Practice Paper–1 n 9
(v) It can negotiate at the WTO for fairer rules.

(vi) It can also align with other developing countries with similar interests to fight against the domination of
developed countries in the WTO.
SECTION-D
(Case Based Questions) 4×2=8
11. Read the given text and answer the following questions: 4
In earlier times, foreign travellers in India marvelled at the courage, truthfulness and modesty of the people of
the Arya Vamsa, now they remark mainly on the absence of those qualities. In those days Hindus would set out
on conquest and hoist their flags in Tartar, China and other countries; now a few soldiers from a tiny island far
away are lording it over the land of India.’
11.1 Who discussed about foreign travellers and ‘Arya Vamsa’? (1)
11.2 Mention the qualities of ‘Arya Vamsa’ that were admired by the foreign travellers in earlier times. (1)
11.3 How did folklore help in the spread of nationalism amongst the Indian? Explain. (2)
Ans. 11.1 Taricharan Chattopadhyay.
11.2 The foreign travellers in earlier times admired the qualities like courage, truthfulness and modesty of the
people of the ‘Arya Vamsa’.
11.3 In the late nineteenth-century India, nationalists began recording folk tales sung by bards and they toured
villages to gather folk songs and legends. These tales, they believed, gave a true picture of traditional culture
that had been corrupted by outside forces. It was essential to preserve this folk tradition in order to discover
one’s national identity. In Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore led the movement for folk revival. In Madras, Natesa
Sastri published a four-volume collection of Tamil Folk tales, The Folklore of Southern India.
For a long time, trade and transport were restricted to a limited space. With the development in science and
technology, the area of influence of trade and transport expanded far and wide. Today, the world has been
converted into a large village with the help of efficient and fast moving transport. Transport has been able to
achieve this with the help of equally developed communication system. Therefore, transport, communication
and trade are complementary to each other.
Today, India is well-linked with the rest of the world despite its vast size, diversity and linguistic and socio-
cultural plurality. Railways, airways, waterways, newspapers, radio, television, cinema and internet, etc. have
been contributing to its socioeconomic progress in many ways. The trades from local to international levels
have added to the vitality of its economy. It has enriched our life and added substantially to growing amenities
and facilities for the comforts of life.
12.1 What do you mean by the term Global village? (1)

12.2 Infer the importance of transport and communication. (1)
12.3 How has transport and communication enriched our life? (2)
Ans. 12.1 Due to the development in transport and communication there is more interconnectedness and thus the
world has shrank. This idea is referred to as global village.
12.2 Development in transport helped in the movement of people and goods from the supply locations to the
demand locations. The development in communication has made the access easier and the whole world is
now just a click away.
12.3 With the development in transport and communication the area of influence of trade has expanded far and
wide. It helped in interlinking of the world. It has contributed in the socio-economic progress. This has
enabled the process of globalisation. Now producers are reaching beyond their domestic market resulting
in better quality of goods with great variety at cheaper price to the consumers.

SECTION-A
1. Why Gandhiji decided to withdraw the Non-Cooperation Movement? 2

Ans. In February 1922, at Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur, a peaceful demonstration in a bazaar turned into a violent clash
with the police. In this incident, several British police officers were killed. Hearing of this incident, Mahatma
Gandhi called off the Non-Cooperation Movement. He felt that the movement was turning violent in many places
which he never approved in any circumstances and Satyagrahi needed to be properly trained before they would
be ready for mass struggles.
2. What is communication? Name its two types. 2
Ans. Communication refers to exchange of ideas, messages, emotions, either written or oral, from one place to another.
There are two ways of communication personal communication and mass communication.
3. Describe the sources of inspiration of BJP, INC and BSP. 2
Ans. BJP draws inspiration from India’s ancient culture and values.
INC draws inspiration from secularism. BSP draws inspiration from the ideas and teachings of Sahu Maharaj,
Mahatma Phule, Periyar Ramaswami Naicker and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.
4. Classify industries according to their main role. How are they different from each other? 2
Ans. According to their main role, industries are of two types:
(i) Basic or Key: Industries which supply their raw materials to manufacture other goods.
Example: Iron and steel, copper smelting, aluminium smelting.
(ii) Consumer: Industries produce goods for direct use by consumers.
Example: Sugar, toothpaste, paper, sewing machines, etc.

5.2 Collateral is an asset that the borrower owns (such as land, building, vehicle, livestocks, deposits with banks)
and uses this as a guarantee to a lender until the loan is repaid.
SECTION-B
6. Why are transactions made in money? Explain with suitable examples. 3

Ans. Money can easily exchange it for good and services. The modern forms of currency like notes (or rupees), cheques
or drafts are merely papers which are issued by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of the central government.
Everyone prefers to receive payments in money and then exchange the money for things they want. For example,
take the case of a blacksmith. He wants to sell tools in the market and buy rice. The blacksmith will first exchange
tools that he has produced for money and then exchange the money for rice.
The transactions are made in money because a person holding money can easily exchange it for any commodity
or service that he or she wants.
OR
What are the functions of the Self-Help Groups?
Ans. Functions of the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are:
SHGs are becoming popular for the following reasons:
(i) They help borrowers overcome the problem of lack of collateral.
(ii) They can get timely loans for variety of purposes and at a reasonable interest rate.
(iii) They are building blocks of the organisation of the rural poor.
(iv) It helps women to become self-reliant.
(v) The regular meetings of the group provide a platform to discuss and act on various social issues such as health,
nutrition, domestic violence,
7. Name the three main ‘Satyagraha Movement’ organised by Mahatma Gandhi successfully in favour of peasants
in 1916 and 1917. 3
Ans. (i) Champaran: In 1917, he travelled to Champaran in Bihar to inspire the peasants to struggle against the
exploitative plantation system.
(ii) Kheda: In 1917, he organised a Satyagraha Movement in support of the Kheda peasants in Gujarat. These
peasants were very much worried due to crop failure and a plague epidemic. Since they could not pay the
revenue, they demanded relaxation in revenue collection.
(iii) Ahmedabad: In 1918, he went to Ahmedabad to organise Satyagraha movement among the workers of cotton
mills.
8.
“Lack of internal democracy within parties is the major challenge to political parties all over the world.” Analyse
the statement. 3
Ans. All over the world there is a tendency in political parties towards the concentration of power in one or a few leaders
at the top. Parties do not keep membership registers, do not hold organisational meetings, and do not conduct
internal elections regularly. Ordinary members of the party do not get sufficient information on what happens inside
the party. They do not have the means or the concessions needed to influence the decisions. As a result the leaders
assume greater power to make decisions in the name of the party. Since one or few leaders exercise paramount
power in the party, those who disagree with the leadership find it difficult to continue in the party. More than loyalty
to party principles and policies, personal loyalty to the leader becomes more important.
SECTION-C
9. Economic development of a country depends on which factors and what is the role of democracy in it? 5
Ans. In the matters of economic development, all the democracies did not get equally developed because of various
factors like; population, lack of basic infrastructure, etc. Between 1950 and 2000, dictatorships have slightly higher
rate of economic growth. The difference in the rates of economic development between less developed countries
with dictatorships and democracies is negligible. Overall, democracy is not a guarantee of economic development.
Economic development depends on several factors:
(i) Country’s population size
(ii) Global situation
(iii) Cooperation from other countries
(iv) Economic priorities adopted by the country. Democracy does not appear to be successful in reducing economic
inequalities. A small number of ultra rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and income. Their
share in total income is increasing. People at the bottom of society have very little to depend on.
OR
Explain how democracies lead to peaceful and harmonious life among citizens.
Ans. No society can fully and permanently resolve conflicts among different groups. But we can certainly learn to respect
these differences, and we can also evolve mechanisms to negotiate the differences. Democracy is best suited to
produce this outcome. Nondemocratic regimes often turn a blind eye to or suppress internal social differences.
Ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts is thus a definite plus point of democratic regimes.
Democracy continues to be democracy as long as all citizens have a chance to be part of the majority at any point
of time. If someone is debarred from being part of majority on the basis of birth then democracy is said to be
concentrated in few hands. Example of Sri Lanka reminds us that a democracy must fulfil two conditions in order
to achieve this outcome:
(i) It is necessary to understand that democracy is not simply rule by majority opinion. The majority always
needs to work with the minority so that government can function to represent the opinion of common people.
(ii) The rule of majority does not become the rule by majority on the basis of religion or race or linguistic group,
etc. Rule by majority means that in case of every decision or in case of every election, different persons and
groups may form a majority.
10. Explain both positive and negative impact of globalisation on India. 5
Ans. Globalisation has positive as well as negative impacts on our country’s development.
Positive impact of globalisation on India–
(i) Availability of variety of products which enabled the consumers to have greater choice and enjoy improved
quality and lower prices for several products. This led to higher standard of living.
(ii) Increase in foreign direct investment.
(iii) Top Indian companies have been benefited by investing in new technology and production methods along
with successful collaborations with foreign companies.
(iv) Globalisation has enabled some large Indian company to emerge as multinationals themselves. For example,
Tata Motors, Infosys, Ranbaxy etc.
(v) Enabled some large Indian companies to emerge as multinationals.

(vi) Created new opportunities for companies providing services, particularly those involving IT.
Negative impact of globalisation on India–
(i) Small producers failed to compete and got perished. Rising competition has led to shutting down of many
units. Many workers became jobless. For instance, batteries, capacitors, plastics, toys, dairy products and
vegetable oils are the examples of the industries which have been hit hard due to tough competition.
(ii) Globalisation and pressure of competition have substantially changed the lives of workers. Faced with growing
competition most employers these days prefer to employ workers ‘flexibly’. This means that workers’ jobs
are no longer secure.
OR
‘Rapid improvement in technology has been one major factor that has stimulated the globalisation process. Explain.
Ans. Rapid improvement in technology has been one major factor that has stimulated the globalisation process. For
instance, the past fifty years have seen several improvements in transportation technology. This has made much
faster delivery of goods across long distances possible at lower costs.
Even more remarkable have been the developments in information and communication technology. In the
recent times, technology in the areas of telecommunication, computers, Internet has been changing rapidly.
Telecommunication facilities (Telephones, mobile phones, fax, etc.) are used to contact one another around the
world, to access information instantly, and to communicate from remote areas. This has been facilitated by satellite
communication devices. Computers have now entered almost every field of activity. Internet allows us to send
instant electronic mail (e-mail) and talk (voice mail) across the world at negligible costs.
We can place order for a variety of things through the phone or the internet, and goods are delivered at your home.
SECTION-D
‘It is said of “passive resistance” that it is the weapon of the weak, but the power which is the subject of this
article can be used only by the strong. This power is not passive resistance; indeed it calls for intense activity.
The movement in South Africa was not passive but active... ‘Satyagraha is not physical force. A satyagrahi
does not inflict pain on the adversary; he does not seek his destruction... In the use of satyagraha, there is no
ill-will whatever. ‘ Satyagraha is pure soul-force. Truth is the very substance of the soul. That is why this force
is called satyagraha. The soul is informed with knowledge. In it burns the flame of love. ...Non-violence is the
supreme dharma... ‘It is certain that India cannot rival Britain or Europe in force of arms. The British worship
the war-god and they can all of them become, as they are becoming, bearers of arms. The hundreds of millions
in India can never carry arms. They have made the religion of non-violence their own...’
11.1 What describe the term Satyagrahi? Who started the idea of Satyagraha? (1)
11.2 What is the motive behind the passive resistance? (1)
11.3 What are the concept of Satyagraha? (2)
Ans. 11.1 Passive resistance describe the term Satyagrahi. Mahatma Gandhi started the idea of Satyagraha.
11.2 Motive behind the passive resistance are is not a physical force and non-violence is the supreme dharma.
A Satyagrahi does not inflict pain on the adversary.
11.3 The concept of Satyagraha:
(i) It emphasises the power of truth and the need to search of truth.
(ii) It the struggle is against injustice then physical force is not necessary to fight.
Manufacturing industries not only help in modernising agriculture, which forms the backbone of our economy,
they also reduce the heavy dependence of people on agricultural income by providing them jobs in secondary
and tertiary sectors. Industrial development is a precondition for eradication of unemployment and poverty from
our country. This was the main philosophy behind public sector industries and joint sector ventures in India. It
was also aimed at bringing down regional disparities by establishing industries in tribal and backward areas.
Export of manufactured goods expands trade and commerce, and brings in much needed foreign exchange.
Countries that transform their raw materials into a wide variety of finished goods of higher value are prosperous.
India’s prosperity lies in increasing and diversifying its manufacturing industries as quickly as possible.
12.1 How does manufacturing industries help in modernising agriculture? (1)

12.2 Infer the importance of the manufacturing industries. (1)
12.3 How does the manufacturing industries bring down the regional disparity? (2)
Ans. 12.1 Manufacturing industries provides modern tools, machines, HYV seeds, chemical fertilisers, pesticides etc.
to agriculture and thus making agriculture modern.
12.2 Manufacturing industries are the backbone of our economy. It provides modern tools and machines to all
the other industries and thus helping in increasing the production and making the production process easy.
12.3 Regional disparity simply means difference between two regions which may be in any terms. The tribal and
the backward areas of India are far away from development process in comparison to the other areas of the
country. If we set up the modern industries in these tribal and backward areas there people of that area will
get employment, their income will rise and there would be reduction in poverty in such areas.

Ans. In some countries power usually changes between two major parties. Several other parties exist, contest elections
and win a few seats in the legislature. But only two main parties have a serious chance of winning and forming
government. For example, countries like UK, Canada, England and US follow two-party system. In this type of
party system, the winning party forms the government and the other party forms the opposition.

How many jute mills are there in India? Where are most of them located? Mention one challenge faced by the jute
industry. 2
Ans. There are about 78 jute mills in India. Most of them are located in West Bengal, mainly along the banks of the
Hugli river, in a narrow belt. Stiff competition in the international market from synthetic substitutes and from other
competitors like Bangladesh, Brazil, etc.

Study the diagram given below and answer the following questions: 2
5.1 Which are the two major sources of credit for rural households in India? (1)
5.2 Who is it the most dominant source of credit in rural household? Give one reasons. (1)
Ans. 5.1 Moneylenders and cooperative societies are the two major sources of credit for rural households in India.
5.2 Moneylenders are the most dominant sources of credit for rural households. It is so, because rural households
need not to produce certificate of their earning or documents of their employment while borrowing money
from the money lenders.
SECTION-B
6. Why is cheap and affordable credit important for the country’s development? Explain three reasons. 3
Ans. Cheap and affordable credit is important for the country’s development because of the following reasons:
(i) This would lead to higher incomes and many people could then borrow cheaply for a variety of needs.
(ii) They could grow crops, do business, set up small scale industries, etc.
(iii) They could set up new industries or trade. All these lead to the country’s development.
OR
How is money transferred from one bank account to another bank account? Explain with an example.
Ans. If a person has to make a payment to his or her friend and writes a cheque for a specific amount, this means that
the person instructs his bank to pay this amount to his friend. His friend takes this cheque and deposits it in his
account in the bank. This said amount is transferred from one bank account to another bank account.
7. “The Congress was reluctant to include the demands of industrial workers in its programme of struggle.” Analyse
the reasons. 3
Ans. The Congress was reluctant to include the demands of industrial workers in its programme of struggle, because:
(i) The industrial working classes did not participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement in large numbers,
except in the Nagpur region.
(ii) As the industrialists came closer to the Congress, workers stayed aloof.
(iii) The Congress felt that by including workers’ demands as part of its programme of struggle it would alienate
industrialists and divide the anti-imperial forces.
8. “Lack of internal democracy is a challenge to the efficient functioning of Indian political parties.” Support the
statement with examples. 3
Ans. Lack of internal democracy is a challenge to the efficient functioning of Indian political parties. It is so because:
(i) Ordinary members of the party do not get sufficient information on what happens inside the party. They do not
have the means or the connections needed to influence the decisions. As a result, the leaders assume greater
power to make decisions in the name of the party.
(ii) Since one or a few leaders exercise paramount power in the party, those who disagree with the leadership find
it difficult to continue in the party.
(iii) More than loyalty to party principles and policies, personal loyalty to the leaders becomes more important.
SECTION-C
9. Explain the consequences on which democracy has failed. 5

Ans. Consequences on which democracy has failed:
(i) If democracies are expected to produce good governments, then it is fair to expect that they would also produce
development evidence shows that in practice many democracies did fulfil this expectation. The inability of
democracy to achieve higher economic development worries us.
(ii) Democracy is the government of the people hence, one can expect it to reduce economic disparities. But, it
is a bitter truth that even when a country achieves economic growth, wealth is not distributed in such a way
that all citizens of the country will have a share and lead a better life. Most of the democrats of the world
have miserably failed on this issue.
(iii) Democracies have also failed on the issue of poverty reduction. A smaller number of ultra rich enjoy a highly
disproportionate share of wealth and incomes. Those at the bottom of the society have very little to depend
upon. Their incomes have been declining.
(iv) Democracies often frustrate the needs of the people and often ignore the demands of a majority of its population.
The routine talks of corruption are enough to convince us that democracy is not free of this evil.
OR
“Some people think that democracy produces a less effective government.” Analyse the statement.
Ans. It is true some people think that democracy produces a less effective government because:
(i) Non-democratic rulers do not have to bother about deliberation in assemblies or worry about majorities and
public opinion.
(ii) They can be very quick and efficient in decision making and implementation.
(iii) But democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation. So, some delay is bound to take place.
(iv) Most democracies fall short of elections that provide a fair chance to everyone.
(v) Democratic governments do not have a very good record when it comes to sharing information with citizens.
(vi) Democracies often frustrate the needs of the people and often ignore the demands of a majority of its population.
10. Why are trade barriers imposed on a foreign trade and investment in a country? Explain with the help of two
illustrations. 5
Ans. Trade barriers are imposed on the foreign trade and foreign investment in a country so that goods could be imported
and exported easily and foreign companies could set up factories and offices here. Trade barrier means restrictions
imposed on import and export of goods. It is so called because some restrictions have been set up. The trade barriers
provide protection to domestic goods from foreign competition. The government can use barriers to increase or
decrease (regulate) foreign trade and to decide what kind of goods and services and how much of each should
come into the country.
Reasons for putting barriers to foreign trade and foreign investment by the Indian Government were:
(i) To protect the domestic producers within the country from foreign competition.
(ii) The competition from importers would have crippled the new-born industries of India. In such a situation,
imports of only such commodities were allowed which were quite necessary such as machinery, fertilisers,
petroleum, etc.
(iii) During 1950s and 1960s, competition from imports was giving a death blow to growing industries in India.
Hence, India allowed imports of only essential goods.
Benefits of foreign trade are:
(i) With the opening of trade, goods travel from one market to another.
(ii) Choice of goods in markets rises.
(iii) Prices of similar goods in two markets tend to become equal.

(iv) Producers in the two countries now closely compete against each other even though they are at the distance
of thousands of miles.
For example, production of cars by Ford Motors in India would lead to interlinking of production. Ford Motors
will produce various car components in India.
Some other components may be produced elsewhere on the globe. Components produced in India will be shipped
to Ford factories outside India. Components and other resources will be shipped to India for automobiles to be
produced in India. All these processes will result in the interlinking of production.
OR
Technology has stimulated the globalisation process.” Support the statement with examples.
Ans. Rapid improvement in technology has stimulated the globalisation process:
(i) Transportation technology has made much faster delivery of goods across long distances possible at lower
costs.
(ii) There are even more remarkable developments in information and communication technology.
(iii) Telecommunication facilities are used to contact one another around the world, to access information instantly,
and to communicate from remote areas.
(iv) Through internet, one can obtain and share information on almost anything. It also allows to send e-mail and
talk across the world at negligible costs.
For example, a news magazine published for London readers is to be designed and printed in Delhi. The text
of the magazine is sent through Internet to the Delhi office. The designers in the Delhi office get orders on
how to design the magazine from the office in London using telecommunication facilities. The designing is
done on a computer. After printing, the magazines are sent by air to London. Even the payment of money for
designing and printing from a bank in London to a bank in Delhi is done instantly through the Internet.
SECTION-D
Another means of creating a feeling of nationalism was through reinterpretation of history. By the end of the
nineteenth century many Indians began feeling that to instill a sense of pride in the nation, Indian history had
to be thought about differently. The British saw Indians as backward and primitive, incapable of governing
themselves. In response, Indians began looking into the past to discover India’s great achievements. They wrote
about the glorious developments in ancient times when art and architecture, science and mathematics, religion
and culture, law and philosophy, crafts and trade had flourished. This glorious time, in their view, was followed
by a history of decline, when India was colonised. These nationalist histories urged the readers to take pride in
India’s great achievements in the past and struggle to change the miserable conditions of life under British rule.
11.1 What was the main factor in the emergence of modern nationalism in India? (1)
11.2 What was the response of Indians when British saw Indians backward and primitive? (1)
11.3 How was the idea or feeling of nationalism created through reinterpretation or revival of Indian history?(2)
Ans. 11.1 Anti-colonial movement.
11.2 Indians started looking into the past to discover India’s great achievements. They wrote about the glorious
development in ancient times when art and architecture, science and mathematics, religion and culture, land
and philosophy, craft and trade had florished.
11.3 The idea or feeling of nationalism created through reinterpretation or revival of Indian history through:
(i) The British always described Indians as backwards, uncivilised and incapable of ruling themselves.
(ii) The nationalist historians urged the readers to take pride in India’s great achievements and struggle
to change the miserable conditions of India.
Today, the world has been coverted into a large village with the help of efficient and fast moving transport.
Transport has been able to achieve this with the help of equally developed communication system. Therefore,
transport, communication and trade are complementary to each other. Today, India is well-linked with the
rest of the world despite its vast size, diversity and linguistic and sociocultural plurality. Railways, airways,
waterways, newspapers, radio, television, cinema and internet, etc. have been contributing to its socio-economic
progress in many ways. The trade from local to international levels have added to the vitality of its economy.
It has enriched our life and added substantially to growing amenities and facilities for the comforts of life.
The modern means of transport and communication serve as lifelines of our nation and its modern economy.
It is thus, evident that a dense and efficient network of transport and communication is a prequisite for local,
national and global trade of today.
12.1 How has the world been covered into a large village? (1)
12.2 What is the significance of means of transport as communication for socio-economic progress? (1)
12.3 What is pre-requisite for the fast development of a nation? (2)
Ans. 12.1 The world has been covered into a large village with the help of efficient and fast moving transport. Transport
achieve this with the help of equally developed communication system.
12.2 The modern means of transport and communication serve as lifelines of our nation and its modern economy.
It is thus, the efficient network of transport and communication pre-requisite for the fast development of a
nation.
12.3 The significance of means of transport as communication for socio-economic progress are:
(i) It creates job opportunities.
(ii) It helps to grow economy.
(iii) It also helps in the interlinking the world.

Mahatma Gandhi returned to India in January 1915. As you know, he had come from South Africa where he
had successfully fought the racist regime with a novel method of mass agitation, which he called satyagraha.
The idea of satyagraha emphasised the power of truth and the need to search for truth. It suggested that if the
cause was true, if the struggle was against injustice, then physical force was not necessary to fight the oppressor.
Without seeking vengeance or being aggressive, a satyagrahi could win the battle through non-violence. This
could be done by appealing to the conscience of the oppressor. People – including the oppressors – had to be
persuaded to see the truth, instead of being forced to accept truth through the use of violence. By this struggle,
truth was bound to ultimately triumph. Mahatma Gandhi believed that this dharma of non-violence could unite
all Indians. After arriving in India, Mahatma Gandhi successfully organised satyagraha movements in various
places. In 1917 he travelled to Champaran in Bihar to inspire the peasants to struggle against the oppressive
plantation system. Then in 1917, he organised a satyagraha to support the peasants of the Kheda district of
Gujarat. Affected by crop failure and a plague epidemic, the peasants of Kheda could not pay the revenue, and
were demanding that revenue collection be relaxed. In 1918, Mahatma Gandhi went to Ahmedabad to organise
a satyagraha movement amongst cotton mill workers.

11.2 From where Gandhiji successfully fought the racist? When did Gandhiji return to India? (1)
11.3 Briefly explain the idea of Satayagraha. (2)
Kandla in Kuchchh was the first port developed soon after Independence to ease the volume of trade on the
Mumbai port, in the wake of loss of Karachi port to Pakistan after the Partition. Kandla also known as the
Deendayal Port, is a tidal port. It caters to the convenient handling of exports and imports of highly productive
granary and industrial belt stretching across the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir and states of Himachal
Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat. Mumbai is the biggest port with a spacious natural and well-
sheltered harbour. The Jawaharlal Nehru port was planned with a view to decongest the Mumbai port and serve
as a hub port for this region. Marmagao port (Goa) is the premier iron ore exporting port of the country. This
port accounts for about fifty per cent of India’s iron ore export. New Mangalore port, located in Karnataka caters
to the export of iron ore concentrates from Kudremukh mines. Kochi is the extreme south-western port, located
at the entrance of a lagoon with a natural harbour. Moving along the east coast, you would see the extreme
south-eastern port of Tuticorin, in Tamil Nadu. This port has a natural harbour and rich hinterland. Thus, it has
a flourishing trade handling of a large variety of cargoes to even our neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka,
Maldives, etc. and the coastal regions of India. Chennai is one of the oldest artificial ports of the country. It is
ranked next to Mumbai in terms of the volume of trade and cargo. Vishakhapatnam is the deepest landlocked
and well-protected port. This port was, originally, conceived as an outlet for iron ore exports. Paradwip port
located in Odisha, specialises in the export of iron ore. Kolkata is an inland riverine port. This port serves a
very large and rich hinterland of Ganga- Brahmaputra basin. Being a tidal port, it requires constant dredging of
Hoogly. Haldia port was developed as a subsidiary port, in order to relieve growing pressure on the Kolkata port.

The movement started with middle-class participation in the cities. Thousands of students left government-
controlled schools and colleges, headmasters and teachers resigned, and lawyers gave up their legal practices.
The council elections were boycotted in most provinces except Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of the
27
non-Brahmans, felt that entering the council was one way of gaining some power–something that usually only
Brahmans had access to. The effects of non-cooperation on the economic front were more dramatic. Foreign
goods were 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 Rs. 102 crore to Rs. 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.

The exchange of goods among people, states and countries is referred to as trade. The market is the place where
such exchanges take place. Trade between two countries is called international trade. It may take place through
sea, air or land routes. While local trade is carried in cities, towns and villages, state level trade is carried between
two or more states. Advancement of international trade of a country is an index to its economic prosperity. It
is, therefore, considered the economic barometer for a country. As the resources are space bound, no country
can survive without international trade. Export and import are the components of trade. The balance of trade
of a country is the difference between its export and import. When the value of export exceeds the value of
imports, it is called a favourable balance of trade. On the contrary, if the value of imports exceeds the value of
exports, it is termed as unfavourable balance of trade.

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.

Manufacturing industries not only help in modernising agriculture, which forms the backbone of our economy,
they also reduce the heavy dependence of people on agricultural income by providing them jobs in secondary and
tertiary sectors. Industrial development is a precondition for eradication of unemployment and poverty from our
country. This was the main philosophy behind public sector industries and joint sector ventures in India. It was
also aimed at bringing down regional disparities by establishing industries in tribal and backward areas. Export
of manufactured goods expands trade and commerce, and brings in much needed foreign exchange. Countries
that transform their raw materials into a wide variety of finished goods of higher value are prosperous. India’s
prosperity lies in increasing and diversifying its manufacturing industries as quickly as possible. Agriculture
and industry are not exclusive of each other. They move hand in hand. For instance, the agro-industries in India
have given a major boost to agriculture by raising its productivity.

Over the last two decades, the share of manufacturing sector has stagnated at 17 per cent of GDP – out of a
total of 27 per cent for the industry which includes 10 per cent for mining, quarrying, electricity and gas. This
is much lower in comparison to some East Asian economies, where it is 25 to 35 per cent. The trend of growth
rate in manufacturing over the last decade has been around 7 per cent per annum. The desired growth rate over
the next decade is 12 per cent. Since 2003, manufacturing is once again growing at the rate of 9 to 10 per cent
per annum. With appropriate policy interventions by the government and renewed efforts by the industry to
improve productivity, economists predict that manufacturing can achieve its target over the next decade. The
National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council (NMCC) has been set up with this objective.

In 1930, Sir Muhammad Iqbal, as president of the Muslim League, reiterated the importance of separate electorate
for the Muslims as an important safeguard for their minority political interests. His statement is supposed to
have provided the intellectual justification for the Pakistan demand that came up in subsequent years. This is
what he said: ‘I have no hesitation in declaring that if the principle that the Indian Muslim is entitled to full
and free development on the lines of his own culture and tradition in his own Indian home-lands is recognised
as the basis of a permanent communal settlement, he will be ready to stake his all for the freedom of India.
The principle that each group is entitled to free development on its own lines is not inspired by any feeling of
narrow communalism... A community which is inspired by feelings of ill-will towards other communities is
low and ignoble. I entertain the highest respect for the customs, laws, religions and social institutions of other
communities. Nay, it is may duty according to the teachings of the Quran, even to defend their places of worship,
if need be. Yet I love the communal group which is the source of life and behaviour and which has formed me
what I am by giving me its religion, its literature, its thought, its culture and thereby its whole past as a living
operative factor in my present consciousness... ‘Communalism in its higher aspect, then, is indispensable to
the formation of a harmonious whole in a country like India. The units of Indian society are not territorial as
in European countries... The principle of European democracy cannot be applied to India without recognising
the fact of communal groups. The Muslim India within India is, therefore, perfectly justified... ‘The Hindu
thinks that separate electorates are contrary to the spirit to true nationalism, because he understands the word
“nation” to mean a kind of universal amalgamation in which no communal entity ought to retain its private
individuality. Such a state of things, however, does not exist. India is a land of racial and religious variety. Add
to this the general economic inferiority of the Muslims, their enormous debt, especially in the Punjab, and their
insufficient majorities in some of the provinces, as at present constituted and you will begin to see clearly the
meaning of our anxiety to retain separate electorates.’

‘We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to
enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth.

further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people
of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically,
politically, culturally, and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and
attain Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence.’

Many nationalists thought that the struggle against the British could not be won through non-violence. In 1928,
the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA) was founded at a meeting in Ferozeshah Kotla ground in
Delhi. Amongst its leaders were Bhagat Singh, Jatin Das and Ajoy Ghosh. In a series of dramatic actions in
different parts of India, the HSRA targeted some of the symbols of British power. In April 1929, Bhagat Singh
and Batukeswar Dutta threw a bomb in the Legislative Assembly. In the same year there was an attempt to
blow up the train that Lord Irwin was travelling in. Bhagat Singh was 23 when he was tried and executed by
the colonial government. During his trial, Bhagat Singh stated that he did not wish to glorify ‘the cult of the
bomb and pistol’ but wanted a revolution in society:
‘Revolution is the inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is the imprescriptible birthright of all. The labourer
is the real sustainer of society ... To the altar of this revolution we have brought our youth as incense, for no
sacrifice is too great for so magnificent a cause. We are content. We await the advent of revolution. Inquilab

destruction ... In the use of satyagraha, there is no ill-will whatever.
