Dear Students
India one of the world's oldest civilizations, is an all-embracing
confluence of religions, traditions and customs. The highlights of
Indian heritage lie in the treasure of its art, architecture, classical
dance, music, flora and fauna, and the innate secular philosophy of
its people. In an attempt to make us aware and proud of our rich
past and present, the holiday homework of Class XII-XII has
been designed keeping in mind the gems of our country and savour the
indigenous flavour of the soil.
When the world is embracing technology, it becomes desideratum that
we make every effort possible towards educating the future of the land
about their past. Our endeavour is to stretch the thinking skills of the
students. To achieve this goal we have dedicated our holiday
homework to renewed ancient Indian polymath Chankaya who is
traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnugupt. We hope you will
join hands with us and contribute to yielding profound changes.
Happy learning!

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

1 Chanakya was an ancient Indian polymath who was active as a teacher, author, strategist, philosopher,
economist, jurist, and royal advisor. He is traditionally identified as Kauṭilya or Vishnugupta, who authored the
ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra, a text dated to roughly between the fourth century BCE and
the third century . As such, he is considered the pioneer of the field of Political Science and economics in India,
and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end
of the Gupta Empire in the sixth century CE and not rediscovered until the early 20th century. Chanakya is
regarded as a great thinker and diplomat in India.

2 According to the Jain account, Chanakya was born to two lay Jains (shravaka) named Chanin and
Chaneshvari. His birthplace was the Chanaka village in Golla vishaya (region). The identity of "Golla" is not
certain, but Hemachandra states that Chanakya was a Dramila, implying that he was a native of South India.

3 Chanakya was born with a full set of teeth. According to the monks, this was a sign that he would become a
king in the future. Chanin did not want his son to become haughty, so he broke Chanakya's teeth. The monks
prophesied that the baby would go on to become a power behind the throne. Chanakya grew up to be a
learned shravaka, and married a Brahmin woman. Her relatives mocked her for being married to a poor man.
This motivated Chanakya to visit Pataliputra, and seek donations from the king Nanda, who was famous for his
generosity towards Brahmins. While waiting for the king at the royal court, Chanakya sat on the king's throne.
A dasi (servant girl) courteously offered Chanakya the next seat, but Chanakya kept his kamandal (water pot)
on it, while remaining seated on the throne. The servant offered him a choice of four more seats, but each
time, he kept his various items on the seats, refusing to budge from the throne. Finally, the annoyed servant
kicked him off the throne. Enraged, Chanakya vowed to uproot Nanda and his entire establishment, like "a
great wind uproots a tree".
4 Chanakya knew that he was prophesied to become a power behind the throne. So, he started searching for a
person worthy of being a king. While wandering, he did a favour for the pregnant daughter of a village chief, on
the condition that her child would belong to him. Chandragupta was born to this lady. When Chandragupta
grew up, Chanakya came to his village and saw him playing "king" among a group of boys. To test him,
Chanakya asked him for a donation. The boy told Chanakya to take the cows nearby, declaring that nobody
would disobey his order. This display of power convinced Chanakya that Chandragupta was the one worthy of
being a king.

5 Chanakya took Chandragupta to conquer Pataliputra, the capital of Nanda. He assembled an army using the
wealth he had acquired through alchemy . The army suffered a severe defeat, forcing Chanakya and
Chandragupta to flee the battlefield. They reached a lake while being pursued by an enemy officer. Chanakya
asked Chandragupta to jump into the lake and disguised himself as a meditating ascetic. When the enemy
soldier reached the lake, he asked the 'ascetic' if he had seen Chandragupta. Chanakya pointed at the lake. As
the soldier removed his armour to jump into the lake, Chanakya took his sword and killed him. When
Chandragupta came out of the water, Chanakya asked him, "What went through your mind, when I disclosed
your location to the enemy?" Chandragupta replied that he trusted his master to make the best decision. This
convinced Chanakya that Chandragupta would remain under his influence even after becoming the king. On
another occasion, Chanakya similarly escaped the enemy by chasing away a washerman and disguising
himself as one. Once, he cut open the belly of a Brahmin who had just eaten food and took out the food to feed
a hungry Chandragupta.

6 Acharya Chanakya’s Arthashastra deals with various subjects including welfare, fiscal and monetary policies,
war strategies, and international relations. While the ‘Neeti Shastra’ is regarded as the collection of aphorisms
that were collected by him from the existing shastras. Some of the famous life lessons that he gave:
• Never judge the future of a person by his present conditions, because time has the power to change coal into
a shiny diamond.
• A person should not be very honest. Straight trees are always cut first and honest people are screwed first.
• Unless the enemy's weakness is known, he should always be kept on friendly terms.
• Our bodies will decay one day, wealth is not permanent and death is always nearby. Therefore we must
engage ourselves in good acts.
• These seven should not be awakened from sleep: The serpent, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child,
the king, the dog owned by other people, and the fool:
• Always learn from the mistakes of others, you can't live long enough to make them all yourselves.
• Treat your kid like a darling till the first five years. After the next five years, scold them. By the time their age
turns sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown-up children are your best friends.

7 The idea proposed by Kautilya is very much relevant in politics where each state is looking to assert its
power in a very different way. All the modern states and countries are giving tough competition to each other.
But the problem could be solved by diplomacy suggested by Chanakya. But the idea of Chanakya remained as
an influence on the nature of India and how it solves its own problem with the neighbouring countries. Even
today, Chanakya’s ideas, policies have brought success to millions of people. At present, politicians,
businessmen, and many people are using these Chanakya Niti to get what they want in life.
8 Many Indian nationalists regard him as one of the earliest people who envisioned a united India spanning the
entire subcontinent. India's former National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon praised Chanakya's
Arthashastra for its precise and timeless descriptions of power. Furthermore, he recommended reading the
book for broadening the vision on strategic issues.

II Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

One of the unfortunate paradoxes of our lives today is that despite adequate food production and unimaginable
advances in technology, one in three persons worldwide is not getting enough of the right food to eat and
approximately 800 million of seven billion sleep hungry every night.
Not surprisingly, this makes poor diet the No. 1 risk factor by far, for the global burden of disease. Poor diets
globally are more responsible for ill health as compared with the combined effect of drugs, tobacco and
alcohol. Women and children continue to be the most vulnerable, with 156 million stunted children in the world
and 40% of women is anaemic. Add to this the fact that the world adds 200,000 new people to its population
every day, of which India adds 58,000. This translates to the need to feed two billion more people by 2050 and
to support a higher demand for major crops, estimated to increase by 50%, from 2.5 to 3.5 billion tonnes.
Staying on target It is therefore with compelling reason that Target 3 for the Sustainable Development Goal
(SDG) 12 is to “halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer level and reduce food losses
along production and supply chains including post-harvest losses”. Food loss is valued at $1 trillion globally by
the Food and Agriculture Organisation, enough to feed the 800 million who sleep hungry every night. Of this,
over 200 million are in India, a country that grows sufficient food to feed its burgeoning population of 1.3 billion.
The SDGs have clearly put the spotlight on food loss and waste, and we are beginning to see more attentive
discussion on the subject. At the recently held Food Congress in Dusseldorf in early May 2017, the focus was
on identifying possible solutions for both — through better farming practices, use of technology, better
information, change in consumer behaviour, etc. Estimates of “food waste and food loss” range between 30
and 50% for both developed and emerging countries.
In developed countries “food waste” happens more at the consumer household level, where more is purchased
than consumed; and in emerging economies, it is the supply chain that leads to “food loss” during harvest,
storage or in transit, largely due to poor infrastructure and inadequately aligned processes. As an example,
India’s cold storage requirement is 66 million tonnes, and the national storage capacity currently available is
approximately 30 million tonnes. Investment in creating adequate cold storage capacity alone will stem food
loss substantially. With increasing wealth, India is, ironically, home to both food waste and food loss.
In either scenario, food that is produced (using depleting and critical resources such as water) but not
consumed is a colossal waste which we cannot afford to ignore. Food loss is also nutrition loss, productivity
loss and therefore GDP loss. The 40% food loss in India translates to approximately $7.5 billion, and for a
country where agriculture contributes 15% to GDP and employs 53% of the workforce, this is clearly
unaffordable.
These are serious statistics, and unless there is an effort to address food loss factors systemically, the state of
health and nutrition of our people will continue to be inadequate, as food loss means loss of macronutrients
such as calories, fats, proteins; but even more alarming, it means loss of micronutrients because foods that are
rich in micronutrients are also perishable — fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, dairy, etc. Additionally, with
urbanisation and rising incomes, the length of the food value chain also increases, as what people eat
becomes less and less connected to where they live.
The Global Nutrition Report 2016 has highlighted India’s overall tardy progress in addressing chronic
undernutrition, manifest in stunting (low weight for age), wasting (low weight for height) and micronutrient
deficiency or “hidden hunger”.
With 17% of the world’s population, India remains home to a quarter of the world’s undernourished people, a
third of the world’s underweight children and a quarter of the world’s hungry. This demographic cannot possibly
result in a productive and efficient workforce, or be converted into any meaningful economic dividend. The
World Happiness Report 2017, which looks at quality of people’s life beyond GDP and per capita income and
includes economic variables, social factors and health indicators, has ranked India at 122 of 155 countries.
India’s decline in 2014-16, compared with 2005-07, is on account of poor and slow progress on social factors
and health indicators.
Agriculture has to be one of the drivers of India’s growth, and even though we are the world’s third largest
producer of food, our agriculture growth has fallen well below the targeted 4% over the last 15 years.
According to the International Food Policy Research Institute, India needs to at least double its investment in
agricultural research to double farmers’ incomes by 2022. This will not happen only with a focus on rice and
wheat — more diversity is needed, with the addition of vegetables, fruits and dairy farming.
Harnessing technology to increase agricultural productivity, where we lag both our potential and competitive
benchmarks will be critical to our overall well-being. As an example, since the 1960s India’s groundwater
irrigation has increased dramatically, and since the 1980s groundwater levels have been dropping, thus
stressing the system. Groundwater recharge therefore becomes a critical variable to augment agricultural
productivity. Further, imports of agricultural commodities have increased from 4% of GDP in 2008-09 to 5.5%
of GDP in 2013-14, according to the Economic Survey. Edible oil imports alone in the last year cost us Rs.
65,000 crore ($10 billion). This need not be the case in future.
Dignified quality of life
To provide even a baseline and dignified quality of life to its people, India has to address enhancing agricultural
productivity, crop diversification and eliminating food loss and waste with a firm resolve, backed with the right
and timely action. The last must be done on priority as it deals with food already available. So the key question
is, how do we minimise food loss given that the government wants this, businesses want this, and people want
this?
There is clearly a structural and behavioural component to this, and the door is open for investment in food
system infrastructure: storage, transportation, processing, etc; investment in information systems that help
identify loss by crop and region so solutions can be specifically tailored to the problem; use of technology to
better connect supply and demand; public-private partnerships with companies to reduce spoilage and loss;
creation of food banking networks that work with civil society and development agencies on getting food
already available to those that need it. Among the several priorities we have, minimising food loss has the
potential to be transformative in multiple ways.

CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS (Q24 to Q27)

INSRUCTIONS: Read the following and answer the questions:

A charge placed at a point in space produces an electric field everywhere in the surrounding. When
another charge is brought in the field of first charge, it experiences a force. The electric field at a point
in space due to given charge is mathematically, defined as the force that a unit positive charge would
experience if placed at that point. If we consider a system of charges q1, q2, q3 with position vectors
r1, r2, r3 relative to some origin O, then electric field at a point in space due to the system of charges
is determined by finding the vector sum of fields due to all individual charges of the charge of the
charge system.

(A) Project
Topic: Indian Mathematicians and their Contributions.

It is essential to know about the ancient, medieval and modern time Indian mathematicians and their
contribution to Science and Mathematics. Ancient Indian mathematicians have contributed immensely
to the field of mathematics. The invention of zero is attributed to Indians and this contribution
outweighs all other made by any other nation since it is the basis of the decimal number system,
without which no advancement in mathematics would have been possible. The number system used
today was invented by Indians and it is still called Indo-Arabic numerals because Indians invented
them and the Arab merchants took them to the western world.

Here the list of important Indian mathematicians from ancient to modern times.

Q3. Food in Ancient India

Food in Ancient India basically reflects the cultural evolution of Indian civilization from ancient past.
Fruits, wild berries, meat, fish, etc. were the main food items of the nomadic dwellers. With the advent
of civilization, people settled and started to do farming. This led to the discovery of food crops, pulses,
etc. Food in ancient India was cultivated in the fertile river valleys.
The ancient Indians ate a diet of mostly wheat, barley, vegetables, fruits (Indian dates, mangoes, and
berries), meats (cow, sheep and goats), and dairy products. Archeologists have found fishing nets
and hooks in the ruins of early Indian civilizations, showing that they also liked to catch and eat fish.
We know that they grew rice, peas, sesame, and melons. And they domesticated cows, pigs, buffalo,
and sheep. They cooked using clay ovens, cauldrons, and open fires. And they knew how to dry and
pickle food to preserve it.
Later on, religion began to influence what food was eaten. The Hindus came to see the cow as a
sacred animal, and would not eat it.
Food was seen as important to a person’s holiness. There were many rules and rituals regarding
food. For example, people were forbidden from eating carnivorous animals (animals that eat meat),
and from eating garlic. It was believed that a person’s mind was affected by his nutrition, so this was
taken very seriously
