Dp- Political Parties
Outcomes Of Democracy
Hist – Nationalism In India
Answer in short (two points)

2.What was the Inland Emigration Act?
3.What ultimatum was given by Mahatma Gandhi to Lord Irwin?
4.Write two features of the Civil Disobedience movement.

8.How does democracy remove the gap between majority and minority in the country?
9.What is a one party system?
10.Why does India have multi-party system?

Read the extract and answer the questions:

It is often said that political parties are facing a crisis because they are very unpopular and the
citizens are indifferent to political parties. The available evidence shows that this belief is only
partly true for India. The evidence, based on a series of large sample surveys conducted over
several decades, shows that: Political parties do not enjoy much trust among the people in
South Asia. The proportion of those who say their trust in political parties is ‘not much’ or ‘not
at all’ is more than those who have ‘some’ or ‘great’ trust. The same is true of most other
democracies as well. Political parties are one of the least trusted institutions all over the
world. Yet the level of participation in the activities of political parties was fairly high. The
proportion of those who said they were members of some political party was higher in India
than many advanced countries like Canada, Japan, Spain and South Korea. Over the last three
decades the proportion of those who report to be members of political parties in India has
gone up steadily. The proportion of those who say they feel ‘close to a political party’ has also
gone up in India in this period.
11.1.Why are political parties facing crisis?
11.2.In which countries are people not active participants in Political activities?
11.3 Give examples to show that political parties are popular in India.
12. Read the source and answer the questions:
Take the case of dignity of women. Most societies across the world were historically male
dominated societies. Long struggles by women have created some sensitivity today that
respect to and
equal treatment of women are necessary ingredients of a democratic society. That does not
mean that women are actually always treated with respect. But once the principle is
recognised, it becomes easier for women to wage a struggle against what is now unacceptable
legally and morally. In a non-democratic set up, this unacceptability would not have legal basis
because the principle of individual freedom and dignity would not have the legal and moral
force there. The same is true of caste inequalities. Democracy in India has strengthened the
claims of the disadvantaged and discriminated castes for equal status and equal opportunity

1.How have people become sensitive to the rights of the women?

2.Why has it become easier for the women to wage struggle against inequality and disrespect
in the society?
3.How has the caste inequality and discrimination weakened in India?
