The earliest factories in England came up by the 1780s. But it was only in the late eighteenth century that the
number of factories multiplied. The first symbol of the new era was cotton. Its production boomed in the late
nineteenth century. In 1760 Britain was importing 25 million pounds of raw cotton to feed its cotton industry.
By 1787 this import soared to 22 million pounds This increase was linked to a number of changes within the
process of production. Let us look briefly at some of these: A series of inventions in the eighteenth century
increased the efficacy of each step of the production process (carding, twisting and spinning and rolling). They
enhanced the output per worker, enabling each worker to produce more, and they made possible the
production of stronger threads and yarn. Then Richard Arkwright created the cotton mill. Till this time, as you
have seen, cloth production was spread all over the countryside and carried out within village households. But
now, the costly new machines could be purchased, set up and maintained in the mill. Within the mill all the
processes were brought together under one roof and management. This allowed a more careful supervision
over the production process a watch over quality, and the regulation of labour, all of which had been difficult to
do when production was in the countryside.
i) Where and when did the earliest factories came up? 1
ii) Name the person who created the Cotton mill in England? 1
iii) Why in the mail all the processes were about together under one roof and Management? 2

35. Read the given extract and answer the following question:
Tax on imports is an example of trade barrier. It is called a barrier because some restriction has been set up.
Governments can use trade barriers to increase or decrease (regulate) foreign trade and to decide what kinds of
goods and how much of each, should come into the country The Indian government, after Independence, had put
barriers to foreign trade and foreign investment. This was considered necessary to protect the producers within
the country from foreign competition. Industries were just coming up in the 1950s and 1960s, and competition
from imports at that stage would not have allowed these industries to come up. Thus. India allowed imports of
only essential items such as machinery, fertilisers, petroleum etc. Note that all developed countries, during the
early stages of development, have given protection to domestic producers through a variety of means
1. What is an important example of trade barrier? 1
2. Why did Indian government put barriers to foreign trade and foreign competition after independence? 1
3. Why does government used trade barriers? 2
36. Read the given extract and answer the following question:

Communal politics a based on the idea that religion is the principal basis of social community. Communalism
involves thinking along the following lines. The followers of a particular religion must belong to one
community. Their fundamental interests are the same. Any difference that they may have is irrelevant or trivial
for community life. It also follows that people who follow different religions cannot belong to the Family laws:
Those laws that deal with family related matters such as marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, etc. In our
country, different family laws apply to followers of different religions same social community. If the followers of
different religion have some commonalities these are superficial and immaterial. Their interests are bound to
be different and involve a conflict. In its extreme form communalism leads to the belief that people belonging
to different religions cannot live as equal citizens within one nation. Either, one of them has to dominate the
rest or they have to form different nations.

1. As the family finally sets off from home after many arguments, there is a moment of lull as the car takes off
