Question: 1: Give two examples from history to show the impact of science and Technology on food availability,
Answer:
1. The Green Revolution, which began in the 1940s, was the widespread introduction of new crop varieties and farming methods that significantly increased food production in many parts of the world. This revolution was driven by advances in science and technology, such as the development of pesticides and fertilizers.
2. The invention of refrigeration in the early 1900s allowed for the safe storage and transportation of food, which increased the availability of produce from distant regions. This development allowed for a greater variety of food to be consumed, and improved food security for many people.
Question: 2. Way did industrial production in India increase during the First World War?
Answer: Industrial production in India increased during the First World War due to the increasing demand for raw materials and manufactured goods from the Allied Powers. The British government began to purchase large quantities of raw materials and finished goods from Indian manufacturers, which increased the demand for Indian goods and services. This in turn led to a rise in industrial production in India. Additionally, the war also led to a boom in agricultural production, which further boosted the economy and industrial production.
Question: 3. Why Gandhiji decided to withdraw Non-Cooperation Movement? (Mention any three reasons)
Answer:
1. Chauri Chaura Incident: On 5th February 1922 a mob of 2000 villagers attacked and set fire to a police station in Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh. 22 policemen were burnt alive in this incident. Gandhiji was shocked by this incident and withdrew from the non-cooperation movement.
2. Increasing Violence: During the movement, there were several instances of violence and lawlessness. This made Gandhiji realize that members of the movement had gone out of control and were engaging in violent activities. Hence, he decided to withdraw from the non-cooperation movement.
3. Lack of Support: The movement lacked popular support from the people. Many people did not participate in the movement and some even opposed it. This led to a lack of enthusiasm for the movement and ultimately Gandhiji decided to withdraw it.
Question: 4. What were the impacts of the Great Depression on the Indian economy?
Answer: The Great Depression had a devastating effect on the Indian economy, with a significant decline in agricultural and industrial output, as well as a huge reduction in foreign trade. Unemployment and poverty levels increased, and the cost of living rose rapidly. The Indian government was forced to cut spending, resulting in a decrease in public investment in infrastructure and social services. In addition, the Indian rupee was devalued, reducing its purchasing power. The Great Depression also caused a sharp decline in the prices of Indian exports, further reducing the incomes of the Indian population.
Question: 5. Why did some Industrialists in nineteenth-century Europe prefer hand labour over machines?
Answer: Some industrialists in nineteenth-century Europe preferred hand labour over machines because they did not want to invest in costly machinery, or because they were unfamiliar with the technology and were more comfortable relying on traditional methods. Additionally, hand labour was more reliable and flexible than machines, and it was easier to adjust production according to the fluctuating demands of the market. Additionally, there were ethical considerations, as some industrialists preferred to avoid the displacement of workers and feared the potential dehumanization of working conditions.

Solar energy has a bright future in India because it is a clean, renewable, and abundant energy source. Solar energy is also relatively inexpensive, and India is investing heavily in solar energy projects to help meet its energy needs. The Indian government is also promoting solar energy by offering incentives and subsidies, making it an attractive option for businesses and households. Additionally, India is located in an ideal geographic location, with plenty of sunshine and strong solar radiation levels, making it ideal for the development of solar energy projects.

The political ideas of the liberals were based on the principles of democracy and constitutionalism, with a focus on individual rights and freedoms, popular sovereignty, and separation of powers. Socially, the liberals supported the idea of a meritocracy, with open access to education and the right to work, as well as the emancipation of all social classes. Economically, the liberals wanted to reduce government intervention and free up the economy, advocating for free trade, deregulation, and the repeal of feudal rights.
Question: 3. The history of nationalism in Britain was unlike the rest of Europe. Explain how
Answer: The history of nationalism in Britain was unlike the rest of Europe in that it was largely defined by its long-standing commitment to unionism and the idea of a single British identity. The concept of British nationalism was born out of the 17th-century Glorious Revolution and its aftermath when the idea of a unified British nation began to take shape. Britain’s history of unionism was further cemented by the Act of Union in 1707, which saw the merger of the kingdoms of England and Scotland. This union, along with the later Acts of Union uniting England, Wales, and Ireland, created a strong sense of British identity, something that was distinct from the various forms of European nationalism that took shape in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result, British nationalism has often been described as more of a civic nationalism that is based on shared values and practices, rather than an ethnic or cultural nationalism.
Question: 4: Explain the land use pattern in India. Why has the land under forest not increased much since 1960-61?
Answer: The land use pattern in India has been changing over the years. In 2019, the total geographical area of India was 328.7 million hectares (Mha), of which the total utilizable area was 299.3 Mha. The land use pattern in India can be categorised into five major land use classes: cultivated area (net sown area and other land use); fallow land; forest and tree cover; land not available for cultivation; and other land use. Agriculture remains the dominant land use in India and accounts for nearly 54% of the total geographical area. Since 1960-61, the land under forest cover has not increased significantly due to several factors. These include increasing population, commercial activities, and deforestation for development projects. The expansion of agricultural land has also contributed to the decrease in forest cover. In addition, the growing demand for fuelwood, fodder and other forest products has resulted in pressure on the existing forest cover. The lack of suitable policies to incentivize and promote afforestation and reforestation activities has further aggravated the situation.
Question: 5. What are the different forms of power sharing in modern democracies? Give an example of each of these.
Answer: The different forms of power sharing in modern democracies include:
1. Separation of Powers: This form of power-sharing involves dividing the powers of the government into three distinct branches – Legislative, Executive and Judicial – with each one having its authority and responsibilities. This form of power-sharing is exemplified in the United States Constitution, where Congress creates and passes laws, the President signs them into law and the Supreme Court interprets the laws.
2. Federation: This form of power-sharing involves the division of power between the central government and the sub-national governments. Federal governments typically have both a national government and state governments, with the former having authority over certain matters, such as foreign policy, and the latter having authority over other matters, such as education. The United States is an example of a federal system.
3. Devolution: This form of power-sharing involves the transfer of powers from the central government to regional or local governments. This is designed to increase the autonomy of the regional or local governments, allowing them to tailor policies to their own needs and preferences. The United Kingdom is an example of a devolved government, with the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly having authority over certain matters such as education and health.
4. Consociationalism: This form of power-sharing involves the sharing of political power among different ethnic or religious groups in society. This is designed to ensure that minority groups are represented in government and have a say in decision-making. Belgium is an example of a consociational democracy, with Dutch-speaking Flemish and French-speaking Walloons sharing political power.
