Read the source and Answer the following questions.
One of the groups which looked to change society were the liberals. Liberals
wanted a nation which tolerated all religions. We should remember that at this
time European states usually discriminated in favour of one religion or another
(Britain favoured the Church of England, Austria and Spain favoured the
Catholic Church). Liberals also opposed the uncontrolled power of dynastic
rulers. They wanted to safeguard the rights of individuals against governments.
They argued for a representative, elected parliamentary government, subject to
laws interpreted by a well-trained judiciary that was independent of rulers and
officials. However, they were not ‘democrats’. They did not believe in universal
adult franchise, that is, the right of every citizen to vote. They felt men of
property mainly should have the vote. They also did not want the vote for
 women. In contrast, radicals wanted a nation in which government was based on
the majority of a country’s population. Many supported women’s suffragette
movements. Unlike liberals, they opposed the privileges of great landowners
and wealthy factory owners. They were not against the existence of private
property but disliked concentration of property in the hands of a few.
Conservatives were opposed to radicals and liberals. After the French
Revolution, however, even conservatives had opened their minds to the need for
change. Earlier, in the eighteenth century, conservatives had been generally
opposed to the idea of change. By the nineteenth century, they accepted that
some change was inevitable but believed that the past had to be respected and
change had to be brought about through a slow process.

11-1 In what ways were liberals different from democrats? 1

11-2 What were the political ideas of radicals? 1
11-3 In what ways were conservatives opposed to radicals and liberals? 2

Read the source and Answer the following questions.
These are the most widespread forests of India. They are also called the
monsoon forests and spread over the region receiving rainfall between 200 cm
and 70 cm. Trees of this forest type shed their leaves for about six to eight
weeks in dry summer. On the basis of the availability of water, these forests are
further divided into moist and dry deciduous. The former is found in areas
receiving rainfall between 200 and 100 cm. These forests exist, therefore,
mostly in the eastern part of the country — northeastern states, along the
foothills of the Himalayas, Jharkhand, West Odisha and Chhattisgarh, and on
 the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats. Teak is the most dominant species of
this forest. Bamboos, sal, shisham, sandalwood, khair, kusum, arjun and
mulberry are other commercially important species. The dry deciduous forests
are found in areas having rainfall between 100 cm and 70 cm. These forests are
found in the rainier parts of the Peninsular plateau and the plains of Bihar and
Uttar Pradesh. There are open stretches, in which teak, sal, peepal and neem
grow. A large part of this region has been cleared for cultivation and some parts
are used for grazing. In these forests, the common animals found are lion, tiger,
pig, deer and elephant. A huge variety of birds, lizards, snakes and tortoises are
also found here.

12-2 In which areas this type of forest is found? 1
