11. Read the given text and answer the following questions:
The movement started with middle-class participation in the cities. Thousands of students
left government-controlled schools and colleges, headmasters and teachers resigned, and
lawyers gave up their legal practices. The council elections were boycotted in most
provinces except Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of the non-Brahmins, felt that
entering the council was one way of gaining some power – something that usually only
Brahmans had access to. The effects of non-cooperation on the economic front were more
dramatic. Foreign goods were boycotted, liquor shops picketed, and foreign cloth burnt in
huge bonfires. The import of foreign cloth halved between 1921 and 1922, its value
dropping from Rs 102 crore to Rs 57 crore. In many places merchants and traders refused
to trade in foreign goods or finance foreign trade. As the boycott movement spread, and
people began discarding imported clothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of
Indian textile mills and handlooms went up.
11.1. Explain the role of ‘Justice Party’ in boycotting of Council elections.
11.2. Explain the effect of the Boycott movement on foreign textile trade.
11.3. How were the effects of ‘Non-Cooperation on the economic front ‘dramatic’? What
was the main cause for boycotting foreign goods during the Non-Cooperation
Movement?

12. Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:
Goods and services do not move from supply locales to demand locales on their own. The
movement of these goods and services from their supply locations to demand locations
necessitates the need for transport. Some people are engaged in facilitating these
movements. These are known to be traders who make the products come to the
consumers by transportation. Thus, the pace of development of a country depends upon
the production of goods and services as well as their movement over space. Therefore,
efficient means of transport are prerequisites for fast development. Movement of these
goods and services can be over three important domains of our earth i.e. land, water and
air. Based on these, transport can also be classified into land, water and air transport
expanded and wide. Today, the world has been converted into a large village with the help
of efficient and fast moving transport. Transport has been able to achieve this with the
help of equally developed communication systems. Therefore, transport, communication
and trade are complementary to each other.
12.1 Do you think trade is important for a country? If yes, support your answer with an
 example.
12.2 If you were the head of the department of trade of the central government, what
reforms would you make to facilitate easier trade?
12.3 What facilitates the movement of goods and services from one place to another?
