to attend the annual Baisakhi fair. Dyer entered the area, blocked the exit points, and opened fire on the crowd, killing
hundreds. As the news of Jallianwalla Bagh spread, crowds took to the streets in many north Indian towns. There were
strikes, clashes with the police and attacks on government buildings. Seeing violence spread, Mahatma Gandhi called off
the movement. While the Rowlatt satyagraha had been a widespread movement, it was still limited mostly to cities and
towns. Mahatma Gandhi now felt the need to launch a more broad-based movement in India.

35. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
The lives and feelings of women began to be written in particularly vivid and intense ways. Women’s reading, therefore,
increased enormously in middle-class homes. Liberal husbands and fathers began educating their womenfolk at
home and sent them to schools when women’s schools were set up in the cities and towns after the mid-nineteenth
century. Many journals began carrying writings by women and explained why women should be educated. They also
carried a syllabus and attached suitable reading matter which could be used for home-based schooling.
But not all families were liberal. Conservative Hindus believed that a literate girl would be widowed and Muslims feared
that educated women would be corrupted by reading Urdu romances. Sometimes, rebel women defied such prohibition.
We know the story of a girl in a conservative Muslim family of north India who secretly learnt to read and write in Urdu.
Her family wanted her to read only the Arabic Quran which she did not understand. So she insisted on learning to read a
language that was her own. In East Bengal, in the early nineteenth century, Rashsundari Debi, a young married girl in a
very orthodox household, learnt to read in the secrecy of her kitchen. Later, she wrote her autobiography Amar Jiban
which was published in 1876. It was the first full-length autobiography published in the Bengali language.

ii. What was the impact of printed books on women in India in the 19th century?
iii. What were the negative conceptions regarding the education imparted to women?
36. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
Tourism in India has grown substantially over the last three decades. Foreign tourist’s arrivals in the country witnessed
an increase of 11.8 percent during the year 2010 as against the year 2009, contributing ₹ 64,889 crore of foreign
exchange in 2010. 5.78 million foreign tourists visited India in 2010. More than 15 million people are directly engaged
in the tourism industry.
Tourism also promotes national integration, provides support to local handicrafts and cultural pursuits. It also helps in the
development of an international understanding of our culture and heritage. Foreign tourists visit India for heritage
tourism, eco-tourism, adventure tourism, cultural tourism, medical tourism and business tourism.

Section B
21. In the post-war system the Economists and politicians learnt two key lessons from the inter-war economic
experiences:
i. An industrial society based on mass production needs mass consumption. For mass consumption, steady income was
necessary and for stable income, full employment was necessary. For this, the government has to take a step to
minimise the fluctuation of price, production and employment. Hence, economic stability could be ensured
by government intervention.
ii. The target of full employment could be achieved only if the governments have the power to control the flow of
capital, labour and goods. The government should take appropriate steps to achieve the goal.
22. Religion can influence politics as:
i. Gandhiji believed that politics must be guided by ethics drawn from all religions.
ii. Ideas, ideals and values drawn from different religions can and perhaps should play a role in politics.
iii. People should be able to express in politics, their needs, interests and demands as a member of a religious
community.
iv. Those who hold political power should sometimes be able to regulate the practice of religion so as to prevent
discrimination and oppression.
v. These political acts are not wrong as long as they treat every religion equal.

23. Multinational Corporations (MNCs) set up their factories close to markets where they can get the desired type of skilled
or unskilled labour at low costs and where they can get other factors of production also. Apart from this they also
consider government policies that looks into their interests. After due considerations, the MNCs set up production units
in the following ways:
i. Jointly with some local companies of the existing country.
ii. In most of the cases, MNC's prefer to buy the local companies and then expand its production with the help of
modern technology.
iii. They place orders for small producers and sell these products under their own brand name to the customers
worldwide.

OR

i. Liberalization and removal of trade barriers by the Indian Government facilitate globalization. This enables
MNCs to come and invest in India. With the liberalization of trade, businesses are allowed to take decisions freely.
ii. Advancement in Information and Technology played a major role in spreading out production of services across
the countries. Telecommunication facilities are used to contact one another around the world to access information
instantly and to communicate from remote areas. Computers have now entered almost every field. So as the internet
is available at reasonable rates.
24. Income is necessary for the sustenance of life, however, only income is not the only criterion when we aspire for growth
and development. Other things may include the following:
i. People also seek things like equal treatment, freedom, security and respect of others.
ii. Health and fitness, as it paves a way to grow by keeping one in a healthy frame of mind.
iii. Education is another factor which makes one rise in life.
iv. Fame leads to recognition of a person and it in itself boosts one to maintain it.
v. They resent discrimination.
vi. Women need a safe and secure environment to take up a variety of jobs or run a business.

All of these are important goals. In fact, in some cases, these may be more important than more income or more
consumption because material goods are not "all that you need to live. Money can buy only material things and it is only
one of the factor on which our life depends.
Section C
25. The factors responsible for globalisation in India can be illustrated as follows:
a. Advancement in Information and Technology played a major role in spreading out production of services across
the countries. Telecommunication facilities are used to contact one another around the world to access information
instantly and to communicate from remote areas. Computers have now entered almost every field leading to the
availability of internet at reasonable rates.
b. Liberalization and removal of trade barriers by the Indian Government facilitate globalization. This enables
MNCs to come and invest in India.
c. Advancement in Transportation facilities made the faster delivery of goods across long distances possible at cheap
costs.

OR

The developments in information and communication technology have been changing rapidly. Rapid
improvement in technology has been one major factor that has stimulated the globalisation process.
Telecommunication facilities (telegraph, telephone including mobile phones, fax) are used to contact one another
around the world, to access information instantly and to communicate from remote areas. This has been facilitated

by satellite communication devices. It has enabled to contact one another around the world, to access information
instantly, and to communicate from remote areas.
Computers have ventured into the amazing world of the Internet, where one can obtain and share information on
almost anything. Internet has allowed to send instant electronic mail and talk across the world at negligible costs.
It also allows us to send instant electronic mail (e-mail) and talk (voice-mail) across the world.

to live together in peace and harmony, i.e., there was sharing of power between the Dutch and the French both in the
Central Government, State Government and Community Government. They followed a policy of accommodation.
ii. This helped to avoid civil strife and division of the country on linguistic lines.
iii. On the other hand, the Sinhalese who were in majority in Sri Lanka as compared to the Tamils followed a policy of
majoritarianism and adopted a series of measures to establish Sinhala supremacy by passing an Act of 1956.
These measures alienated the Tamils leading to civil strife between the two communities.
iv. Belgium leaders established a federal structure under which power was shared between the union government and its
other constituent units whereas Sri Lankan leaders adopted Unitary Government structure.
v. The Belgium solution helped in avoiding civic strife whereas the Majoritarianism in Sri Lanka led to the civil war.
28. The political parties play an important role in democracy as:
i. Parties contest elections: In most democracies, elections are fought mainly among the candidates put up by political
parties.
ii. Parties put forward different policies and programmes and the voters choose from them.
iii. Parties play a decisive role in making laws for a country, Parties shape public opinions. They raise and highlight
issues.
iv. The opposition party's main function is to criticize the errors in the rules of the ruling party.
v. Role of opposition. Opposition role is important in a democracy as it voices different views and criticizes
the government for its failures or wrong policies.
29. The new system of local self-government is the largest experiment in Indian democracy. The significant achievements of
this government are
i. The constitutional status for local government has helped to deepen democracy in our country.
ii. They have made local administration much easier and more effective.
iii. It has increased women’s representation and voice in our democracy.

At the same time the local self-government has many difficulties. These are
i. While elections are held regularly, Gram Sabhas are not held regularly to review the performance of the Gram
Panchayat.
ii. Most State Governments have not transferred significant powers and adequate resources to the local governments.
iii. We are thus still a long way from realising the ideal of self government.
