Traders

Similar foods were also known in India and Japan, so the

Ans. “Even before factories began to dot the landscape in England and Europe,
there was large-scale industrial production for an international market in the
country side.” Elucidate.
a.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, merchants from the towns in Europe began moving to the countryside,
supplying money to peasants and artisans, persuading them to produce for an
international market.
b.
With the expansion of world trade
and the acquisition of colonies in different parts of the world, the demand for
goods began growing. But merchants could not expand production within towns
because here urban crafts and trade guilds were powerful.
c.
These were associations of
producers that trained craftspeople, maintained control over production,
regulated competition and prices, and restricted the entry of new people into
the trade.
d.
Rulers granted different guilds
the monopoly right to produce and trade in specific products. It was therefore
difficult for new merchants to set up business in towns.
e.
So they turned to the
countryside. In the countryside poor peasants and artisans who had lost their
common lands began working for merchants and produced goods and indirectly
served the international market.

that happened in
Ans. England in the 18th century.
a.
Ties between members of
households loosened, and among the working class the institution of marriage
tended to break down.
b.
Women of the upper and middle
classes in Britain, on the other hand, faced increasingly higher levels of
isolation, although their lives were made easier by domestic maids who cooked,
cleaned and cared for young children on low wages.
c.
Women who worked for wages had
some control over their lives, particularly among the lower social classes.
However, many social reformers felt that the family as an institution had
broken down, and needed to be saved or reconstructed by pushing these women
back into the home.
d.
The city encouraged a new spirit
of individualism among both men and women, and a freedom from the collective
values that were a feature of the smaller rural communities.
e. But men
and women did not have equal access to this new urban space. As
|
women
lost their industrial jobs and conservative people railed against their

in public spaces, women were forced to withdraw into their homes.

Describe the significance of Textile Industry in
India with specific reference to Cotton
5
|
|
|
|
industry.
|
|
|
Ans.
|
a.
|
The Textile Industry occupies
unique position in the Indian economy,
|
|
|
|
because
it contributes significantly to industrial production (14 per cent),
|
|
|
|
employment
generation (35 million persons directly – the second largest after
|
|
|
|
agriculture)
and foreign exchange earnings (about 24.6 per cent).
|
b.
It contributes 4 per cent towards
GDP. It is the only industry in the country, which is self-reliant and complete
in the value chain i.e., from raw material to the highest value added products.
c.
In the early years, the Cotton Textile Industry was
concentrated in the cotton growing belt of Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Availability of raw cotton, market, transport including accessible port
facilities, labour, moist climate, etc. contributed towards its localisation.
d. This
industry has close links with agriculture and provides a living to farmers,
cotton boll pluckers and workers engaged in ginning, spinning, weaving,
dyeing, designing, packaging, tailoring and sewing.
e.
The industry by creating demands
supports many other industries, such as, chemicals and dyes, mill stores,
packaging materials and engineering works.

million
km at present. On what basis roadways have taken an edge over railways?
|
|
|
|
Explain.
|
|
|
Ans.
|
a. Construction cost of roads is much lower
than that of railway lines
|
|
b.
Roads can traverse comparatively
more dissected and undulating topography, they can negotiate higher gradients
of slopes and as such can traverse mountains such as the Himalayas
c.
Road transport is economical in
transportation of few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short
distances,
d.
It also provides door-to-door
service, thus the cost of loading and unloading is much lower
e.
Road transport is also used as a
feeder to other modes of transport such as they provide a link between railway
stations, air and sea ports.

“The pace of change has been rapid in modern times
and has impacted the ways of Ans. communication as well.” In light of the given
statement explain the role of a variety of
means of
communication that are used in India in the currents times.
Means of Personal Communication in India –
1.
The Indian postal network is the
largest in the world. It handles parcels as
well as personal written communications. Cards and envelopes are considered
first–class mail and are airlifted between stations covering both land and air.
The second–class mail includes book packets, registered newspapers and
periodicals. They are carried by surface mail, covering land and water
transport. To facilitate quick delivery of mails in large towns and cities, six
mail channels have been introduced recently. They are called Rajdhani Channel,
Metro Channel, Green Channel, Business Channel, Bulk Mail Channel and
Periodical Channel.
2.
India has one of the largest telecom networks in Asia. Excluding
urban places more than two-thirds of the villages in India have already been
covered with Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD) telephone facility. In order to
strengthen the flow of information from the grass root to the higher level, the
government has
made special provision to extend twenty-four hours STD facility to every
village in the country. There is a uniform rate of STD facilities all over
India. It has been made possible by integrating the development in space
technology with communication technology.
Mass communication in India –
3.
All India Radio (Akashwani) broadcasts a variety of programmes in national,
regional and local languages for various categories of people, spread over
different parts of the country. Doordarshan, the national television channel of India, is one of the largest terrestrial
networks in the world. It broadcasts a variety of programmes from
entertainment, educational to sports, etc. for people of different age groups.
4.
India publishes a large number of
newspapers and periodicals annually.
They are of different types depending upon their periodicity. Newspapers are
published in about 100 languages and dialects. Largest numbers of newspapers
published in the country are in Hindi, followed by English and Urdu.
5.
India is the largest producer of feature films in the world. It produces
short films; video feature films and video short films. The Central Board of
Film Certification is the authority to certify both Indian and foreign films.

Women face disadvantage,
discrimination and oppression in various ways even today. 5 Assess the
statement by giving five suitable arguments.
|
Ans.
|
a. The literacy rate among women is only 54
per cent compared with 76 percent
|
|
|
among
men. Similarly, a smaller proportion of girl students go for higher
|
|
|
studies. Many of them drop out because parents prefer to
spend their resources
|
|
|
for their
boys’ education.
|
b.
The proportion of women among the
highly paid and valued jobs is still very small. On an average an Indian woman
works one hour more than an average man every day. Yet much of her work is not
paid and therefore often not valued.
c.
The Equal Wages Act provides that
equal wages should be paid to equal work. However, in almost all areas of work,
from sports and cinema, to factories and fields, women are paid less than men,
even when both do exactly the same work.
d.
In many parts of India parents
prefer to have sons and find ways to have the girl child aborted before she is
born. Such sex-selective abortion led to a decline in child sex ratio.
e. They are
not safe even within their own home from beating, harassment and
|
other
forms of domestic violence.

Ans. Rohan works in an organised sector; he will enjoy security of
employment. He will be expected to work only a fixed number of hours. If he
works more, he will have to be paid overtime by the employer. He will also get
several other benefits from the employers like getting paid leave, payment
during holidays, provident fund, gratuity etc. He is supposed to get medical
benefits and, under the laws, the bank manager has to ensure facilities like
drinking water and a safe working environment. When he will retire, he will get
pension as well.
In contrast, Sumit works in the unorganised sector
which is characterised by small and scattered units which are largely outside
the control of the government. There are rules and regulations but these are
not followed.
So, his job will be low-paid and often not regular. There will be no
provision for overtime, paid leave, holidays, leave due to sickness etc.
Employment is not secure. He can be asked to leave without any reason when
there is less work, such

Ans. Reema works as a Head Technician in Mehta Textiles Private Ltd.
whereas Shirin works as a Sales Executive in Kashvi Fashion Showroom. Identify
the sectors of economy in which Reema and Shirin are working. Evaluate the role
of each of these sectors in the Indian economy.
Reema works in Secondary or Manufacturing Sector where as Shirin works
in the Tertiary or Service Sector
Role of Secondary/Manufacturing Sector –
This sector covers activities in which natural
products are changed into other forms through ways of manufacturing that we
associate with industrial activity, hence it is also called as industrial
sector.
The product in this sector has to be made and
therefore some process of manufacturing is essential, may be in a factory, a
workshop or at home. For example, using cotton fibre from the plant, spinning
yarn and weaving cloth etc.
This sector provides large scale employment and helps in earning huge
revenue. It helps in the development of a nation.
Role of Tertiary/Service Sector –
These are activities that help in the development of the primary and
secondary sectors. These activities, by themselves, do not produce a good but
they are an aid or a support for the production process. For example, goods
need to be transported by trucks or trains and then sold in wholesale and
retail shops; they have to be stored in godowns.
So, transport, storage, communication, banking, trade are some examples
of tertiary activities. Since these activities generate services, the tertiary
sector is also called the service sector. It also includes services of
teachers, doctors, and those who provide personal services such as washer men,
barbers, cobblers, lawyers, and people to do administrative and accounting
works. In recent times, certain new services based on information technology such
as internet cafe, ATM booths, call centres, software companies etc. have become
important.
Service sector contributes the most to the national economy these days
and is further growing.
