Explain clearly the Bhagat and Akki movement in Tribal community ?

Answer»

In the southern area of Rajasthan, there resided the Bhil community. These areas are mainly Dungarpur, Mewar, Banswara, Pratapgarh and Kushalgarh. The Bhils are a very traditional tribe that remain active about their societal and economic status. When their traditional rights were affected, they broke out in a revolt, both against Britishers as well as against the native administration.

Govind Guru movement and social and moral Bhagat movement: Govind Guru was a great social reformer who took upon himself the responsibility of the social and moral progress of Bhils. Apart from the social perspective, he collectively helped them to bring them into the mainstream of political existence.

The establishment of Samp Sabha : Govind Guru served Bhils and in 1883, he established Samp Sabha. In the Rajasthani language, the meaning of Samp is ‘the people’. Through the medium of this assembly, the Bhils of Mewar, Dungarpur, Edar, Gujarat, Vijaynagar and Malwa had societal awareness and this worried the native rulers as also the Britishers, and Bhils were forced to leave the path of Bhagats.

When they were forced to do forced labour, and their basic rights to forest produce and access to it were snatched away were they felt helpless and were forced to revolt. By the efforts of Guru Narayan alongwith spread of education, progress also took place, example, when the habit of drinking liquor decreased in Kushalgarh and Banswara states, the revenue department had to bear losses, Britishers considered the possibility of establishment of Bhil state for their improvement and organisation.

The progress of movement and suppressive action : In April 1913, Dungarpur, state first arrested and then released Govind Guru who left with his associates to the mountains of Maangarh in Edar state that is situated at the border of Banswada and Sath state. In October 1913, in his messages he urged Bhils to assemble at the mountain of Maangarh. Bhils gathered in large numbers along with weapons. They beat up two soldiers of the Banswada state.

The fort of Sath was attacked. This action angered Banswada, Dungarpur states and with the permission of Ag. G. between 6th to 10th Novemeber 1913, two companies of Mewar, one company of 104 Welleselly even their one company of Rajput regiment and one company of Jaat regiment reached the mountain of Maangarh and attaked Bhils by artillery.

According to government statistics, 1500 Bhils were killed in this action. This massacre was deemed by the historians as more cruel than the merciless killings in Jallianwala Bagh. This way Bhagat Movement as directed was suppressed, Govind Guru was sentenced to 10 years, imprisonment.

It is clear that the Bhils had no important political expectations but their societal unity became a challenge for Britishers and native rulers. Govind Guru was in favour of non – violence and their white flag was the symbol of peace. He proved to be farsighted by the results of movement. Alongwith Bhils the political awareness arose in other sections.

Motilal Tejawat and Akki movement: After the Bhagat movement was suppressed, slackened, dampened or torn apart by Britishers, the movement of Bhils. Still the influence of Bhagat movement worked in political consciousness of the Bhils. The government policy against Bhils was revealed. In 1917, Bhils and Garasiyas jointly wrote a letter to Maharana about their revolt against oppressive policy and forced labour.

With no result in sight and influenced by Bijolia farmer movement against Maharana’s maximum taxes and oppressive behaviour, a complaint was lodged. When all these non-violent efforts had no results, the Bhils in the Khalsa areas so of majority refused to pay or clear the manufacturing cost, and to do forced labour. In 1921, the Bhils received the leadership of Motilal Tejavat.

Tejavat motivated the Bhils not to pay the manufacturing costs and not to do forced labour. This became famous by the name of Akki movement. This movement was accepted as symbol of tribal political awakening. The Maharawal of Dungarpur worried at the spread of movement, ended all types of Forced labour from his state. In the Jagiri areas, the Bhils not receiving the amenities was a reason.

The Akki movement in the collective form under the leadership of Tejawat spread to other than majority areas of Sirohi and Gujrat. British government adopted oppressive policy. On 3 June, 1922 Tejawat was imprisoned and handed over to Mewar government.

The highest court of Mewar sought an assurance in .writing from Tejawat not to work against the state. With the interference of a close confidant of Gandhiji, Manilal Kothari, an agreement was finalised. On 16th April 1936 a Tejawat in written form gave desired assurance and on 23 April, he was released.

In a city 20% of the population travels by car, 50% travels by bus and 10% travels by both car and bus. Then, persons travelling by car or bus are(A) 80%(B) 40%(C) 60%(D) 70%

Answer»

(C) 60%

Let C = Population travels by car

B = Population travels by bus

n(C) = 20%, n(B) = 50%, n(C ∩ B) = 10%

n(C ∪ B) = n(C) + n(B) – n(C ∩ B)

= 20% + 50% – 10%

= 60%

Find x, y and z, given that the numbers x, 10, y, 24, z are in A.P.

Answer»

A.P = x, 10, y, 24, z,… 

d = t2 – t1 = 10 – x … (1) 

= t3 – t2 = y – 10 … (2) 

= t4 – t3 = 24 – y … (3) 

= t5 – t4 = z – 24 … (4) 

(2) and (3) 

⇒ y – 10 = 24 – y 

2y = 24 + 10 = 34 

y = 43/2 = 17 

(1) and (2) 

⇒ 10 – x = y – 10 

10 – x = 17 – 10 = 7 

-x = 7 – 10

-x = -3 ⇒ x = 3 

From (3) and (4) 

24 – y = z – 24 

24 – 17 = z – 24 

7 = z – 24 

∴ z = 7 + 24 = 31

∴ Solutions x = 3 

y = 17 

z = 31

In a theatre, there are 20 seats in the front row and 30 rows were allotted. Each successive row contains two additional seats than its front row. How many seats are there in the last row?

Answer»

Number of seats in the first row 

(a) = 20 

∴ t1 = 20 

Number of seats in the second row 

(t2) = 20 + 2 = 22 

Number of seats in the third row 

(t3) = 22 + 2 = 24

Here a = 20 ; d = 2

Number of rows 

(n) = 30 

tn = a + (n – 1)d 

t30 = 20 + 29(2) 

= 20 + 58 

t30 = 78 

Number of seats in the last row is 78

Find the H.C.F. of 252525 and 363636.

Answer»

To find the HCF of 252525 and 363636 by using

Euclid’s Division algorithm.

363636 = 252525 x 1 + 111111

The remainder 111111 ≠ 0

By division of Euclid’s algorithm

252525 = 111111 x 2 + 30303

The remainder 30303 ≠ 0

Again by division of Euclid’s algorithm

111111 = 30303 x 3 + 20202

The remainder 20202 ≠ 0

Again by division of Euclid’s algorithm.

30303 = 20202 + 10101

The remainder 10101 ≠ 0

Again by division of Euclid’s algorithm.

20202 = 10101 x 2 + 0

The remainder is 0

∴ The H.C.F. is 10101

26.

If m, n are natural numbers, for what values of m, does 2n x 5n ends in 5?

Answer»

2n x 5m

2n is always even for all values of n.

5m is always odd and ends with 5 for all values of m.

But 2n x 5m is always even and ends in 0.

∴ 2n x 5m cannot end with the digit 5 for any values of m. No value of m will satisfy 2n x 5m ends in 5.

27.

A positive integer, when divided by 88, gives the remainder 61. What will be the remainder when the same number is divided by 11?

Answer»

Let the positive integer be “x”

Since 88 is a multiple of 11

61 = 11 x 5 + 6

∴ The remainder is 6

28.

Prove that two consecutive positive integers are always coprime.

Answer»

Let the numbers be I, I + 1:

They are co-prime if only +ve integer that divides both is 1.

I is given to be +ve integer.

So I = 1, 2, 3, ….

∴ One is odd and the other one is even. Hence H.C.F. of the two consecutive numbers is 1. Hence the result.

29.

For what values of natural number n, 4th can end with the digit 6?

Answer»

4n = (22)n = 22n

30.

When the positive integers be a, b and c are divided by 13, the respective remainders are 9, 7 and 10. Show that a + b + c is divisible by 13.

Answer»

Let the positive integers be a, b, and c.

a = 13 q + 9

b = 13q + 1

c = 13 q + 10

a + b + c = 13q + 9 + 13q + 7 + 13q + 10

= 39q + 26

= 13 (3q + 2)

Which is divisible by 13.

31.

Prove that the product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2.

Answer»

Let n – 1 and n be two consecutive positive integers, then the product is n(n – 1) 

n(n – 1) = n– n

We know that any positive integer is of the form 2q or 2q + 1 for same integer q

Case 1:

When n = 2 q

n2 – n = (2q)2 – 2q

= 4q2 – 2q

= 2q (2q – 1)

= 2 [q (2q – 1)]

n2 – n = 2 r

r = q(2q – 1)

Hence n – n. divisible by 2 for every positive integer.

Case 2:

When n = 2q + 1

n2 – n = (2q + 1)2 – (2q + 1)

= (2q + 1) [2q + 1 – 1]

= 2q (2q + 1)

n2 – n = 2r

r = q (2q + 1)

n2 – n divisible by 2 for every positive integer.

Write a note on the concept of human rights as one of the greatest driving forces of our times.मानव अधिकारों के वर्तमान समय के अत्यधिक शक्तिशाली व्यवस्था होने की अवधारणा पर एक टिप्पणी लिखिए।

Answer»

It is right that the concept of human rights is one of the driving forces of our times. The human rights inspections and publicising of abuses compel the governments to protect them. The human rights record of a state has become the ligitimate concern of the international community. There is, as Jerome Shestack observed, ‘a moral inevitability to human rights’.

यह सही है कि हमारे समय में मानव अधिकारों के अत्यधिक शक्तिशाली होने की व्यवस्था की अवधारणा है। मानव अधिकारों के निरीक्षण व दुरुपयोग का प्रचार सरकारों को इनकी रक्षा करने को बाध्य करता है। एक देश का मानव अधिकार रिकार्ड अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय बिरादरी की विधिसंगत चिंता बन जाता है। जैसा कि जेरोम सेस्टैक कहते हैं, ‘यह मानव अधिकारों के प्रति एक नैतिक अनिवार्यता है।’
