Answer»

The early Indian entrepreneurs made their fortune and wealth with their increasing trade with China.

How did the Indian National Movement affect Indian entrepreneurs?

Answer»

The colonial rulers restricted Indian trade. The Indian traders were barred from trading with Europe in manufactured goods. They had to export mostly raw materials and food grains, especially cotton, opium, wheat and indigo. They were also gradually restricted from the logistics business. In most situations, the capital was provided by the Indian financiers and the European Agencies made all the investment and business decisions. The European Managing Agencies dominated industrial production in India. They were interested in the production and export of tea, coffee, indigo, jute and other plantations crops. They were primarily exported and was not for sale in India. 

With the inauguration of the swadeshi movement during the 20th century, nationalists mobilised people to boycott foreign cloth and commodities. Thus the market for Indian commodities and services increased throughout the country. The production of swadeshi goods increased. This contributed to the rapid growth, especially in the smallscale sector. Thus the National Movement largely benefitted the entrepreneurs.

How data encapsulation and data abstraction are implemented in Python, explain with an example.

Answer»

Abstraction and Encapsulation are complementary concepts. Through encapsulation only we are able to enclose the components of the object into a single unit and separate the private and public members. It is through abstraction that only the essential behaviors of the objects are made visible to the outside world. 

So, we can say that encapsulation is the way to implement data abstraction. For example in class Student, only the essential information like roll no, name, date_of_birth, course, etc. of the student will be visible. The secret information like calculation of grades, allotment of examiners etc. will be hidden.
