Discribe how rain water harvesting in semi aried reigion of Rajasthan is carried out |
| Answer» In semi arid regions of Rajasthan\xa0rainwater harvesting\xa0is carried out in their own manner. Houses have traditionally constructed underground tanks or ‘tankas’ for storing rainwater which they use for drinking and other purposes. These are big and are a part of well-developed rooftop\xa0rainwater harvesting system. These tanks are constructed inside the main house or the courtyard and are connected to the sloping roofs of the houses through a pipe. The rain falling on the rooftop travels down through the pipe and is stored in\xa0the tanks(tankas). The first spell of rain is not collected as this water cleans the roof and pipes.During summer when all other sources of water dry up, these tanks remain the best source of water. The water is sweet and cool here and also help in keeping the houses cool due to conduction. | |

How the three sectors(Primary, Secondary and Tertiary )are interrelated with each other? |
|
Answer» There are three sectors of economy feasibly found i.e. Primary sector, Secondary sector and Tertiary sector. All the three sectors are interdependent.Some examples are given to elucidate this fact(i) Agricultural activities produce raw materials for agro- based industries and food for employees in Secondary and Tertiary sectors. It shows industrial sector and service sector’s dependency on Primary sector.(ii) Industrial activities produce instruments like tractor, fertiliser for agricultural inputs and increase production and productivity in agriculture. Here, Primary sector depends on Secondary sector.(iii) Transportation facilities are much required for transportation of agricultural products and industrial products to market rural and urban centres. Here, Primary and Secondary sector depend on Tertiary sector.(iv) Industrial sector produces trucks, autos etc for transportation, computer assets for proper banking activities and knowledge outsourcing. So, it shows that now Tertiary sector depends on Secondary sector.(v) If farmer does not produce grain, all people will starve and employees in Secondary and Tertiary sectors will pay much for food items and their life will be scarce.Marketisation, storage and transportation inadequacy will put obstacle for farmers to link with their consumer and its earning will be reduced and life will be miserable. It shows that Secondary and Tertiary sectors depend on Primary sector.So, it is reflected that all the sectors of economy are highly interdependent in India and also elsewhere in the world. Primary sector produces raw material and the secondry produces its products and tertiary provides services or we can tell that it transport it from one place to another . So ,they are interrelated to each other to fullfill their requirments. |

Notes on federalism |
|
Answer» Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country. Usually, a federation has two levels of government. One is the government for the entire country that is usually responsible for a few subjects of common national interest. The others are governments at the level of provinces or states that look after much of the day-to-day administering of their state. Both these levels of governments enjoy their power independent of the other. Ncert civics chapter 2 |

Explain tworeason of power sharing |
| Answer» Power sharing is desirable for various concrete reasons. Two sets of reasons have been listed out which favours power sharing in two different manners like: Prudential reason and Moral reason.Prudential Reason• According to prudential reason power sharing accommodates social diversity hence, helps in reducing the possibility of conflict between social groups.• Power sharing in another way ensures the political stability through competition among various political parties.• Besides, power sharing is also desirable to the promotion of national unity and integrity.Moral Reason• Moral Reason is a very deeper reason of power sharing.• According to moral reason power sharing is desirable to produce an accountable, responsible and legitimate government.• It implies maximum popular participation through decentralisation of powers so that people would be consulted on how th£y are to be governed.In this way, both the sets of reasons signify the importance of power sharing in the forms of Community Government, Reserved Constituencies and Decentralisation of powers. | |

what is majoritism?how was it established in Sri Lanka . |
|
Answer» thanks Majoritarianism means a belief that the majority community should be able to rule a country in whichever way it wants, by disregarding the wishes and needs of the minority, e.g., Sri Lanka opted for majoritarianism in which majority Sinhalas rule the country.Sri Lanka emerged as an independent country in 1948. The democratically elected government adopted a series of measures to establish Sinhala supremacy.\tIn 1956, an Act was passed to make Sinhala as the official language.\tThe government followed preferential policies favouring Sinhala applicants for University positions and government jobs.\tThe constitution provided for State protection for Buddhism. The Sri Lankan Tamils felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders were sensitive to their language and culture and denied them equal political rights which led to increased feeling of alienation among them. |

Why junkers supported the liberals ? |
| Answer» The 1848 revolution of the liberals refers to the discontent and various national movements pioneered by educated middle classes alongside the revolts of the poor, unemployed and starving peasants and workers in Europe. While in countries like France, food shortages and widespread unemployment during 1848 led to popular uprisings, in other parts of Europe (such as Germany, Italy, Poland and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), men and women of the liberal middle classes came together to voice their demands for the creation of nation-states based on parliamentary principles.

They wanted to establish individual freedom and equality before the\xa0law and equal political rights.\tSocially, they wanted to rid society of its class-based partialities and birthrights. Serfdom and bonded labour had to be abolished.The\xa0Issue\xa0of political rights to women also was a social issue. Liberal also stressed the inviolability of private property.\tEconomically they demanded freedom of markets and right to property.

How reinterpretation of history played an important role in developing India\'s sense of nationalism |
| Answer» By the end of the 19th century many Indians began feeling that to instill a sense of pride in the nation Indian history had to be thought about differently.The British saw Indians as backward and primitive, incapable of governing themselves.In response, Indians began looking into the past to discover India\'s great achievements. They wrote about the glorious developments in ancient times when art and architecture, science and mathematics, religion and culture, law and philosophy, crafts and trade had flourished.This glorious time in their view, was followed by a history of decline, when India was colonised.These nationalist histories urged the leaders to take pride in India\'s great achievements in the past and struggle to change the miserable conditions of life under British rule. | |

Explain the orgin of social difference |
| Answer» There are many origins of social differences(i) Social difference means difference in a set of people due to difference in their race, religion, language or culture. But these differences are more than an accident of nature.A person does not choose his community where he would be born. He just happens to be born in a particular community. People are tall or short, dark or fair, male or female, more by accident.and not by their own choice.(ii) However, some choices can be made by us. People choose to follow or not to follow a particular religion. They can choose their field of study and the career path, games and cultural activities.(iii) Social differences are also created by economic inequalities existing in the society, e.g. rich and poor persons from the same family often do not keep close relation with each other for they feel they are very different. | |
