Meaning of consumer rights |
| Answer» Right to Be Informed: A consumer has the right to have correct information about a product. There are rules which make it mandatory to mention ingredients and safety features on the pack of a product. Proper information helps a consumer to make informed buying decision. A pack of a product also needs to mention the MRP (Maximum Retail Price) and a consumer can complain if the seller asks for more than the MRP.Right to Choose: A consumer has the right to choose from different options. A seller cannot just offer to sell only one brand to the consumer. The seller has to offer various options to the consumer. This right is usually enforced through laws against monopoly trade.Right to Seek Redressal: If a consumer gets affected by false promises made by the producer or suffers because of manufacturing defect; he has the right to seek redressal. Suppose you took a mobile connection and the bill shows many hidden charges which were not explained to you earlier. Or the mobile company activated a ringtone without your permission. Then you can go to the consumer court to put your case. | |

Who were tommie smith , john carlos and peter norman ? |
| Answer» Peter Norman was an Australian Athlete Norman wore a human rights badge on his shirt during the ceremony to show his support to the dissent of two American Athletes. Norman was not included in the Australian team for the next Olympic.\xa0The International Olympic Association held Tommie Smith and John Carlos guilty of violating the Olympic spirit by making a political statement and as a result, took back their medals as punishment for the offense.

Representation of women at present |
| Answer» \tImprovement in the literacy rate of women:-\xa0No one was taking care of education of women before independence but Indian Government has taken many steps to uplift the level of education among women after independence. That is why the level of education among women has been increased to a great extent. Government has arranged free education for girls, given them the scholarships, arranged for free books so that the people could send their girl child to schools to get education. In this way, education has slowly spread among women and their level and standard of education has started to increase. Now, girls are getting higher education in every sector.\tIndustrialisation:-\xa0Industries started to develop very quickly after independence. Females came out of the four walls of the house, due to education, and started to go out for work which has resulted in lifting the restrictions upon her. Females have started to work in offices with males with which the restrictions of caste system have come to an end. Love marriages started to increase due to her interaction with others.

Females came to know about their rights and freedom because of which their ideology started to change. That is why females now are standing with males in every sector. Now, working women have become economically self dependent and a sense of equality, with males, has developed in them. Many women movements were also started because of which consciousness came among them and changes have come in their status.\tInter-caste marriages:-\xa0Hindu Marriage Act was passed in 1955 which has given the legal sanction to inter-caste marriages. Females have started to work in offices due to the spread of education. She has come in contact with other castes due to her job.

write the causes of Non-cooparation movement |
| Answer» Following are three important causes of the Non-cooperation Movement:Khilafat Movement - The treatment meted out by the British government to the Caliph of Turkey disturbed the Indian Muslims as he was seen as their religious head. As a result, they started the Khilafat Movement under the leadership of the Ali brothers, Maulana Azad, Hasrat Mohani, etc. Gandhiji saw this as an opportunity to achieve the much desired Hindu-Muslim unity and made efforts to make common cause with the Khilafat leaders. He was elected as the President of the All-India Khilafat Conference in 1919 and advised the Khilafat Committee to adopt a policy of non-cooperation with the British government. The Khilafat leaders agreed and campaigned accordingly. Thus, the Khilafat Movement furthered the cause of the Non-cooperation Movement.Rowlatt Act - The Rowlatt Act of 1919 authorised the British government to arrest and imprison any person without trial and convict him in a court. The authorities could arrest an Indian without a warrant and could conduct his trial in seclusion. Also, the Act implied severe restrictions on movements of individuals and suspension of the Right of Habeas Corpus. This was seen as a major breach of trust by Indians who were expecting the British to deliver on their promise of providing self-government. Gandhiji appealed to the Viceroy to withhold his consent to the Act but his plea fell on deaf ears.Jalianwala Bagh Tragedy - The Jalianwala Bagh massacre and the subsequent British reaction to it was a watershed event in the Indian freedom struggle. It led to a huge furor all over the country and hardened the Congress resolve to attain self government. | |
