llessey war.6 What were the results of Battle of Buxar?ctivitw |
|
Answer» The Battle of Buxar had far-reaching results so far as the establishment of the British Empire in India is concerned. It influenced the political condition of Bengal in particular and that of India in general. There was a great change in the administration of Bengal after the Buxar debacle. Immediately after the defeat of Mir Kasim, the English placed the old Mir Jafar again on the throne of Bengal. As he had promised the English to compensate their loss in the Battle of Buxar, it became a hard task for him to keep his promises. He left himself totally in the mercy of the company whose servants started exploiting the Nawab along with the people of Bengal. The intensity of this exploitation was far greater than before. Now the administration of Bengal was managed solely by the British. The Nawab remained as an insignificant cipher. The Battle of Buxar reduced the power and position of Shuja-ud-daula, the Nawab Wazir of Oudh. After his defeat at Buxar he acknowledged the supremacy of the British. He was forced to pay an amount of rupees fifty lakhs to the company as compensation. Besides he had ceded to the company two districts such as Kora and Allahabad along with the Zamindaries of Chunar and Banaras. The Nawab was also forced to allow the British to carry on trade and commerce in his territories with paying any tax or tariff. The Battle of Buxar also reduced the power and position of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam. He allowed the company to collect revenue of Bihar, Bengal and Orissa in exchange of the districts of Kora and Allahabad and an annual allowance of rupees twenty-six lakhs only. Thus, the British got the right to collect administer the revenues of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. The Battle of Buxar, on the other hand, enhanced the power of East India Company. it managed to extend its jurisdiction beyond the boundary of Bengal. It got an opportunity to enter successfully into the politics of India. It helped the British to carve out their empire in India In short The results of battle of Buxar were as follows -Robert Clive, the Britishcommander in the battle, was appointed as the Governor General of Bengal.Heforced Shah Alam and Shuja-ud-Daulah to sign treaties of Allahabad.Shuja-ud-Daulah, Mir Qasim and Shah Alam were engaged in wars against theCompany's army at Buxar.

Answer» The combination of politics & social divisions is very explosive and dangerous.a) Democracy involves competition among various political parties. Their competitions tend to divide society.b) If they start competing in terms of some existing social divisions, they can make social divisions into political divisions and lead to conflict, violence or even disintegration of a country.c) Social divisions affect voting in most countries, people from one community tend to prefer one party more than others.d) In many countries there are parties which focus only on one community.--yet all this does not always lead to disintegration. This has happened in many countries ---Examples (negative results)1. As in the case of Northern Ireland, this region of UK has been for many years a sight of violence& bitter ethno- political conflict.--Its population is divided into two major sects of Christianity: 53%--Protestants & 44%--Catholics.--Catholics are represented by the Nationalist parties, who wanted Northern Ireland to be united with the Republic of Ireland, predominantly catholic.--Protestants are represented by the Unionist who wanted to remain with UK.--hundreds of civilians and militants were killed in the fight of political parties till 1998, the UK govt. & the Nationalists reached a peace treaty after which the latter suspended the armed struggle.2. In Yugoslavia the political competition along religious and ethnic lines led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia into six independent countries.--such examples lead some people to think that politics & social divisions should not be allowed to mix; if social divisions exists in a country they must never be expressed in politics. POSITIVE EXAMPLES:Every expression of social division in politics does not lead to disasters. Social divisions of some or the other kind do exist in every society of the world and are reflected in politics.--in a democracy it is only natural that political parties talk of these divisions, make different promises to different communities, look after their representation and policies to redress the grievances of disadvantaged communities. |

How dies Raikas of Rajasthan Practice cattle rearing? |
|
Answer» They are groups of people. In the deserts of Rajasthan lived the Raikas. The rainfall in the region is less and uncertain. On cultivated land, harvest fluctuated every year. Over vast stretches, no crop could be grown. So the Raikas combined cultivation with pastoralism. During the monsoon, the Raikas of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Bikaner stayed in their home villages, where pasture was available. By October, when grazing grounds were dry and exhausted, they moved out in search of other pastures and water, and returned again during the next monsoon. One group of Raikas known as Maru Raikas herded camels and another group reared sheep and goat.OR They are groups of people on the move with their herds of goats and sheep or camels or cattle. |

Give long answers for the following questions.What is amendment? Why are amendments made in the Constitution?D. |
|
Answer» The Constitution was written with the intention that it would define the explicit powers of the federal government, along with a framework for how it would operate (election of office holders, functions of key positions, etc.). The powers afforded the government were called “enumerated powers” because if the ability to do something wasn’t explicitly included in the Constitution, the government wasn’t entitled to do it. Beyond that, there were a number of other things that the authors of the Constitution were concerned that, since they weren’t explicitly mentioned in the Constitution itself, they might eventually and very slowly be infringed upon. So they wrote the first ten Amendments, calling them the Bill of Rights. What is interesting about these Amendments is that they do not grant rights to the People, they acknowledge that these rights exist outside of government, therefore the government may not legislate to diminish or deny these rights. These are called “negative rights” because they require the government to refrain from acting to harm the holders of those rights. In other words, the First Amendment right to free speech requires the government to refrain from abridging public speech. Later Amendments are the more traditional form, where the Amendment is intended to alter, add or remove something in the Constitution. For instance, the Constitution originally considered negro slaves to constitute 3/5 of a person for purposes of calculating population that determined how many Representatives the southern states would get, but the Fourteenth Amendment ensures that all people born in the United States are full citizens, thus overriding the three-fifths clause. give it a little shorter |
