Compare the flora and fauna of sahara desert with ladakh desert. |
|
Answer» Ans :- Vegetation: The Sahara Desert is often described as a bleak and barren plain. In truth, it is very beautiful and full of different Sahara Desert vegetation. Among desert areas throughout the Earth, there are two types. The cold type of desert, which is often found in Arctic regions, is an area that gets very little precipitation. The cold desert can be covered in snow, however, and the temperatures here are chilly and unsuitable for sustaining many life forms. The other type of desert is known as the hot desert, and this is what people usually think of when they picture a desert area. This type of desert is extremely warm and dry, with temperatures reaching unbearable levels, and little to no rain to sustain those who live here. The biggest of the hot deserts is the Sahara Desert, located in Africa. Although this desert is not the most hospitable place for organisms to take up residence, the Sahara Desert vegetation defies the odds and thrives here. Many of the Sahara Desert species in existence today are different than those you would have found in the area during the end of the last ice age. At that time in history, melting ice sheets from the ice age as well as weather patterns which caused monsoon conditions in the region allowed much more vegetation to grow in the Sahara. In around the year 2500 BC, the monsoon conditions retreated to the south, allowing for the desertification of the Sahara region, which returned it to the dry state it was in before the last ice age.

er Questions.What do you understand by nomads? Name a few tribes inhabiting the Sahara desert |
|
Answer» A nomad is someone who lives by traveling from place to place. Nomadic thus means anything that involves moving around a lot. Nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes follow the animals they hunt, carrying tents with them. You don't have to be a nomad to live a nomadic lifestyle. There are 2 tribes that are known to the Sahara desert and their names are Tuareg tribe and Bedouin tribe. The Tuareg tribe are said to be tall, fair skinned and Berber-speaking nomadic people. The Bedouin tribe men call themselves people of the tent. These people are Arabs that are not known to be very high on the social Hierarchy as their jobs are mainly camel raisers, drivers and nomads. |

ÂŤLegal ways of reforming politics need to be resisted.â Support thestatement with examples. |
|
Answer» Devising new laws can help to discourage the practice of wrong political practices and encourage new ones.But these changes can't only help to reform politics that is a challenge to democracy. For example, just by changing the rules in cricket can't improve the quality of the game.In cricket, players, coaches and administrators can improve and bring good changes to the game. Similarly, in politics, the reforms have to be carried out by political parties, activists, pressure group, movements and politically conscious citizens. |

11ăFor development, people look at a mixof goals". Support the statement with threesuitable examples. |
|
Answer» It is true that for development, people look at a mix of goals, e.g. :(i) If women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increases. So dignity is an important goal.(ii) However, it is also the case that if there is respect for women there would be more sharing of housework and greater acceptance of women working outside.(iii) A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or run a business. These are goals other than income. Hence development goal is not only for better income but for other important things in life. |

present wants are more important than future wants.justify the statement with examples of daily life |
|
Answer» The requirement of Food and clothing is a recurring want. We would need it everyday, we don’t plan for it but we know that it is a requirement and it has to be satisfied. This is the purpose, the elders went for work. This is purpose, new items flourish the market everyday and this is where people use items which are bad for health. For example, Maggie, the taste was very good and it was number one in the market. It was later found out that they are adding chemicals to increase the taste in that which is not good for our health. Clothing is another item which we need it everyday but, after wearing two or three times, we get bored with it and would purchase a new one. How often we purchase, depends on the cash flow. |

How did Indian National Army fight for Indian Freedom struggl |
|
Answer» The INA resulted from an informal alliance between exiled political leaders of the Indian Independence League (IIL), which sought India’s freedom from British colonial rule, and the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). The INA existed in two distinct incarnations. In the first, it was raised and initially led by a disillusioned British Indian army officer, Captain Mohan Singh, who had been captured in the opening stages of the Japanese invasion of Malaya. After the British surrender at Singapore in February 1942, Singh recruited Indian troops of the British Indian army from Japanese prisoner of war (POW) camps with the aim of eventually fighting the British in India. |

spirit l utDo you think that the condition of workers employed in industries hashas this improved/deteriorated?2.at ways |
|
Answer» Post independence, the issue of employment has had different resonance during different Plan periods. In the initial years of development planning, unemployment was not expected to emerge as a major problem. It was assumed that reasonable growth rate and labour intensive sectors would prevent any increase in unemployment and this expectation continued from one Five Year Plan to another during the 1950's and 1960's. However, the economy grew at a slower pace (around 3.5 as against the planned rate of 5 per cent per annum) and the labour force grew more rapidly than the increase in employment , doubling the unemployment figures during 1956-1972, from around 5 to 10 million and increasing the unemployment rate from 2.6 to 3.8 per cent (Papola, 1992). 32.2 The above figures were however estimates in absence of any comprehensive survey or records. The availability of detailed information vis a vis the earlier estimates, from 1972-73 (NSSO Quinquennial Surveys ) changed the official approach to employment in mid 1970’s. It was increasingly realised that economic growth alone could not be relied upon to tackle the issue of unemployment any more . Therefore, a number of employment generation & and poverty alleviation programs were started since fifth five year plan (1974-79).Summary of unemployment rates over NSS rounds i.While employment growth has been lower in 2009-10 and 2011-12, unemployment rate in India continued to hover around 2 per cent under usual status (ps+ss) and fell under Current Daily Status (CDS). Although the unemployment rate may be lower than what is prevailing now in developed economies, the number of unemployed is significant in absolute terms. During 2004-05, the number of unemployed people was 11.3 million, which declined to 9.8 million in 2009-10 but again increased to 10.8 million in 2011-12 under usual status (ps+ss) (UPS(adj). However, based on the CDS the number of unemployed persond ays declined from 34.3 million in 2004-05 to 28.0 million in 2009-10 and further to 24.7 million in 2011-12. Thus there is steep reduction in unemployment rate under CDS from 8.2 per cent in 2004-05 to 5.6 per cent in 2011-12 .Overall, unemployment rates were lower in 2009-10 under each approach vis-a-vis 2004-05 and during 2011-12 compared to 2009-10, as per UPS(adj) approach, it remained invariant for rural males (2 per cent), rural females (2 per cent) and urban males (3 per cent) but decreased by 1 percentage point for urban females (from 6 per cent in 2009-10 to 5 per cent in 2011-12).The fall in unemployment despite marginal growth in employment in 2009-10 (1.1 million jobs created PS+SS, 2004-05 to 2009-10) and 2011-12 (13.9 million jobs created PS+SS, 2009-10 to 2011-12) , compared to 2004-05 (59.9 million jobs created PS+SS, 1999-2000 to 2004-05) could also be on account of the demographic dividend, as an increasing proportion of the young population opts for education rather than participating in the labour market. This is reflected in the rise in growth in enrolment of students in higher education from 4.9 million in 1990-91 to 28.5 million in 2011-12. Similarly gross enrolment ratio (GER) in Classes I-VIII has also risen from 81.0 in 1999-2000 to 103.9 in 2010-11. In the earlier period (2009-10 compared to 2004-05) unemployment in absolute terms came down by 6.3 million as expansion in labour force was only 11.7 million vis a vis about 18 million increase in work opportunities under the current daily status (CDS) between 2004-5 and 2009-10, as per NSSO quinquennial survey. (The Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12) had aimed at generation of 58 million work opportunities). Compared to 2004-05, even in 2011-12 unemployment had declined. During 2011-12, as in 2009-10, urban unemployment was higher under both the UPSS and CWS but rural unemployment was higher under the CDS approach. This possibly indicates higher intermittent or seasonal unemployment in rural than urban areas, something that employment generation schemes like the MGNREGA need to pay attention to. 32.4 As per NSS results, unemployment rate as per weekly status (CWS) is uniformly higher than that as per Usual Status (adj). This occurs because some persons usually employed might not have worked throughout the year due to seasonality of work or otherwise. This is termed as visible underemployment. The NSS measures the visible underemployment by cross classifying persons by different statuses. For eg. Underemployment rate among the usually employed may be defined as the proportion of usually employed who were |

Answer» Cotton and metals were the most dynamic industries in Britain. During the first phase of industrialization.At the end of the nineteenth century, less than 20% of total workforce was employed in technologically advanced industrial sectors. This shows that the traditional industry could not be displaced by the new industries.The cotton or metal industries could not set the change of pace in the traditional industries. But the traditional industries experienced many changes which were brought by small and apparently ordinary innovations.Machine-made goods were standardized and could not match the high quality finish of hand-made goods.

who were the indo greeks?why is the rule of indo greeks very important in the history of india? |
|
Answer» The Indo-Greek Kingdom or Graeco-Indian Kingdom was an Hellenistic kingdom covering various parts of Afghanistan and the northwest regions of the Indian subcontinent, during the last two centuries BC and was ruled by more than thirty kings, often conflicting with one anotherThe invasion of northern India, and the establishment of what would be known as the "Indo-Greek kingdom", started around 200 BCE whenDemetrius, son of the Greco-Bactrian kingEuthydemus I, Indo-Greek influence declined from the time Bactria itself was attacked by the nomadic tribes from central Asia, the scythians. The penetration of Indo-Greeks, as well as of sakas pahlavas and Kushana influenced the government, society, religion literature and art of ancient India. The very fact that India absorbed influences of these foreigners speaks for the then youthful nature of Indian civilization. The extent of Greek influence of Indian Civilisation is a most point. Whatever the Greek influence that was felt by India came in the wake of Alexander's invasion of the cast and the settlement of Greeks in the Bactrian region. Alexander himself cannot be regarded as the standard bearer of the heritage of ancient Greece. By the time Alexander and his soldiers marched towards the east the culture of Greece was on the decline hence at the most Alexander and his men could have spread a debased version of the great Geek civilization represented by Socrates, Plato, Phidia, Aristotle, Sophocles, Pythagoras and others. Despite the fact that Alexander and his men could not be the true torch bearers of Greek culture to the east, the traces of Greek influence could be definitely found on India civilization. |

a1 & ..9. Write the result of Indo-China war. |
|
Answer» India China did have a war in 1967, which was fought in 2 locations. The war composed of two battles, in Nathu La and Cho La both in the eastern theater. Unlike 1962, the Chinese did not open a front in the Northern area (Ladakh/Aksai Chin). This was mainly because in the 1962 war the PLA did not make any major advances in the North like they did in the Eastern theater. The two incidents were at Nathu La and Cho La and stemmed from Chinese maneuvers to take control of Sikkim. Thinking that the defenses India had were as weak as they were in 1962, the Chinese mobilized forces. However, the Indian forces took preemptive action and started to demark the boundary using barbed wire. This was stopped by the Chinese, and after some time they started a full surprise assault backed by MMG and artillery fire. However, since the Indians occupied the heights, Chinese bunkers were completely annihilated by highly accurate Indian artillery fire over the course of 3 days. The Chinese were forced to withdraw and evacuate all their aggressive positions. The 1967 war was a decisive Indian victory, and was the catalyst of Sikkim merging with India in 1975. |
