Factors which helped in the restoration of Congress Party after the split in 1969: Efforts of the government to project its socialist credentials.

No the prevalence of a one party dominant system did not affect adversely the democratic nature of Indian politics: Key role of the Congress in the freedom struggle gave it a head start over others.

(2) 19. a) The first general election was also the first big test of democracy in a poor and illiterate country. Till then democracy had existed only in prosperous countries. It was now proved that democratic election on basis of universal adult Franchise can be held in the condition of lack of education and poverty. (2) b) Problems confronted by election commission are: Delimitation and drawing the boundaries of the electoral constituencies was a task that took a long time Preparing the electoral roll was a challenge, names of nearly 40 lakh women were not recorded Out of 17 crore eligible voters only 15% were literate therefore EC had to think about some special methods of voting. (3) 20. a) Cartoon depicts well established US hegemony on the world stage and other countries may be next in wings. The US will stay on the super power stage till the rest of the world is resistant with the US and the mega state like China, Russia etc follow the strategy to hide.

Map: i. Maharashtra (B) ii. Meghalaya (C) iii. Andhra Pradesh (A)

5 iv. Madhya Pradesh (E) v. Karnataka (D) (5) 22. India s response to ongoing cold war was twofold: It took particular care in staying away from two alliances. It raised its voice against the newly decolonized countries becoming part of these alliances. Non-alignment emerged from India s initiative for formulating an independent foreign policy which was non biased. It served India s interest in two ways: It allowed India to take international decision and Stance that served its interest. India was often able to balance one super power against the other. India s policy of non- alignment was criticized on two grounds: o It was unprincipled as in the name of national interest India refused to take firm stand on crucial issues o India was inconsistent and took contradictory postures. India criticized others for joining alliances but itself Treaty of friendship in 1971 with USSR. (2+2+2) Shock Therapy refers to painful process of transition from an authoritarian socialist system to a democratic capitalist system. The model of transition in Russia, Central Asia and East Europe was influenced by world bank and IMF. It varied in intensity and speed amongst the second world countries. It was not the best way to make a transition because of its negative consequences: Large state controlled industrial complex collapsed Largest garage sale It destroyed the old system of social welfare Privatization led to new disparities Value of Ruble came down Collective farming system disintegrated Democratic institutions were not given attention Mafia emerged in most of these countries and started controlling many economic activities. Or any other relevant point (any six) (6) 23. Globalisation means integrating our economy with the world economy. It deals with free flow of goods, services, people and ideas. It is a multi-dimensional concept. (explain). India opted for it to overcome economic crisis it faced in 1991 and its desire for higher rate of economic growth.

6 Resistance to globalisation in India comes from different quarters: Political parties and Indian social forum protested against economic liberalization. Trade Unions of Industrial workforce and farmer organization protests against the entry of multinationals. The patenting of certain plants like neem by America and European has also generated opposition. Resistance has also come from political rights; particularly objection has come to various cultural influences like valentine s day celebration westernization of the dress (any three) (2+1+3) Global common are those resources which are not owned by any one but rather shared by a community. They include earth s atmosphere Antartica, the ocean floor and outer space. Different environmental concerns becoming important in global politics: a. Cultivable area is barely expanding any more, Agricultural land is losing fertility,grasslands have been overgrazed and fisheries overharvested. b. Safe drinking water is not available to many areas and population. Billions have no access to sanitation, resulting in the death of more than three million children every year. c. Natural forest are being cut and people are being displaced. It has cost climatic disturbance and loss of biodiversity. d. A steady decline in the ozone layer in the Earth s stratosphere is posing a real danger to eco systems and human health. e. Coastal pollution is adding deterioration in the quality of marine environment. (6) 24. Indo- China relations 1) Indo- China relation from India and China both are ancient civilization, sharing a common border and having a relationship with each other for thousands of years. Buddhism spread from India to China. Both were great powers of Asia. India was the first country to recognize communist China. In 1954 India and China signed Panchsheel that marked honeymoon period of Sino-Indian relations. 2) Between (constrained relations) Many contentious issues arose in Sino-Indian relations Border dispute Issue of Tibet Nuclear test issue 3) Between 1976-till today( harmonious relations)

7 After the change in leadership from mid 1970 s China s policy became more Pragmatic. Efforts are made to solve border dispute. In 1996 confidence building agreement was signed. Rajiv Gandhi s visit to China in 1988 marked the improvement in Indo-China relations. Many agreements on trade, cultural exchange and cooperation in science and technology were signed between India and China. (6) Features of India s nuclear policy India believes in both horizontal and vertical nuclear disarmament. It is ready to disarm its nuclear weapons if all other countries of the world possessing nuclear weapons also disarm their nuclear weapons. No first use of weapons and will use nuclear weapons only for defensive purpose. India opposed NPT and CTBT as they were seen unjust and discriminatory. Use of nuclear energy for peaceful purpose It reiterates India s commitment to global, verifiable and non-discriminatory nuclear disarmament leading to a nuclear weapon free world. Any other relevant point. (any four) Reasons for India becoming Nuclear are: India s fear of China. China is already a nuclear state and is a direct threat to India s security. India s hostile relations with Pakistan. Pakistan has been supported by China in its nuclear programs. Thus in order to preserve its national security it was equally important for India to become a nuclear state. Any other relevant point. (4+2=6) 25. UN is not a great balance to the US hegemony because: With the disappearance of Soviet Union, US is the only super power. Its military and economic power allows it to ignore UN US is single largest contributor to the UN UN is physically located within the US territory gives Washington additional source of influence. US has many nationals in the UN bureaucracy. (Any three) But UN is still relevant in post-cold war period: In the unipolar world the UN can and has served to bring US and rest of the world on common platform to discuss common issues US leaders despite frequent criticism see UN as organization dealing with conflicts and socio economic development. The UN does provide a space within which arguments against US attitude are heard, compromises and concession can be shaped

8 Growing connections and interdependence has increased the importance of UN in future. (3+3) Factors responsible for Pakistan s failure for building stable democracy are: Lack of genuine international support for democratic rule Pakistan s conflict with India has made the pro-military group more powerful The social dominance of military, clergy and landowning aristocracy has led to the frequent overthrow of elected government. Global Islamic terrorism and their apprehension that Pakistan s nuclear arsenal might fall in the hands of these terrorist groups. The two pro- democracy factors present are: Courageous and entirely free press Strong human rights movement. (4+2) 26. Popular movements are part of democratic process. It encourages people participation. It provide chance to people to air out their grievances. Through these movements they get a chance to express their thoughts and ideas which is must for the success of democracy. For example Chipko movement, NBA, NFF, Dalit Panther, Anti-Arrack (explain any three) (6) The Punjab Accord was an agreement signed between the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Harchand Singh Longowal, the then President of the Akali Dal in This agreement is known as the Rajiv Gandhi- longowal Accord or Punjab Accord.It was a step towards bringing normalcy in Punjab Main provisions: Chandigarh to be transferred to Punjab A separate commission to be set up to resolve border dispute between Punjab and Haryana A tribunal would be set up to decide the sharing of Ravi-Beas river water between Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan Better treatment of those affected by militancy in Punjab and the withdrawal of the application of Armed Forces Special Powers Act in Punjab. However, peace did not come easily. The cycle of violence continued nearly for decades. Militancy and counter insurgency violence led to excesses by the police and violation of the human rights Politically it led to fragmentation of the Akali Dal President rule and suspension of normal democratic process

9 Not easy to restore the political process in the atmosphere of suspicion and violence All this in turn added to tension between Punjab and its neighbouring countries. (3+3=6) 27. The lessons: i. Extremely difficult to do away with democracy in India. Defeat of Indira Gandhi in 1977 election supports the above fact. ii. Many ambiguities regarding the emergency provision in constitution that have been rectified. It could not have been misused if there had not been ambiguities. iii. Emergency made every citizen aware of their rights and civil liberties in a democracy. iv. No government in India can remain in power if it work against the interest of the common people and its harsh towards the masses. (Any three lessons to be elaborated) (3x2=6) Candidates are free their view point. Weightage should be given for originality and logic If candidate writes yes then the answer may include the following points or any other relevant point: i. People have given absolute majority to one party i.e BJP. ii. People were fed up with the previous experience of coalition government. iii. Regional parties like S.P, BSP, DMK etc have been wiped out. iv. Many important decisions could not be taken due to varying interest of coalition parties If the candidate writes no then the answer may include the following points or any other relevant point i. Regional parties still have relevance and they are ruling in different states. ii. Congress and BJP both are trying continuously to woo the regional parties in their favour. iii. The present government still depends and needs the support of different regional parties to get the the bills passed in the Parliament. iv. At present, congress party is trying to unite the opposition parties and regional parties against the ruling party to regain power. Or any other relevant point. (3x2=6)
