10 POLITICAL SCIENCE S-3 committed to the principles envisaged in the Constitution instead of being committed to a particular party. Q. 14. What do you understand by nationalism? (4) Ans. Generally speaking, nationalism means devotion for the nation. A few important definitions of nationalism are : 1. According to Hayes, Nationalism is a unique combination of nationality, nation state and patriotism. 2. In the words of Hans ohn, Nationalism is first and foremost a state of mind and act of consciousness. 3. According to Gross, Nationalism is a sentimental political concept directly related to struggle for power, which respects the individuality of states, recognies the variations in law and government and segregates group from group on the basis of a common core of ideals and beliefs. Q. 15. What is the relationship between economic liberty and social justice? (4) Ans. Economic liberty means security of one s daily bread and reasonable opportunities for earning it. An individual must be made free from the constant fear of unemployment and must be safeguarded against the wants of tomorrow. Economic liberty comprises of an individual s right to work, to earn a minimum wage, the right to leisure by the regulation of hours of work in fields, factories and mines, the right to form unions and the right to provision against old age, sickness, unemployment, accidents and also maternity benefits. Liberal democracy has failed to establish a social order which is just and fair to all members of society. The concept of social justice draws attention to this weakness of liberal democracy and calls for a social order in which everyone is treated with justice and fairness. Social justice involves the creation of a just and fair social order. People should not be discriminated on the basis of caste, religion, colour and sex. All the people should have equal opportunites to develop their personalities. Social justice emphasises on equality before law, equitable distribution of resources, fulfilment of basic needs and abolition of any system which differentiates between individuals. Q. 16. Explain any two devices to prevent war and to maintain peace. (4) Ans. There are various devices to prevent war and maintain peace. Two important devices are as follows : 1. Balance of Power. Balance of power is an important method of maintaining international peace. The basic principle behind balance of Power is that no state or group of states should become so powerful that it may become threat to internationl peace. In the 19th century this method was used to maintain peace in Europe. 2. International Law. In the present age International law is an important method to prevent war and to strengthen peace. Though international law is a weak law, yet most of the civilised states of world give due respect to these laws. Q. 17. Read carefully the passage given below and answer the following question:... I have realised as nobody else could have, with what zeal and devotion the members of the Drafting Committee and especially its Chairman, Dr. Ambedkar in spite of his indifferent health, have worked. We could never make a decision which was or could be ever so right as when we put him on the Drafting Committee and made him its Chairman. He has not only justified his selection but has added lustre to the work which he has done. In this connection, it would be invidious to make any distinction as among the other members of the Committee. I know they have all worked with the same zeal and devotion as its Chairman, and they deserve the thanks of the country.
