The movement Vande Mataram in Andhra region was known as1. Non-Cooperation2. Swadeshi3. Civil Disobedience4. Khilafat

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Swadeshi

 The Swadeshi movement was part of the Indian independence movement and contributed to the development of Indian nationalism.

  • The movement, begun in 1906 by Indian nationals opposed to the Partition of Bengal, was one of the most successful movements against British rule.
  • Swadeshi was a focus of Mahatma Gandhi, who described it as the soul of swaraj (self-rule).
  • It was the most significant movement in Bengal and was known as the Vande Mataram movement in Andhra Pradesh.
  • The movement ended in 1911.
  • The government's decision to partition Bengal was made in December 1903.
  • The official reason was that Bengal, with a population of 78 million, was too large to be administered; the real reason, however, was that it was the centre of the revolt, and company officials could not control the protests which they thought would spread throughout India.
  • Bengal was divided by language and religion: the western half would be primarily Hindu, and the eastern half would be primarily Muslim.
  • This divide-and-conquer strategy sparked the Swadeshi movement.

Hence, the correct answer is Swadeshi.

“A nation is an imaginary society.” Do you agree with this opinion? Explain.

Answer»

I agree. Nationalism is the feeling that one is the son/daughter of a particular nation even if he/she is living in another country because of his/her work. For example, an Indian may work and live in Dubai or New York. But nationalism reminds him that he is a son of India and he should be loyal to her. He should be proud of the fact that he is an Indian and do all he can to keep her dignity up. The Palestine nationalism was even above territory. Even though there was no territory for Palestine, Palestine nationalism was very strong. The strong nationalism gave birth to the State of Palestine which now consists of West Bank and Gaza Strip.

There are States in India that demand autonomy. What are the major demands of such States?

Answer»

Many States and Political Parties demand more autonomy for States. But autonomy means different things to different States and Parties. By Division of authority what some States want is more powers to be given to them. Many States and Political Parties demand more self-rule for their States.

Another demand is that States must have their own sources of income and they  should have greater control over their natural resources. Some States wanted autonomy so that they can control their resources. A third demand is that Centre should not interfere with the State administration. The States can’t tolerate the intervention by the Centre. The fourth reason for self-rule is linked to cultural and language matters. The opposition to Hindi in Tamil Nadu and the imposition of Punjabi in Punjab are causes of protest. The domination of the Hindi speaking States over the other States often causes rifts. Some States protested saying that Hindi was being forcefully imposed on them

Evaluate the Centre-State relations in India.

Answer»

The Constitution is merely framework of Federalism. It is the political processes that supply the flesh and blood to it. Therefore the changing political processes are the most important factor that influences Indian federalism. 

Demand for administrative autonomy: 

Many States of India are clamoring for greater autonomy. Often this causes rifts between the Centre and the states. The role of Governors and President’s rule: The role of Governors has caused many rifts between the Centre and the states. Often the Governors have to work as yes-men to the Central Government. Presidential rule in case of Constitutional Emergency is also a matter of conflict.

Demand for New States: 

This is another headache for the Federalism. For example, the demand for Telangana State. Inter-State Conflicts: Sometimes these conflicts grow to such levels that federalism itself is threatened

Answer»

Chipko movement is related with Tree

The Chipko movement was a non-violent agitation in 1973 that was aimed at protection and conservation of trees, but, perhaps, it is best remembered for the collective mobilisation of women for the cause of preserving forests, which also brought about a change in attitude regarding their own status in society. The uprising against the felling of trees and maintaining the ecological balance originated in Uttar Pradesh’s Chamoli district (now Uttarakhand) in 1973 and in no time spilled onto other states in north India. The name of the movement ‘chipko’ comes from the word ’embrace’, as the villagers hugged the trees and encirled them to prevent being hacked.
