15 Suggest a few broad guidelines that should be kept in mind while devising ways and means for political reforms in India. Explain any three guidelines.

Ans:

1. Reforms through Legal Ways:-. Law has an important role to play in political reform. But legal-constitutional changes by themselves cannot overcome challenges to democracy.
Example: LBW

2. Any legal change must carefully look at what results it will have on politics. Sometimes the results may be counter-productive. For example, many states have banned people who have more than two children from contesting Panchayat elections. This has resulted in denial of democratic opportunity to many poor and women, which was not intended.

3. The best laws are those, which empower people to carry out democratic reforms. „The Right to Information Act‟ is a good example of a law that empowers the people to find out what is happening in government and act as watchdogs of democracy. Such a law helps to control corruption and supplements the existing laws that banned corruption and imposed strict penalties.

2. Through the war years prices increased and economic hardship of the people.

3. Villages were called upon to supply soldiers, and the forced recruitment in rural areas caused widespread anger.

4. Then in 1918-19 and 1920-21, crops failed in many parts of India, resulting in acute shortages of food. This was accompanied by an influenza epidemic.

5. According to the census of 1921, 12 to 13 million people perished as a result of famines and the epidemic.

17 „Mass production became an important feature of the US economy and industrial production started by late nineteenth century‟. Who was responsible for this change? Explain briefly about his contributions towards US economy. 

Ans:

1. A well-known pioneer of mass production was the car manufacturer Henry Ford. (1Mark)

2. He adapted the assembly line of a Chicago slaughterhouse (in which slaughtered animals were picked apart by butchers as they came down a conveyor belt) to his new car plant in
Detroit. 

3. He realised that the „assembly line‟ method would allow a faster and cheaper way of

producing vehicles. The assembly line forced workers to repeat a single task mechanically and continuously – such as fitting a particular part to the car – at a pace dictated by the conveyor belt. 

OR

„In the twentieth century, handloom cloth production expanded steadily almost trebling between 1900 and 1940‟. Explain how did it happen? 

Ans:
1. Handicrafts production actually expanded in the twentieth century. This is true even in the case of the handloom sector that we have discussed. While cheap machine-made thread wiped out the spinning industry in the nineteenth century, the weavers survived, despite problems. In the twentieth century, handloom cloth production expanded steadily: almost trebling between 1900 and 1940. 

2. Handicrafts people adopt new technology if that helps them improve production without excessively pushing up costs. So, by the second decade of the twentieth century we find
weavers using looms with a fly shuttle.

3. This increased productivity per worker, speeded up production and reduced labour demand. By 1941, over 35 per cent of handlooms in India were fitted with fly shuttles: in regions like Travancore, Madras, Mysore, Cochin, Bengal the proportion was 70 to 80 per cent. There were several other small innovations that helped weavers improve their productivity and compete with the mill sector.

OR

“Bombay films have contributed in a big way to produce an image of the city as a blend of dream and reality, of slums and star bungalows”. Justify. 

Ans: 1. Many Bombay films deal with the arrival in the city of new migrants, and their encounters with the real pressures of daily life. Example: CID and Gust house.

2. Harishchandra Sakharam Bhatwadekar shot a scene of a wrestling match in Bombay‟s Hanging Gardens and it became India‟s first movie in 1896.

3. Dadasaheb Phalke made Raja Harishchandra (1913). After that, there was no turning back.

4. By 1925, Bombay had become India‟s film capital, producing films for a national audience. The amount of money invested in about 50 Indian films in 1947 was Rs 756 million. By 1987, the film industry employed 520,000 people.
5. Most of the people in the film industry were themselves migrants who came from cities like Lahore, Calcutta, and Madras and contributed to the national character of the industry. Those who came from Lahore, then in Punjab, were especially important for the development of the Hindi film industry.

6. Many famous writers, like Ismat Chughtai and Saadat Hasan Manto, were associated with Hindi cinema.
