Q.17. Each challenge of democracy is linked to the possibility of reforms. So there are some

broad guidelines that can be kept in mind while devising ways and means for political

reforms in India.

a. Legal ways of reforming politics: It is very tempting to think of legal ways of

reforming politics, to think of new laws to ban undesirable things. But this

temptation needs to be resisted.

Actually democratic reforms are to be carried out mainly by political activists,

parties, movements and politically conscious citizens.

b. Reforms through proper legislation: Any legal change must carefully look at what

results it will have on politics.

Generally laws that seek to ban something are not very successful in politics. Laws

that give political actors incentives to do good things have more chances of

working. The best laws are those which empower people to carry out democratic

reforms. The RTI is a good example of this.

c. Reforms through political parties.

d. Reforms through citizens, organisations and media are likely to succeed.

(Any three points) (3)

Q.18. Democracy stands much superior to any other form of government in promoting dignity

and freedom of the individual. Every individual wants to receive respect from fellow

beings. The passion for respect and freedom are the basis of democracy. Democracies

throughout the world have recognised this, at least in principle. For example in the case

of dignity of women, long struggles by women have created some sensitivity today that

respect to and equal treatment of women are necessary ingredients of democracy. Once

the principle is recognised, it becomes easier for women to wage a struggle against any

kind of injustice.

Democracy in India has also strengthened the claims of the disadvantaged and

discriminated castes for equal status and opportunity.

Perhaps it is recognition that makes ordinary citizens value their democratic rights. (3)

Q22. Mahatma Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation. On 31st

January 1930, Gandhiji sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin stating eleven demands. The most

stirring of all was the demand to abolish the salt tax. Salt was something consumed by the

rich and the poor alike and it was one of the most essential items of food. The tax on salt

and the government‘s monopoly over its production was the most oppressive face of the British rule according to Gandhiji.

Lord Irwin was unwilling to negotiate, so Mahatma Gandhi started his

famous salt march accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march was over 240

miles, from Sabarmati ashram to the sea coast of Dandi. The volunteers walked for 24

days, about 10 miles a day. Thousands came to hear Gandhiji wherever he stopped and

he told them what he meant by Swaraj and urged them to peacefully defy the British. On

6th April he reached Dandi and ceremonially violated the law, manufactured salt by

boiling sea water. This marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement. (5)

Q23. In 1903, the modern part of Hanoi was struck by bubonic plague. The French part of

Hanoi was built as a beautiful and clean city with wide avenues and a well laid out sewer

system, while the native quarter was not provided with any modern facilities. (5)

The refuse from the old city drained straight out into the river or during heavy rains or

floods, overflowed into the streets. The large sewers in the modern part of the city were an

ideal and protected breeding ground for the rats. The sewers also served as a great

transport system, allowing the rats to move around the city without any problem. Rats

began to enter the homes of the French. To stem this invasion, a rat hunt was started in

1902. The French hired Vietnamese workers and paid them for each rat that they caught.

Rats began to be caught in thousands.

Result: Those who did the dirty work of entering the sewers found that if they come

together, they could negotiate a higher bounty. They also discovered innovative ways to

profit from this situation. The bounty was paid when a tail was shown as a proof that a rat

had been killed. So the rat catchers just took to clipping the tails and releasing the rats, so

that the process could be repeated, over and over again. Some people began to raise rats

to earn a bounty. Defeated by the resistance of the Vietnamese the French were forced to

scrap the bounty programme. (5)

Q.26. Pressure groups are organisations that attempt to influence government policies. But

unlike political parties, pressure groups do not aim to directly control or share political

power. These organisations are formed when people with common occupation, interests,

aspirations or opinions come together in order to achieve a common objective.

Movements on the other hand are loose organisations whose decision making is more

informed and flexible. They depend much more on spontaneous man participation.

Pressure groups and movements try to influence politics in a variety of ways:

They try to gain public support and sympathy for their goals and activity by carrying

out information campaigns, organising meetings, file petition etc. They also influence

media.

They often organise protest activity like strikes or disrupting government programmes

like dharmas etc.

Business groups often employ professional lobbyists or sponsor expensive

advertisements. Some persons from pressure groups may participate in official bodies

and committees that offer advice to the government. (2+3=5)
