Military treaties and pacts like Nato and Warsah Pact have made situation more tense. India wanted to keep its own sovereignty and didn’t become the member of any group. That’s why India started Non-Aligned Movement with the help of other countries. Founders of this movement were Pt. Jawahar Lai Nehru, Tito of Ugoslavia and Nasir of Egypt.
Non-Aligned Movement started in 1961 A.D. It was based on principles of Panchsheel. All the members of this movement didn’t want to include themselves in any of the alliance. Its first conference held at Belgrade in 1961 A.D. It was started with 25 members but now it has more than 100 members.

Question 12.
Explain in brief the relation between India and Pakistan.
Answer:
India likes to keep friendly relations with all the countries, especially our neighbouring countries. Pakistan and China are the most important neighbouring countries of India.
Brief description of India’s relations with them is given below :
India and Pakistan. India has always tried to keep friendly relations with Pakistan. Pakistan didn’t give its sanction to Kashmir’s inclusion with India. That’s why Kashmir became the main reason of conflict between India and Pakistan. India and Pakistan have fought three wars with each other due to Kashmir problem. Kargil war of 1999 A.D. was one of them.
After the Indo-Pak war of 1971 A.D. Shimla Agreement was signed between Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Pakistani Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The main objective of this agreement was to peacefully resolve all the problems of Indo-Pak. That’s why Lahore Agreement was also signed between Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpai and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Bus service and Railway service was also started between both the countries. People of both the countries came closer to each other due to these services. Indian and Pakistani writers and social servers are free to move from one country to another. So the railway and bus services started between both the countries which could give strength to these friendly relations. We believe that the areas of disputes would be resolved in near future.
India and China. Indian relations with China remained friendly right from ancient times. Both countries were associated with each other due to trade and Buddhism. When Communist revolution came in China in 1949 A.D. then India was the first country to give sanction to new government of China. India also supported China as a member of U.N.O. An agreement took place between India and China in 1954 A.D. on the basis of Panchsheel. But both countries also fought war with each other due to border disputes. Very tense relations remained between both the countries for several years. These relations improved after 1980 A.D. Indian and Chinese Prime Ministers met each other on several occasions and discussed their areas of dispute. Today, both the countries are busy in solving their border disputes.
Question 13.
Write down details of the unification of the princely states.
Answer:
India had to face many problems after getting independence. One of these problems was of local kingdoms. They were 562 jp number and were ruled by Indian kings or rulers. According to Act of 1947 A.D., these kingdoms were free to keep their own freedom or were free to be included in the countries of either India or Pakistan. That’s why many local kingdoms liked to remain free. But first Home Minister of free India Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel handled the matter with great intelligence and asked the rulers of local kingdoms to become a part of Indian union. Small kingdoms were included into provinces.
Some kingdoms were sharing cultural values and even they were sharing common boundries. They were joined and made state. For example kingdoms of Kathiawar were included in Saurashtra and the kingdoms of Patiala, Nabha, Faridkot, Jind and Malerkotla were joined to make Pepsu state. Now only three kingdoms remained which were not ready to be included in India and these were Hyderabad, Junagarh and Kashmir.
Hyderabad: Nizam of the kingdom of Hyderabad Usman Ah Khan refused to merge his kingdom into union of India. So Indian police was sent to Hyderabad on 13th September 1948 A.D. and on 17th September 1948 A.D. kingdom of Hyderabad was merged into union of India.
Junagarh. Nawab of Junagarh wanted to go with Pakistan. But plebiscite (Public Survey) took place in Junagarh on 20th February 1948 A.D. and public wished to be merged in Union of India. Therefore Junagarh was merged into union of India.
Kashmir. Ruler of Kashmir Maharaja Hari Singh also wanted to remain free. But Pakistan wanted to control kingdom of kashmir. So ruler of Kashmir called for Indian help and proposed to merge his state into Indian Union. Indian government accepted the request of ruler of Kashmir and send its army to Kashmir. War started between India and Pakistan but a large part of Kashmir was occupied by Pakistan.
Other Kingdoms. Except these kingdoms, there were certain other small kingdoms which were included in the nearby states. Baroda was included in the province of Bombay. Unified state was founded by joining few small states. For example one union was made in March, 1948 by joining Bharatpur, Dholpur, Alwar and Karavli. After this Rajasthan union was formed in which kingdoms of Boondi, Talwara, Pratapgarh, Shahpur, Banswara, Kota, Kishangarh, etc. were included in it.
Question 14.
Write down the development of India in economic and industrial fields after the independence.
Answer:
Many economic problems occurred in India due to division of the countries. Large part of wheat and rice producing areas of India went to Pakistan. Large part of irrigated land also went to Pakistan. So there was a shortfall of grains in India. In the same way large part of jute and cotton producing areas went over to India. There was a short fall of raw material for jute and textile industries. So Indian government started to find solution of these problems to improve economic condition of the country. That’s why Planning Commission was established in 1950 to achieve this objective. In this way the process of economic development started in the country which is still going on. This shadow can be seen in agricultural and industrial sectors as well.
Agriculture. India is a agriculture based country. Foodgrains are produced on 75% agricultural land of the country. Rice, wheat, peanut, sugarcane, maize, sunflower, etc. are important foodgrain crops. India made dams on all the important rivers for the development of country. These dams give water to agricultural land and stop floods to a great extent. These dams are helpful in producing electricity. These are known as river valleys. Nangal Dam, Damodar Valley Dam, Harikud Dam, Tungabhadra Dam and , Nagaijuna Sagar Dam are some of the important dams of the country.
Special steps were taken by the government to increase agricultural production. Farmers were told new methods of farming. Government gives good seeds and fertilizers to farmers. Poor farmers are given loans from Banks to improve agriculture. In this way government is trying to improve condition of agriculture.
Industry: Industrial development started in India even during British rule. Many Textile, Iron, Sugar, Matchstick, Cement industries were established in that age. But these industries were unable to develop fully because British hardly took care in development of Indian industry. But after independence, India started to spread industrial sector in the country. Engineering tools, Electrical goods, computers and related goods, medicine and industries of agricultural tools were established in the country. Many Multinational companies established their industries in the country. These industries have given employment to lakhs of skilled and semi-skilled labourers.
Indian government took special interest in Scientific and Industrial inventions. Many universities were set up to invent new tools, seeds, fertilizers, etc.
Question 15.
Explain the relationship of India and America.
Answer:
The United States of America is supreme among the great powers of the world. India’s relations with the USA never remained simple. These relations have been changed from time to time. After Indian independence, strained relations remained between both the countries over the issue of Kashmir and several other issues.
Following are the main reasons of strained relations between both the countries.
- the United States of America started to give more and more military help to Pakistan. India strongly opposed it but America hardly cared about it.
- Pakistan become the member of military alliances made by America but India refused to become member of these alliances.
- Bangladesh come into existence as a result of the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971 A.D. America tried to interfere in war in favour of Pakistan but India strongly opposed it.
- America established military bases in Pakistan. America has made military cantonments at Digo-Garcia island in Indian ocean. India also opposed it because c’ its security concerns.
- There are some basic differences among India and America on the issue of Nuclear Power. India is developing Nuclear power but America has strongly opposed it. Even America has stopped supply of nuclear fuel to India.
- India has not signed Nuclear Prolification Treaty (NPT) because it is not based on moral values. This treaty is partial. This treaty restricts those countries to make nuclear weapons who don’t have nuclear power. On the other side there is no such restrictions on Nuclear powers.
Actually Indian relations with America are strained due to these given reasons. But still they are not much strained. Both the countries are cooperating each other in economic, technological, scientific and cultural fields. In 1993 A.D. Bill Clinton become the President of USA and from then these relations are improving day by day. America helps India in economic sector as well. The USA and its economic institutions are playing a very important role in economic system of India in present age. We can expect better relations in near future as well.

Long Answer Type Question
Question 1.
Describe in detail about problems of illiteracy and the increasing population.
Answer:
1. Illiteracy. More than 23 crore people of India are illiterate. Around 60 women out of 100 are illiterate. Illiteracy gives rise to unemployment which becomes a reason for poverty. An illiterate person hardly knows about the progression opportunities available in the country. Except this democratic system will become successful if people would be literate.
An illiterate person is unaware of his rights and duties as well.
Governmental Efforts: Indian Government is taking certain steps to remove illiteracy from the country :
- There is a provision in our Constitution to give free and compulsory education to children upto the age of 14 years.
- Indian government gives scholarships to poor and intelligent students.
- The Indian government has also started adult education in the country. National Adult Education Programme was started on 2nd October 1978 A.D. National Literacy Mission was started in 1988 A.D. Many Adult education centres were established under this mission.
- Many educational programmes, related to illiterate adults, are being broadcast on All India Radio and Doordarshan. Their main objective is to literate every person in the country.
2. Increasing Population. India is facing a problem of the increasing population these days. The speed of the increasing population in India is too much that it is very difficult to stop this speed by the government. According to the census of 2011 A.D., India’s population was 121.02 crores. Our population is increasing by lakhs every year.
Causes: There are certain reasons for increasing population in the country:
- The death rate is decreasing due to the improvement of medical facilities. About 25 years ago this death rate was 33 per thousand. But now it has been reduced to 9 per thousand. In earlier times, many diseases were there like the plague, malaria, etc. because of which thousands of people used to die. But now these diseases have been controlled to a great extent.
- Marriage is less age is one of the reasons for the increasing population. Many rural families used to prefer child marriages which result in the growth of the population.
- People don’t like to use family planning due to ignorance and religious reasons.
- Many poor people think that more children will help in an increase in the income of the family. That’s why parents like to give birth to more children.
Losses and solution. The increasing population is the basic reason for many problems like poverty, unemployment, etc. All the developmental plans become useless with the increasing population. These problems could be solved at a government level. People could be told about the losses of increasing population and government can propagate in favour of small family.
