The Crisis of the Empire and the Later Mughals

Question 1.
What were the causes responsible for various crises of the Mughal Empire towards the closing year of the 17th century?
Answer:
Mughal Empire reached the height of its success and started facing a variety of crises towards the closing years of the seventeenth century.
These were caused by a number of factors:

• Emperor Aurangzeb had depleted the military and financial resources of his empire by fighting a long war in the Deccan.
• Under his successors, the efficiency of the imperial administration broke down.
• It was increasingly difficult for the later Mughal emperors to keep a check on their powerful mansabdars.
• Nobles appointed as governors (subadars) often controlled the offices of revenue and military administration (diwani and faujdari) as well.
• The governors consolidated their control over the provinces and revenue declined.

Peasant and zamindari rebellions in many parts of northern and western India added to their problems:

• These revolts were sometimes caused by the pressures of mounting taxes.
• At other times there were attempts by powerful chieftains to consolidate their own position.
• Mughal authority was challenged by rebellious groups in the past as well. But these groups were now able to seize the economic resources of the region to consolidate their positions.

The Mughal emperors after Aurangzeb were unable to arrest the gradual shifting of political and economic authority into the hands of provincial governors, local chieftains and other groups.

Question 2.

Question 3.
How was the empire further weakened?
Answer:

It was further weakened by competition amongst different groups of nobles.

• They were divided into two major groups or fractions; the Iranis and Turanis.
• For a long time, the later Mughal emperors were puppets in the hands of either one or the other of these too powerful groups.
• The worst possible humiliation came when two Mughal emperors, Farrukh Siyar (1713-1719) and Alamgir II (1754-1759) were assassinated.
• Two others Ahmad Shah (1748-1754) and Shah Alam II (1759-1816) were blinded by their nobles.

Other Kinds of Equality

Question 1.

He became a spectacle for everyone was watching him. He was covered with dust and was not even allowed to drink water. He was made to do this for few days until one day his father by chance saw him. His father confronted the teacher and told them that one day Omprakash would study right there and many more would follow him.

Question 5.
What kind of discrimination was faced by the Ansari family?
Answer:
It is an incident that took place in a large city in India. Ansari family wanted to rent an apartment. They approached a property dealer for help. The property dealer knew about quite a few places. Ansaris liked the first apartment shown to them.

After knowing their names landlady made an excuse that she could rent the apartment to a non-vegetarian since all the other residents are vegetarian. This surprised the Ansaris as well as the property dealer because they could smell fish being cooked in next house.

This happened with them at other places as well. They were given the suggestion that they should change their name to get an apartment. The Ansaris were not willing to do this. It took them a month to find an apartment on rent.

Recognising Dignity

Question 1.
What are the basis on which we are treated unequally?
Answer:

• Caste, religion, class background whether we are male or female—are often the things that determine why we are treated unequally.
• Omprakash Valmiki and the Ansaris are being treated unequally on the basis of differences of caste and religion.

Question 2.
When persons are treated unequally, their dignity is violated. How?
Answer:

• When persons are treated unequally their dignity is violated because they feel humiliated.
• The dignity of both Omprakash Valmiki and the Ansaris was violated because of the way in which they were treated.
• By picking on him and making him sweep the school, because of his caste, Omprakash Valmiki’s schoolmates and teachers badly hurt his dignity and made him feel as if he was less than equal to all other students in the school.
• Being a child Omprakash Valmiki could do very little about the situation that he was in. It was his father who felt angry by this unequal treatment. He confronted the teachers.
• The Ansaris’ dignity was also hurt when persons refused to lease their apartments to them.
• The suggestion of the property dealer to change their name also violated their dignity or self-respect. Hence, they refused this suggestion.
• Omprakash and the Ansaris do not deserve to be treated like this. They deserve the same respect and dignity as others.

Equality in Indian Democracy

Question 1.
What is the position of equality in India, a democratic country?
Answer:

• The Indian Constitution recognises every person as equal.
• This means that every person in the country, both male and female from all castes, religions, tribes, educational and economic backgrounds is equal.
• Inequality still exists. But at least, in democratic India, the principle of the equality of all. persons is recognised.
• Earlier no law existed to protect people from discrimination and, ill-treatment.
• Now there are several laws that work to see that people are treated with dignity and as equals. !

Question 2.
What are the provisions in the Constitution of India in respect of recognition of equality?
Answer:
The recognition of equality includes some of the following provisions in the constitution:

• Every person is equal before the law. This means that every person from the
  President of the country to a domestic worker has to obey the same laws.
• No person can be discriminated against on the basis of their religion, race, caste, place of birth, or gender.
• Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds, hotels, shops and markets. All persons can use wells, roads and bathing ghats.
• Untouchability has been abolished.

Question 3.
Describe the two ways in which government has tried to implement the equality.
Answer:

• The two ways in which the government has tried to implement the equality that is guaranteed in the constitution are:
  1. Through laws.
  2. Through government programmes or schemes to help disadvantaged communities.
• There are several laws in India that protect every person’s right to be treated equally.
• The government has also set up several schemes to improve the lives of immunities and individuals who have been treated unequally for several centuries.
• The schemes ensure greater opportunity for people who have not had this in the past.

Question 4.
What is the most important step the government has taken to end inequality?
Answer:
One of the steps taken by the government is the midday meal scheme.

• This refers to the programme introduced in all government elementary schools. It provides children with cooked lunch.
• Tamil Nadu was the first state in India to introduce this scheme.
• In 2001, the Supreme Court asked all state governments to begin this programme in their schools within six months.
• This programme has many positive effects which include the fact that more poor children have begun enrolling and regularly attending school.
• This programme has also helped reduce caste prejudices because both lower and upper caste children in the school eat this meal together.
• In a few places, Dalit women have been employed to cook the meal.
• The mid-day meal programme also helps reduce the hunger of poor students who often come to school and cannot concentrate because their stomachs are empty.

Question 5.
How has the mid day meal programme improved the attendance level in schools?
Answer:
The children would go back home for lunch and would nor report back. With mid day meal this has changed. Now even the mothers do not have to interrupt their work to feed children.

Question 6.
Describe the areas in which Dalit children are discriminated against.
Answer:

• The midday meal programme has helped increase the enrolment and attendance of poor children in school yet there continues to be big differences in this country between schools that the rich attend and those that the poor attend.
• Even today there are several schools in the country in which Dalit children like Omprakash Valmiki are discriminated against and treated unequally.
• These children are forced into unequal situations in which their dignity is not respected. This is because people do not think them as equal even though the law requires it.

Question 7.
What is one of the main reasons which is responsible for continuance of discrimination?
Answer:
One of the main reasons for continuance of discrimination is that attitudes change very slowly.

• Persons are aware that discrimination is against the law. Still they continue to treat people unequally on the basis of their caste, religion, disability, economic status and sex.
• It is only when people begin to believe that no one is inferior and that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, that attitudes change.

Media and Democracy

Question 1.
What is the role of media in democracy?
Answer:
Media plays an important role in providing news and discussing events in the country and the world. This helps citizens to learn about functioning of government. Citizens can take action based on the news. They can write letters to ministers or organise a public protest. Signature campaign may be stated to make government rethink on certain issue.

Question 2.
Is media reporting important in democracy?
Answer:
Media plays an important role in providing information. It is important that media reporting should be balanced.

Question 3.
What is a balanced report?
Answer:

• If we read either newspaper we would know only one side of the story.
• From the story in the News of India we term the protestors as a nuisance.
• On the other hand, the story in the India Daily, tells us that the protests are because a lot of livelihoods will be lost, relocation efforts are inadequate.
• Neither of these stories is a balanced report. A balanced report is one that discusses all points of view of a particular story and then leaves it to the readers to make up their minds.

On what depends the writing of a balanced report? *
Answer:

• Writing of a balanced report depends on the independent media.

• An independent media is important in a democracy.
• Independent media has reliable and unbiased information.

Question 5.
Describe the causes why media is not said to be independent?
Answer:
The media is far from independent due to certain reasons.
The government has a control over media:

• Due to Censorship a news item, scenes from movies or songs are not shared with public.
• During the Emergency 1975-1977 government censored the media.
• Government censor the films but it really does not censor media coverage of news.
• Despite the absence of censorship on news, most newspapers are unable to provide a balanced story.

This is due to the control of business houses over the media:

• News are given based on the interest of the business houses.
• Media needs money which it gets from advertisements.
• It becomes difficult for them to report against those who give advertisements.
• So media is not independent due to its business links.

Need for support for an issue:

• Media tends to focus on particular aspect to make story interesting:
• Also if they want public support, they focus on one side of the story.

Question 6.
Briefly write about the news report of News of India.
Answer:
News of India reported the event as crackdown on polluting factories.

• It reported the violent protests by owners and workers causing huge traffic jam.
• It said the people protested against the hasty decision of the government.
• It clarified the protestors knew that this would happen.
• It highlighted the fact this closure would reduce pollution in the city.
• Mr. Jain opinion was given where he stated that for clean and green city these factories should be removed.
• The factory owners and workers should accept the relocation offer of the government.

Question 7.
How did the India Daily report the decision?
Answer:
India Daily reported it as loss of livelihood due to closure of factories.

• Workers protested: against the closure of factories.
• According to the owners and workers the fault lies with the municipal corporation.
• It issued licences to factories in residential areas.
• According to this report there were no adequate relocation efforts.
• The new areas are without facilities and development.

• By focussing on particular issues the media influences our thoughts, feelings and actions.
• It brings those issues to our attention.
• Due to its significance it shapes our lives and our thoughts.
• It is commonly said that the media ‘sets the agenda’.

• They did this despite the government’s resistance.

Media help us to focus on an issue that affect our lives. It help us to understand and know things that we are not aware of.

Question 3.
Explain several instances when media fails to focus on issues which are important for us.
Answer:

• There are several instances when the media fails to focus on issues which are important for us.
• Drinking water is a major problem in the country.
• Every year, thousands of people suffer due to lack of safe drinking water.
• Media does not focus on this issue.
• The media focuses (on) such issues like the fashion week which provide(s) them huge money.
• But it did not report the demolition of slums in Mumbai at all as the slum dwellers did not pay them.
• As citizens of a democracy the media has a very important role to play in our lives because it is the media which highlights the burning issues.

Question 4.
Write a concise account of Local Media.
Answer:
Local Media

• Most of the big houses of media are not interested in covering ‘small’ issues that involve ordinary people and their daily lives.
• Hence several local groups have come forward to start their own media.
• Several people use community radio to tell farmers about the prices of different crops and advise them on the use of seeds and fertilizers.
• Others make documentary films with fairly cheap and easily available video cameras on the real-life conditions of the poor communities.
• A newspaper called Khabar Lahriya is a fortnightly and run by eight Dalit women in Chitrakoot district in Uttar Pradesh.
• Written in the local language ‘Bundeli’ this eight page newspaper reports on Dalit issues and cases of violence against women and political corruption.
• Such media is termed as local media. The media highlights the working of the government.
• In this way it ‘sets the agenda’.
• Sometimes the government imposes censorship and gets published what it wants.

Question 5.
What do you mean by “setting the agenda*?
Answer:
The media decides the issues and stories to focus on. This is called “setting the agenda”. The government through censorship prevents certain stories to be published. Media’s relationship with business houses affects balanced reporting.

It is therefore, important that we do not rely too much on one sided factual reporting. We should ask questions like what is the information I am getting and what is not provided.

Question 6.
What is censorship and factual information?
Answer:
Censorship refers to the power that the government has to disallow media from showing or publishing certain issues.
Factual information is the information about a particular news or issue as given by the report.

• Producers are not interested in selling us goods in small quantities like one kilo
  of vegetables or one plastic mug.
• The people in between the producer and the final consumer are traders.

The wholesale trader first buys goods in large quantities.
Examples:

• Vegetable wholesale trader does not buy a few kilos of vegetables. He buys them in bulk quantities. He sells them to retailers.
• A retailer purchases vegetables in bulk from the wholesale trader. He sells them in small quantities to the consumers at higher rates.

Question 2.
Who is a retailer?
Answer:
In the markets buying and selling takes place between the traders. Through these traders the goods reach faraway places. The trader who finally sells the goods to consumer is the retailer. This could a in weekly market, a hawker or in a shopping complex.

Question 3.
How is chain of markets set up?
Answer:
Chain of markets has visible and invisible links.

• Wholesalers buy the products in bulk directly from the producers.
• Every city has areas with wholesale market from where the goods are supplied to other traders.
• Retailers buy goods in smaller quantities from the wholesalers and take them to different parts of the city.
• The road side hawkers further purchase these goods either from a wholesaler or a retailer to sell it in particular localities.
• Wholesale trader bought large quantity of goods from factory or producers and store them in godowns.
• In this way a chain of markets is set up through which the goods finally travel to reach us.
• Certain services are also sold like this e.g., representatives of various companies go to the retailers or sometimes directly to the consumer to sell their products.

Chain of Markets serves the following purposes

• Factories and wholesalers need not find consumers of their goods.
• Several people get benefited.
• Consumers get goods of their needs in small quantities.
• They get goods from their nearby places, they do not need to walk long distances.
• Factories and wholesalers do not sell goods in small quantities. It saves time and energy of the factory owners and the wholesalers.

Question 4.
What do the terms wholesale and retail refer to?
Answer:
Wholesale refers to buying or selling goods in large quantity like fruits, vegetables, flowers, kitchen items etc.
Retail means buying the goods in smaller quantity from the wholesaler and sell it in the local markets to the consumers.

NOTES: STORY OF AFTAB – Wholesaler In The City

• Aftab a wholesaler starts his business around 2.am
• Vegetables reaches the mandi from nearby areas
• He participates in the auction for selecting which vegetables to buy
• He stores these vegetables in his shop and further sells it to hawkers or shopkeepers.
• These retailers come to the mandi around 6 am and reach their own areas by 10 in the morning.

Markets everywhere

Question 1.
Describe the various ways of selling and purchasing of goods.
Answer:

• There are different market places where people buy and sell a variety of goods and services.
• All these markets are in a specific locality.
• They work in a particular manner and time.
• These days it is not always necessary to go to market to purchase goods.
• Orders can be placed for a variety of things through the phone and through the Internet.
• Goods are delivered at the customer’s home.
• In clinics and nursing homes, sales representatives come to take order for supplying medicines.
• Sales representatives are also engaged in the selling of goods. Thus, buying and selling of goods takes place in different ways.

Question 2.
Give an account of those things which we do not directly use.
Answer:

• We can recognise markets easily.
• There are also such markets that we do not know.
• A large number of goods are bought and sold that we do not use directly.
  Examples
• A farmer uses fertilizers to grow crops.
• He purchases them from special shops in the city.
• These shops get them from factories.
• Likewise a car factory purchases engine, gears, petrol tanks, axles, wheels etc. from various other factories.
• We do not usually see all the buying and selling of these ancillaries but only the final product—the car in the showroom.
• The story is similar for any other good.

Markets And Equality

Question 1.
Discuss the relationship between markets and equality.
Answer:
There are two types of sellers in the market, one in the weekly market and other in the shopping complex.
Small trader has little money whereas the other has more money to set up their shops. They earn unequal amounts. The weekly market traders earns little as compared of a regular shop owner in a shopping complex.
Even buyers are also differently placed. There are some who can not afford cheapest of goods and some shop in malls.
Therefore these markets depend on money as buyers or sellers.

Question 2.
How does chain of markets works?
Answer:
Goods go through a chain of markets before reaching the consumer. Goods produced at one place reaches different areas through chain of markets. Selling of new products encourages productions and new earning opportunities.

• This ‘power over the ballot box’ has been used by people to elect or replace their representatives.

Question 2.
Why does the feeling of equality that the ballot box provides not extend to the most people’s lives?
Answer:
The feeling of equality that the ballot box provides does not extend to most people’s lives. The following reasons are responsible for this:

• The increasing privatisation of health services and the neglect of government hospitals have made it difficult for most poor people like Kanta, Hakim Sheikh and Aman to get good quality healthcare.
• A small juice seller does not have the resources to compete with all of the major companies who sell branded drinks through expensive advertising.
• Farmers like Swapna do not have sufficient resources to grow cotton and so have to take a loan from the traders to grow their crops. This forces them to sell their cotton at a lower price.
• Melani like the millions of domestic workers across the country, is forced to endure the insults and hardships of working as a domestic help because she has no resources to set up something on her own.

Question 3.
State the main reasons why people do not have equality.
Answer:

• Poverty.
• Lack of resources.
• Discrimination on the basis of religion, caste and sex.
• Lack of dignity and respect for certain communities.

Question 4.
Are people discriminated on the basis of religion, caste or gender?
Answer:
Sometimes religion, caste or gender leads to inequality. The Ansaris had the resources to pay the rent but were not able to find apartment on rent. People were reluctant due to their religion.

• Om Prakash Valmiki had to sweep the the school yard because he was Dalit
• Women’s work is considered less valuable than men’s work.
• All these discriminations were social, cultural or gender based Most of the times poverty, lack of dignity or respect for certain communities comes together. It becomes difficult to identify where one ends and other begins.
• Dalit, Adivasi or Muslim girls drop out of schools. This is the combined effect of lack of resources, poverty or social discrimination.

Struggles for Equality

Question 1.
How do some people fight for removal of inequality in the society?

• The Tawa dam began to be built in 1958 and was completed in 1978.
• It submerged large areas of forest and agricultural land.
• The forest dwellers were left with nothing.
• Some of the displaced people settled around the reservoir.
• They apart from their meagre farms found a livelihood in fishing.
• They earned very little.
• In 1994 the government gave the rights for fishing in the Tawa reservoir to private contractors.
• These contractors drove the local people away and got cheap labour from outside.
• They began to threaten the villagers, who did not want to leave, by bringing in hoodlums.
• The villagers stood united and decided to set up an organisation and do something to protect their rights. Thus, the Tawa Matsya Sangh was formed.

Question 4.
How did Tawa Matsya Sangh achieve its goal of fishing right?
Answer:
Achievement of Goal of Fishing Right:
The newly formed Tawa Matsya Sangh (TMS) organised a Chakka jam (road blockade), demanding their right to continue fishing for their livelihood.

• In response to their protests, the government created a committee.
• The committee recommended that fishing rights be granted to the villagers for their livelihood.
• A five-year lease agreement was signed.
• With the TMS taking over, the fishworkers were able to increase their earnings substantially because they set up the cooperative which buys the catch from them at a fair price.
• The cooperative arranges to transport and sell this in markets where they get a good price.
• They have now begun to earn more.
• The TMS has also begun giving the fishworkers loans for repair and for buying new nets.
• By Managing to earn a higher wage as well as preserving the fish in the reservoir, the TMS has shown that when people’s organisations get their rights to livelihood, they can be good managers.
