Answer any six of the following questions in 15-20 sentences each: (6 \u00d7 5 = 30)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Question 23.<br \/>\nExplain the special features of Indian History.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nIndia is the 7<sup>th<\/sup> largest country in area and the second-most populous country in the world. The special features of Indian history are:<\/p>\n<p>a. Continuity of civilization and culture:<br \/>\nIndia has one of the earliest histories in the world. The physical features of our country, full of variety, richness and contrasts tend to divide India into different local zones. However, it has 4000 years of continuous history and continuity of civilization and culture, like China.<\/p>\n<p>b. Evolution in phases:<br \/>\nIts has developed in various stages with necessary improvements. We find a connecting link of events from the Indus to the Vedic period, Vedic to Islamic and Christian influences.<\/p>\n<p>c. Foreign invasions:<br \/>\nThe natural barriers on the frontiers of India provided security from foreign invasions. However, foreigners like Greeks, Persians, Huns, Shakas, Arabs, Turks, Kushans, Afghans, and others entered India from the Khyber and Bolan passes. All these invaders contributed to the Indian culture.<\/p>\n<p>The historical monuments and other structures like forts built by these invaders are attracting tourists even today. South India had immunity from such invasions and developed a distinct culture of its own.<\/p>\n<p>d. Religious tolerance (dominant and tolerant Hindu faith):<br \/>\nIndia is home for Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, Parsis, Christians, and several tribal faiths and practices. Indians believe in the concept of \u2018Vasudhaivaka kutumbakam\u2019 and \u2018Sarve janaha sukhino bhavantu\u2019, which means that the whole world is one family and let all the people be happy.<\/p>\n<p>e. Indian contributions to the world:<br \/>\nIndia has contributed immensely in the fields of literature, philosophy, science, art, culture, architecture, mathematics, medicine, astronomy, etc. UNO has recognized more than 30 Indian historical sites as centers of world heritage, such as the hill forts of Rajasthan, Khujaraho, Konark, Taj Mahal, Bodh Gaya, Sanchi, Ajanta, Ellora, Hampi, Aihole, Pattadakallu, Madurai, Kanchi, Churches of Goa, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga, Ayurveda, and other artistic specimens are the special contributions of Indians to the world. The great contributions of Indian mathematicians have enriched the world with the concept of zero and the decimal system.<\/p>\n<p>The ancient universities of Nalanda, Takshashila, Ujjain, Prayag, Vikramshila, Kashi and Kanchi attracted students from different countries of the world. India was at the height of its intellectual and spiritual glory.<\/p>\n<p>f. Unity in diversity:<br \/>\nIndia possesses diverse physical and geographical features and also shows diversity racially, linguistically, socially, economically, religiously and almost in every sphere of human activities. In spite of all these diversities, there are many unifying forces that have kept India united.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions-300x28.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 24.<br \/>\nWrite the social condition of Aryans.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1. Social conditions:<br \/>\nThe early vedic people developed a highly organised society, that was based on the principle of monogamy. Polygamy was practiced-only among the royal families. The eldest male member was the head of the family and was called \u2018Kulapathi\u2019 or \u2018Grihapathi\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>There was no system of child marriage but widow remarriage prevailed. Marriage was considered a sacred bond and after marriage the bride lived in the house of the bridegroom. Usually a joint family system prevailed among the Aryans.<\/p>\n<p>2. Social divisions:<br \/>\nThe social divisions, chati vamas were based on professions. They were Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Sudra. People could change professions and hence change their vamas. Thus, there was mobility among the vamas.<\/p>\n<p>3. Position of the women :<br \/>\nThe status of women in the family and in the society was high and they had equal rights with men. Women were educated and highly civilized for e.g.: Gargi, Maithreyi, Apala, Ghosha, Vishwavara, and others. Girls had considerable freedom in selecting their life partners. Women freely moved out of their houses and attended public functions. A high standard of morality was maintained.<\/p>\n<p>4. Food and entertainment:<br \/>\nPeople consumed wheat, barley, rice, fruit, vegetables, fish and meat and intoxicating drinks like soma and sura. Aryans wore clothes made of cotton and wool. Ornaments were used by both men and women, made of gold, silver, and flowers. Gambling, chariot and horse racing, hunting and dance were the popular entertainments. Education on the whole was oral. It aimed at the development of character and was religions in nature.<\/p>\n<p>During the later vedic period, polygamy and polyandry came into practice. Patriarchal system still continued, and the joint family system was quite common. Women were still allowed to get higher education and participate in the religious rites. But the women were now under the protection of father or husband or a son. On the whole, position of the women had considerably come down.<\/p>\n<p>Varnas turned into many castes. Caste system became hereditary and very rigid. Brahmanas and Kshatriyas enjoyed a higher status compared to Vaishyas and Shudras. Life of an individual was divided into four stages called ashramas.<\/p>\n<p>They were Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, and Sanyasa. Education was imparted by learned teachers to the students. The aim of education was to develop knowledge, character, truthfulness and devotion. Gurus enjoyed great respect.<\/p>\n<p>Living standard of the people was usually the same as it was in the early vedic civilization. People still lived in villages and small towns. Agriculture was the main profession of the people.<\/p>\n<p>Question 25.<br \/>\nExplain the main features of Hoysala Architecture.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1. Hoysaia art and architecture:<br \/>\nHoysalas occupy a unique place in the Indian architectural history. Hoysalas adapted the Vesara and Dravidian styles and developed a new style of architecture. So, it is nothing but the culmination of the Chalukyan architecture and is called \u2018The Hoysaia style\u2019 of architecture. The great sculptors who built most of the Hoysaia temples were Dasoja, Chavana, Kedaraja, Nagoja, Jakkanna, Mallitamma, Byroja and others.<\/p>\n<p>The main characteristics (Salient features) of the Hoysala temples :<\/p>\n<p>1. Hoysala temples are star-shaped. The temples have a tower (sikhara) above the sanctum (Garbhagriha). This tower is in the form of a pyramid.<\/p>\n<p>2. Hoysala temples are constructed on a, raised platform (jagati) of 4 to 5 feet. The walls of the basement are covered with stone carvings.<\/p>\n<p>3. Just above the platform, space is left all around the temple, to do pradakshana of the temple, which is called Pradhakshinapatha.<\/p>\n<p>4. The temples have carved stone windows with apertures and the walls are covered with ornamental sculptures.<\/p>\n<p>5. The outer walls of the temples have stone carvings, The bottom portion consists of a row of elephants, horses, flower designs, swans, stories from the epics and puranas.<\/p>\n<p>6. The doorways of the temples have beautiful carvings in stone and a pair of dwarapalakas stand on either side.<\/p>\n<p>7. The centre of the ceiling of the hall has intricate carvings of Bhuvaneshwari. Above the pillars, on the brackets stand the statues of dancing girls in different poses.<\/p>\n<p>8. Hoysala temples have been classified as per the number of cells (kutas) e.g., One cell (ekakuta) temples to five cells (panchakuta) temples. The sanctums (Garbhagriha) are small and simple square chambers.<\/p>\n<p>2. Hoysala temple constructions:<br \/>\nHoysalas built more than 100 temples between the 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 13<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. Vishnuvardhana period was the \u2018Golden age\u2019 of temple building in the Hoysala Kingdom. Vishnuvardhana built, Kirthinarayana temple at Talakadu, Cheluvanarayana temple at Melkote, Channakeshava temple and Kappechenniga temples at Belur, Mallikarjuna and Rangantha temples at Huliyur, Veeranarayana temples at Gadag and Bankapura.<\/p>\n<p>Channakeshava temple (Ekakuta) at Belur is the epitome of the Hoysala style. Ballala-Ill (1173-1220 CE) built AmrutheshWara and Ballaleshwara temples at Arasikere and Kedareshwara temple at Halebeedu. Narasimha-I and his deputy Ketamalla built the Hoysaleshwara (Dwikuta) temple (1121 CE) at Halebeedu.<\/p>\n<p>Narasimha II built the Harihareshwar temple at Harihara, Lakshminarasimha temple at Bhadravati, and Someshwara and Keshava temples at Haradanahalli. Narasimha-III built Keshava temple (Thrikuta) at Somanathapura in 1268 CE., Lakshmi temple (chathuskuta) at Doddagaddavalli and Panchalingeshwara temple (Panchakuta) at Govindanahalli.<\/p>\n<p>The Channkeshava temple (1117CE) built by Vishnuvardhana at Belur, The Hoysaleshwar temple (1121 CE) built by Ketamalla at Halebeedu and the Keshava temple (1268 CE) built by Narasimha &#8211; III at Somanathapura are the best examples of the best variety. According to Fergusson the famous historian, Hoysaleshwara temple can be termed as the \u2018Jewel of Indian Architecture\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions-300x28.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 26.<br \/>\nWhat were the causes and results of the battle of Talikote?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe decisive battle of Talikote was fought in 1565 C.E. between the Vijayanagara (Aliya Ramaraya) Rulers and the combined forces of Shahi Kingdoms on the Banks of river Krishna.<\/p>\n<p>Causes for the Battle:<\/p>\n<p>1. Supremacy over the Doab region:<br \/>\nThe fertile doab area between the rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra became a bone of contention between the two powers and hence responsible for that battle.<\/p>\n<p>2. Religious difference :<br \/>\nThe religious &#8211; and cultural differences between the Hindu Vijayanagara and the Muslim. Shahi Kingdoms was one of the causes for the battle.<\/p>\n<p>3. Foreign policy of Aliya Ramaraya:<br \/>\nAliya Ramraya interfered in the internal disputes of the Shahis. He followed the policy of divide and rule with the Shahis of Bijapura and Ahmadnagar. The Shahis forgot their enmity and united through various alliances.<\/p>\n<p>The Sultans of the Deccan (Bijapura, Ahmadhagar, Golkonda, Bidar) realized that Ramaraya\u2019s power had increased immensely due to the lack of unity among themselves. They decided to sink their differences and unite in the name of the religion against the Hindu Kingdom of Vijayanagara.<\/p>\n<p>4. Immediate Cause :<br \/>\nAli Adil Shah of Bijapura demanded the return of Raichur. But Ramaraya refused and asked the Sultan to fight and win it in the battlefield. This was the immediate cause for the battle.<\/p>\n<p>5. Course of the battle :<br \/>\nBahamani Sultans set aside their differences and organized a confederacy against Vijayanagara. The combined forces of Bidar. Bijapura, Ahamadnagar and Golkonda marched and crossed the river Krishna and camped at a place between the villages Rakkasagi and Tangadagi.<\/p>\n<p>Aliya Ramaraya decided to meet this challenge with all his might. Ramaraya personally led the army with his two brothers. The battle took place on 23<sup>rd<\/sup> January 1565 C.E. In the beginning Vijayanagara forces gained upper hand. But during the course of the battle, Ramaraya was captured by the Shahi soldiers and beheaded and his head was paraded in the battle field. This created panic among the Vijayanagara soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>They ran away from the battle field. The Shahis won the battle. Venkatadri and Tirumala hurriedly went back to Vijayanagara, took as much wealth as they can carry and fled to Penugonda. This debacle led to the disintegration of the Vijayanagara Empire.<\/p>\n<p>Results of the battle:<\/p>\n<p>1. Vijayanagara Empire lost its glory. The successful Shahi army looted the city of Vijayanagara.<\/p>\n<p>2. Aravidu dynasty continued under the name of Vijayanagara with its new capital at Penugonda in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>3. The Golkonda and Bijapur Sultans captured the northen territories. The feudatories of Vijayanagara like Nayakas and Palegars proclaimed themselves independent. This led to the disintegration of the Vijayanagara Empire.<\/p>\n<p>4. The destruction of the capital city and decline of the Vijayanagara Empire adversely affected the Portuguese trade in India.<\/p>\n<p>Question 27.<br \/>\nDiscuss the socio-religious reforms of BasaVeshwara.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1. Socio-religious reforms of Basavesh wara :<br \/>\nBasaveshwara was a revolutionary reformer. He wanted to build a classless and casteless society. The first step to him was integration of the people on equal status, regardless of caste. He advocated equality of all human beings. He strongly opposed blind beliefs, superstitions, image worship, ritualism, pilgrimage and taking holy baths in the river.<\/p>\n<p>He tried to wipe out the evil practice of untouchability and encouraged intercaste marriages. He made it clear that caste system does not have the base of Dharmashastra. He encouraged interdining and gave lingadeeksha to the untouchable Nagadeva and accepted his hospitality. Encouraging inter-caste marriage, he performed the marriage of Brahmin Madhuvaiah\u2019s daughter with Harijan Haralaiah\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<p>Orthodox people were disturbed by these revolutionary acts of Basaveshwara and gave a complaint to King Bijjala that he was spending the money from the treasury to benefit his followers and that he was spoiling Hinduism. Bijjala gave death sentence to Madhuvaiah and Haralaiah.<\/p>\n<p>When the news of the death of Madhuvaiah and Haralaiah spread, Basaveshwara was upset and gave up his post as minister and went to Kudalasangama. This led to a revolt by his followers and in this revolt Bijjala was murdered.<\/p>\n<p>Disapproving animal sacrifice, Basavesh wara said \u201cKindness is the source of religion\u201d (Dayave dharmada moolavaiah). He gave the concept of \u2018work is worship\u2019. This was the main message of Basaveshwara to mankind. He tried to propagate purity, morality and humanistic approach through his vachanas.<\/p>\n<p>He rejected the idea of building temples. He questioned the need and purpose to build temples when our own body is a temple, where God resides. He felt that his body was the temple, his legs were its pillars and his head was its golden tower.<\/p>\n<p>Question 28.<br \/>\nDiscuss the struggle of Tippu Sultan with the British.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nAnglo-Mysore wars (1767-1799) :<\/p>\n<p>1. The first Anglo-Mysore war (1767-1769):<br \/>\nThe British after establishing supremacy in Bengal, waged war against Mysore to expand their Empire. Tippu had participated in his father\u2019s campaigns and had gained sufficient military experience. In 1766, he fought against the Paliagars of Balam. In 1767-1769, in the first Anglo-Mysore war, he took his army towards Madras. Later, he helped his father capture the forts of Tirupattur and Vaniyambadi.<\/p>\n<p>2. The second Anglo-Mysore war (1780-1784):<br \/>\nHyder Ali died in 1782. His son Tippu Sultan continued the war. Tippu defeated the British at Wandiwash in 1783, and marched against Mangalore and besieged the fort. Negotiations for peace started between Tippu and British through signing the treaty of Mangalore in 1784. and the second Anglo-Mysore war ended with that.<\/p>\n<p>3. Third Anglo-Mysore war (1790-1792) :<br \/>\nThe third Anglo-Mysore war was again fought between Tippu Sultan and the British. Tippu\u2019s rise caused fear and jealousy among the Britishers. Tippu was trying to get the help of the French to expel the British from India. War broke out with Tippu\u2019s unprovoked attack on Travancore in 1789, whose ruler was an ally of the British. British Governor-General, Lord Cornwallis was waiting for a pretext to wage a war against Tippu.<\/p>\n<p>He formed a coalition consisting of the British, the Nizam and the Maratbas against Tippu, and attacked Sirangapattana. Tippu could not fight this combined army arid he began to lose ground. They besieged his capital Srirangapattana in 1792. Forced by circumstances, Tippu signed the most humiliating treaty of Srirangapattana in March 1792.<\/p>\n<p>4. Treaty of Srirangapattana in 1792 :<br \/>\nThe terms of the treaty were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tippu had to surrender half of his Kingdom to the British and their allies.<\/li>\n<li>Tippu agreed to pay a war indemnity of 3.5 crores (30 lakh pounds) to the British. As he did not have enough money, he had to send two of his sons to the British as hostages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>5. Fourth Anglo-Mysore war (1798-1799):<br \/>\nTippu could not reconcile to the defeat and humiliation in the third Anglo-Mysore war and was determined to drive out the British from India. He again started negotiations with France, Turkey, Kabul, Afghanistan, etc. by sending his delegations but he could not get any help. Lord Wellesley forced him to sign the subsidiary Alliance, which he refused, As a result war became inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Wellesley sent a powerful army along with the Marathas and Nizam. Tippu was defeated in the battle of<br \/>\nSiddeshwara and Malavalli. On fourth May 1799, the British besieged the fort of Srirangapattana. The fort was bombarded and the enemy entered the fort. Tippu died fighting in the battle and the British captured Srirangapattana.<\/p>\n<p>After the death of Tippu, his territories Were divided among the British, the Marathas and the Nizam. A portion of his Kingdom was given to the Wodeyars of Mysore. Krishnaraja Wodeyar &#8211; III became the King of Mysore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions-300x28.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 29.<br \/>\nExplain the personality of Swami Vivekananda.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1.

Swami Vivekananda succeeded in making Hindus conscious of their strengths and weaknesses. He remarked \u201cI do not believe in a religion that cannot wipe out the widow\u2019s tear or bring a piece of bread to the orphan\u2019s mouth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>4. Social and religious reforms:<br \/>\nViveka Nanda condemned the caste system, rituals, ceremonies, and superstitions. He stressed the need for social reforms. He preached tolerance, equality, and co-operation among the people of all faiths. He gave importance to education, emancipation of women and eradication of poverty.<\/p>\n<p>5. National Awakening:<br \/>\nVivekananda was a great nationalist. He roused the national consciousness of Indians by his famous call \u201cAwake, Arise, stop not till the goal is reached\u201d. He wanted India to be a great nation. He has been popularly called as the Patriotic Saint of India, Vedantha Kesari and Cyclonic Monk of India. He edited and published two newspapers, Prabhuddha Bharata (English) and Udbhodhan (Bengali).<\/p>\n<p>Question 30.<br \/>\nWhat were the important factors that led to the growth of Indian Nationalism?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe important factors for the growth of Indian Nationalism were as listed below.<\/p>\n<p>1. Political Unity and Uniform Administration:<br \/>\nThe British conquered the whole of India and brought it under a single administration. This made the people of India unite psychologically. Now they faced many common problems and a common enemy. The concept that \u201cWe are all Indians\u201d was created in the minds of the Indian people. The British imperialism gave India political unity.<\/p>\n<p>2. Impact of English Education:<br \/>\nA wave of liberalism and individual freedom was passing through English politics and literature in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. The enlightened Indians began to compare their existing conditions to that of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>By the study of English literature and history, educated Indians were filled with the spirit of democracy and national patriotism. English language was the language of comunication for the national leaders.<\/p>\n<p>3. Discrimination against Indians:<br \/>\nThe British considered themselves to be racially superior to Indians. They had the feeling that Indians were incapable and unworthy of trust. Therefore, they denied higher posts to Indians. The British officers often berated Indians as Kutthe (dogs) Niggers (blacks) and Suvars (pigs).<\/p>\n<p>The Queen\u2019s proclamation in 1858 promised to Indians, that they would be appointed to higher posts on the basis of their merit, irrespective of their caste, religion or race, but this policy was never implemented: Indian culture and heritage were looked down upon by the British. This unjust policy created great discontent among the educated class.<\/p>\n<p>4. Role of Indian press and literature:<br \/>\nThe Indian press contributed a lot to the national awakening. Newspapers openly criticised the political policy of the British Government. Newspapers like the Bombay Samachar, Indian Mirror, The Kesari, Hindu, Patriot, etc., greatly influenced the nationalist feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Many articles and poems inspiring nationalism were being published both in English and the vernacular languages. Scholars like R. G. Bhandarkar, R. L. Mitra, Tilak, Swami Vivekananda, Max Muller, Monier Williams, and others conducted researches and brought to light the glorious cultural past of India.<\/p>\n<p>The cultural heritage of India filled the nationalists with pride and self-confidence. For e.g. writings of Ravindra Nath Tagore and the inspiring song \u2018Vandemataram\u2019 by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee stirred the hearts of Indians.<\/p>\n<p>5. The Economic Policy of the British:<br \/>\nThe British considered India to be only a colony which provided cheap raw materials and market for their finished goods. Their economic policy destroyed the economic structure that existed in India and the nation became poorer. The Indian cottage industries suffered severely. The economic deterioration of India was attributed to the British rule.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions-300x28.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6. Network of Communication:<br \/>\nThe British followed reactionary policies like divide and rule, subsidiary Alliance, Doctrine of Lapse, annexing States quoting misrule, etc., to establish political supremacy over India. Indian Rulers and common people were discontent with the British policies.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of the telegraph network, postal and railways looked like efforts to chain the country. The nationalist movement spread very quickly throughout India. It made inter-provincial relations and exchange of thoughts possible. The national leaders visited every nook and corner of the country and made propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Indian Nationalism is the offspring and outcome of the British rule. All the above factors directly or indirectly led to national awakening among Indians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PART &#8211; D<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">IV.

Religious policy of Akbar:<br \/>\nAkbar was liberal-minded and tolerant of other religions. His aim was to wipe out the differences that kept people apart and to bring about unity among them. He openly pronounced his faith in the principle of universal toleration and tried to eliminate the deep-rooted antagonism of Muslims towards Hindus.<\/p>\n<p>He abolished the pilgrimage Tax and Reziya. He permitted Hindus to worship their Gods and he did not compel them to convert to Islam. He appointed Hindus to high administrative posts on the basis of merit. He also participated in Hindu festivals like Rakhi, Holi, Diwali, and Shivaratri.<\/p>\n<p>Akbar founded a new religion Din-i-Ilahi in 1581. It was based on the principles of peace for all and was an attempt to unite people of different faiths into one brotherhood. He built the \u2018Ibadat Khana\u2019 at Fathepur Sikri. He invited the various religious leaders for a meeting to understand the essence of their religions.<\/p>\n<p>Akbar issued the infallibility Decree, according to which Akbar became the supreme arbiter of Justice in civil and religious matters.

The salaries of Mansabdars were high, they were generally not paid in cash but were alloted Jagirs yielding their respective salaries.<\/p>\n<p>There was always the possibility of some powerful Mansabdars revolting against the Emperor with the help of their soldiers, because loyalty of the soldiers . was always to the Mansabdar and not to the Emperor.<\/p>\n<p>e. Todarmal\u2019s Bandobust (Revenue System):<br \/>\nLand revenue was the main source of income to the state. In 1581 C.E., Akbar\u2019s revenue minister Raja Todarmal reorganised the whole land revenue system with what was known as \u2018Zabti System or Ain-deeh-Sala\u2019. The land was surveyed with Jaribs. Land was classified into different categories according to the fertility of the soil, as Polaj, Parauti, Chachar, and Banjar.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue could be paid in cash or kind. Raja Todarmal provided loans (Taccavi) to the cultivators. Taccavi loans were granted for the development of agriculture, which could be repaid in easy annual installments. This land revenue system was called as \u2018Todarmal\u2019s Bandobust\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The state maintained the documents, Patta and Qabiliyat, which recorded information regaring the land,&#8217; ownership and land revenue.

Birbal was the favourite of Akbar and was conferred with the title \u2018Kavi Raja\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Akbar patronized the \u2018Nine Jewels\u2019 in his court. They were &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Abdul Rahim<\/li>\n<li>Abul Fazal,<\/li>\n<li>Birbal,<\/li>\n<li>Faizi<\/li>\n<li>Hamid Human<\/li>\n<li>Raja Mansingh<\/li>\n<li>Shaikh Mubarak<\/li>\n<li>Tansen<\/li>\n<li>Raja Todarmal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Akbar extended liberal patronage to the growth of architecture in India. The first work of Akbar was the \u2018Humayun Tomb\u2019 at Delhi, which is in the persian style. Most of the buildings of Akbar\u2019s time were but It with red sandstone. The Jodha Bai Palace, Panchamahal are the impressive structures by Akbar at Fathepur Sikri.<\/p>\n<p>The massive 176 ft Gateway or the \u2018BulandDarwaza\u2019 is the highest Gateway of India. Red Fort of Agra, Jamma-Masjid, white marble Tomb of Sheikh Salim Chisti, Diwan-i- Am, Diwan &#8211; i &#8211; Klias, house of Birbal, Sonhal Makan are some other beautiful architectural edicts by Akbar.<\/p>\n<p>OR<\/p>\n<p>ii. Given an explanation about impact of British rule on Indian Economy.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\na. Economic Impact:<br \/>\nLand revenue was the main source of income to the Government. The British had incurred huge expenditure on administration, maintenance of army and waging many wars. To make up the burden of expenditure, they introduced some new systems of revenue collection in different provinces in India. They were :<\/p>\n<p>1. Zamindari system (or) Permanent land revenue settlement:<br \/>\nLord Cornwallis introduced the Zamindari system in 1793 in Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, and U.P. According to this system, the East India Company entered into an agreement with the Zamindars.<\/p>\n<p>The Zamindars were given permanent ownership of Land, which they cultivated with the help of tenants. Out of the total revenue collected, the Zamindars had to pay regularly the land revenue at 89%.<\/p>\n<p>Merits and demerits of the Zamindari system:<\/p>\n<p>a. The company was assured of a regular and fixed income.<\/p>\n<p>b. In due course the Zamindars became a strong political force and the Company secured the loyalty of the Zamindars to support its colonalism.<\/p>\n<p>c. Zamindars exploited the peasants by collecting high rates of revenue.<\/p>\n<p>d.\u00a0 Zamindars led a life of comfort in cities. There came into being agents in between the landlords and the tenants.<\/p>\n<p>2. Ryotwari or Munro system:<br \/>\nThis system was introduced by Governor Sir Thomas Munro in the Bombay and Madras presidencies in the 1820 C.E. Ryotwari system established direct settlement between the Company and the cultivator. The peasant (Ryot) was recognized as the owner of land on the condition, that he paid the land revenue regularly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions-300x28.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The land revenue fixed was about 50% the value of the yield. It was fixed on the basis of the quality of the soil and the nature of the crops grown. The land revenue was fixed not on a permanent basis but was revised periodically every 20 to 30 years. Under this system,<\/p>\n<p>a. The farmers were exploited by the Company because the land revenue assessment was very high.<\/p>\n<p>b. The cultivator had to pay revenue even when his produce was destroyed by drought or floods.<\/p>\n<p>c. The farmers had to take loans from moneylenders to pay the land revenue. It they failed to pay the land tax, farmers forfeited ownership of their land.<\/p>\n<p>3. Mahalwari system:<br \/>\nThis system was introduced by Lord William Bentinck in North &#8211; western India and the central parts of India in 1828 C.E. The Company entered .into settlements with the Estate or Mahal (village). The farmers within the village were collectively considered to be the owners of the land and were also collectively responsible for the payment of land revenue. Mahalwari was a mixture of both Zamindari and Ryotwari systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PART &#8211; E<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V. Answer any two of the following questions in 30-40 sentences each: (2 \u00d7 10 = 20)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Question 32.<br \/>\nSketch the life and teachings of Buddha.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1. Life of Gauthama Buddha:<br \/>\nGautama Buddha was the founder of Buddhism. He was born at Lumbinivana in 583 BCE. He was the son of a Shakya chief Shuddhodhana and Mayadevi. Gauthama lost his mother and was brought up by his stepmother, Mahaprajapati Gautami. The early name of Gauthama was Siddhartha.<\/p>\n<p>He was brought up in great luxury and married Yashodhara at the age of 16. A son was born to them, who was named Rahula. According to a Jataka story, one day when Siddhartha went out with his charioteer Channa, he saw for the first time in his life four ominous sights. Seeing an old man, a diseased (sick) person, a dead body and an ascetic (sage), resulted in bringing in him a realization of the miseries of the world.<\/p>\n<p>He renounced the world to find a remedy to end these human woes. This event is known as \u201cThe Great Renunciation\u201d. To find a solution to the problems of old age, sickness, and death, he left his home, went out to Uravela forest near Gaya and spent six years wandering in that pursuit. During that period he self-inflicted maximum pain to his body and soul and finally came to the conclusion that hunger and starvation was not the way to find the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter he spent some period, meditating under a pipal tree at Bodhgaya. He got enlightenment at last, about the truths regarding life and death. Having received the light, Gauthama became Buddha or the Enlightened one. He was also called \u201cThathagatha\u201d which means one who has realised the truth.<\/p>\n<p>2. Gautama as a preacher:<br \/>\nAfter attaining Knowledge (Enlightenment), he decided to spread his ideas among the suffering humanity. In the Deer Park near Saranath (near Benaras), he delivered his first sermon and converted five disciples into Buddhism. This is known as the Dharma Chakra Pravarthan or turning of the wheel of law (Dharma).<\/p>\n<p>Dharma chakra is the symbol of Buddhism. Buddha went on preaching, travelling from place to place. His personality and simplicity attracted people towards Buddhism. Buddha attained parinirvana at Kushinagara(U.P.)at the age of eighty. Edwin Arnold refers to him as \u201cThe light of Asia\u201d. His birthday (full moon day) is famous and celebrated as \u2018Buddha Poornima\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>3. Teachings of Buddha:<br \/>\nBuddha wanted to prescribe a new code of conduct, which would lead to the spiritual development of the soul. He condemned the authority of the Vedas, superiority of Brahmins, meaningless performance of sacrifices and the caste system. He laid down the Principles of equality among all human beings. Buddha never wished to discuss about the Creator of the Universe or God.<\/p>\n<p>Buddha taught his preachings through conversation, lectures, and parables. His method of teaching was unique. He preached that the world was full of sorrow and ignorance. Ignorance produces desire, desire leads to action (karma), action leads to impulses, to be born again and again in order to satisfy the desires. Thus, he believed in transmigration and that the chain of rebirth can be stopped if the person realises that worldly things are not permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Buddha laid down the analysis of life with four different priniciples. His favourite sutra was &#8216;Four Noble Truths or Atyasatyas\u2019, which emphasised the fact that life was full of pain (misery ) which could be removed only by the removal of all desires.<\/p>\n<p>His four noble truths are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Life is full of sorrow and pain. (Existence of sorrow)<\/li>\n<li>Desire is the root cause for sorrow. (Cause of sorrow) ,<\/li>\n<li>To destroy misery, desire must be destroyed first. (The removal of sorrow)<\/li>\n<li>Desire can be overcome by following the \u2018Asthangamarga or the Middle Path\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kseebsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/KSEEB-Solutions-300x28.png\" alt=\"KSEEB Solutions\" width=\"172\" height=\"16\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When desire ceases, rebirth ceases and the soul can find peace arid enjoy eternal bliss. Buddha prescribed the Middle path or Asthangamarga, in order to achieve self-control and salvation. The eightfold path or the middle path consists of<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Right faith<\/li>\n<li>Right thought<\/li>\n<li>Right speech<\/li>\n<li>Right conduct<\/li>\n<li>Right effort<\/li>\n<li>Right meditation<\/li>\n<li>Right livelihood and<\/li>\n<li>Right mindfulness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Ibis path is known as the middle path or eightfold path. Buddha ruled out completely self-indulgence and self-mortification. Buddhist teachings constitute the three pitakas. Buddha prescribed several codes of conduct for his followers such as &#8211; not to steal other\u2019s properties, not to kill (non-violence), not to use intoxicants, not to tell lies, not to accept or keep money, not to commit adultery, not to sleep on comfortable beds, always intent upon achieving their sacred goals.<\/p>\n<p>Nirvana is the final result of the end of all desires. Man is to be judged by his deeds rather than by his birth and family. He opposed caste system and advocated equality. He gave importance to non-violence. He did not refer to God. Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are the three gems of Buddhism.<\/p>\n<p>Question 33.<br \/>\nWhy is Gupta age called \u201cThe Golden Age\u201d in the Indian History?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1. Introduction:<br \/>\nGupta period was a unique phase in the Indian history, due to the all-round development during this age. It has been described as the \u2018Golden age and Ahe \u201cClassical period of Indian history\u201d. Dr. R.N. Saletore has compared it with the ages of Augustus Caesar of Rome and Queen Elizabeth of England.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. L.D. Barnet compared it with the age of Pericles of Greece. The achievements in the fields of religion, education, literature, art, architecture, science and technology were extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>2. Religion:<br \/>\nRevival of Hinduism (Hindu renaissance) was one of the outstanding features of the Gupta age. Guptas followed Vedic religion, but they were tolerant towards the other religions. The worship of Vishnu, Shiva and Durga became very popular. Pashupata sect of Shaivism became very popular.<\/p>\n<p>Worship of the Saptamatrikas became widespread. The Shiva temple at Deogadh, the temple of Bhumara and the Mahakal temple of Ujjain were built in the Gupta age. The Gupta Rulers performed Vedic rites and sacrifices. Samudragupta and Chandragupta- II, were worshippers of Vishnu.<\/p>\n<p>They assumed the titles \u2018Parama Bhagavatha\u2019 (Devotee of Vishnu). Image worship, rites, and ceremonies became very common. The Vedic rituals like Ashwameda, Vajapeya, and Rajasuya yagas-were performed with all splendour. Buddhism also enjoyed great popularity during the Gupta age The Buddhist caves at Ajantha, Ellora, Kanheri and Karle belong to the Gupta period.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the Gupta rulers followed Buddhism and extended patronage to it. In fact, Buddha was adopted into Hinduism and he was regarded as one of the Avataras of Vishnu.<\/p>\n<p>3. Education:<br \/>\nEducation flourished well under the Guptas. The rulers themselves were great scholars. They paid special attention to education. Taxi la, Nalanda, Ajantha and Saranatha were well-known Universities of the Gupta era. Pataliputra and Vallabhi were great educational centres. The important subjects taught were Puranas, Literature, Philosophy, Arithmetic, Astrology, and Science.<\/p>\n<p>4. Literature:<br \/>\nThe Gupta age is called \u2018the Golden age of Sanskrit literature\u2019. Samudragupta has been described as a King among poets in the Allahabad inscription. He got a title of \u2018Kaviraja\u2019. Chandragupta-II (Vikramaditya-II) patronized the \u2018Nine gems\u2019 (navaratnas) of Sanskrit scholars in his court.<\/p>\n<p>Among them, Kalidasa was the most outstanding literary figure of that age. He wrote a number of excellent works like Malavikagnimithra, Vikramorvashiya, Shakunthala, Raghuvamsa, Kumara sambhava, Meghaduta, Rithusamhara, etc., Kalidasa emerges as the King of all poets and hailed as the \u2018Indian Shakespeare\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>5. Other important writers and their works:<br \/>\nSudraka wrote Mrichchakatika, Bharavi &#8211; Kiratarjuneya, Dandhi &#8211; Kavyadhara, Vishnusimha &#8211; Panchatantra, Amarasimha- Amarakosa, Vishakadatta &#8211; Mudrarakshasa, Bhavabuthi-Uttararam achari the, Charaka- Charakasamhithe, Shanku &#8211; Shilpashastra, Kshapanaka &#8211; Jyothishashastra, Vethalabhatta-Manth rashasthra, and others.<\/p>\n<p>The literary standard of this period was high and Sanskrit became the common as well as the official language. Naturally, this led to a renaissance in Sanskrit literature.<\/p>\n<p>6. Development of science:<br \/>\nThe Gupta age made a tremendous progress in the field of science, especially in the disciplines of Astronomy, Astrology, Mathematics, Medicine, and Metallurgy. Aryabhatta was one of the greatest scientists of this period. He wrote two great works- Aryabhatia and Surya siddhantha. He gave very valuable contributions to Indian science.<\/p>\n<p>Brahmagupta was the great astronomer and mathematician, who wrote the book \u2018Brahmaputra siddhantha. He showed the importance of zero. Varahamihira was the astronomer, who wrote Brihatsamhithe. Vridha Vagbhata (physician) wrote Ashtanga Sangraha. Dhanvantari (physician) wrote Ayurveda Nighantu.<\/p>\n<p>He was regarded as the father of Indian medicine. Charaka and Sushrutha were the physicians who wrote Samhithes. The Meharauli iron pillar discovered near Delhi is an outstanding example of the metallurgical skill of that period. It is still free from rust, even though it has been exposed to the elements like wind, rain, sun, etc., all these hundreds of years.<\/p>\n<p>7. Art and Architecture:<br \/>\nThe basic structural features of the Indian temple architecture were developed during the Gupta period. The Gupta art is famous for its simple expression and spiritual purpose. The art of the Guptas was purely Indian in nature. Naturalism, beauty, spiritualism, and realism were the main features of their art. Mathura, Benaras, Pataliputra, Udayagiri, Devgarh, etc were the centres of their artistic activities.<\/p>\n<p>The Gupta architecture is represented by many brick temples. The temples have pyramidal roofs and the walls are decorated with scenes from Hindu mythologies. The Dashavatara temple of Devgarh (MP), has a tower of about 40 feet. It\u2019s doorway is excellently carved and decorated.<\/p>\n<p>Many images of Shiva such as the Ekamukhi and Chaturmukhi Shivalings were also carved during this period. The Ardhanarishwara i.e., oneness of Shiva and Shakti is also a remarkable piece of work. Some temples were flat-roofed and square in shape with a shallow porch in front. For example, the Shiva temple at Bhuniara, the Vishnu temple at Tigawa, the Buddhist Shrine at Sanchi, etc., follow this design.<\/p>\n<p>8. Painting:<br \/>\nIn the field of painting, the artists of the Gupta age excelled in bringing out the emotions in a realistic manner. Many jataka stories have been illustrated. The scene of \u201cMother and child before Buddha\u201d in the Ajantha cave no. 16, the great Bodhisatva in cave no. 1 and the paintings on the ceilings of cave no. 2 are remarkable. Thus, it has been known as the \u2018Cradle of Asian art\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Question 34.<br \/>\nDescribe the achievements of Alla-Uddin Khilji.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\n1.

The period between 1757-1857 was marked by the plunder of Indian wealth, by East India Company. Political, social and cultural changes led to the rebellion against the British rule. This was the first united revolt and it was the outburst of accumulated discontent of Indians against the policies of East India company.<\/p>\n<p>The spark of patriotism was kindled in a military unit at Meerut which soon burst into a terrific flame and spread to other parts of the country and shook the British rule. British called this as \u2018Sepoy Mutiny&#8217;, but the nationalists called it as the first war of Indian Independence.<\/p>\n<p>Causes for the revolt:<\/p>\n<p>1. Political causes:<br \/>\nThe conquests and annexations of the British not only affected the ruling class, but also gave a rude shock to the sentiments of the people. The British interfered in the internal affairs of the Indian states and followed the policy of divide and rule.<\/p>\n<p>Implementation of the subsidiary Alliance and the Doctrine of Lapse, using the pretext of misrule to annex the Kingdoms and Princely states were the reasons for the Indian Kings, Princes, Soldiers, Zamindars to be disappointed with the actions of the British East India Company.<\/p>\n<p>2. Administrative causes:<br \/>\nThe British introduced a new system of administration which replaced the traditional system. The introduction of \u2018Rule of Law\u2019 and \u2018Equality before law&#8217; developed suspicion in the minds of the orthodox (traditional) Hindus; and Muslims. Indians were not given higher posts in the administration and were paid much less than the British officers with no promotions. This was contrary to the British policy of equality before law.<\/p>\n<p>3. Economic causes:<br \/>\nEconomic exploitation was an important cause for the revolt. The huge drain of wealth made India economically poor. The British trade policy had established a monopoly on trade. They converted India into a supplier of raw materials and a market for their finished goods.<\/p>\n<p>Indian native handicrafts suffered a lot. Indian goods could not be sold in England due to heavy taxes imposed on their export. The Land tax was also raised, due to which many of them were compelled to mortage their lands to moneylenders and consequently found themselves in deep debts. Dr. Eshwari Prasad remarks \u201cIndia became a milk cow for England, while her own children died of starvation&#8217;\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>4. Social causes:<br \/>\nMany social and religious reforms caused (Social Reforms Act) serious discontent among Hindu and Muslim orthodox sections. The British thought that they belonged to a superior race and humiliated Indians. The abolition of Sati, permission for widow remarriages, curb on child marriages, purdah, animal sacrifices, etc., caused a lot of unrest among the orthodox people.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of telegraph and railways were seen as efforts to chain the country and were clear signs of westernization. The British treated Indians as unworthy of trust, incapable of honesty and fit to be employed only where they could not do without them. They were rude and arrogant towards Indians and were very racial in their nature and spirit.<\/p>\n<p>5. Religious causes:<br \/>\nThe British activities affected the sentiments of Hindus and Muslims. The Chritian missionaries were seen everywhere in the schools, hospitals, prisons and at the market places. They tried to convert Indians to Christianity by various devious methods. The spread of English education and culture through missionaries and convents created suspicion among Indians about their religions.<\/p>\n<p>Hindu soldiers were forced to cross the sea against their belief. Forced intermarriages became a means to convert the natives to Christianity. Cartridges greased with Cows \/ Pigs fat affected the religious sentiments of Hindus and Muslims alike. The Europeans treated Indians as untouchables.<\/p>\n<p>6. Military causes:<br \/>\nIndian solidiers were paid very low salaries compared to the British soldiers of the same grade, and were not promoted to any rank higher than that of a subedar. According to the Enlistment Act of 1856 of Lord Canning, it required the sepoys to serve overseas also. Hindus believed that crossing the sea was a sin (Kalapani).<\/p>\n<p>The soldiers were often treated with contempt by their British officers. There were rumours among the sepoys that the British were trying to break their caste and convert them to Christianity. There were more than 75000 soldiers in the British army from Oudh. When Oudh was annexed by the British Empire citing maladministration, these soldiers were angry.<\/p>\n<p>7. Immediate causes:<br \/>\nThe British introduced new Enfield rifles. The top of the cartridges had to be removed by biting it off. A rumour spread that the cartridges were smeared with the fat of cows and pigs. The Indian sepoys felt that the British were trying to spoil their religion. They refused to use these rifles and the British forced and threatened the soldiers to use them. This was the spark, which later spread all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>Results of the revolt:<\/p>\n<p>The first war of Indian Independence marks a very important turning point in the history of India and its far-reaching results. They are :<\/p>\n<p>1. End of the Company rule:<br \/>\nThe East India Company rule was abolished and the British Crown took over the administration of India. Viceroy was the representative of the Crown in India and Lord Canning was the first Viceroy.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Queen\u2019s proclamation (or) Magna carta of India in 1858:<br \/>\nQueen Victoria issued her famous proclamation known as the Magna carta of the Indian people (Lord Canning announced it on 1<sup>st<\/sup> November 1858). Indians were promised that their rights, self-respect, honour and religious traditions would be safeguarded and Government jobs would be offered to all without any favouritism. The British Government will not annex any more Indian states.<\/p>\n<p>3. Reorganization of the Army:<br \/>\nThe Indian Army was reorganized. Number of the British soldiers in the army was increased, growth of sentiment of national unity among the sepoys was checked, but communal loyalties were encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>4. Unity among Indians:<br \/>\nThe revolt brought unity among Hindus and Muslims, as they came together to fight the British.<\/p>\n<p>5. Source of Inspiration:<br \/>\nThe revolt gave British a taste of Indian patriotism. It served as a source of inspiration in India\u2019s struggle for freedom. The heroes of the revolt soon became household names in the country. The Mughal rule also came to an end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PART &#8211; F<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">VI.
