A newspaper report

The following report, titlted ‘The ryot and the moneylender’, appeared in
the Native Opinion (6 June 1876), and was quoted in Report of the Native
Newspapers of Bombay :

‘‘They (the ryots) first place spies on the boundaries of their

villages to see if any Government officers come, and to give
timely intimation of their arrival to the offenders. They
then assemble in a body and go to the houses of their
creditors, and demand from them a surrender of their
bonds and other documents, and threaten them in case of
refusal with assault and plunder. If any Government officer
happens to approach the villages where the above is taking
place, the spies give intimation to the offenders and the
latter disperse in time.’’

(14.1) On the basis of the passage, establish the relationship among

the ryots and the moneylenders.

(14.2) How did ryots spy on Government officers ?

(14.3) What was the reaction of ryots on seeing a Government officer ?

(14.4) Why did moneylenders often flee from the villages ?

We have never asked for privileges

Hansa Mehta of Bombay demanded justice for women, not reserved seats,

We have never asked for privileges. What we have asked for

is social justice, economic justice, and political justice. We
have asked for that equality which alone can be the basis of
mutual respect and understanding, without which real
cooperation is not possible between man and woman.

(14.3) What could be the basis for mutual respect among men and

Read the following extracts carefully and answer the questions that
follow :

The most ancient system yet discovered

About the drains, Mackay noted : ‘‘It is certainly the

most complete ancient system as yet discovered.’’
Every house was connected to the street drains. The
main channels were made of bricks set in mortar and
were covered with loose bricks that could be removed
for cleaning. In some cases, limestone was used for
the covers. House drains first emptied into a sump or
cesspit into which solid matter settled while waste
water flowed out into the street drains. Very long
drainage channels were provided at intervals with
sumps for cleaning. It is a wonder of archaeology that
‘‘little heaps of material, mostly sand, have
frequently been found lying alongside drainage
channels, which shows ... that the debris was not
always carted away when the drain was cleared.’’

FROM ERNEST MACKAY, Early Indus Civilisation, 1948.

Drainage systems were not unique to the larger

cities, but were found in smaller settlements as well.
At Lothal for example, while houses were built of
mud bricks, drains were made of burnt bricks.

OR

Producing ‘‘fine sons’’

Here is an excerpt of a mantra from the Rigveda, which was

probably inserted in the text c. 1000 BCE, to be chanted by
the priest while conducting the marriage ritual. It is used
in many Hindu weddings even today :

I free her from here, but not from there. I have

bound her firmly there, so that through the
grace of Indra she will have fine sons and be
fortunate in her husband’s love.

Indra was one of the principal deities, a God of valour,

warfare and rain. ‘‘Here’’ and ‘‘there’’ refer to the father’s
and husband’s house respectively.

(15.1) Who was Indra ?

(15.2) Why did the people want to be blessed by Indra ?

(15.3) Why did the people wish for fine sons ?

(15.4) Mention the Rigveda Mantra given in the passage. How is it

used in today’s ‘Hindu Society’ ?

horse with a flask of water in his hand, according to the
custom of the country. I am also provided with every useful
article, such as a tent of moderate size, a carpet, a portable
bed made of four very strong but light canes, a pillow, a
mattress, round leather table-cloths used at meals, some
few napkins of dyed cloth, three small bags with culinary
utensils which are all placed in a large bag, and this bag is
again carried in a very capacious and strong double sack or
net made of leather thongs. This double sack likewise
contains the provisions, linen and wearing apparel, both of
master and servants. I have taken care to lay in a stock of
excellent rice for five or six days’ consumption, of sweet
biscuits flavoured with anise (a herb), of limes and sugar.
Nor have I forgotten a linen bag with its small iron hook for
the purpose of suspending and draining dahi or curds;
nothing being considered so refreshing in this country as
lemonade and dahi.

(16.1) Who was Bernier ? Why did he come to the Mughal Empire ?

(16.2) What was Bernier expected to keep with him while travelling
with the Mughal army ?

(16.3) Mention the useful articles provided to Bernier while he

travelled with the army to Kashmir.

(16.4) Mention two things considered refreshing in India.

A Sprawling City
CSBE Sample papers, Question, papers, Notes For Class 6 to 12

This is an excerpt from Domingo Paes’s description of

Vijayanagara :

The size of this city I do not write here, because it

cannot all be seen from any one spot, but I climbed a

hill whence I could see a great part of it; I could not

see it all because it lies between several ranges of

hills. What I saw from thence seemed to me as large

as Rome, and very beautiful to the sight; there are

many groves of trees within it, in the gardens of the

houses, and many conduits of water which flow into

the midst of it, and in places there are lakes; and the

king has close to his palace a palm-grove and other

rich fruit-bearing trees.

(16.1) From where could Domingo Paes see a greater part of the city ?

(16.2) Why could he not see the whole city ?

(16.3) Describe the main features of the city of Vijayanagara.

(16.4) How did the author compare it with Rome ?
