ANSWERS

I.

1. A) What do you think that why the two World Wars were occurred?

A: I believed the following reasons are caused for the outbreak of two World Wars.

Aggressive Nationalism: Italian Facism from 1923 and National Socialism of

German Nazis were the other forms of Aggressive Nationalism in distructive

mode. This idealogy could also be used to create pride in one self and hatred

against neighbours. In Balcon islands Aggressive Nationalism and disturbed

areas were formed.

Imperialism: By the end of the 19th century there was a race for colonies among

the industrial developed European countries for markets and raw materials. This

created much stress often leading to wars.

Secret Alliances: Triple Entente formed with Russia, France and England. Triple

Alliance led by Germany along with Austria and Italy. These Alliances were

created an atmosphere of fear and armed peace in Europe instead of real peace.

Militarism: Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy, France and England etc. each of

these countries built massive standing armies, competed with each other in

increasing their armaments and built a mindset among the people to support

wars.

Immediate Provocation: Austrian prince Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian

in Bosnia. Austria declared war on Serbia was the curtain raised incident for First

World War. Hitler's attack on Poland was the immediate cause for the outbreak

of Second World War.

(OR)

B) Write the reasons for outbreak of Anti Hindi Agitation?

A: ★ When the Official Language Act was passed in 1963, the DMK party in

Tamilnadu believed it was an attempt to foist Hindi on the rest of the country

and they began a state-wide campaign protesting the imposition of Hindi.

★ The people who participated in this movement believed South Indian

Languages were neglected as a result of Hindi recognised as National

Language.

★ Tamilnadu state people questioned the National Language Status to Hindi.

★ People tried to bring this movement nation-wide with strong emotional

feeling.

★ This movement turned as the great Social Movement with great number of

people's participation through strikes, dharnas and hartals. This changed the

Government's attitude towards the implementation of Hindi as official

language.

2. A) How does the Right to Information Act useful for the people?

A: RTI - Usefulness:

★ According to Right To Information Act (RTI), any citizen can approach any

government departments and ask for any information that could be in the

form of a record.

★ Disseminating information that is generated in government department to any

citizen who may be interested, now becomes the responsibility of all

government departments.

★ This Act ensures better transparency. For example, as the roads are built, the

Public Works Department put a notice board which shows the income and

expenditure details of the work.

★ RTI Act provides transparancy and accountability to the commonmen.

★ Democracy require an informed citizenry and transparency of information.

This can be done only through RTI Act.

★ RTI Act ensures to prevent corruption by way of peoples vigilant observation

and questioning of government activities.

(OR)
