Emboldened with this success, Gandhi ji in 1919 decided to launch a nationwide

Satyagraha against the proposed Rowlatt Act (1919). This Act had been hurriedly

passed through the Imperial Legislative Council despite the united opposition of the

Indian members. It gave the government enormous powers to repress political

activities, and allowed detention of political prisoners without trial for two years.

Mahatma Gandhi wanted non-violent civil disobedience against such unjust laws,

which would start with a hartal on 6 April.

i. Why did the British introduce the Rowlatt Act?

ii. Examine the effect of this Act on Indians.

iii. How did Mahatma Gandhi respond to the Rowlatt Act? Provide one reason for

his reaction.

Given the abundance and renewability of water, it is difficult to imagine that we may

suffer from water scarcity. The moment we speak of water shortages; we

immediately associate it with regions having low rainfall or those that are drought

prone. We instantaneously visualise the deserts of Rajasthan and women

balancing many ‘matkas’ (earthen pots) used for collecting and storing water and

travelling long distances to get water. True, the availabiility of water resources varies

over space and time, mainly due to the variations in seasonal and annual

precipitation, but water scarcity in most cases is caused by over-exploitation,

excessive use and unequal access to water among different social groups.

i. Give any one reason that could contribute to water scarcity in the future?

ii. Why a resident of Rajasthan would choose to install a submersible water pump?

iii. Why is water conservation crucial? Discuss any one key for effective water

management and conservation.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT Once it is realised that even though the level

of income is important, yet it is an inadequate measure of the level of development,

we begin to think of other criterion. There could be a long list of such criterion but

then it would not be so useful. What we need is a small number of the most

important things. Health and education indicators, such as the ones we used in

comparison of Kerala and Punjab, are among them. Over the past decade or so,

health and education indicators have come to be widely used along with income as

a measure of development. For instance, Human Development Report published

by UNDP compares countries based on the educational levels of the people, their

health status and per capita income. It would be interesting to look at certain

relevant data regarding India and its neighbours from Human Development Report

2006.

i. On what basis the UNDP compares countries on Human Development?

ii. Explain Human development briefly.

iii. Mention other aspects that should be considered in measuring human
