|
Setting up of rural banks by the Britishers.

Development of Railways and means of communication increased revenue of British government.
|
American Civil War and increased demand of cotton from India.
|
Setting up of rural banks by the Britishers.
|
American civil war broke out in 1861. Raw cotton imports from America fell drastically and Britain sent messages to increase cotton exports from India. As cotton prices soared, the merchants gave advances to urban sahukars to secure supply which in turn extended credit to those rural moneylenders who promised to secure the produce. The ryots in the Deccan villages suddenly found access to seemingly limitless credit. However this credit dried with the end of American civil war in 1865.

The introduction of competitive examinations in 1853, though opened the opportunities for the Indians, but they still remained effectively barred as the recruitment examination was held in England only. Hence, 2nd Statement is correct.
By 1941, the Indians outnumbered the British in the membership of the civil service with the gradual 'Indianisation' of civil services and with the Government of India Act 1919 providing for a separate recruitment examination to the ICS to be held in India.Hence, 3rd Statement is correct.

Methane from gas hydrates may constitute a future source of natural gas. So gas hydrates has huge potential to fulfil energy requirements of world. Methane within gas hydrates had been prognosticated as more than 1,500 times of India’s present natural gas reserve.
Gas hydrates are found in: Marine shelf sediments, In deep lake sediments (e.g.Lake Baikal), In the polar permafrost regions.
The website of the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons says, “As an unconventional hydrocarbon resource, methane hydrates have been the focus of our quest for meeting our energy demands and it was this objective that India’s National Gas Hydrate Program (NGHP) was launched.”
It, however, added that the commercial production of methane from gas hydrates was still a far-fetched thought although the NGHP had set itself a deadline of mid-2015 to commence commercial production.

With reference to the Ghadar movement, consider the following statements:
The movement was strongly secular.

The movement was strongly secular in nature. Concern with religion was seen as petty and narrow-minded, and unworthy of revolutionaries. Leaders belonging to, different religions and regions were accepted by the movement. Lala Har Dayal was a Hindu, and so were Ram Chandra and many others, Barkatullah was a Muslim and Rash Behari Bose a Hindu and a Bengali. But perhaps much more important, the Ghadarites consciously set out to create a secular consciousness among the Punjabis.
Another marked feature of Ghadar ideology was its democratic and egalitarian content. It was clearly stated by the Ghadarites that their objective was the establishment of an Independent Republic of India.
The Ghadar Movement also failed to generate an effective and sustained leadership that was capable of integrating the various aspects of the movement. Har Dayal himself was temperamentally totally unsuited to the role of an organizer; he was a propagandist, an inspirer, an ideologue. Even his ideas did not form a structured whole but remained a shifting amalgam of various theories that attracted him from time to time. Further, his departure from the U.S. at a critical stage left his compatriots floundering.
Hence all the statements given are correct.

The demand of the Satyagraha was the total remission of land revenue due to failed crops and not to reduce the untimely increase of land revenue. Hence, 1st statement is incorrect. Gandhiji did not undertake any fasting in Kheda, rather he asked the farmers to withhold the revenue payments. Gandhi undertook fast unto death in Ahmedabad Mill Strike and later on the issue of Communal Award. Hence, 2nd Statement is incorrect. The government never agreed to the demands and reduced the revenues. The government was not willing to openly concede the peasants' demands. However, they issued secret instructions directing that revenue should be recovered only from the peasants who afford to pay it. Hence, 3rd Statement is incorrect.

"The terms of the agreement included the immediate release of all political prisoners not convicted for violence, the remission of all fines not yet collected, the return of confiscated lands not yet sold to third parties, and lenient treatment for those government employees who had resigned. The Government also conceded the right to make salt for consumption to villages along the coast, as also the right to peaceful and non-aggressive picketing. The Congress demand for a public inquiry into police excesses was not accepted, but Gandhiji’s insistent request for an inquiry was recorded in the agreement." - Bipan Chandra's book, ch 22
