The Regulating act of 177, formally recognised parliamentary right to control Indian Affairs. The Court of Directors of the company were obliged to submit all communication received from Bengal about civil, military and revenue matters in India to the British government. Hence, statement 1 is wrong. The British territories in India were also subjected to some degree of centralised control. The status of Governor of Bengal was raised to that of governor general and was given power to superintend and control the presidencies of Madras and Bombay in matters of waging war or making peace with the Indian states, except in emergency situations. Hence, statement 2 is correct. The act failed to streamline Indian administration. The provincial governors took advantage of the wide manoeuvring space they had been offered by the vague wording of the act. Hence, statement 3 is wrong.

Hence, statement 2 is correct. The act failed to streamline Indian administration. The provincial governors took advantage of the wide manoeuvring space they had been offered by the vague wording of the act. Hence, statement 3 is wrong.##Topic:Regulating Acts and Charter Acts##Subject:General Studies##Answer:c

The moderates submitted its grievances/demands in the form of petitions before the British Government. Which one of the following was not one of these early demands?
|
Increased participation of Indians in the legislative assembly.
|
Indianisation of civil services.
|
Provide education in vernacular language.
|
Increased participation of Indians in the legislative assembly.

The early moderates believed that the British Government was ignorant of Indian problems and if it would come to know them, it would take measures to remove them. They tried to enlighten British public opinion and parliament concerning Indian affairs.
Quite strategically, the Congress did not demand independence in the early stages of the national movement. Under the moderates, the Indian National Congress submitted its grievances in the form of petitions before the British Government. Its early demands included:
1. Increased participation of Indians in the legislative assembly
2. Indianisation of civil services
3. Providing more funds for educating Indians
4. Reduction of military expenditure and tax burden

Extremism or militant nationalism became a predominant philosophy of Indian nationalism or Indian national movement from 1905 to 1917. Many factors contributed to the rise of extremism or militant nationalism. One such factor was the opposition of certain early nationalists in the strategy and technique adopted by the moderates’ expression of faith in the fairness of the British, mendicancy and appealing to the British government. Important factors for the emergence of extremism: The failure of the Indian Council Act of 1892 in satisfying the aspirations of the Indians is another important cause. The callous attitude exhibited by the British towards the sufferings of the people due to the famine of 1897 was also one of the causes. The outbreak of the Bubonic plague in Bombay presidency and the means followed by the government created strong resentment in the minds of the people which led to the murder of Rand, the Plague Commissioner of Poona by the Chapekar brothers. Exclusion of educated Indians from the public services also which led to the dissatisfaction for the moderate methods. Lord Curzon’s high-handed mission, commission and omissions – the Calcutta Corporation Act of 1899, and Calcutta University Act of 1904, along with the partition of Bengal in 1905 accelerated the extremist movement. Social and Religious Awakening also played an important role in the emergence of extremist nationalism in India- The nineteenth-century movement of renaissance and reformation helped in reviving the faith of Indians in their culture. Raja Ram Mohan Roy and his Brahmo Samaj, Swami Dayananda and his Arya Samaj, Swami Vivekananda and his Ramakrishna Mission had played an important role in this regard. These organizations revived the glory of Indian Culture and generated a sense of self-confidence in the mind of Indians. The extremist leaders like Bipin Chandra Pal, Aurobindo Ghosh, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, etc. were influenced by the ideas of these reformers who had generated the spirit of patriotism along with the revival of Indian Culture. Hence all statements are correct.

A. O. Hume, a retired British civil servant, was accepted as the chief organizer of the Indian National Congress by the leaders of that time. What is the most appropriate reason for this?
|
To utilize the administrative knowledge of A. O. Hume.
|
The Indian Leaders had little organisational experience.
|
To avoid the official hostility at the early stage.
|
To utilize the administrative knowledge of A. O. Hume.
|
A. O. Hume was a man of high ideals with whom the Indian leaders did not find dishonour to co-operate. However, the main reason is selecting him as the chief organiser lies in the conditions of the time. Considering the size of the subcontinent, there were very few political persons in the early 1880s and the tradition of open opposition to the rulers was not yet firmly entrenched.
The Indian leaders decided to cooperate with A. O. Hume because they did not want to arouse the official hostility at such an early stage of their work. They assumed that the rulers would be less suspicious if its chief organizer was a retired British Civil servant.

Indigo planting started in Bengal as early as 1777. When the British Power expanded, the Indigo planting was emphasized because of a high demand of the Blue Dye in Europe. The peasants were compelled to plant Indigo rather than the food Crops. The peasants were provided loans called “dadon” for indigo planting which was at a very high interest rate. The loan made the people indebted and resulted in a rebellion. Indigo peasants launched revolt in Nadia district of Bengal presidency. They refused to grow Indigo. European Planters responded by increasing the rent and evicting farmers. This led to more agitations and confrontations. Later on, the revolt got support from the intelligentsia, press, missionaries and Muslims. The leaders were Digambar and Bishnu Bishwas. The condition was depicted in the Din Bandhu Mitra’s play Neel Darpan.
It was the most violent and widespread of the peasant movements. Also, it was a successful one. This was because of the tremendous initiative, cooperation, organization and discipline of the ryots.
Result : Government issued a notification that the Indian farmers cannot be compelled to grow indigo and that it would ensure that all disputes were settled by legal means. By the end of 1860, Indigo planters should down their factories and cultivation of indigo was virtually wiped out from Bengal.

With reference to neutrino, consider the following statements:
Neutrino are the most abundant sub atomic particle in the universe.
The interaction of neutrinos with electromagnetic force, provides the evidence that neutrinos have mass.
Of the three distinct kinds of neutrinos, electron neutrinos are believed to have very small charge.
Neutrinos can be produced by the reactions in a nuclear power reactor.

Neutrino are the second most abundant particle in the universe after photons, or light particles. Neutrinos have an extremely low propensity to interact with any object, thereby making their detection very difficult.
Neutrinos are high-energy sub-atomic particles of neutral charge produced during natural radioactive decays and all sorts of nuclear reactions in nuclear power reactors , particle accelerators or nuclear bombs. But the most common sources of neutrinos are celestial phenomena — the birth and death of stars, collisions and explosions happening in space. The core of the sun is an important source of neutrinos. Every fusion reaction in the sun, in which two hydrogen atoms get fused into one helium atom, releases two neutrinos.
Neutrinos belong to family of leptons. There are six different kinds of leptons – three negatively electrically charged leptons, and three electrically neutral. The best known electrically charged leptons are:
the electron (e)
the muon (μ)
the tauon (τ)
The three electrically neutral leptons are the neutrinos (ν). Associated to each charged lepton, there are three distinct kinds of neutrinos:
the electron neutrino (νe)
the muon neutrino (νμ)
the tauon neutrino (νε)
The evidence of neutrinos having mass comes from oscillation of neutrinos from one form to another. (The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015)

The Cornwallis code of 1793 set the rule of separating revenue collection from administration of civil justice as a safeguard for property rights against abuse of power by revenue officials and their agents. Hence, statement 1 is wrong.
The new system provided for a hierachy of courts from zillah(district) and city courts to four provincial courts and the Sadr Diwani Adalat with appellate jurisdiction. All the courts were to be headed by European judges , with provision for appointment of native commissioners. The fauzdari adalats, which until then functioned under Naib Nazim Reza Khan, were abolished and replaced by courts of circuit, headed by European judges. Sadr Nizamat Adalat was brought back to Calcutta and placed under supervision of Governor-General-in-Council. The Jurisdiction of these courts did not extend to the British born subjects, who remained under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Calcutta.
The entire judicial reform of Cornwallis spoke of one thing- a total exclusion of Indians from the whole system, which became less ambiguous in its authoritarian and racially superior overtones

The outbreak of the Seven Years' War in Europe between England and France in 1756 provided the context for the third and decisive round of Anglo- French conflict in south India. The most decisive battle of the Third Carnatic War was the Battle of Wandiwash in 1760. The succession dispute at Carnatic and Hyderabad provided the context for the Second Carnatic War. Hence, statement 1 is wrong. During the Third Carnatic War, French lost their positions in India, such as Chandernagore in Bengal, settlements at Masulipatnam and Yanam etc. However by the Peace of Paris in 1763 France got back all the factories and settlements that it possessed in India prior to 1749, with the provision that it could not any more fortify Chandernagore. But the balance of power in India had by now decisively changed with the steady expansion of power of the English company. The French East India Company was finally wound up in 1769.

The Essential Commodities Act (ECA) was enacted by the Central Government in 1955 to control and regulate trade and prices of commodities declared essential under the Act. The Act empowers the Central and state governments concurrently to control production, supply and distribution of certain commodities in view of rising prices. The measures that can be taken under the provision of the Act include, among others, licensing, distribution and imposing stock limits. The governments also have the power to fix price limits, and selling the particular commodities above the limit will attract penalties. The Drug Price Control Order (DPCO), Fertilizer Control Order and such other orders have been issued under the powers of the ECA. Seven major commodities are covered under the act. Some of them are: Petroleum and its products, including petrol, diesel, kerosene, Naphtha, solvents etc. Food stuff, including edible oil and seeds, vanaspati, pulses, sugarcane and its products like, khandsari and sugar, rice paddy. Jute and textiles Drugs- prices of essential drugs are still controlled by the DPCO. Fertilisers- the Fertiliser Control Order prescribes restrictions on transfer and stock of fertilizers apart from prices.

Parliament’s Power to Legislate on State List: Though under ordinary circumstances the Central Government does not possess power to legislate on subjects enumerated in the State List, but under certain special conditions the Union Parliament can make laws even on these subjects. In the National Interest (Art.249) : If the Rajya Sabha declares by a resolution supported by not less than 2/3 of its members present and voting, that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest that the Parliament should make laws with respect to any matter enumerated in the State List (Art.249). After such a resolution is passed, Parliament can make laws for the whole or any part of the territory of India. Such a resolution remains in force for a period of 1 year and can be further extended by one year by means of a subsequent resolution. Under Proclamation of National Emergency (Art.250) : Parliament can legislate on the subjects mentioned in the State List when the Proclamation of National Emergency is in operation. However, the laws made by the Parliament under this provision shall cease to have effect on the expiration of a period of six months after the Proclamation has ceased to operate, except as respects things done or omitted to be done before the expiry of the said period. By Agreement between States (Art. 252) : The Parliament can also legislate on a State subject if the legislatures of two or more states resolve that it is lawful of Parliament to make laws with respect to any matter enumerated in the State List relating to those State. Thereafter, any act passed by the Parliament shall apply to such states and to any other state which passes such a resolution. The Parliament also reserves the right to amend or repeal any such act. To Implement Treaties (Art. 253) : The Parliament can make law for the whole or any part of the territory of India for implementing any treaty, international agreement or convention with any other country or countries or any decision made at any international conference, association or other body. Any law passed by the Parliament for this purpose cannot be invalidated on the ground that it relates to the subject mentioned in the State list. Under Proclamation of President’s Rule (Art.356) : The President can also authorize the Parliament to exercise the powers of the State legislature during the Proclamation of President’s Rule due to breakdown of constitutional machinery in a state. But all such laws passed by the Parliament cease to operate six months after the Proclamation of President’s Rule comes to an end.

|
Near money is readily and easily available for borrowing owing to low interest rates; Dear money is money that turns expensive to borrow owing to high interest rates.

Near money is readily and easily available for borrowing owing to low interest rates; Dear money is money that turns expensive to borrow owing to high interest rates.
|
Near money is an economics term describing non-cash assets that are highly liquid, such as bank deposits, certificates of deposit (CDs) and Treasury Bills. Central Banks and economists may use it determine the current money supply. It is also known as quasi-money. Examples of liquid assets that are near money include bonds, money markets, savings accounts and widely traded foreign currencies. Money is said to be dearer when it turns expensive to borrow owing to high interest rates. It may also be known as 'tight money'. Hence option (c) is the correct answer.

A quantum computer is a computer design which uses the principles of quantum physics to increase the computational power beyond what is attainable by a traditional computer. Quantum computers have been built on the small scale and work continues to upgrade them to more practical models. Computers function by storing data in a binary number format, which result in a series of 1s & 0s retained in electronic components such as transistors. Each component of computer memory is called a bit and can be manipulated through the steps of Boolean logic so that the bits change, based upon the algorithms applied by the computer program, between the 1 and 0 modes. A quantum computer, on the other hand, would store information as either a 1, 0, or a quantum superposition of the two states. Such a "quantum bit," called a qubit, allows for far greater flexibility than the binary system. Exascale computing is used for computers capable of one billion calculations per second. Memocomputer is used for a computer that works by mimicking the human brain.

A censure means an expression of strong disapproval or harsh criticism. It can be a stern rebuke by a legislature, generally opposition against the policies of Government or an individual minister. However, it can also be passed to criticise, condemn some act. A censure motion can be moved in lower house of the parliament or in a state assembly in India. Usually we come across this word in context with the parliament of India, where it is moved by opposition against a specific policy of government or against a minister or against the whole council of ministers. If the censure motion is passed, the government does not need to resign, unlike in case of No-confidence motion. Speaker's permission is not required to move a Censure Motion, unlike the No-Confidence motion.

There are several reasons for this. First, the mountain topography in Karnataka is broader than the narrow topography of the Ghats in Maharashtra. Due to the greater width of the mountains, the rain bearing winds have to necessarily travel a longer distance and have more time for the drops to coalesce and precipitate as rainfall, resulting in higher rainfall. In contrast, the narrow width of the Ghats in Maharashtra allows the rain-bearing wind to cross over to the leeward side rapidly before precipitation can occur. As for Kerala, the Ghats there are in the form of isolated mountains, where the rain-bearing winds can easily cross over to the leeward side through the gaps in between without precipitation occurring. Second, the slope of the mountain has a direct bearing on the possibility of precipitation. This is borne out by the Ghats of Karnataka where the mountains are gently sloping, compared to the steep slopes of the Ghats in Maharashtra and Kerala. The air parcel will retain its energy and speed for a longer time when the slope is gradual. This will provide sufficient vertical motion to cloud droplets to grow by collision–coalescence process and hence form precipitation. Third, the gentle slope provides a greater area for sunlight absorption and heating leading to greater convection when compared with an abrupt slope i.e. less Ghat area such as that of the Maharashtra and Kerala Ghats. Fourth, the continuous mountain range presents a greater barrier to rain-bearing winds than a range comprising isolated mountains with gaps in between where the winds can easily pass to the leeward side. Unlike in the case of Kerala, the Ghats in Maharashtra and Karnataka are continuous.

This is borne out by the Ghats of Karnataka where the mountains are gently sloping, compared to the steep slopes of the Ghats in Maharashtra and Kerala. The air parcel will retain its energy and speed for a longer time when the slope is gradual. This will provide sufficient vertical motion to cloud droplets to grow by collision–coalescence process and hence form precipitation. Third, the gentle slope provides a greater area for sunlight absorption and heating leading to greater convection when compared with an abrupt slope i.e. less Ghat area such as that of the Maharashtra and Kerala Ghats. Fourth, the continuous mountain range presents a greater barrier to rain-bearing winds than a range comprising isolated mountains with gaps in between where the winds can easily pass to the leeward side. Unlike in the case of Kerala, the Ghats in Maharashtra and Karnataka are continuous.##Topic:Climate##Subject:Agriculture##Answer:b

Podzolization is the process of soil formation especially in humid regions involving principally leaching of the upper layers with accumulation of material in lower layers. It occurs regions having a positive moisture balance i.e. rate of precipitation is greater than rate of evaportion. It occurs primarily in areas where the vegetation has limited nutrient requirements and where the plant litter is acidic. These conditions are most prominent in mid and high latitude locales having a coniferous forest cover. Thus, podzolization is largely a Northern Hemisphere phenomena because there is not much land in the higher midlatitudes south of the equator. The typical location for podzolization is under a boreal forest in subarctic climates, which is found only in the Northern Hemisphere.

Final goods are of two types - Consumption Goods (consumer goods) and Capital Goods. Capital Goods are of durable character which are used in the production process. These are tools, implements and machines. While they make production of other commodities feasible, they themselves do not get transformed in the production process. These goods form a part of capital, one of the crucial factors of production in which a productive enterprise has invested, and they continue to enable the production process to go on for continuous cycles of production. Therefore, part of final output that comprises of capital goods constitutes gross investment of an economy. Further, a part of the capital goods produced this year goes for replacement of existing captial goods and in not an addition to the stock of capital goods already existing and its value needs to be subtracted from gross investment for arriving at the measure of net investment. This deletion is called depreciation.

The idea of transference of merit is a special feature of the teachings of Mahayana. According to the Hinayana a man can only help another on the way by example and advice. Each being must be a lamp unto himself, and work out his own salvation. Hence, statement 1 is not correct. Arhat (Sanskrit) or arahant (Pali) is defined as "one who is worthy" or as a "perfected person" having attained nirvana. Mahayana taught that instead of striving to become Arhants, men should aim at becoming Bodhisattvas, and by spiritual merit which they gained assist all living beings on the way to perfection. Hence, statement 2 is not correct. The followers of Vajrayana taught that salvation could be best attained by acquiring magical powers which they called Vajra ('Thunderbolt', or 'Diamond'). Hence, it was called "The vehicle of thunderbolt". Hence statement 3 is correct.

Statement 1 is incorrect. The Gender Parity Index (GPI) is a socioeconomic index usually designed to measure the relative access to education of males and females. In its simplest form, it is calculated as the quotient of the number of females by the number of males enrolled in a given stage of education (primary, secondary and tertiary). Statement 2 is correct. A GPI of 1 indicates parity between sexes. Statement 3 is correct. The recent data shows an improvement in girls education, with parity having been achieved between girls and boys at all levels of education, except higher education in the case of total and Scheduled Caste (SC) students. In the case of Scheduled Tribe (ST) students, parity between girls and boys has not been achieved across all levels of school and higher education.

E-Courts is a new concept where from filing of a petition till its disposal, use of paper is restricted to bare minimum. In a full fledged e-court, the lawyers would not need to carry bulky files but would come to court with laptops, pen drives and would be able to file the petitions in PDF. In India, ICT enablement of higher judiciary started in early nineties, covering the Supreme Court and all the 21 High Courts. Today, we have reached a stage where deployment of ICT in Supreme Court and the High Courts has reached a significant level of maturity. However, the lower judiciary, district and taluka courts across the country are largely untouched by the ICT revolution. The project envisages deployment of hardware, software and networking to assist district and taluka courts in streamlining their day to day functioning. National Informatics Centre is the implementing agency for the project. NIC personnel at District level will be part of District Project Monitoring Committee, headed by District Judge, to look after progress of e-Courts Project in the entire District, including Taluka Courts.

When the central bank follows Inflation Targeting, the government and the central bank together have to take steps towards ensuring price stability. Strong macroeconomic fundamentals like: Stable growth Low current account deficit Narrowing fiscal deficit Moderating inflation Low short term foreign currency liabilities and Sizeable exchange reserves relative to imports and liabilities are necessary for ensuring price stability. Repo rates and CRR are of importance to control liquidity and hence inflation. Too much money chasing too few goods will lead to inflation. Structural imperfections like hoarding and tax structures may also create supply side constraints leading to inflation.

The land is a vital resource to humankind, like air and water. Land degradation—the deterioration or loss of the productive capacity of the soils for present and future—is a global challenge that affects everyone through food insecurity, higher food prices, climate change, environmental hazards, and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Globally, about 25 percent of the total land area has been degraded. Land degradation can be in the form of higher acidity, alkalinity, salinity etc. Acidic Soil Soil with pH levels less than 7 are acidic. The lower the pH, the more acidic is the soil. Soils in humid regions tend to be acidic; those in semiarid and arid regions tend to be around neutral or alkaline. If soil is too acidic, it creates deficiencies in the available supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium For most acid soils, the most practical management option is to add lime to maintain current soil pH status or increase surface soil pH. Alkaline Soil Alkaline soils are clay soils with high pH (> 8.5), a poor soil structure and a low infiltration capacity. Often they have a hard calcareous layer at 0.5 to 1 metre depth. They are unfavorable mainly due to the dominating presence of sodium carbonate, which causes the soil to swell and difficult to clarify/settle. Reclamation of alkali soils requires the removal of exchangeable sodium and its replacement by calcium. This is accomplished by the application of gypsum or any other chemical amendment including several industrial wastes such as phospho-gypsum, distillery spent wash (DSW), etc. Saline soil It is a soil having excessive levels of soluble salts in the soil water (soil solution), high enough to negatively affect plant growth, resulting in reduced crop yields and even plant death under severe conditions The primary effect of excessive soluble salts on plants is to limit the ability of plant roots to absorb soil water even in wet soil conditions. Soil water flows from higher osmotic potential (low salt concentration) to lower osmotic potential (high salt concentration). A soil solution with low osmotic potential due to the higher concentration of soluble salt compared to the plant cells will not allow the plant roots to extract water from the soil causing draught like symptoms in the plants. It is called as osmotic effect. Management for a saline soil involves “leaching” the soluble salts from the soil profile. Leaching requires the application of irrigation water at rates above and beyond the basic water needs of the crop. Leaching takes place with the percolation of soil solutes (soluble salts) under saturated soil conditions. Hence all the pairs are correctly matched.

The Vernacular Press Act was designed to 'better control' the vernacular press (and not English newspapers) and effectively punish and repress seditious writing. There was strong public opinion against the imperialistic policies of Lytton, compounded by terrible famine(1876-77), on the one hand, and lavish expenditure on the imperial Delhi Durbar, on the other. The vernacular press was critical of the Government. The district magistrate was empowered to call upon the printer and publishe r of any vernacular newspaper to enter into a bond with the Government undertaking not to cause disaffection against the Government or antipathy between persons of different groups. The printer and publisher could also be required to deposit security which could be forfeited if the regulations were contravened. The magistrate's action was final and no appeal could be made in a court of law. Proceedings were instituted against Som Prakash under Vernacular Press Act but Amrita Bazar Patrika turned overnight into an English newspaper to escape the Act. There was strong opposition to the Act and finally Ripon repealed it in 1882. Hence only statement 2 is correct.

Danish Chartered Companies: There were two Danish chartered companies. The first company -Danish East India Company -operated between 1616 AD and 1650 AD. The second company existed between 1670 AD and 1729 AD, and in 1730 AD it was re-founded as the Asiatic Company. Serampore Mission Press: It is worth -mentioning that Serampore Mission Press – a historical landmark-was established at Serampore by the Danish missionaries in 1799 AD. Between 1801 AD and 1832 AD the Serampore Mission Press printed 212,000 copies of books in 40 different languages. Danish colonies in India included the towns of Tranquebar(Tamil Nadu)Serampore (West Bengal) and the Nicobar Islands. The Dutch, during their stay in India, tried their hands on the minting of coinages. As their trade flourished they established mints at Cochin, Masulipattam, Nagapatam Pondicherry and Pulicat. Even more, Gold pagoda with an image of Lord Venkateswara, (god Vishnu) was issued at Pulicat mint. The coins issued by the Dutch were all modelled on the local coinages. Portuguese hold over the coastal areas and superiority in naval power helped them significantly. By the end of the 16th century, the Portuguese captured not only Goa, Daman, Diu, and Salsette but also a vast stretches along the Indian coast. The French establishments included Pondicherry, Karikal and Yanaon on the Coromandel Coast, Mahe on the Malabar Coast and Chandernagor in Bengal.

A. O. Hume, a retired British civil servant, was accepted as the chief organizer of the Indian National Congress by the leaders of that time. What is the most appropriate reason for this?

To utilize the administrative knowledge of A. O. Hume.

The Indian Leaders had little organisational experience.
|
To avoid the official hostility at the early stage.
|
To utilize the administrative knowledge of A. O. Hume.

A. O. Hume was a man of high ideals with whom the Indian leaders did not find dishonour to co-operate. However, the main reason for selecting him as the chief organiser lies in the conditions of the time. Considering the size of the subcontinent, there were very few political persons in the early 1880s and the tradition of open opposition to the rulers was not yet firmly entrenched. The Indian leaders decided to cooperate with A. O. Hume because they did not want to arouse the official hostility at such an early stage of their work. They assumed that the rulers would be less suspicious if its chief organizer was a retired British Civil servant.
