Consider the following statements in the context of Rowlatt Satyagraha: 1. The Rowlatt Act authorized the Government to imprison any person without trial and conviction in a court of law. 2. Madan Mohan Malaviya and Muhammad Ali Jinnah resigned from the Imperial Legislative Council in protest against the act. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The Rowlatt Act authorized the Government to imprison any person without trial and conviction in a court of law. The Act would thus enable the Government to suspend the right of Habeas Corpus which had been the foundation of civil liberties in Britain. Hence statement 1 is correct. In March 1919, the Government passed the Rowlatt Act even though every single Indian member of the Central Legislative Council opposed it. Three of them, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Madan Mohan Malaviya and Mazhal-ul-Huq resigned their membership of the Council. Hence statement 2 is correct. Constitutional protest having failed, Gandhiji stepped in and suggested that a Satyagraha be launched. The younger members of the Home Rule Leagues who were more than keen to express their disenchantment with the Government began the propaganda. The form of protest finally decided upon was the observance of a nationwide hartal (strike) accompanied by fasting and prayer.

Which of the following was/were the main goals of Wavell’s Breakdown Plan? A safe withdrawal of the British from India.

The Breakdown Plan was prepared by Lord Wavell and his closest circle of advisors to deal with the fast evolving political situation in India. Two main political tendencies had crystallized in post-War India: Keeping India as one geographic entity; the second one was diametrically opposed to it, espoused by the Muslims, who wanted an independent Muslim-majority state. Wavell’s breakdown plan was formulated with two main goals in mind: Firstly, a safe withdrawal of the British from India ; secondly, to avoid a partition of India by attempting to maintain it as one geographic entity. For the first goal Wavell suggested a ‘phased withdrawal’ from India, which would be initiated from the Hindu-majority provinces of the south. The second goal was to be achieved by proposing a partition of both the Punjab and Bengal, as a bargaining tool with the Muslim League to deter from pursuing its agenda of a separate Muslim-majority homeland on religious grounds. Although Wavell’s overall plan was rejected in London, parts of it were, however, incorporated in the final withdrawal plan laid down by Mountbatten, Wavell’s successor, in his June 3 Plan. This included the partitioning of both the Bengal and the Punjab thus dealing a blow to Muslim interests in both those provinces.

Our earth has only one natural satellite, that is, the moon. Its diameter is only one-quarter that of the earth. It appears so big because it is nearer to our planet than other celestial bodies. It is about 3,84,400 km away from us. The moon moves around the earth in about 27 days. It takes exactly the same time to complete one spin. As a result, only one side of the moon is visible to us on earth. Hence option (d) is the correct answer. The moon orbits Earth at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometers per hour). The surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour. Earth's orbital speed around the sun is about 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h)

The commission was appointed by the Janta Party Government in 1977. The commission inquired about the excesses and malpractices committed during the emergency. It investigated allegations of abuse of authority and examined various kinds of shreds of evidence regarding the action taken in the wake of an emergency. The commission submitted its findings and recommendations in three volumes which were tabled in the Parliament. Identify the commission from the passage given above

J.C Shah Commission
|
Khusro Committee
|
Punchhi Commission
|
J.C Shah Commission
|
The Shah Commission was set up to go into the various kinds of ‘excesses' committed during the Emergency, submitted its report in three parts, the last one on August 6, 1978. If the sheer size of the report — it had 26 chapters and three appendices running to over 530 pages — reflected the enormity of the violence done to democratic institutions and ethics, it also expressed grave concern about the happenings and the damage they had inflicted on the system. The Justice G.T. Nanavati commission was a one-man commission headed by Justice G.T. Nanavati, a retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India, appointed by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in May 2000, to investigate the "killing of innocent Sikhs" during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Punchhi Commission was constituted by the Government of India in 2007 as a Commission on Centre-State relations. It was chaired by Justice Madan Mohan Punchhi who was formerly the Chief Justice of India from 18 January 1998 until his retirement on 9 October 1998. The Commission came into effect on the 27th of April, 2007 to relook into the problems and issues in Centre-State relations in India ever since these issues were earlier looked into by the Sarkaria Commission which had submitted its report in 1988. Khusro Committee : A Committee headed by an economist, A.M. Khusro, that conducted an appraisal of the agricultural credit system in India. Several observations and recommendations were made in its report in 1989, including the following : Setting up of an apex institution for the co-operative banks. The merger of Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) with the respective sponsoring banks. Establishment of Agricultural and Rural Development Corporations for some eastern and north-eastern states of India, in order to increase the tempo of agricultural lending. Hence option (a) is the correct answer

EEE stands for exempt, exempt, exempt. Here, the first exempt means that your investment is allowed for a deduction. So, you don’t have to pay tax on part of the salary that equals the invested amount. Similarly, the second exempt implies that you don’t have to pay any tax on the returns earned during the accumulation phase. The third and final exempt means that your income from the investment would be tax-free in your hands at the time of withdrawal. EET is exempt, exempt, taxed. Your money at the stages of contribution and accumulation is exempt from tax, which is explained by EE, but at the time of withdrawal, you need to pay a tax on it, denoted by T. Since your accumulation—principal plus return—is taxed at the time of withdrawal, your returns from such instruments come down, depending on your tax slabs. Taxation at withdrawal stage will disincentivise the withdrawals as people think that let the savings continue. EEE status is generally enjoyed by long-term investment vehicles, such as Public Provident Fund and Employees Provident Fund. Currently, other instruments such as equity-linked savings schemes (ELSS) and life insurance policies also enjoy the EEE status.

The balance of payments (BoP) record the transactions in goods, services, and assets between residents of a country with the rest of the world for a specified time period typically a year. It can be divided into two parts - Current account and capital account. The current account records exports and imports in goods and services and transfer payments. Trade in services denoted as invisible trade includes both factor income (net income from compensation of employees and net investment income, the latter equals, the interest, profits and dividends on our assets abroad minus the income foreigners earn on assets they own in India) and net non-factor income (shipping, banking, software services, etc. ). Transfer payments consist of remittances, gifts, and grants. The capital account records all international purchases and sales of assets such as money, stocks, bonds, etc. Statement 1 is correct: Compensation for Indian resident for providing overseas IT services is essentially a service export and hence comes under current account. Statement 2 is correct: Profits earned by a French citizen residing in India on assets owned in France is essentially profit earned by an Indian resident for abroad assets and hence comes under current account. Statement 3 is not correct: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) investing in India is essentially sale of stocks and hence comes under capital account.

Quantitative easing (QE) is an unconventional monetary policy in which a central bank purchases government securities or other securities from the market in order to increase the money supply and encourage lending and investment. Hence statement 1 and statement 2 are not correct. When short-term interest rates are at or approaching zero, normal open market operations, which target interest rates, are no longer effective, so instead a central bank can target specified amounts of assets to purchase. This is a situation of a liquidity trap. A liquidity trap occurs when a period of very low-interest rates and a high amount of cash balances held by households and businesses fails to stimulate aggregate demand. So, when interest rates fail to propel demand. unconventional monetary tools like Quantitative Easing are used. QE increases the money supply by purchasing assets with newly created bank reserves in order to provide banks with more liquidity. QE can devalue the domestic currency as the money supply increases. For manufacturers, this may help stimulate growth because exported goods would be cheaper in the global market. QE are complemented by lower interest rates in the economy but do not lead to higher interest rates in the economy. QE programs were widely used following the 2008 financial crisis. If the money supply increases too quickly, quantitative easing can lead to higher rates of inflation. This is due to the fact that there is still a fixed amount of goods for sale when more money is now available in the economy. Additionally, banks may decide to keep funds generated by quantitative easing in reserve rather than lending those funds to individuals and businesses. Hence statement 3 is correct.

The earliest of the dynastic coins relate to those of the Indo-Greeks, the Saka-Pahlavas and the Kushans . These coins are generally placed between the 2nd century BC and the 2nd century AD. Hellenistic traditions characterize the silver coins of the Indo-Greeks, with Greek gods and goddesses figuring prominently, apart from the portraits of the issuers. These coins with their Greek legends are historically significant, as the history of the Indo-Greeks has been reconstructed almost entirely on their evidence. The Saka coinage of the Western Kshatrapas is perhaps the earliest dated coins, the dates being given in the Saka era which commences in AD 78. The Saka era represents the official calendar of the Indian Republic. Hence, statement 1 is correct. The term Western Kshatraps alludes to the set of rulers who ruled Western India between the 1st and 4th century AD. The legends on the coins were generally in Greek and Brahmi. Kharoshti too was used. The Western Kshatrap coins are reckoned to be the earliest coins bearing dates. The common copper coins are the 'bull and hill' and the 'elephant and hill' types. From around 200 BC, many Greek adventures rode off with their armies to try their hand at conquering their own little kingdoms in the fabled land of golden fortune, India. The early coins seem like they could have come directly from Greece itself, with their diadems and helmets, Greek scripts and Greek goddesses, and Greek names like Demetrios and Appollodotos. Over time, these Indo-Greek kings became ever more Indian. They started worshipping the Buddha and Hindu gods like Vishnu and Krishna. In fact, the earliest known depiction of Lord Krishna is on the coin of a King Agathokles, who depicts him in a chiton (an ancient Greek dress worn by men), along with his chakra. T hey were the first to issue gold coins in India. Hence, statement 2 is correct. Earliest Kushan coinage is generally attributed to Vima Kadphises. The Kushan coins generally depicted iconographic forms drawn from Greek, Mesopotamian, Zorastrian and Indian mythology. Lord Shiva, Buddha and Kartikeya were the major Indian deities portrayed. Kushan gold coins influenced subsequent issues, notably those of the Guptas. Hence, statement 3 is correct. Gupta coinage (4th-6th centuries AD) followed the tradition of the Kushans, depicting the king on the obverse and a deity on the reverse; the deities were Indian and the legends were in Brahmi. The earliest Gupta coins are attributed to Samudragupta, Chandragupta II and Kumaragupta and their coins often commemorate dynastic succession as well as significant socio-political events, like marriage alliances, the horse sacrifice, etc (King and queen type of coin of Chandragupta-I, Asvamedha type, etc.), or for that matter artistic and personal accomplishments of royal members (Lyrist, Archer, Lion-slayer etc.). Gupta rulers issued many different types of gold coins. Hence, statement 4 is not correct.

The term Western Kshatraps alludes to the set of rulers who ruled Western India between the 1st and 4th century AD. The legends on the coins were generally in Greek and Brahmi. Kharoshti too was used. The Western Kshatrap coins are reckoned to be the earliest coins bearing dates. The common copper coins are the 'bull and hill' and the 'elephant and hill' types. From around 200 BC, many Greek adventures rode off with their armies to try their hand at conquering their own little kingdoms in the fabled land of golden fortune, India. The early coins seem like they could have come directly from Greece itself, with their diadems and helmets, Greek scripts and Greek goddesses, and Greek names like Demetrios and Appollodotos. Over time, these Indo-Greek kings became ever more Indian. They started worshipping the Buddha and Hindu gods like Vishnu and Krishna. In fact, the earliest known depiction of Lord Krishna is on the coin of a King Agathokles, who depicts him in a chiton (an ancient Greek dress worn by men), along with his chakra. T hey were the first to issue gold coins in India. Hence, statement 2 is correct. Earliest Kushan coinage is generally attributed to Vima Kadphises. The Kushan coins generally depicted iconographic forms drawn from Greek, Mesopotamian, Zorastrian and Indian mythology. Lord Shiva, Buddha and Kartikeya were the major Indian deities portrayed. Kushan gold coins influenced subsequent issues, notably those of the Guptas. Hence, statement 3 is correct. Gupta coinage (4th-6th centuries AD) followed the tradition of the Kushans, depicting the king on the obverse and a deity on the reverse; the deities were Indian and the legends were in Brahmi. The earliest Gupta coins are attributed to Samudragupta, Chandragupta II and Kumaragupta and their coins often commemorate dynastic succession as well as significant socio-political events, like marriage alliances, the horse sacrifice, etc (King and queen type of coin of Chandragupta-I, Asvamedha type, etc.), or for that matter artistic and personal accomplishments of royal members (Lyrist, Archer, Lion-slayer etc.). Gupta rulers issued many different types of gold coins. Hence, statement 4 is not correct.##Topic:Others##Subject:Geography##Answer:c

Statement 1 is correct. The same social political and economic process that produced industrial development and social and cultural development in Britain, also produced and then maintained economic underdevelopment and social and cultural backwardness in India. The reason for this is that Britain subordinated the Indian economy to its own economy and determined the basic social trends in India according to her own needs. Statement 2 is correct. Poverty in India was the product of 200 years of British rule, before that, India was no more backward than the countries of Western Europe. Nor were the differences in standard of living at that time very wide among the countries of the world. During the period the countries of the west developed, India was subjected to modern colonialism and was prevented from developing.
