questions :
It meant the end of Cold War confrontations. The ideological
dispute over whether the socialist system would beat the capitalist
system was not an issue any more. Since this dispute had engaged the
military of the two blocs, had triggered a massive arms race and
accumulation of nuclear weapons ........, the end of confrontation
demanded an end to this arms race and a possible new peace.

Cold War.
(ii) Why did the arms race lead to a demand for peace ? Explain.
(iii) Why was accumulation of nuclear weapons considered as a
great danger to the global environment ?

Non-alignment is also not neutrality. Neutrality refers
principally to a policy of staying out of war. States practising
neutrality are not required to help end a war. They do not get involved
in wars and do not take any position on the appropriateness or
morality of a war. Non-aligned states, including India, were actually
involved in wars for various reasons.
(i) Define Non-alignment.
(ii) Differentiate between non-alignment and neutrality.
(iii) Inspite of being non-aligned states, why were some states involved
in war ? Give any one reason.

Read the passage given below carefully and answer the following
questions :

Things changed after independence and partition. Our leaders felt

that carving out states on the basis of language might lead to disruption
and disintegration. It was also felt that this would draw attention away
from other social and economic challenges that the country faced.

independence and partition.

questions :
Most parts of the country voted in January 1952. It took six
months for the campaigning, polling and counting to be completed.
Elections were competitive — there were on an average more than
four candidates for each seat. The level of participation was
encouraging — more than half the eligible voters turned out to vote
on the day of elections. When the results were declared, these were
accepted as fair even by the losers. This experiment of Universal
Adult Franchise proved the critics wrong.
(i) What is meant by Universal Adult Franchise ?
(ii) Explain any two reasons due to which it took about six
months to complete the first general elections in 1952.
(iii) How did the elections held in 1952 in India prove that
democracy could be practised anywhere in the world ?
