follow :

Irrigating trees and fields

This is an excerpt from the Babur Nama that describes the irrigation
devices the emperor observed in northern India :
The greater part of Hindustan country is situated on level land.
Many though its towns and cultivated lands are, it nowhere has
running waters ... For ... water is not at all a necessity in
cultivating crops and orchards. Autumn crops grow by the
downpour of the rains themselves; and strange it is that spring
crops grow even when no rains fall. (However) to young trees,
water is made to flow by means of buckets or wheels ...
In Lahore, Dipalpur (both in present-day Pakistan) and
those other parts, people water by means of a wheel. They make
two circles of rope long enough to suit the depths of the well, fix
strips of wood between them, and on these fasten pitchers. The
ropes with the wood and attached pitchers are put over the
wheel-well. At one end of the wheel-axle a second wheel is fixed,
and close to it another on an upright axle. The last wheel the
bullock turns; its teeth catch in the teeth of the second (wheel),
and thus the wheel with the pitchers is turned. A trough is set
where the water empties from the pitchers and from this the
water is conveyed everywhere.
In Agra, Chandwar, Bayana (all in present-day Uttar
Pradesh) and those parts again, people water with a bucket ... At
the well-edge they set up a fork of wood, having a roller adjusted
between the forks, tie a rope to a large bucket, put the rope over
a roller, and tie its other end to the bullock. One person must
drive the bullock, another empty the bucket.
(29.1) Explain with examples, the sources of irrigation used in Lahore
during Mughal period. 2
(29.2) Which systems were used in Agra for irrigating lands ? Explain
with examples. 2
(29.3) How did the irrigation projects receive the support of the Mughal
state ? 2

follow :
‘‘I believe separate electorates will
be suicidal to the minorities’’
During the debate on 27 August 1947, Govind Ballabh Pant said :
I believe separate electorates will be suicidal to the minorities and
will do them tremendous harm. If they are isolated for ever, they
can never convert themselves into a majority and the feeling of
frustration will cripple them even from the very beginning. What is
it that you desire and what is our ultimate objective ? Do the
minorities always want to remain as minorities or do they ever
expect to form an integral part of a great nation and as such to
guide and control its destinies ? If they do, can they ever achieve
that aspiration and that ideal if they are isolated from the rest of
the community ? I think it would be extremely dangerous for them
if they were segregated from the rest of the community and kept
aloof in an air-tight compartment where they would have to rely on
others even for the air they breathe ... The minorities if they are
returned by separate electorates can never have any effective voice.
(30.1) ‘‘Some leaders in the Constituent Assembly argued for the
continuation of separate electorates.’’ Examine the statement. 2
(30.2) Analyse the perspective of Gobind Ballabh Pant in opposing the
proposal. 2
(30.3) Analyse the arguments made on making India a strong unified
nation state. 2
