The given paragraph is about Racial Discrimination between the Black and the White people. It is related to Africa. One more point is that tribal chiefs were given control and the government promoted them.
Nigeria is an African country. It was a colony of the British, The British created Nigeria by bringing together different regions around the Niger river system where people of different tribes lived
Before bringing alt together, they faced many problems. Hausa Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba tribe were there. Due to long years of missionary activity, many people still practice tribal relious beliefs
The British implemented their divide-and-rule policy. A section of the people were educated and developed. If alt the people were united in Nigeria. then the British would face the problem, The British always wanted to divide the Vietnamese based on colour or religious practices. That the Britishers followed in India to divide Indians. All the Indians came together and fought against the British, Then the Bribsters encouraged the Muslims to form a separate party for Muslims
They emphasised that Indian National Congress was the party of Brahmins and of upper caste. Gradually Hindus and Muslims were separated and so the national movement was weakened
Now afl the Independent countries should give equal opportunities to all and equality is to be maintained. There will be no racial discrimination at any level
Question 2.
Read the given paragraph and write your opinion.
The coastal environment of Nigeria has been disturbed because of reckless Oil extraction by foreign oit companies. Oil spillage from oil wels has a major impact on the ecosystem?
Answer:
The given paragraph emphasises that the coastal environment of Nigeria has been disturbed because the oil companies extracted more than their share. It is talking about the consequences of over-spillage of oil
Over spillage of oil has various negative consequences:
Oil spillage from oil wells has a major impact on the ecosystem. Large areas of the mangrove forests, which are especially susceptible to oil, have been destroyed. This is mainly because oil is stored in the soil and re-released annually
Around 5-10% of Nigerian mangrove ecosystems have been destroyed either by clearing or oil. Spills destroy crops and agriculture through contamination of the groundwater and soil. Drinking water is also frequently contaminated, and sheen of oil is visible in many local bodies of water
Even if there is no immediate health effect of this water contamination, it can cause cancer in the long term. Offshore spills, which are usually much bigger in scale, contaminate the coastal environments and cause a decline in the local fish production. If the same is continued the whole world be affected. Oil is a natural resource. So natural resources are to be saved
Question 3.
Write about China at the turn of the 20th century?
Answer:
At the turn of the 20th century China was ruled by emperors of Manchu dynasty, which had become powerless to defend the interests of China vis a vis the western colonial powers. These powers had carved out their spheres of influence in different parts of China and had forced the emperors to give them economic and political concessions like low Import taxes, immunity from Chinese Paws, and maintaining armed forces. etc. Both the common people and administrators of the empire were un!happy with this state of affairs,
There were several revolts by the people and attempts at reform by the administrators
Question 4.
Why did the Guomindang fall?
Answer:
- The Guomiridang, despite its attempts to unite the country, failed because of its narrow social base and limited political vision
- A major plank in SunyeI-sens programme - regulating capital and equalising land was never carried out because the party Ignored the peasantry and the raising social Inequality
- it sought to impose military order rather than address the problems faced by the people
Question 5.
Mao was unlike other leaders - Why?
Answer:
- Mao stressed the need for an independent government and army
- He had become aware of womens problems and supported the emergence of rural womens associations
- He promulgated a new marriage law that forbade arranged marriages, stopped purchase or sale of marriage contracts arid simplified divorce. So Mao was unlike other leaders
These are compulsory for aU the human beings. Chiang had to continue all these four, instead, he put conditions as he was a conservative. Sun-yetsen wanted to control the capital and equalize land but it was not carried out. The parties have to identify the problems of the people and they should fight for welfare of the people
In democratic system all are treated as equal, Here in China, the women were not allowed to wear the dress they like. They are fixing the dress. Though the cultural roots of a country are to be protected, freedom should be given to them. In many countries women are leading the governments and political parties. In our country also about five states are being ruled by women as Cheif Ministers
In my opinion, Chiang Kai shek couldnt fix so. By giving an advice to protect the tradition of the country he should allow the women to wear any of the dresses and chastity is not only the question of women, it is applicable to women also
