29. Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that
follow :
It is important to remember that India chose to involve other
members of the non-aligned group in this mission. During the Cold War,
India repeatedly tried to activate those regional and international
organisations, which were not a part of the alliances led by the
superpowers. Nehru reposed great faith in ‘a genuine Commonwealth of
free and cooperating nations’ that would play a positive role in softening,
if not ending, the Cold War.
(a) Which two superpowers led their alliances ?
(b) What type of positive role was expected from the free and
cooperating nations ?
(c) Why did India want to involve other members of the non-aligned
group in the said mission ? 1+2+2=5

30. Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that
follow :
The formation of Andhra Pradesh spurred the struggle for making
of other states on linguistic lines in other parts of the country. These
struggles forced the Central Government into appointing a States
Reorganisation Commission .............. to look into the question of
redrawing of the boundaries of states .............. . On the basis of its report,
the States Reorganisation Act was passed in .............. . This led to the
creation of 14 States and six Union territories. It was hoped that if we
accept the regional and linguistic claims of all regions, the threat of
division and separatism would be reduced. Besides, the accommodation of
regional demands and the formation of linguistic states were also seen as
more democratic.
(a) When was the States Reorganisation Commission appointed and
when was the States Reorganisation Act passed ?
(b) What was the main recommendation of the States Reorganisation
Commission ?
(c) How many States and Union Territories are there in India at
present ?
(d) Do you agree that the formation of linguistic states in India
is a democratic step ? Support your answer with a suitable
argument. 1+1+1+2=5
