"We are not going just to copy"

This is what Jawahar Lal Nehru said in his famous speech of 13 December,
1946 :
We say that it is our firm and solemn resolve to have an independent sovereign
republic. India is bound to be sovereign, it is bound to be independent and it
is bound to be a republic... Now, some friends have raised the question:
“Why have you not put in the word ‘democratic’ here ?” Well, I told them
that it is conceivable, of course, that a republic may not be democratic but
the whole of our past is witness to this fact that we stand for democratic
institutions. Obviously we are aiming at democracy and nothing less than a
democracy. What form of democracy, what shape it might take is another
matter. The democracies of the present day, many of them in Europe and
elsewhere, have played a great part in the world’s progress. Yet it may be
doubtful if those democracies may not have to change their shape somewhat
before long if they have to remain completely democratic. We are not going
just to copy, I hope, a certain democratic procedure or an institution of a so-
called democratic country. We may improve upon it. In any event whatever
system of government we may establish here must fit in with the temper of
our people and be acceptable to them. We stand for democracy. It will be for
this House to determine what shape to give to that democracy, the fullest
democracy.

(i) Define the term sovereignty. 1

(ii) Which constitutions of the countries were referred by the Constitution 1
Assembly ?

(iii) How is democracy explained in this source ? 2

Darbar-i Akbari

Abu'l Fazl gives a vivid account of Akbar's darbar :
Whenever His Majesty (Akbar) holds court (darbar) a large drum is beaten,
the sounds of which are accompanied by Divine praise. In this manner,
people of all classes receive notice. His Majesty's sons and grandchildren,
the grandees of the Court, and all other men who have admittance, attend to
make the kornish, and remain standing in their proper places. Learned men
of renown and skillful mechanics pay their respects; and the officers of
justice present their reports. His Majesty, with his usual insights, gives orders,
and settles everything in a satisfactory manner. During the whole time, skillful
gladiators and wrestlers from all countries hold themselves in readiness,
and singers, male and female, are in waiting. Clever jugglers and funny
tumblers also are anxious to exhibit their dexterity and agility.

(i) How were the people informed about the conduct of the court ? 1

(ii) How was the social control exercised in the court ? 1

(iii) How did Akbar dispose of the appeals or cases in the court ? 2
