introduced to create a sense of collective identity among the French

22. Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow : 1+2=3
From the early nineteenth century, there were intense debates around
religious issues. Different groups confronted the changes happening
within colonial society in different ways, and offered a variety of new
interpretations of the beliefs of different religions. Some criticised
existing practices and campaigned for reform, while others countered the
arguments of reformers. These debates were carried out in public and in
print. Printed tracts and newspapers not only spread the new ideas, but
they shaped the nature of the debate. A wider public could now
participate in these public discussions and express their views. New ideas
emerged through these clashes of opinions. This was a time of intense
controversies between social and religious reformers and the Hindu
orthodoxy over matters like widow immolation, monotheism,
Brahmanical priesthood and idolatry. In Bengal, as the debate developed,
tracts and newspapers proliferated, circulating a variety of arguments.
To reach a wider audience, the ideas were printed in the everyday,
spoken language of ordinary people.
(22.1) Analyse any one issue of intense debate around religious issues.
(22.2) Examine the role of print media in these debates.

30. Read the sources given below and answer the questions related to
them : 1+2+2=5
Source A  Globalisation and the Indian economy
As consumers in today’s world, some of us have a wide choice of goods
and services before us. The latest models of digital cameras, mobile
phones and televisions made by the leading manufacturers of the world
are within our reach. Every season, new models of automobiles can be
seen on Indian roads.

Source B  Foreign trade and integration of markets
Foreign trade creates an opportunity for the producers to reach beyond
the domestic markets, i.e., markets of their own countries. Producers can
sell their produce not only in markets located within the country but can
also compete in markets located in other countries of the world.
Similarly, for the buyers, import of goods produced in another country is
one way of expanding the choice of goods beyond what is domestically
produced.

Source C  The struggle for fair globalisation
In the past few years, massive campaigns and representation by people’s
organisations have influenced important decisions relating to trade and
investments at the WTO. This has demonstrated that people also can
play an important role in the struggle for fair globalisation.
