28. Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows :
Why Non-cooperation ?
In his famous book Hind Swaraj (1909) Mahatma Gandhi declared that British
rule was established in India with the cooperation of Indians, and had survived
only because of this cooperation. If Indians refused to cooperate, British rule in
India would collapse within a year, and swaraj would come.
How could non-cooperation become a movement ? Gandhiji proposed that the
movement should unfold in stages. It should begin with the surrender of titles
that the government awarded, and a boycott of civil services, army, police,
courts and legislative councils, schools, and foreign goods. Then, in case the
government used repression, a full civil disobedience campaign would be
launched. Through the summer of 1920 Mahatma Gandhi and Shaukat Ali
toured extensively, mobilizing popular support for the movement.
(28.1) What was the weapon of Gandhiji to fight against British Empire in India ?
(28.2) How did the British survive in India ?
(28.3) Explain Gandhiji’s idea for making non-cooperation as movement.

31. Describe any five features of Indian National Congress Party. 15=5
32. Read the following sources and answer the questions that follows :
Source A – Accountable, responsive and legitimate government
In a democracy, we are most concerned with ensuring that people will have
the right to choose their rulers and people will have control over the rulers.
Whenever possible and necessary, citizens should be able to participate in
decision making that affects them all. Therefore, the most basic outcome of
democracy should be that it produces a government that is accountable to
the citizens, and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens.
Source B – Economic growth and development
The difference in the rates of economic development between less developed
countries with dictatorships and democracies is negligible. Overall, we
cannot say that democracy is a guarantee of economic development. But we
can expect democracy not to lag behind dictatorships in this respect.
Source C – Dignity and freedom of the citizens
Democracy in India has strengthened the claims of the disadvantaged and
discriminated castes for equal status and equal opportunity. There are
instances still of caste-based inequalities and atrocities, but these lack the
moral and legal foundations. Perhaps it is the recognition that makes
ordinary citizens value their democratic rights.
Source A – Accountable, responsive and legitimate government
(32.1) How does democratic government develop mechanism for
citizens to be the part of political decision making ? 1
