Case Based Questions (4x3 = 12 marks) Read the following source carefully and answer the questions that follow: Communalism can take various forms in politics: ‘The most common expression of communalism is in everyday beliefs. These routinely involve religious prejudices, stereotypes of religious communities and belief in the superiority of one’s religion over other religions. This is so common that we often fail to notice it, even when we believe in it. [0999DPF464108240013| Ward Work Leads to Stroug Foundation 5935.1 35.2 35.3 PRE-NURTURE & CAREER FOUNDATION DIVISION 15-09-2024] A communal mind often leads to a quest for political dominance of one's own religious community. For those belonging to majority community, this takes the form of majoritarian dominance. For those belonging to the minority community, it can take the form of a desire to form a separate political unit, Political mobilisation on religious lines is another frequent form of communalism. This involves the use of sacred symbols, religious leaders, emotional appeal and plain fear in order to bring the followers of one religion together in the political arena. In electoral politics, this often involves special appeal to the interests or emotions of voters of one religion in preference to others Sometimes communalism takes its most ugly form of communal violence, riots and massacre. India and Pakistan suffered some of the worst communal riots at the time of the Partition, The post- Independence period has also seen large scale communal violence. What does the communal mind lead to ? (1 mark) Which common expression of communalism gets involved in our everyday beliefs? (I mark) How does communalism takes its most ugly form? (2 marks) Read the following source carefully and answer the questions that follow: Different persons can have different developmental goals, what may be development for one may not be development for the other, It may even be destructive for the other. Each one of them seeks different things. They seek things that are most important for them, i.e., that which can fulfil their aspirations or desires. In fact, at times, two persons or groups of persons may seek things which are conflicting. A girl expects as much freedom and opportunity as her brother, and that he also shares in the household work, Her brother may not like this. Similarly, to get more electricity, industrialists may want more dams. But this may submerge the land and disrupt the lives of people who are displaced — such as tribals. They might resent this and may prefer small check dams or tanks to irrigate their land. Besides seeking more income, one way or the other, people also seek things like equal treatment, freedom, security, and respect of others. They resent discrimination. All these are important goals. In fact, in some cases, these may be more important than more income or more consumption because material goods are not all that you need to live. Money or material things that one can buy with it, is one factor on which our life depends. But the quality of our life also depends on non-material things mentioned above, For development, people look at a mix of goals. Hence, the developmental goals that people have are not only about better income but also about other important things in life What can be the developement goals for an industrialists ? (1 mark) Besides income what other people seek ? (1 mark) On the what f ctors Quality of life depends ?

With so many thousands of goods and services produced, you might think this is an impossible task! Not only would the task be enormous, you might also wonder how we can add up cars and computers and nails and furniture. It won't make sense! You are right in thinking so to get around this problem, economists suggest that the values of goods and services should be used rather than adding up the actual numbers, Remember, there is one precaution one has to take, Not every good (or service) that is produced and sold needs to be counted. It makes sense only to include the final goods and services. Take, for instance, a farmer who sells wheat to a flour mill for Rs 20 per kg. The mill grinds the wheat and sells the flour to a biscuit company for Rs 25 per kg. The biscuit company uses the flour and things such as sugar and oil to make four packets of biscuits. It sells biscuits in the market to the consumers for Rs 80 (Rs 20 per packet). Biscuits are the final goods, i.e., goods that reach the consumers, Why are only “final goods and services’ counted? In contrast to final goods, goods such as wheat and the wheat flour in this example are intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are used up in producing final goods and services. The value of final goods already includes the value of all the intermediate goods that are used in making the final good. Hence, the value of Rs 80 for the biscuits (final good) already includes the value of flour (Rs 25). To count the value of wheat and flour separately is therefore not correct because then we would be counting Read the following source carefully and answer the questions that follow:the value of the same things a number of times. First as wheat, then as flour and finally as biscuits. The value of fi al goods and services produced in each sector during a particular year provides the total production of the sector for that year. And the sum of production in the three sectors gives what is called the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country. It is the value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a particular year. GDP shows how big the economy is. In India, the mammoth task of measuring GDP is undertaken by a central government ministry, ‘This Ministry, with the help of various government departments of all the Indian states and union territories, collects information relating to total volume of goods and services and their prices and then estimates the GDP. What method does economists suggest to count various goods and services ? (1 mark) Value of which goods and services is counted ? (1 mark) What is GDP ?
