"The British element is gone, but they have left the mischief behind."
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Said:
It is no use saying that we ask for separate electorates, because it is good for us. We
have heard it long enough. We have heard it for years, and as a result of this agitation
we are now a separate nation. Can you show me one free country where there are
separate electorates? If so, I shall be prepared to accept it. But in this unfortunate
country if this separate electorate is going to be persisted in even after the division of
the country, woe betide the country; it is not worth living in. Therefore, I say, it is not
for my good alone, it is for your own good that I say it, forget the past. One day, we may
be united... The British element is gone, but they have left the mischief behind. We do
not want to perpetuate that mischief (Hear, Hear). When the British introduced this
element they had not expected that they will have to go so soon. They wanted it for their
easy administration. That is all right. But they have left the legacy behind. Are we to get
out of it or not?
(i) Mention the meaning of separate electorates.
(ii) Why did Sardar Patel insist on unity?
(iii) Why was separate electorate considered a mischief by the British?

14. Read the following excerpt carefully and answer the questions that follow:
We have never asked for privileges
Hansa Mehta of Bombay demanded justice for women, not reserved seats, or separate
electorates. We have never asked for privileges. What we have asked for is social justice,
economic justice, and political justice. We have asked for that equality which alone can
be the basis of mutual respect and understanding, without which real cooperation is
not possible between man and woman.
(i) Hansa Mehta did not demand reserved seats for women. Give reasons.
(ii) What could be the basis of mutual respect among men and women?
(iii) Explain the ways in which the women can be empowered economically?
