141. (1) The\r\nBattle of Buxar was fought on 23 October 1764 between the forces under the\r\ncommand of the British East India Company led by Hector Munro, and the combined\r\nMuslim army of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal; Shuja-ud-Daulathe Nawab of Awadh\r\nand the Mughal King Shah Alam II. The prime victim Shah Alam II, signed the\r\nTreaty of Allahabad that secured Diwani Rights for the Company to collect and\r\nmanage the revenues of almost 100,000,000 acres of real estate which form parts\r\nof the modern states of West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar\r\nPradesh, as well as areas in the neighbouring country of Bangladesh. The Treaty\r\nof Allahabad heralded the establishment of the rule of the East India Company\r\nin one-eighth of India proper with a single stroke. The battles of Plassey and\r\nBuxar secured a permanent foothold for the British East India Company in the\r\nrich province of Bengal, and secured its political ascendancy in the entire\r\nregion later to be named India.
142. (4) Kakori\r\nconspiracy (also called the Kakori train robbery or Kakori Case) was a train\r\nrobbery that took place between Kakori and Alamnagar, near Lucknow, on 9 A\r\nigust 1925 during the Indian Independence Mover ent against the British Indian\r\nGovernment. The idea of this robbery was conceived by Ram Prasad Bismil and\r\nAshfaqullah Khan who belonged to the Hindustan Republican Association or HRA,\r\nwhich became later the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association or HSRA after\r\n1928. The robbery plan was executed by Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan,\r\nRajendra Lahiri, Chandrashekhar Azad, Sachindra Bakshi, Keshab Chakravarthy,\r\nManmathnath Gupta, Murari Sharma (fake name of Murari Lai Gupta), Mukundi Lai\r\n(Mukundi Lai Gupta) and Banwari Lai.
143. (3) A\r\nkhanqah also known as a ribat is a building designed specifically for\r\ngatherings of a Sufi brotherhood, or tariqa, and is a place for spiritual\r\nretreat and character reformation. In the past, and to a lesser extent\r\nnowadays, they often served as hospices for Sufi travelers (salik) and Islamic\r\nstudents (talib). Khanqahs are very often found adjoined to dargahs (shrines of\r\nSufi saints), mosques and madrasas (Islamic schools).
144. (3) The\r\nTreaty of Bassein (Now called Vasai) was a pact signed on December 31, 1802\r\nbetween the British East India Company and Baji Rao II, the Maratha Peshwa of\r\nPune (Poona) in India after the Battle of Poona. The treaty was a decisive step\r\nin the dissolution of the Maratha Confederacy, which led to the East India\r\nCompany’s usurpation of the Peshwa’s territories in western India in 1818.
145. (3) The\r\nkingdoms of Golconda and Ahmednagar did not contend for the Tungabhadra Doab.
146. (4) Tryst\r\nwith Destiny was a speech made by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of\r\nindependent India. The speech was made to the Indian Constituent Assembly, on\r\nthe eve of India’s Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. It focuses\r\non the aspects that transcend India’s history. It is considered to be one of\r\nthe greatest speeches of all time and to be a landmark oration that captures\r\nthe essence of the triumphant culmination of the hundredyear non-violent Indian\r\nfreedom struggle against the British Empire in India. The phrase “rendezvous\r\nwith destiny” was used by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1936 Democratic National\r\nConvention speech, inspiring the similar phrase “tryst with destiny” by\r\nJawaharlal Nehru.
147. (2) There\r\nhas been evidence that the people of the Indus Valley Civilization believed in\r\nsome form of animal and nature worship. The figure of deities on the seals\r\nindicates that they worshipped gods and goddesses in the human form. No major\r\nsculpture survives but for a bust thought to be of a major priest and the\r\nstunning bronze dancing girl. The Divine Mother appears to have been an\r\nimportant goddess, due to the countless terra-cotta statues of her that were\r\nfound. It follows a school of thought that would become prevalent later as\r\nwell, of the female energy being regarded as the source of all creation. What\r\nis most interesting is the existence of a male god which has been identified as\r\na proto-type of an important God of the religion of Hinduism, lord Shiv. The\r\nfact that the same God is still worshippeu today, and has been for the last\r\nfive thousand years is one of the remarkable features of Indian culture. Even\r\nevidence of the Bhakti cult (loving devotion to a personal God) has been found\r\nat Indus Valley Civilization sites, and the Bhakti cult also has a large\r\nfollowing even today. It can therefore be concluded that there is a close\r\nrelationship between the beliefs of the Indus Valley Civilization and that of\r\nmodern Hinduism.
148. (3)\r\nSatyagraha and sarvodaya were Mahatma Gandhi’s most significant and\r\nrevolutionary contributions to contemporary political thought. He felt that the\r\nexercise of satyagraha could be carried out through non-cooperation. Civil\r\ndisobedience and non-cooperation as practised under Satyagraha are based on the\r\n“law of suffering”, a doctrine that the endurance of suffering is a means to an\r\nend. This end usually implies a moral upliftment or progress of an individual\r\nor society. Therefore, non-cooperation in Satyagraha is in fact a means to\r\nsecure the cooperation of the opponent consistently with truth and justice.
149. (2) The\r\nBhakti Movement stressed on the mystical union of the individual with God. The\r\nsufi movement laid great emphasis on love and devotion as the bond between God and the individual soul.\r\nThe stress was on direct communion with God and forsaking dogmatic rituals.
