381. (1) Vijaya\r\nLakshmi Nehru Pandit was an Indian diplomat and politician, the sister of\r\nJawaharlal Nehru. Between 1946 and 1968 she headed the Indian delegation to the\r\nUnited Nations. In 1953, she became the first woman President of the United\r\nNations General Assembly.
382. (3) Gandhi’s\r\ngreatest contribution to the social thought of this century is perhaps his\r\ninsistence on decentralization of the means of production (i.e. say economic\r\npower). According to him, large-scale industrialism is at the base of the\r\ncentralization of political power in few hands. It is in the very nature of\r\nlargescale industries to centralize economic power in the hands of a few\r\nindividuals. Under capitalism this power comes to be concentrated in the hands\r\nof individual capitalists and under socialism it is arrogated by managers,\r\ntechnocrats and bureaucrats.
383. (1)\r\nAccording to Gandhi, Non violence is not passive. It is active, creative,\r\nprovocative and challenging. Gandhi described non-violence as “A force more\r\npowerful than all the weapons of world combined.” “Non violence is the greatest\r\nand most active force in the world.” Gandhi wrote, “It is mightier than the\r\nmightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of humanity. When we\r\ntap into the spirit of nonviolence, it becomes contagious and can topple\r\nempires.” According to Gandhi one should be brave and not a coward. He should\r\npresent his views, suggestions and thoughts without being violent. One should\r\nfight a war with the weapons of truth and non violence.
384. (2) In\r\nDecember 1922, Chittaranjan Das, Narasimha Chintaman Kelkar and Motilal Nehru\r\nformed the Congress-Khilafat Swarajaya Party with Das as the president and\r\nNehru as one of the secretaries. Other prominent leaders included Huseyn\r\nShaheed Suhrawardy and Subhas Chandra Bose of Bengal, Vithalbhai Patel and\r\nother Congress leaders who were becoming dissatisfiecfwith the Congress.
385. (1) Goa is a\r\nformer Portuguese colony, the Portuguese overseas territory of Portuguese India\r\nexisted for about 450 years until it was annexed by India in 1961. In 1510, the\r\nPortuguese defeated the ruling Bijapur kings with the help of a local ally,\r\nTimayya, leading to the establishment of a permanent settlement in Velha Goa\r\n(or Old Goa). In 1843 the capital was moved to Panjim from Velha Goa. By the\r\nmid18th century the area under occupation had expanded to most of Goa’s present\r\nday state limits. Simultaneously the Portuguese lost other possessions in India\r\nuntil their borders stabilized and formed the Estado da India Portuguesa, of\r\nwhich Goa was the largest territory.
386. (2) Nalanda\r\nwas an ancient center of higher learning in Bihar, India. It was a Buddhist\r\ncenter of learning from the fifth or sixth century CE to 1197 CE. Nalanda\r\nflourished between the reign of the Chakraditya (whose identity is uncertain\r\nand who might have been either Kumara Gupta I or Kumara Gupta II) and 1197 CE,\r\nsupported by patronage from the Hindu Gupta rulers as well as Buddhist emperors\r\nlike Harsha and later emperors from the Pala Empire
387. (*)\r\nTughlakabad Fort is a ruined fort in Delhi, built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the\r\nfounder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321. The Red\r\nFort is a 17th century fort complex constructed by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan.\r\nThe fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s new capital,\r\nShahjahanabad, the seventh city in the Delhi site. Hauz Khas is named after an\r\nancient water reservoir by the same name. The large water tank or reservoir was\r\nfirst built by Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316) to supply water to the inhabitants\r\nof Siri Fort. Siri Fort, in the city of New Delhi, was built during the rule of\r\nAla-ud-Din Khilji of the Delhi Sultanate to defend the city from the onslaught\r\nof the Mongols. It was the second of the seven cities
of medieval Delhi built around 1303.
388. (2) The\r\nhistory of rail transport in India began in the mid-nineteenth century. In\r\n1849, there was not a single kilometer of railway line in India. By 1929, there\r\nwere 66,000 km of railway lines serving most of the districts in the country.\r\nAt that point of time, the railways represented a capital value of some British\r\nSterling Pounds 687 million. The primary purpose for the introduction of\r\nrailways was to serve the colonial interests in a better way. Besides, the\r\nRevolt of 1857 had shown how vulnerable and fragile the roots of British rule\r\ncould be. So Railways were introduced to organize administration in a better\r\nway and facilitate British commercial interests in India.
389. (2) Dadabhai\r\nNaoroji in his Presidential address at the National Congress in Calcutta said,”\r\nWe must have Swaraj on the lines granted to Canada and Australia, which is our\r\nsole aim.” For him Swaraj meant administration of affairs in a country by her\r\nown people on their own strength in accordance with the welfare of the people\r\nwithout even nominal suzerainty.
