Q. "South Asia constitutes one geopolitical space, yet stands for diversity." Justify the statement.

Ans: The region is home to a rich diversity of cultures and religions, and yet it constitutes one geo-political space.

This is because the five countries share a common history and destiny, and have cooperative and competitive relations with each other on a number of issues.

They have also signed many important multilateral and bilateral agreements in various fields.

South Asia is a region of varied cultures and economies, each with its own role to play.

South Asia as a geopolitical space is a relatively recent development. It came into being with the gradual decline of the British Empire and the rise of independent states and nation-states in the subcontinent.

South Asia is one of the most diverse regions in the world. This is reflected in the wide variety of cultures, languages, cuisines, religions, and people that make up this region.

Q. Why is the Presidential election in 1969 in India considered 'Historical'? Highlight any two reasons.

Ans. The first controversial presidential election was held in the year 1969 when the internal difference among the syndicate members of the Congress party created a tussle of war between then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the syndicate after the sudden demise of then-president Zakir Hussain. Indira Gandhi had favoured V.V Giri as presidential candidate whereas the party members had preferred Neelam Sanjiva Reddy. Amidst this tussle, the fifth presidential election was held where V.V Giri contested as an independent candidate to defeat Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, the official candidate of the Congress Party. The presidential election was controversial due to various complications which included constitutional silence on the appointment of acting head of the country after a sudden vacancy in the office of the President. The major reason behind such controversies was Indira’s willingness to support V.V Giri as the presidential candidate due to bitter relations with then Finance Minister “Morarji Desai”.  

Q. "The objective of ASEAN is not restricted only to accelerate economic growth." Explain the statement. 

Ans. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a political and economic union of 10 member states in Southeast Asia, which promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration between its members and other countries in Asia. So it is not just economic growth ASEAN nations work on but also social and political growth. 

Q. Explain the concept of 'Total Revolution'advocated by Jai Prakash Narayan.

Ans. Total Revolution is a combination of seven revolu­tions, namely, political, social, economic, cultural, ideological or intellectual, educational and spiritual; and the main motive is to bring in a change in the existing society that is in tune with the ideals of the Sarvodaya. JP had a very idealistic notion of soci­ety and it is in this endeavour, that he shifted from Marxism to Socialism and later towards Sarvodaya.
