प्रश्न-अभ्यास
(पाठ्यपुस्तक से)

कहानी से

प्रश्न 1.
नागराजन के अलबम के मुख्य पृष्ठ पर क्या लिखा था और क्यों? इसका असर कक्षा के दूसरे लड़के-लड़कियों पर क्या हुआ?
उत्तर
नागराजन के अलबम के मुख्य पृष्ठ पर उसका नाम लिखा था-ए.एम. नागराजन और नीचे ये पंक्तियाँ लिखी थीं-‘इस अलबम को चुराने वाला बेशर्म है। ऊपर लिखे नाम को कभी देखा है? यह अलबम मेरा है। जब तक घास हरी है और कमल लाल, सूरज जब तक पूर्व से उगे और पश्चिम में छिपे, उस अनंत काल तक के लिए यह अलबम मेरा है, रहेगा।

इन पंक्तियों को लिखने का उद्देश्य यह था कि उस अलबम को कोई चुराए नहीं। लड़के-लड़कियों को यह पंक्तियाँ इतनी पसंद आईं कि उन्होंने इसे अपने किताब-कॉपी और अलबम पर उतार लिया।

प्रश्न 2.
नागराजन के अलबम के हिट हो जाने के बाद राजप्पा के मन की क्या दशा हुई?
उत्तर
नागराजन के अलबम के हिट हो जाने के बाद राजप्पा कुढ़ने लगा। उसका स्कूल जाने का मन न होता। दोस्तों से भी वह दूर रहने लगा। टिकट संग्रह में भी उसकी रुचि पहले जैसी न रही। वह हर वक्त अपना अलबम हाथ में लिए बैठा रहता। उसे अपने अलबम से चिढ़ होने लगी। जो टिकट उसने इतनी मेहनत से एकत्र किए थे, वही उसे कूड़ा लगने लगे।

प्रश्न 3.
अलबम चुराते समय राजप्पा किस मानसिक स्थिति से गुजर रहा था?
उत्तर
अलबम चुराते समय राजप्पा का दिल तेजी से धड़क रहा था। अलबम कमीज के नीचे खोंसकर वह भागता हुआ अपने घर पहुँचा। उसका शरीर जल रहा था। गला सूख गया था और चेहरा तमतमा रहा था। रात का खाना भी वह नहीं खा सका उसकी सूरत भयानक हो गई थी। घर के लोग उसे देखकर चिंतित हो गए थे। रात में उसे ठीक से नींद भी नहीं आई। अलबम को तकिए के नीचे रखकर ही वह सो पाया।

प्रश्न 4.
राजप्पा ने नागराजन का टिकट-अलबम अँगीठी में क्यों डाल दिया? ।
उत्तर
नागराजन के पिता डी.एस.पी. के दफ्तर में काम करते थे। अप्पू ने राजप्पा को बताया था कि वह अलबम खोने की सूचना पुलिस को देने वाले हैं। राजप्पा यह सोचकर डर गया कि पुलिस के तलाशी लेने पर वह पकड़ा जाएगा इसलिए घबराहट में उसने नागराजन का अलबम अँगीठी में डाल दिया।

प्रश्न 5.
लेखक ने राजप्पा के टिकट इकट्ठा करने की तुलना मधुमक्खी से क्यों की?
उत्तर
जिस तरह मधुमक्खी रात-दिन एक करके अपना शहद इकट्ठा करती है, उसी तरह राजप्पा भी सब कुछ भूल कर टिकट इकट्ठा करने के पीछे पड़ा रहता। वह सुबह आठ बजे ही टिकट की खोज में निकल जाता। मीलों पैदल चलकर वह अपने टिकट इकट्ठा करने वाले दोस्तों के पास जाती और दो टिकट देकर एक दूसरा टिकट लेता। उसकी इसी धुन के कारण लेखक ने उसकी तुलना मधुमक्खी से की है।

कहानी से आगे

प्रश्न 1.
टिकटों की तरह ही बच्चे और बड़े दूसरी चीजें भी जमा करते हैं। सिक्के उनमें से एक हैं। तुम कुछ अन्य चीजों के बारे में सोचो जिन्हें जमा किया जा सकता है। उनके नाम लिखो।
उत्तर
टिकटों के अलावा बच्चे और बड़े दूसरी चीज़े भी जमा कर सकते हैं। जैसे- प्ले कार्ड, ग्रीटिंग कार्ड, पेन, पुस्तकें, पत्ते, चित्र, बैग, जूते, पेंटिंग्स या अनमोल कलाकृतियाँ जमा की जा सकती हैं।

प्रश्न 2.
टिकट-अलबम का शौक रखने के राजप्पा और नागराजन के तरीके में क्या फर्क है? तुम अपने शौक के लिए कौन-सा तरीका अपनाओगे?
उत्तर
अलबम के लिए टिकट एकत्रित करने में दोनों के तरीकों में फ़र्क है कि नागराजन को यह अलबम अपने मामा से मिला था जबकि राजप्पा ने अपने अलबम के टिकटों को मधुमक्खी की तरह परिश्रम से एकत्रित किया था। उसे एक-एक टिकट लेने के लिए कई बार मीलों चलना पड़ता था। एक बार तो अपने एक मित्र के घर से कनाड़ा का टिकट लेने के लिए उसे चार मील तक चलना पड़ा था। मैं अपने शौक को पूरा करने के लिए राजप्पा का तरीका ही अपनाना चाहूँगा। परिश्रम करके राजप्पा की तरह एक-एक दुर्लभ टिकट इकट्ठा करना चाहूँगा। मैं अपने टिकट के लिए किसी को मूर्ख नहीं बनाऊँगा न ही चोरी करने की बात सोचूंगा।

प्रश्न 3.
इकट्ठा किए हुए टिकटों का अलग-अलग तरह से वर्गीकरण किया जा सकता है, जैसे-देश के आधार पर। ऐसे और आधार सोचकर लिखो।
उत्तर
एकत्रित किए गए टिकट उनके मूल्य के आधार पर, उनके आकार के आधार पर, उनके समय (सन्) के आधार पर वर्गीकृत किए जा सकते हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त महापुरु षों के आधार पर, सामाजिक समस्याओं के आधार पर, ऐतिहासिक घटना क्रम के आधार पर, स्वतंत्रता संग्राम के आधार पर एवं पशु-पक्षियों के आधार पर भी वर्गीकृत किया जा सकता है।

प्रश्न 4.
कई लोग चीजें इकट्ठी करते हैं और ‘गिनीज बुक ऑफ वर्ल्ड रिकॉर्ड में अपना नाम दर्ज करवाते हैं। इसके पीछे उनकी क्या प्रेरणा होती होगी? सोचो और अपने दोस्तों से इस पर बातचीत करो।
उत्तर
अपनी ख्याति प्राप्त करने के लिए लोगों में चीजे इकट्ठा करने की शौक चरम सीमा तक पहुँच जाता है। वे कोई ऐसा काम करना चाहते हैं जिससे वे अपना नाम कमा सकें। अतएव यश प्राप्त करने और प्रसिद्धि पाने के लिए वे चीजें इकट्ठी कर ‘गिनीज बुक ऑफ वर्ल्ड रिकॉर्ड में अपना नाम दर्ज करवाते हैं।

अनुमान और कल्पना

प्रश्न 1.
राजप्पा अलबम जलाए जाने की बात नागराजन को क्यों नहीं कह पाता है? अगर वह कह देता तो क्या कहानी के अंत पर कुछ फर्क पड़ता? कैसे?
उत्तर
राजप्पा पुलिस द्वारा पकड़ लिए जाने के डर से नागराजन को नहीं बता पाता है कि उसको अलबम उसने जला दिया है। अगर वह बता देता तो कहानी का अंत कुछ और होता। संभव है नागराजन उससे लड़ पड़ता। उसके माता-पिता से इसकी शिकायत करता। राजप्पा को डाँट सुननी पड़ती। हो सकता है, नागराजन स्कूल में भी सबको बता देता और राजप्पो को शर्मिंदगी झेलनी पड़ती।

प्रश्न 2.
कक्षा के बाकी विद्यार्थी स्वयं अलबम क्यों नहीं बनाते थे? वे राजप्पा और नागराजन के अलबम के दर्शक मात्र क्यों रहे जाते हैं? अपने शिक्षक को बताओ।
उत्तर
कक्षा में बस एक राजप्पा ही था, जिसे टिकट इकट्ठा करने की धुन थी। वह एक-एक टिकट हासिल करने के लिए दोस्तों के घर के कई चक्कर लगाता था। उसका अलबम कक्षा में सबसे बड़ा था। अन्य विद्यार्थी इस काम में इतनी रुचि नहीं रखते थे। उन्होंने इसके लिए कभी प्रयास भी नहीं किया, इसलिए उनके पास टिकटों का इतना बड़ा संग्रह नहीं था। यही कारण है कि वे सब बड़े मन से राजप्पा का अलबम देखा करते थे। बाद में नागराजन को उसके मामा से एक बना बनाया अलबम मिल गया, जो राजप्पा के अलबम से अधिक सुंदर था। यद्यपि नागराजन को इसमें कोई योगदान नहीं था, फिर भी उस अलबम की सुंदरता के कारण लड़के उसके दर्शक हो गए थे।

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Social Science Civics Chapter 3 What is Government?

NCERT TEXTBOOK QUESTIONS (Page 34)

Question 1.
What do you understand by the word ‘government’? List five ways in which you think the government affects your daily life.
Answer:
The government affects our daily lives in the following ways:

1. It protects our boundaries and maintains peaceful relations with other countries.
2. Everyone should get enough to eat and there is no food shortage.
3. Looks after the health of the people.
4. If there is a natural disaster like Tsunami or an earthquake, it is the government that mainly organizes aid and assistance for the affected people.
5. If there is a dispute or a crime, the courts will provide justice.

Question 2.
Why do you think the government needs to make rules for everyone in the form of laws?
Answer:
The government needs laws to maintain peace and order in society. Law establishes justice. It is mending to achieve constitutional ideas i.e. equality and right against discrimination. Law makes it compulsory for people to obey it.

Question 3.
Name two essential features of a democratic government.
Answer:
The two essential features of a democratic government are :

1. The people, in a democracy, give the powers to the government. They do this through elections, in which they vote for a particular person and elect them. Once elected they form the government.
2. In the democratic form of government, it has to explain its actions and decisions to the people.

Question 4.
What was the suffrage movement? What did it accomplish?
Answer:
The movement for voting rights for women was called the suffrage movement. It accomplished the right to vote for women all over the world.

Question 5.
Gandhiji strongly believed that every adult in India should be given the right to vote. However, a few people don’t share his views. They feel that illiterate people, who are mainly poor, should not be given the right to vote. What do you think? Do you think this would be a form of discrimination? Give five points to support your view and share these with the class.
Answer:
(1) India won independence, due to the participation of. all people. The nationalist movement had become a mass movement. So poor and illiterate should be given the right to vote.

(2) The poor and illiterate people had been neglected for so long under British rule. Now, after independence, they should be given equal opportunities to develop and improve their condition.

(3) Democracy is based on the idea of equality. In India, the majority of the people were poor and illiterate at the time of independence. If they are denied the right to vote, that means it will be a minority rule, because only a small portion of the population will get the right to vote.

(4) Since ancient times, the villages in India were managed by the villagers themselves. The system in the villages was never changed. It was their experience that helped them to rule. So the poor and illiterate people can decide for whom to vote.

(5) At the Karachi session of the Congress Party in 1931, it had announced that Fundamental Rights will be enjoyed by all. It includes the right to equality. No discrimination will be made on any basis.

Can you believe that there was a time when governments did not allow women and the poor to participate in elections?
Answer:
We believe that there was a time when women and the poor were not allowed to participate in elections:

• In the earliest times, only land-owning or property-owning men could participate in the elections.
• Only educated persons (men only) could participate in voting.
• It means that the women, the poor, the uneducated, and the property fewer people were not allowed to vote.

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Social Science History Chapter 10 Traders, Kings and Pilgrims

NCERT TEXTBOOK EXERCISES (Pages 109-110)

LET’S RECALL

Question 1.
Match the following:

Answer:

 Question 2.
Why did kings want to control the Silk Route?
Answer:
The kings wanted to control the silk route because they? would benefit from the taxes, tributes, and gifts that were brought by traders travelling along the route.

Question 3.
What kinds of evidence do historians use to find out about trade and trade routes?
Answer:
The historians use the following evidence to find out about trade and trade routes:
1. Archaeologists have collected information about the Northern Black Polished Ware. They have provided information about bowls and plates which were found from several sites throughout the subcontinent. They guess that traders might have been carried from the place where they were made, to other places.

2. Historians find evidence of the trade in Sangam poems (or literary works). Here is one example which describes the goods brought into Puhar an important port on the east coast:

• Swift prancing horses by the sea in ships
• bales of black pepper in carts
• gems and gold born in the Himalayas
• sandalwood born in the western hills
• the pearls of the southern seas
• corals from the eastern oceans
• the yield of the Ganga and the crops from the Kaveri
• foodstuffs from Sri Lanka
• pottery from Myanmar and other rare and rich imports.

3. Using different historical sources the historians tell us that south India was famous for gold, spices, especially pepper, and precious stones. Pepper was particularly valued in the Roman empire, so much so that it was known as black gold. So, Indian traders carried many of these goods in ships, across the sea, and in caravans, to Rome. Many Roman gold coins have been found in south India. These coins are considered great proofs of trade relations between ancient India and Roman empire.

4. Traders explored several sea routes along the coasts. Other routes passed across the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, where sailors took advantage of the monsoon winds to cross the seas more quickly. So, if they desired to reach the western coast of the subcontinent from East Africa or Arabia, they chose to sail with the southwest monsoon.

1. Bhakti emphasised devotion and individual worship of a god or goddess rather than the performance of elaborate sacrifices.
