NCERT Solution Class 10 - Social Science - CH3 : Democracy and Diversity

Democracy and Diversity

NCERT Chapter Solutions for CBSE Class 10 Political Science  

Q1: Some Dalit groups decided to participate in the UN Conference against racism in Durban in 2001, demanding the inclusion of caste in the agenda of this conference. Here are three reactions to this move:

Amandeep Kaur (a government official): Our Constitution declares caste discrimination to be illegal. If some caste discrimination continues, it is an internal matter. I am opposed to this being raised in an international forum. 

Oinam (a sociologist) : I am opposed to this because caste and race are not similar divisions. Caste is social division, while race is a biological one. Raising caste in this conference on racism would mean equating the two.

Ashok (a Dalit activist) : The argument about internal matter is  a way of preventing open discussion of oppression and discrimination. Race is not purely biological. It is as much a legal and sociological category as caste. Caste discrimination must be raised in this conference.

Which of the three opinions do you agree with most and why?

Answer: I agree with Ashok's views. We should not prevent people from an open discussion of oppression and discrimination just for the sake of internal state matter. We can't discriminate people and divide them based on intellectual grounds. We can't be a democratic nation and a free society, if there is oppression and discrimination in our society. Open debates is one of the indicator of a democratic society which values equality.


Q2: I met this group of girls from Pakistan and felt that I had more in common with them than many girls from other parts of my own country. Is this anti-national to feel so?

Answer: No. It is not anti-national to feel so.  It is quite common that people belong to different regions or nations can have common liking and interests. For example, the girls from Pakistan may like Hollywood movies, south Indian food and Thai food like any other girl from India.


Q3: A Cartoon like  this can be read by different people to mean different things. What does this  cartoon mean to you? How do other students in your class read this?

Answer: The giant in the cartoon is going to cut his black colour hand which is different from his other white hand. His small head reflects that he fails to realize that this stupid act would cripple him for life. It definitely reflects how a narrow minded society can harm itself by keeping a biased discrimination among its own people.
Other students in my class may have different opinions or perspectives.


Q3: Read these three poems by Dalit writers. Why do you think the poster is titled ‘Hidden Apartheid’?

Answer: These poems reflect that atrocities on Dalits and discrimination based on caste still exist in one way or other despite having laws to check such exploits.

Q1:	Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the sentences that follow: Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why a killer whale population off the northwest coast of the United States is on the decline. He searches for whale faeces floating on the surface of the water, which are them collected for examination. He is one of the elite team of detection dogs used by scientists studying a number of species including right whales and killer whales. Conservation Canines are fast becoming indispensable tools for biologists according to Aimee Hurt, associate director and co-founder of Working Dogs for Conservation, based in Three Forks, Montana. Over the last few years, though, so many new conservation dog projects have sprung up that Hurt can no longer keep track of them all. Her organization’s dogs and their handlers are fully booked to assist field researchers into 2012. “Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell,” explained Sam Wasser, director of the Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has worked with scat-detection dogs since 1997. Scientists have been using Conservation Canines in their research since 1997. These dogs have enabled them to non-invasively access vast amount of genetic and physiological information which is used to tackle conservation problems around the world. Such information has proved vital for determining the causes and consequences of human disturbances on wildlife as well as the actions needed to mitigate such impacts. The ideal detection dog is extremely energetic with an excessive play drive. These dogs will happily work all day long, motivated by the expectation of a ball game as reward for sample detection. The obsessive, high energy personalities of detection dogs also make them difficult to maintain as pets. As a result, they frequently find themselves abandoned to animal shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs and offers them a satisfying career in conversation research. (a) According to the text there are a few ................detection dogs like Tucker. (b) Tucker sniffs for whale................ . (c) The dogs are special because they assist in research without ........... . (d) The ideal detection dog ........... . (e) The dogs expect ............... as a reward of their hardwork. (f) ............ of these dogs make it difficult to keep them as pets. (g) These dogs find a career in ............ .
