उत्तर-
आज़ादी के बाद उद्योग-धंधों, नौकरियों, तबादलों (स्थानांतरण) के कारण लोगों का एक प्रदेश से दूसरे प्रदेश में जाने से मिश्रित व्यंजन संस्कृति का विकास हुआ। उसके कारण भी खानपान की चीजें किसी एक प्रदेश से दूसरे प्रदेश में पहुँची हैं।

उत्तर-
खानपान संस्कृति का राष्ट्रीय एकता में महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान है। खाने-पीने के व्यंजनों का प्रभाव एक प्रदेश से दूसरे प्रदेश में बढ़ता जा रहा है। उदाहरण के तौर पर उत्तर भारत के व्यंजन दक्षिण व दक्षिण के व्यंजन उत्तर भारत में अब काफ़ी प्रचलित हैं। इससे लोगों के मेलजोल भी बढ़ता जा रहा है जिससे राष्ट्रीय एकता को बढ़ावा मिलता है।

(ग) स्थानीय व्यंजनों का पुनरुद्धार क्यों ज़रूरी है?
उत्तर-
स्थानीय व्यंजन किसी न किसी स्थान विशेष से जुड़े हैं। वे हमारी संस्कृति की धरोहर हैं। उनसे हमारी पसंद, रुचि और पहचान होती है। इसलिए भारतीय व्यंजनों का पुनरुद्धार आवश्यक है क्योंकि पश्चिमी प्रभाव के कारण अपना अस्तित्व खोते जा रहे हैं। अतः इनको पुनः प्रचलित करने की आवश्यकता है।

(c) The climate of the Ladakh desert is extremely cold and dry due to its high attitude which varies from about 3,000 m in Kargil to more than 8,000 m in the Karakoram. The air at this attitude is so then that the heat of the sun can be felt intensely. The day temperatures in summer are just above zero degree and the night temperatures are below -30°C. Winters are extremely cold with temperatures below -40°C for most of the time. There is very little rainfall in this region. It is as low as 10 cm every year. The area experiences freezing winds and burning hot sunlight. There is always a chance of sunstroke and frostbite at the same time.

3. Match the following: 

4. Give reasons:

1. There is scanty vegetation in the deserts.
2. People of the Sahara desert wear heavy robes.

Answer:

1. There is scanty vegetation in the deserts because of the following reasons:
   • Vegetation depends on two factors: climate and soil.
     • The climate in the deserts is either very hot and dry or very cold and dry.
       ★ Such a climate does not allow the growth of vegetation.
       ★ Rainfall is scanty. Hence vegetation does not grow in dry conditions.
     • Soil is either sandy (in hot deserts) or covered with snow (cold deserts) for most of the year. Both types of soil do not encourage vegetation to grow.
2. People of the Sahara Desert wear heavy robes because of the following reasons:
   • Robes of the people of Sahara Desert are made of hides (of animals) or hair of animals.
   • These robes are heavy:
     • They protect the people from the scorching sun and extreme heat (dust storms and hot winds).
     • They protect the people from dust storms and hot winds.

CHAPTER-10 CIVIC 
LAW AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

______________________________________

Question 1 What are the advantages to foreign companies in setting up production in India?
Solution:
India provides cheap labour compared to some other countries. Wages paid to workers in foreign countries are much higher than in India. For lower pay, foreign companies can get long hours of work. Additional expenses such as housing facilities for workers are also fewer in India. Thus, foreign companies can save costs and earn higher profits.

Question 2 Do you think the victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy got justice? Discuss.
Solution:
The victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy did not get justice. The disaster was caused due to gross neglect of safety measures by the management of the factory.

The government of India represented the people to legally claim compensation for the affected people. The government demanded $ 3 billion but had to accept a meager $ 470 million from the Company.
Today, 24 years after the disaster, people of Bhopal are still fighting for justice.

Question 3 What do we mean when we speak of law enforcement? Who is responsible for enforcement? Why is enforcement so important?
Solution:

1. When we speak of law enforcement, we mean that the provisions of the law must be applied to all and sundry without discrimination.
2. Government is responsible for law enforcement.
3. Rights of workers and citizens to be protected.
   • With more industries being set up by both Indians and foreign businesses, there is a greater need for stronger laws.
   • It is all the more important to safeguard our environment.

Question 4. How can laws ensure that markets work in a manner that is fair? Give two examples to support your answer.
Solution:
Law can ensure that markets work in a manner that is fair by ensuring the enforcement of the law in letter and spirit.

• Law against hoarding and black marketing must be enforced in such a way that stringent punishment is given to the violators of the law and the hoarded goods must be forfeited.
• Anti Child Labour Act must be enforced, not a single child must be allowed to work in shops, tea stalls, and restaurants.

Question 5 Write a paragraph on the various roles of the government that you have read about in this unit.
Solution:
The common man is exploited in most societies. When this happens it is the duty of the government to ensure that social justice prevails and all the citizens can establish their rights.

The government has passed many laws to guarantee that workers are not exploited by unscrupulous employers. Payment of Wages Act, 1936; Minimum Wages Act, 1948; Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 is some of the Acts that ensure that workers are not underpaid and exploited.

The government has passed the Factories Act, 1948. This Act regulates health, safety, welfare, and other working conditions of workers in factories. 

The Consumer Protection Act ensures that the consumer is not put to risk by the poor quality of products such as electrical appliances, food, and medicines. The Bureau of Indian Standards is a government organization that oversees the quality of products sold.

The government has also passed laws that ensure that essential products such as food grains, sugar, and kerosene are not highly-priced.

The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, was passed to protect the environment and avert health hazards to human beings.

The Trade Unions Act, 1926 provides for registration of trade unions with a view to render lawful organisation of labour to enable collective bargaining.

Question 6 How was the environment treated earlier? What has been the change in perception?
Solution:
In 1984, there were very few laws to protect the environment in India. These few laws were not enforced strictly by the government. Industries discharged their waste into water bodies and made it unfit for consumption. The air was polluted with smoke that bellowed from the factories.

This pollution proved to be a health hazard for the people. The Bhopal disaster brought the issue of environmental pollution into focus.

The existing laws did not protect the common man from industrial disasters. Environmental activists insisted on new laws which will protect all the citizens from hazardous pollution of the environment. 

According to the new laws imposed by the government the polluter will be held accountable for the damage done to the environment.

The Right to Life is a Fundamental Right under Article 21 of the Constitution and it includes the right to the enjoyment of pollution-free water and air for full enjoyment of life.
