Harappa and Mohenjo-daro- Indus Valley Civilization part 5

 As we read in part 3 and part 2 that there are two main cities in the Indus Valley Civilization. They were Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. If you want to read about them then you can either click the blue colored 'part 2' and blue colored 'part 3' in the staring of the article or visit our page on of the article whose name is Indus Valley Civilization.

The Indus civilization is known to have consisted of two large cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, and more than 100 towns and villages, which were often small size when compared to Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. It is estimated that originally these were just 1.16 km square in overall dimensions and then they became large in size. 

Their outstanding magnitude suggests political centralization, either in two large states or in a single great empire with alternative capitals, a practice having analogies in Indian history. 

(Analogy= a comparison of two unlike things whose comparison is based on the same aspect.

Eg- Here in this article Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa are two unlike thing but they are being compared and told about on the basis of Indus Valley Civilization.)

 It is also possible that Harappa succeeded/won Mohenjo-daro, which is known to have been devastated more than once by exceptional floods. The southern region of the civilization, on the Kathiawar Peninsula and beyond, seems to have originated after the main Indus Valley Civilization (near river Indus, consisting of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa).

The civilization was literate, and its script, with some 250 to 500 characters, has been partly and tentatively deciphered; the language has been indefinitely identified as Dravidian.

So let's conclude the article-

1. Mohenjo-daro and Harappa were the two main cities in Indus Valley Civilization with around 100 more towns and villages.

2. They were  political centralized, either in two large states or in a single great empire with alternative capitals

3. The Kathiawad Peninsula (southern part of Indus Valley Civilization) was originated in the civilization later.

4. The civilization was literate and its script contained 250-500 characters, it is estimated to be an Dravidian language.

'Does India have an official language?' Constitution of India part 8

 So, you may know that many countries have a state religion or an official religion. For example Monaco is a Christian country and it's state/official religion is Christian, Thailand is a Buddhist nation and it's state/official religion is Buddhism. So have you ever thought does India have a state or an official religion? If you are searching for this answer then you have visited the correct place.

India is a secular nation, means India doesn't really have a state/official religion. India shows equal respect to all religions. Article 25 of the Constitution guarantees 'Right to Freedom of Religion'. 

This means that any India citizen has a right for changing or choosing his religion. So Indian People are free to choose or practice any religion. People of India belong to different religions including Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Islam and several other small religions.

So let me conclude it for you-

1. State/official religion of a country is a religion accepted by the country.

2. Indian Constitution in it's Article 25 given 'Right to Freedom of Religion'.

3. That's why in India you can practice any religion of your choice.    

4. That why India is called a secular nation.

Sutkagen Dor, Ropar and Cambay- Indus Valley Civilization part 4

Hello friends in this article we are going to read about Sutkagen Dor, Ropar and Cambay.

After Indus Valley Civilization was designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, remains of Indus Valley Civilization were found in Sutkagen Dor in southwestern Balochistan province of Pakistan, near the shore of the Arabian Sea, about 300 miles (480 km) west of Karachi. It is estimated that the city was trading post or port, which supported the trade with Persian port. The uplands of Baluchistan, show clear evidence of trade and contact with the Indus civilization, but appear to have remained outside the direct Harappan rule.

There were also ruins of this ancient civilization in Rupar/Ropar in eastern Punjab of North-western India. The town lies on the Sutlej River near the head of the great Sirhind Canal, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Chandigarh.

Later exploration established its existence southward down the west coast of India as far as the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay), 500 miles (800 km) southeast of Karachi, and as far east as the Yamuna (Jumna) River basin, 30 miles (50 km) north of Delhi. The Gulf of Cambay is located in Gujrat, between Mumbai and Kathiawad Peninsula. The gulf receives many rivers, including the Sabarmati, Mahi, Narmada (Narbada), and Tapti.

So, to conclude the article let me summarize everything for you-

1. Sutkagen Dor and Ropar are some of the important places where there the ruins of Indus Valley Civilization are found. 

2. Sutkagen Dor is located in Balochistan near shore of Arabian Sea, and Ropar is located in Punjab near Sutlej River.

3. Gulf of Khambhat/Cambay is located in Gujrat and Sabarmati, Narmada, Mahi and Tapti are rivers passing from Gulf of Cambay.

‘Who is known as the chief architect of the Indian Constitution?’ Constitution of India part 4

 So guys we are back with our Constitution of India series.

 

So, as we read in the last part that the Constitution of India was drafted by the Drafting Committee. But who can we say the chief architect of our Indian Constitution?

Dr. BR Ambedkar played a very significant amount in drafting the Constitution, and that’s why he is the chief architect of our Indian Constitution. While serving as the Law and Justice Minister, Ambedkar was appointed as the Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee. He was already a renowned social reformer with a keen sense of law and justice.

With the knowledge of the Constitution of 60 countries, he was a constitution expert too. Now after having this much knowledge of the Constitution, law and justice there is no wonder in asking him to draft the Constitution of India by the Constituent Assembly.

The draft which was prepared by Ambedkar talked about a range of civil liberties and constitutional guarantees. Dr. BR Ambedkar is also called the father of Indian Constitution. The original document of the Constitution of India was handwritten by Prem Behari Narain Raizada. It was written in beautifully written in the beautiful calligraphy, in a flowing italic style. Each page was decorated by artists from Shantiniketan.

NCERT Civics Solutions- Class 7 (Chapter 1) Part 6

Hello friends in this article we are going to continue the Civics solutions series. For the previous part click here. But in this article you will read questions from book, which are large and can come in exam.

1. Write a note on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Answer: 

The Civil Rights Act was passed in the year 1964. The Act prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin in USA. It also stated that all schools would be open to Americans and African-American children. This started from a lady named Rosa Parks, when she was returning from her work in a bus, she was asked by an American for seat. But Rosa Parks denied, and after this she was arrested. This happened on Dec/1/1955.

 

2. What are the provisions made in the constitution for the recognition of equality?   

Answer:

The provisions made in the constitution for the recognition of equality are as follow:

(a) Every person is equal before the law. What this means is that every person, from the President of India to a domestic, has to obey the same laws.

(b) No person can be discriminated on the basis of their religion, caste, race place of birth or whether they are male or female.

(c) Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds, hotels, shops and markets. All persons can use publicly available wells, roads and bathing ghats.

(d) Untouchability has been abolished.

 

3. How can you say that establishment of equality in society is a continuous struggle?

Answer:

             Besides the efforts taken by government to reduce inequality in society, and the laws passed by government people are still discriminated on the name of religion, caste, gender, etc. The reason behind this is that people don’t think that everyone should be treated equally, besides of that the laws are in favor of equality.

           This attitude of the people is so deep, that it cannot change all of a sudden. It will take time. Even though people are aware that discrimination is against the law, they continue to treat others unequally on the basis of caste, religion, gender, economic background, disability, etc.

 If the society beliefs that everyone should get equal opportunities and should get respect, then only the inequality would reduce, this will take time as the thinking for the people is very deep rooted.

This was the last part of the NCERT Solutions for Civics chapter one, we will make a blog on Links for the parts for it.

 4. What do you understand by the term 'all persons are equal before the law?' Why do you think it is important in a democracy?

Answer: 

It means that every person, from the President of the country to a domestic worker like Kanta has to obey the same laws. No person can be discriminated against on the basis of their religion, race, caste, etc. Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds, hotels, shops and markets. All people can use publicly available wells, roads and bathing ghats.
Equality is the soul of democracy. We know that democracy is a form of government which gives equal importance and recognition to all. If inequalities on the basis of race, religion, caste, etc. continue to exist, democracy would never flourish. Instead, it would perish very soon.

====================

5. According to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, persons with disabilities have equal rights, and that the government should make possible their full participation in society. The government has to provide free education and integrate children with disabilities into mainstream schools. This law also states that all public places including buildings, schools, etc., should be accessible and provided with ramps.

Look at the photograph and think about the boy who is being carried down the stairs. Do you think the above law is being implemented in his case? What needs to be done to make the building more accessible for him? How would his being carried down the stairs affect his dignity as well as his safety?

 

Answer- 

The boy in the photograph is disabled. As per the law this building should have been accessible for him, but the law is not being implemented in this case. He is being carried down by security personals through stairs. This building does not provide ramps. The boy’s dignity is overlooked here. He may morally feel inferior. The way he is carried down the stars may prove dangerous. Law can this case to the court.
