It encouraged members of the INC and Indian nationalists to strive for complete independence.. . . We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. . . . India has been ruined economically. The revenue derived from our people is out of all proportion to our income. Our average income is seven pice (less than two pence) per day, and of the heavy taxes we pay 20 per cent. are raised from the land revenue derived from the peasantry and 3 per cent. from the salt tax, which falls most heavily on the poor. Village industries, such as hand-spinning, have been destroyed, leaving the peasantry idle for at least four months in the year, and dulling their intellect for want of handicrafts, and nothing has been substituted, as in other countries, for the crafts thus destroyed. Customs and currency have been so manipulated as to heap further burdens on the peasantry. British manufactured goods constitute the bulk of our imports. Customs duties betray clear partiality for British manufactures, and revenue from them is used not to lessen the burden on the masses but for sustaining a highly extravagant administration. Still more arbitrary has been the manipulation of the exchange ratio which has resulted in millions being drained away from the country. . . .Source: Jawaharlal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru: An Autobiography, John Lane the Bodley Head, 1939 from NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, January 2009.Document 8This passage was written by Mohandas Gandhi to help explain how India can become free.. . . EDITOR: Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering; it is the reverse of resistance by arms. When I refuse to do a thing that is repugnant [offensive] to my conscience, I use soul-force. For instance, the Government of the day has passed a law which is applicable to me. I do not like it. If by using violence I force the Government to repeal the law, I am employing what may be termed body-force. If I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soul-force. It involves sacrifice of self.Everybody admits that sacrifice of self is infinitely superior to sacrifice of others. Moreover, if this kind of force is used in a cause that is unjust, only the person using it suffers. He does not make others suffer for his mistakes. Men have before now done many things which were subsequently found to have been wrong. No man can claim that he is absolutely in the right or that a particular thing is wrong because he thinks so, but it is wrong for him so long as that is his deliberate judgment. It is therefore meet [proper] that he should not do that which he knows to be wrong, and suffer the consequence whatever it may be. This is the key to the use of soul-force. . . .Source: M. K. Gandhi, Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule, Navajivan Publishing House, 1946 from NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, January 2009.Document 9. . . Campaigns to reform discriminatory laws through nonviolent action—such as the civil rights movements in the United States—are one example of how human rights have been advanced through the use of nonviolent action. More significant, however, has been the remarkable upsurge [rise] in nonviolent insurrections [uprisings] against authoritarian regimes. Many of the individual revolts have received major media attention—such as those in China, the Philippines and Eastern Europe—and certain political consequences of these largely prodemocracy movements have been analyzed. However, there has been little recognition of the significance of the increasing utilization of nonviolent methods to affect change in nations where guerrilla warfare from below or gradualistic reform from above were once seen as the only alternatives. Despite the diffusion of nonviolence as a conscious strategy through movements around the world in recent decades, little is understood about how or why nonviolence works as a technique for securing social change. “Nonviolence” is not even a category in the mainstream academic lexicon [vocabulary]. . . . Source: Stephen Zunes, “Nonviolent Action and Human Rights,” Political Science and Politics, American Political Science Association, June 2000 ?from NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, January 2009.Document 7… More and more as years go by a feeling of unrest is growing in India. More and more as the people understand their place in the Empire is a spirit of discontent prevading [spreading throughout] its three hundred millions of inhabitants. And more and more as they realise that amid the differences of creed and caste is one basic nationality, does agitation spread and take the form of definite demands for the fulfilment of the solemn assurances of the British Government that they should be given the ordinary rights of British subjects. It is impossible that national aspirations can be for ever repressed, and equally impossible for India to remain a “dependency” in an Empire to which it contributes more than half the population.… Is it then surprising that the teeming millions of India should be dissatisfied with being ruled by a number of too-often self-sufficient and unsympathetic aliens, ignorant of the genius of the people? Not even the “mild” Hindu can bear this for ever.

But the moment of Gandhi’s greatest triumph, on August 15, 1947, was also the hour of his defeat. India gained freedom but lost unity when Britain granted independence on the same day it created the new Muslim state of Pakistan. Partition dishonored Gandhi’s sect-blind creed. “There is no message at all,” he said that day and turned to fasting and prayer.…Source: Johanna McGeary, “Mohandas Gandhi (1869–1948),” Time, December 31, 1999 from NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, January 2015.In his book Indian Home Rule, Gandhi asked the question, “Why do you want to drive away the English?” He replied with the following statement:. . . “Because India has become impoverished by their Government. They take away our money from year to year. The most important posts are reserved for themselves. We are kept in a state of slavery. They behave insolently [insultingly] towards us and disregard our feelings. . . .”Source: Mohandas Gandhi, Indian Home Rule, Navajivan Publishing, 1938, reprinted in 1946 (adapted) from the NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, June 2004.Partition8.

(2) Religious conflicts may have a strong influence on political events. (3) Industrialization needs to reach a high level before a nation can become independent. (4) Similar geographical and historical conditions may promote unity between nations. 47. Which was a major reason for the creation of the separate nations of India and Pakistan in 1947?(1) India was economically dependent on Great Britain, while Pakistan waseconomically self-sufficient. (2) The two nations favored vastly different forms of government. (3) The religious and cultural patterns of the two areas were in serious conflict.

Disputes over India's control of Kashmir, Jammu, and Punjab are examples of the continuing problem of(1) territorial claims based on religion (2) Chinese claims to this region (3) terrorist actions by Serbian refugees (4) the policy of nonalignment 85. In 1947, the subcontinent of India became independent and was divided into India and Pakistan. This division recognized the(1) rivalries between religious groups (2) strength of fascism in certain regions (3) natural geographic boundaries of the region (4) colonial boundaries established by the British 88.

Gandhi’s beliefs were based, in part, on ancient Hindu ideals. This may have added to the hatred and suspicion that had always existed between Hindus and Muslims. The Muslims were afraid that they would have no power in the new India. Although the Hindu leaders, including Gandhi, tried to reassure the Muslims, no agreement could be reached. The country was finally divided into two parts—the independent Muslim state of Pakistan and a predominately Hindu state—the Democratic Republic of India. . . .Source: Jean Bothwell, The First Book of India, Franklin Watts from the NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, August 2008.Document 8History’s Greatest Migration 4,000,000 People Cross the Punjab to Seek New Homes The mass migration and exchange of populations in the Punjab—Moslems moving west into Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhs trekking east into India—have now reached a scale unprecedented in history. Accurate statistics are impossible to obtain, but it is reasonable to estimate that no fewer than four million people are now on the move both ways. What this means in terms of human misery and hardship can be neither imagined nor described. Within the past few weeks the conditions over a wide area of Northern India, including the whole of the Indus Valley and part of the Gangetic Plain, have deteriorated steadily. It is no exaggeration to say that throughout the North-west Frontier Provinces, in the West Punjab, the East Punjab, and the Western part of the United Provinces the minority communities live in a state of insecurity often amounting to panic. Farther afield in the eastern parts of the United Provinces and to a less extent in Bihar and Bengal, much tension and friction prevail but there has hitherto been little movement of population. . . .Source: Guardian, Thursday, September 25, 1947 from the NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, August 2008.Document 9. . . And there were many [examples where untouchables were invisible during the partition]. In January 1948, two social workers, Sushila Nayyar and Anis Kidwai, went to visit Tihar village on the outskirts of Delhi. They had heard that a rich Hindu from Pakistan had left behind huge properties when he had moved, and had therefore, like many people, effected an exchange of property with a rich Muslim in Tihar to whom the land belonged. Each took the other’s property. But neither was obliged to carry on with the other’s business. The Hindu, therefore, threw out all previously employed workers from his newly acquired piece of property. Most of these were Muslims, but about a third were Harijans [untouchables]. The Muslims made their way to one or the other of the two Muslim camps that had been set up in the city. But for the Harijans, displaced in a war that was basically centred around Hindu and Muslim identities, there was nowhere to go. No camps to help them tide over the difficult time. No recourse to government— all too preoccupied at the moment with looking after the interests of Muslims and Hindus, no help from political leaders whose priorities were different at the time. . . .Source: Urvashi Butalia, The Other Side of Silence, Duke University Press, 2000 from the NYS Global History and Geography Regents Exam, August 2008.Indochina194. ?

Base your answer to the following question on the time line below and on your knowledge of social studies.Independence was achieved by most African and Asian nations during the period represented by letter(1) A (2) B (3) C (4) D99. The current political boundaries of African nations have been most influenced by(1) the topographic features of the continent (2) the patterns of European colonialism (3) traditional African language groups (4) the location of ancient African tribal kingdoms100.

The rise of independent states in Asia and Africa after World War II demonstrates the(1) failure of nationalist movements (2) influence of Socialism (3) success of United Nations peacekeeping forces (4) decline of European colonial empires 102. Since World War II, most African nations have experienced(1) increased isolation from other regions (2) increased political independence (3) decreased rates of urbanization (4) decreased population growth rates 103.
