The creation and circulation of ideas about India
The writings of European travellers helped produce an image of India for

Europeans through the printing and circulation of their books. Later,
after 1750, when Indians like Shaikh Itisamuddin and Mirza Abu Talib
visited Europe and confronted this image that Europeans had of their
society, they tried to influence it by producing their own version of
matters and described India as a great nation.

32. Read the given source carefully and answer the questions that
follow : 1+1+2=4
We say that it is our firm and solemn resolve to have an independent
sovereign republic. India is bound to be sovereign, it is bound to be
independent and it is bound to be a republic … Now, some friends have
raised the question : “Why have you not put in the word ‘democratic’
here. ?” Well, I told them that it is conceivable, of course, that a republic
may not be democratic but the whole of our past is witness to this fact
that we stand for democratic institutions. Obviously we are aiming at
democracy and nothing less than a democracy. What form of democracy,
what shape it might take is another matter. The democracies of the
present day, many of them in Europe and elsewhere, have played a great
part in the world’s progress. Yet it may be doubtful if those democracies
may not have to change their shape somewhat before long if they have to
remain completely democratic. We are not going just to copy, I hope, a
certain democratic procedure or an institution of a so-called democratic
country. We may improve upon it. In any event whatever system of
government we may establish here must fit in with the temper of our
people and be acceptable to them. We stand for democracy. It will be for
this House to determine what shape to give to that democracy, the fullest
democracy, I hope. The House will notice that in this Resolution,
although we have not used the word “democratic” because we thought it
is obvious that the word “republic” contains that word and we did not
want to use unnecessary words and redundant words, but we have done
something much more than using the word. We have given the content of
democracy in this Resolution and not only the content of democracy but
the content, if I may say so, of economic democracy in this Resolution.

Fatalists and materialists ?
Here is an excerpt from the Sutta Pitaka, describing a conversation
between King Ajatasattu, the ruler of Magadha, and the Buddha :
On one occasion King Ajatasattu visited the Buddha and described
what another teacher, named Makkhali Gosala, had told him :
“Though the wise should hope, by this virtue … by this penance I will
gain karma … and the fool should by the same means hope to gradually
rid himself of his karma, neither of them can do it. Pleasure and pain,
measured out as it were, cannot be altered in the course of samsara
(transmigration). It can neither be lessened or increased … just as a ball
of string will when thrown unwind to its full length, so fool and wise alike
will take their course and make an end of sorrow.”
And this is what a philosopher named Ajita Kesakambalin taught :
“There is no such thing, O king, as alms or sacrifice, or offerings …
there is no such thing as this world or the next …
A human being is made up of the four elements. When he dies the
earthy in him returns to the earth, the fluid to water, the heat to fire, the
windy to air, and his senses pass into space …
The talk of gifts is a doctrine of fools, an empty lie … fools and wise
alike are cut off and perish. They do not survive after death.”
The first teacher belonged to the tradition of the Ajivikas. They have
often been described as fatalists : those who believe that everything is
predetermined. The second teacher belonged to the tradition of the
Lokayatas, usually described as materialists. Texts from these traditions
have not survived, so we know about them only from the works of other
traditions.
(33.1) Analyse the views of Makkhali Gosala on karma. 1
(33.2) How did Ajita Kesakambalin describe the relations of human
beings with the four elements of nature. 1
(33.3) Differentiate between the views of a Fatalist and a Materialist in
reference to this source. 2

competency-based questions, please try to understand the given answer and even if the reply is
not from the marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks
should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers These are in the nature

that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark (√) wherever the answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ―x‖ be marked.

SECTION D
(Source-Based Questions) 3x4=12
31. Fatalists and materialists? Pg. 87 1+1+2

Here is an excerpt from the Sutta Pitaka, describing a conversation =4
―Though the wise should hope, by this virtue … by this penance I will
gain karma … and the fool should by the same means hope to
gradually rid himself of his karma, neither of them can do it. Pleasure
and pain, measured out as it were, cannot be altered in the course of
samsara(transmigration). It can neither be lessened or increased …
just as a ball of string will when thrown unwind to its full length, so
fool and wise alike will take their course and make an end of sorrow.‖
9|Page
―There is no such thing, O king, as alms or sacrifice, or offerings …
earthy in him returns to the earth, the fluid to water, the heat to fire,
thewindy to air, and his senses pass into space …
alike are cut off and perish. They do not survive after death.‖
often been described as fatalists : those who believe that everything
is predetermined. The second teacher belonged to the tradition of the
Lokayatas, usually described as materialists. Texts from these
traditions have not survived, so we know about them only from the
works of other traditions.
Views of Makkhali Gosala

Any one point to be explained

Human beings are made up of four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and
Air.
(31.3) Differentiate between the views of a Fatalist and a Materialist

in reference to this source. 2
Fatalist- All events and actions are predetermined

-Individuals are passive observers
Materialist-Universe as a system by nature

-Events and outcome are result of physical process
-Emphasis on material wellbeing
Any other relevant point
32 The creation and circulation of ideas about India Pg. 123 1+1+2
=4
The writings of European travellers helped produce an image of India
for Europeans through the printing and circulation of their books.
Later, after 1750, when Indians like Shaikh Itisamuddin and Mirza
Abu Talib visited Europe and confronted this image that Europeans
had of their society, they tried to influence it by producing their own
version of matters and described India as a great nation.
10 | P a g e
i. They produce their own version through writings
(32.2) Give any one example of a book authored by European writers

on Medieval India. 1
i. Travels in the Mughal Empire

(Any other relevant book)

i. The Europeans develop the idea of oriental despotism

whereas Mirza and Shaikh encouraged deeper understanding
of India.
ii. According to Karl Marx the surplus production in India was
appropriated by the state whereas Abu‘l Fazal describes the
land revenue as remuneration of sovereignty‖.
Any two points to be explained
33 We say that it is our firm and solemn resolve to have an independent Pg. 323 1+1+2
sovereign republic. India is bound to be sovereign, it is bound to be =4
Independent and it is bound to be a republic … Now, some friends
have raised the question: ―Why have you not put in the word
‗democratic‘ here?‖ Well, I told them that it is conceivable, of course,
that a republic may not be democratic but the whole of our past is
witness to this fact that we stand for democratic institutions.
Obviously we are aiming at democracy and nothing less than a
democracy. What form of democracy, what shape it might take is
another matter? The democracies of the present day, many of them
in Europe and elsewhere, have played a great part in the world‘s
progress. Yet it may be doubtful if those democracies may not have
to change their shape somewhat before long if they have to remain
completely democratic. We are not going just to copy, I hope, a
certain democratic procedure or an institution of a so-called
democratic country. We may improve upon it. In any event whatever
system of government we may establish here must fit in with the
temper of our people and be acceptable to them. We stand for
democracy. It will be for this House to determine what shape to give
to that democracy, the fullest democracy, I hope. The House will
notice that in this Resolution, although we have not used the word
―democratic‖ because we thought it is obvious that the word
―republic‖ contains that word and we did not want to use
unnecessary words and redundant words, but we have done
something much more than using the word. We have given the
content of democracy in this Resolution and not only the content of
democracy but the content, if I may say so, of economic democracy
in this Resolution.

Marking Scheme
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems which
may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid
mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand the spot
evaluation guidelines carefully.
2 ―Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the examinations

conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its‘ leakage to the public in any manner
could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and future of millions of
candidates. Sharing this policy/ document to anyone, publishing in any magazine and printing in
News Paper/ Website etc. may invite action under various rules of the Board and IPC.‖
done according to one‘s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating answers which are
based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for their
competency-based questions, please try to understand the given answer and even if the reply is
not from the marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due
marks should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers These are in the
nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students can have
their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded
accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on
the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the
Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation and
discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring
that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark (√) wherever the answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ―x‖ be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that answer
is correct and no marks are awarded. This is the most common mistake which evaluators are
committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded
for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written in the left-hand margin
and encircled. This may be followed strictly.
1|Page
11 A full scale of marks 80 (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question Paper) has
to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.
12 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every
day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in
other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).
13 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner in
the past:-
● Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the ―x‖ for incorrect
answers.)
15 Any un-assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totalling error detected
by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work
as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again reiterated
that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously
18 The candidates are entitled to obtain a photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of
the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are
once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value
points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.
