ii) Second Anglo – Maratha War

iii) Govind Guru

Answer: The causes for the Peasant’s Movements in Rajasthan are:

  • Due to the influence of the Britishers, the rulers did not pay attention to their subjects. The rulers and the jagirdars assumed that their mere existence depended on the British rule. Therefore, the dependence of the rulers on the jagirdars and the dependence of the jagirdars on the farmers continued to weaken.
  • In addation to collecting excessive revenue, the Begar and Lagaan taken from farmers was increasing significantly. In some states, the number of such taxes was even more than 300.
  • In this period, the number of agricultural labourers increased significantly as many people depended on agriculture after being displaced from other occupations. Due to this increase in number of agricultural labourers, the jagirdars started acting more arrogantly.
  • The swing out in agricultural prices was not beneficial for the farmers. Due to decline in prices the savings of the farmers were reduced, whereas, in case of increase in prices, they could not get any profit because the jagirdars used to collect land revenue from them in the form of commodities.
  • After adopting the British administration system, the kind and paternal outlook of the jagirdars towards the farmers changed.

Bijolia Peasant Movement (Bhilwara) – Bijolia Peasant Movement was the pioneer of other peasant movements of Rajasthan. Most of the farmers of this region were from Dhakar caste. In 1894 AD, till the time of death of Rao Govind Das of Bijolia, the farmers were not in extreme opposition ofJagirdars. But in 1894AD, the newly appointed jagirdar Krishna Singh (Kishan Singh) introduced several changes in the thikana (estate) and jagir (ancestral) policies. In his time, around 87 per cent of the income of the farmers was taken away by the jagirdars through 84, taxes and revenues. Even after this, they were forced to do additonal begar.

Begoon Peasant Movement (Chlttorgarh) – Inspired by the Bijolia Peasant Movement,, the farmers of Be goon estate too started a movement in 1921 AD, because the residents of that region were also suffering from excessive land revenue and the atrocities of other sub taxes. Just like the Bijolia farmers, most of the farmers of Be goon estate were from Dhakar caste. They were suffering from the vicious circle of various inputs, begar, high rate of land revenue and the atrocities of the estate. After sustained efforts of the members of Rajasthan Sewa Sangh, Vijay Singh Pathik, Ramnarayan Chaudhary and Manikyalal Verma, the farmers were inspired and war awakened.

Answer i: First Anglo – Maratha War: Clashes took place between the Britishers and Marathas from 1775 AD to 1782 AD. In this struggle, the British army was defeated by the united Maratha army, and they had to sign the humiliating Treaty of Badgaon in 1779 AD. According to which the Britishers were to give back the regions they had won previously from the Marathas and hand over Raghunath Rao to the Pune court. Besides, they had to pay Rs 41,000 as war damages.

Answer ii: Second Anglo – Maratha War: This struggle continued from 1802 to 1805 AD. The reason of this clash was the imperialistic ambitions of Lord Wellesley and the mutual conflict between Maratha chiefs. In this struggle, the Maratha chiefs fought independently against the Britishers and were defeated. Bhonsle struggled in South India (Bharat) and after being defeated in the Battle of Amargaon in 1803 AD, Treaty of Deogaon was signed with the Britishers on 17th December 1803 AD. Sindhia was defeated in the Battle of Lalwadi and the Treaty of Surji­Anjangaon was signed on 30th December 1803 AD. The struggle which took place between the Holkars and the Britishers remained indecisive and the Treaty of Raj ghat inked between both the parties in 1806 AD, according to it the Holkars gave up their right of the Northern region of river Chambal and promised not to interfere in the internal matters of Rajputana.

Answer iii: Govind Guru – He was the son of Guru Tegh Bahadur. He was the tenth and last guru of Sikhs. He developed training centres for training of arms and armaments to oppose atrocities of Aurangzeb in Punjab. Through this, the Sikh society became strong and capable. He defeated the Subedar of Lahore in the battle of adaun. He established the Khalsa order in 1699 AD to organize the Sikhs, remove their evils and inspire them with a renewed vigour and vitality.

A new practice of Panch Pyarey, Pahul (Chamamrit) and Amrit Chakha ( consumption of sweetened water) was started by the five sacrificing devotees. It was mandatory for Khalsa Sikhs to keep five “Kakaras”, i.e. Kada, Kesh, Kutch, Kripan and Kangha. Due to the possibility of war with Aurungzeb, he opened a military centre in Anandpur Sahib in 1699 AD. Guru Gobind Singh continued to reform the Sikhs by keeping the ideal of religious freedom and national unity as his priority. Due to Mughal invasion in 1705 AD, he had to leave Anandpur. Both his sons named Jorawar Singh and Fateh Singh were imprisoned and buried alive in the walls of Sar hind fort as they had refused to convert their religion.

His other two sons named Ajit Singh and Junjhar Singh became martyrs in the battle of Chamkor. In the struggle ofKhudrana, forty Sikhs received martyrdom. They were called “Mukta” and the place became famous as “Muktasar”. Finally, Guru Gobind Singh reached Talwandi from Anandpur where he remained busy in composing literary works for one year. When he was going to visit Aurangzeb’s court on his invitation, he got the news of Aurangzeb’s death. GuruGobindSingh died on 1st October, 1708AD.

  • If emergency is to be applicable for more 1 month, then this type of proposal should be approved by both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha with their special majority separately.

6. Special Powers – Rajya Sabha holds two other powers also, which are not with Lok Sabha and these can be exercised only by Rajya Sabha. This kind of power belongs to the federal structure of the country, and Rajya Sabha, being sole representative of the states, has following kinds of powers:

And still after the first meeting, he can send messages to the legislature. The approval of the Governor is essential on the bill passed by the state assembly. He can reject the bill, or can return the bill to the legislature for reconsideration, if the legislature passes the bill for a second time, then the Governor is compelled to give his approval. He can put aside some bills reserved for the consideration of the President. If the state Legislative Assembly is not in session then the Governor can issue the ordinance. The ordinance will be recognised as the same act as the act passed by the state legislature. This ordinance is applicable for only six weeks after the commencement of the next sitting of the state legislature.
