Class 12th Political Science - Board Papers All India - 2018

Answer :

Chipko movement was one such movement that empowered the status of women.

The Chipko movement began in two or three villages of Uttarakhand on the refusal of permission to villages to fell ash trees for making agricultural tools and allotted the same land to
sports manufacturers for commercial uses.

Impact of movement: Active participation of women was also a very novel aspect of the movement.

Similarly, there was Anti-arrack movement of rural women from Andhra Pradesh to fight against alcoholism, mafias, and government during these periods.

Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow :

Movements are not only about collective assertions or only about rallies and protests.

They involve a gradual process of coming together of people with similar problems,

similar demands, and similar expectations. But then movements are also about making

people aware of their rights and the expectations that they can have from democratic

institutions. Social movements in India have been involved in these educative tasks

for a long time and have thus contributed to the expansion of democracy rather than

causing disruptions.

(i) Mention any one right granted to the people of India as a result of any movement.

(ii) How far do you agree that social movements have contributed to the expansion of democracy rather than causing disruptions?
