Sadly you don't know the right way to answer the question.
You wrote too much details in first part. Yoy don't have enough time in real exam.
Your answer was of L2. Hardly at on place it touched L3 so rxaminer can give you max 5/7 if he is very generous
You explained the first reason but you failed to explain the rest of them. You only identifies reasons without explaining. LL4 was also achieved. So 9-14
could u give me some tips on how to answer in right way? plzzzzz ineed to know FAST!!!!!!

AND IS IT TRUE THAT U NEED TO WRITE a) INTRO...b)... 3 POINTS c)... CONCLUSION
Nibz culd u suggest me something?

Nibz culd u suggest me something?
i wrote it for someone else but just sending u so that u might correct urself. if u believe i am wrong, then please dont read it. atleast don't arue with me. hope it helps:


4 marks:
in simple words 4 facts are required. a line which has some fact is a simple statement and a line with two facts is a developed statement. u get 1 marks for each simple statement and 2 for each developed statement. if line has more than 2 facts, i.e has 4 facts in a single line, u will get only 2 as that is still developed statement. so write 5 lines with 1 fact in each or write 2 developed statements and a simple statement to keep ur self on a safer side. That would be marked as 4/4.

7 marks:
it has problem of levels. They say that answers are marked according to the level of answer not by points but actually they now want u to write each point of highest level.
level 1: is simple statement that as some relation with the question. they would give u a mark for atleast attempting.
level 2: is when u are able to identify a reason or wrote reasons as a list or each line has some reasons. it starts with 3 and and for each reason u get 1 more mark. when ur reasons reach a maximum of 3, no further marks are given. highest marks are l2/5.
level 3: is when u not just write reasons but also explain how it is related to the question. they start with l3/5 direct. like if u wrote a single reason and tell what is was u'll get 5/7. so for each mark u'll get 1 more mark and would reach a maximum of 7/7.
example: why mughal empire declined?
l1: because it was weak
l2: there were long and costly wars. there were successions and infights. the kings had extravagant life style.
l3: describes the reason first: long and costly wars such as deccan wars with marathas. then explain how it led to the decline of mughal empire: like extragant life style made empire bankrupt(empty treasury), successions led to infights and little attention was paid to the other enemies. the army declined. emperor remained away from capital. so this led to the decline of empire.

14 Marks Question:
it requires u that u write 7 reasons which are like those mentioned above as l3. but here l3 and l4 are written the same way. just say it is higher level of l3. then u say why is there l4. the reason is that there are always two sides in each 14 marks question. favour and against. so favour is l3 and against is l4. l3 starts with l3/7 and can go to 9 if u write 3 reasons in favour
and to 10 if u write 4. when u give other side that becomes l4 which can start from l4/10 or l4/11. so 7 reasons with three/four in favour and three/four in against would earn u 13. conclusion is l5 which means that give ur opinion. but they say that it must not have repetition or summary, but after giving opinion relate how that event is important for future events.

Can you answer these questions :

1. Why was Bengal partitioned?(7)
2. Was the partition of Bengal more important than its reversal? Give reasons for your answer.(14)

In the Morley-Minto reforms/Montford report do we have to learn exactly what they said? Like the seats of central Assembly were raised to 60 etc.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to keep on bothering you again but I'd be much obliged if you'd mark these questions?

2. Why was the Muslim league founded?(7)

ans. One of the reasons due to which the Muslim League was founded was the opposition by Hindus to the partition of Bengal. After partition Eastern Bengal had been formed with a Muslim majority giving the Muslims not only recognition but also an opportunity to escape from Hindu oppression. Therefore when the Hindus began organised towards the partition to Bengal the Muslims were greatly shocked. They feared that the British might give in to Hindu demands. Furthermore, Congress was predominantly Hindu and served Hindu interests, leaving the Muslims voiceless. Therefore the muslims formed their own political party which would represent views to the British and safeguard their rights.

Another important reason was the Muslim success at Simla . The Simla delegation and asked for seperate electorates and a higher percentage of the seats in the councils. This meant that the muslims now thought of themselves as a different community than the Hindus and also that they (the muslims) should be treated in a different way than the hindus. Furthermore their success at Simla also encouraged them. After this to have their own political party was but a step.

Perhaps the most important reason for the formation of the Muslim league, was their belief that despite the partition of Bengal and the success at Simla they still lacked the influence that the Hindus had gained through the Congress.It was only natural then that they should try to counter this influence by setting up their own political party. And so the All-India Muslim-League was formed in 1906.

Q.3 Of all the events between 1911-1919 was the Amritsar massacre the one that had the greatest impact on relations between the British and the Indian people? Give reasons for your answer.

ans. The Amritsar massacre took place in Jallingwala Bagh on 10 April 1919. In response to the Rowlatt act and the Montague -Chelmsford reasons a crowd of 20,000 people gathered for a peaceful protest. However the British commander in the area, General Dyer, was angered when the crowd turned up. Therefore he stationed his troops at the entrances of the Bagh and opened fire without warning. According to estimates around 400 people were killed with another 1200 hundred injured. As a result of this incident the relations between the Indians and the British suffered and were at an all-time low ebb. This was further worsened by the fact that Dyer was mainly unpunished.

However, this there were many other incidents too that greatly effected British-Indian relationship. These include the reversal of the partition of Bengal, the Lucknow pact, the Montague-Chelmsford reforms and the Rowlatt act.

Bengal had been partitioned in 1905 by the British. This had pleased the muslims but had also angered the Hindus who thought that the partition was part of the traditional British policy of 'Divide And Rule'. As a result they had arranged for organised resistance against the partition of Benagal. There were hundred of Protest meetings, many petitions were sent to the government, there was a boycott of british goods and even an assassination attempt on Lord Minto the viceroy. As a result the British reversed the partition. Due to this reversal the relations between the Muslims and the British suffered as the latter had proclaimed that the partition of Bengal was final.The muslims felt betrayed and it was for this reason that the muslim league called,for the first time, for self-rule.

The Lucknow pact took place in 1916 at lucknow at an annual session of the League and the Congress. In this pact the Congress made great concessions by agreeing to the seperate electorates for Muslims as well as one third reserved seats for them in the council. As a result the congress and league came closer and this pact marked the high-water unity between Muslims and Hindus.It was also the first time both the parties had made a joint demand to the British so it showed that both of them had realized that cooperation would help them achieve their goal. This increased the unity of India against the British.

After the war in 1918 the Montague-Chelmsford reforms were passed. They gave the Indian population more voice in the government but also ensured that the British mantained their grip on India as the viceroy could still pass any law he chose. These reforms also introduced a system of Diarchy at provincial level. Since many of the Indians had given their lives in the war they were expecting greater concessions and so they were bitterly disappointed. This further strained the relations between the British and the Muslims.

The rowlatt act was passed after the Montague-Chelmsford reforms in 1919. Jusice Rowlatt had been commissioned to check revolutionary activity in India. His report suggested that there was a definite growth in revolutionary activity and suggested that some of the Defence Of India Act should be permanantly retained. These included arrest without warrent, detention without bail and the right of the provincial government to order people where to live. These caused an uproar throughout Indai. Jinnah resigned as a member of the Imperial council and Gandhi launched a series of Hartals. The act significantly strained realtions among the the British and the Hindus and also led to the Amritsar massacre.

Thus it can be concluded that the Rowlatt act had the greatest impact on relations between the British and the Indians.
