Why were the muslims mostly blamed for the 1857 war of independence? (7)
what are the drainage features of the northern and western mountains?

plz help :(

Q 1) muslims were blamed as british were the ones who had held them responsible for the war. they considered it as a muslim revolt. muslims were the ones who had been torchured and thier places had been replaced by the british so they were the ones most determined to remove the british from rule and once again establish muslim rule. so any sense of unity among the muslims had alarmed the hindus and sikhs. they did not participate in the war. and due to this muslims were not as powerful and coordinated. they were no match for the brish and hence they lost the war. and after this they were treated very badly
p.s) 7 mark question on this topic is really difficult

hit like if you like it

Bother, No way,:)
for 10 marks, at least 2 pages! best wud be 2 and half for 10 mark.. and about half or a bit more for 4 but never more than 1 page. Try getting in as many FACTS as possible, no stories.. and at the end its Quality not Quantity that counts more..! and as per the specimen paper, there is a space of 2- 2.5 pages after every question. So if u stick to topic, InshAllah u willl have no problem in giving a brilliant answer within space, and dnt write after the lines given, the examiner doest read that! if u think the space is running out super-ssquueezzeee the writing!:D

for example, quoting from ''FAQ 2011 onwards 2058''
''Q: How will marks be awarded for Question 1 in Paper 1?
A: The method of marking asks examiners not to look for individual points but for the overall quality of an answer. That is the difference between levels and points marking. So the candidate should not think of making 4 points in order to gain 4 marks, but of showing deep knowledge and understanding about the passage, firstly concerning the main theme it contains, and secondly concerning the special way it expresses that theme.''

hope i cud help!:) share any other doubts u have.. :)

Thanks a lot Ella! :D

I saw the specimen paper too and it gives 1 and a half page front and back for part a (ie 10 marks question) and the other half page for part b (ie 4 marks question) so we need to stick to this limit. Man why did CIE introduce this new system of "lines" and not the usual "Answer Booklet" system! :( I have the habit of writing more and 2 pages is simply not enough! We can't even attach extra sheets like before!

Well I have another idea. You see, in both papers, we have to attempt only 4 questions out of 5 right? And even in the specimen paper lines are provided for all questions. So if we run out of space can't we use the space given for the extra question? Or can we use the Blank pages? Is it allowed?

And super squeezing? Lol sure! :p

Thanks again friend! :)

I have the same problem, because i write a lotta stories and poems etc.. so having a word limit is torture *gasp* But i guess CIE did this so we can.. eh.. GROOM our flowing writing skillz! :p I think they point they see is that the less space we have, the more we will think and plan our answer.. which, i think, is working! :D

the idea is a gud one.. '' Desperate times need desperate measures'' :D but i wudnt recommend being oversmart with the Examiner, he might not find it funny and simply ignore whtaever we wrote in the extra/blank page! *meanies* But wat can we do :cry: so better is, practice the SquueeeZZinG :D :D for the writing and the story! :)

No problem buddy! Do post any doubt u have, at your servive! :D All the best! :)
