I had a good exam but I have some doubts,
I had written 3-4 strong reasons for a 7 marks answer as well as many minor reasons along for almost all 7 marks questions.. can I expect 7/7
Secondly, there was less time for exam so in Round table conferences, i just missed one point of failure of 2nd rtc that the new british govt wasnt keen to grant concessions to Indians.. i just missed this point and the rest of all points i had covered.. how much should i expect out of 14?? (i also write conclusions at the end for Q1 (d) and the rest 14 marks Qs (one i attempted was work of sir syed & the other one of RTCs and i had derived a suitable & comprehensive conclusion of both)

In Q#1 source A it was so clear answer and resons were stated clearly in the source
- Mir Jaffar's help to British
- Advanced war tactics of British
- British covered canons in rain while Saraj ud Daulah's army didn't so they were defeated

for source B, i was a bit confused.. i think that the answer would be somehow like this:-
- EIC became supreme military & political power in subcontinet
- Its control extended alot
- Indians standing behind British EIC leader shown the Indan support to British
- British gained support of many nawabs
- Sign of prestige for EIC General as he was respected by Indians who stood aside him in respect
- and you could explain other features you could see in source B

(c) i think that was a question repeated from past paper.
you could refer to:-
- Industrial revolution granted British huge funds & military aid
- british superiority in weapon
- in plassey , seringapatam British were supported by Mir Jafir & Mir Sadiq. power hungry army cheifs lead to downfall of own army
- British were very good administrators
- Indians too weak to resist / lack of superiority in weapon
you could explain these points

(d) this was the easiest .. discuss reforms of British affecting Indians which they opposed (only be specific to westernization)
- Christian missionaries (forcible conversion to christanity)
- suttee banned
- purdha banned
- burning of baby daughters alive considered a murder & was banned
- english appointed as official language
- christian culture taught in schools
- administration language english (Indians got less jobs in CS)
- british western trade system
- indians considered as an inferior race
- british thought their culture was superior there fore introduced westernization

I wanted to add a few points within this Question the NEW Ideas such as Roads , railways and telegraph could also be written which alienated the people as well as the Co educational of Thomas babington. But the overall points are great and I was too confused in the B part but If you closer I could see a person waving the feather to a king or nawab and there was another problem it was a procession it could have been protest or it could have been a welcoming party :D

Thankx syntax,
I have added both of ur points in my answer but i forgot to post here and in conclusion I wrote that the work of christian missionaries had attracted most of criticism from Indians as they didnt want any interference in their religion.
& i m sure that it was a welcome party, not a protest as people stood peacefully, no scene of fight was shown so it clearly indicated of a positive image of EIC, not negative

AOA!
Ans- I agree with Statement B. If we develop renewable energy, it will not run out and it can solve the crisis for a long-term period. It is also cheap to develop as there is no expense for fuel, which is beneficial for an economy like Pakistan's. Pakistan has much potential of renewable energy, such as the Thatta-Badin wind corridor, and solar energy potential in southern Pakistan, where there are 250+ sunny days in a year. The maintenance costs of the renewable energy machinery, like solar panels, and HEP stations, is also low. They also do not produce greenhous gases and are environmentally friendly, and so are sustainable as they also help preserve the environment. On the other hand, thermal power stations need a lot of capital to be built and maintained. Fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas, will eventually run out as their reserves are being quickly used up. They also produce greenhouse gases, causing pollution and harm to environment. Natural gas and oil also have to be used in other places like transport etc, so there can be a shortage of fuel.

I think that's how you answer it, if I'm right. Hope it was useful to you. ;)
thanks it helped greatly!!

yeah you could mention that plassey & buxar extended british control & it is one of the major reasons but you could have described others reasons too such as british strengths in weapon & administration & weaknesses of Indians
dont be discouraged, i hope that if u have explained the reasons u have given then they may award you good marks but your answer could be made better by addition of more reasons, remember to atleast give 2-3 better to give 3 or more to gain 7/7
