Lencho, a hardworking farmer's deep faith in God compels his inner sense to write a letter to God asking 100 pesos at the time of his crop loss. The post office employees read the letter and helped him with 70 pesos but received a negative gratitude as'a bunch of crooks'.
Development can be understood in different ways by different people as they may have varying goals. While income is important, people also desire non-material goals around freedom, security, and respect. National development aims to improve standards of living across a population but must consider more than just income, and development goals and measures also vary between individuals and communities. Assessing development requires looking at multiple factors like health, education, and access to resources, rather than only economic measures like income which do not ensure things like clean environment and healthcare. Long term development also needs consideration of sustainability of resources and environment.
This document discusses key aspects of population in India including:
- Population size, distribution, and growth rates based on census data
- Characteristics like age composition, sex ratio, literacy rates, and occupational structure
- Important processes that influence population change like birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns
- Government policies aim to promote planned parenthood, education, healthcare, and delayed marriage to influence population growth.
The poem describes how the poet was in a bad mood while walking past a hemlock tree. A crow happened to shake snow dust from the hemlock tree onto the poet. Though crow and hemlock tree are usually associated with negative meanings, this small incident lifted the poet's mood and improved the rest of his day, which he had been regretting. The poem suggests that even inauspicious things in nature can unexpectedly bring joy and happiness.
Valliammai is an eight-year-old girl who is curious about the bus that travels between her village and the nearby town. During her first unsupervised bus ride, she is fascinated by the sights outside but becomes sad when she sees the same cow that amused her earlier lying dead on the road on her return trip. The bus journey provides both joyful experiences and an early exposure to the concept of death and loss for the young girl embarking on independent travel.
The poem describes a boy who loses his ball into the harbor. The boy is overcome with grief and stands rigidly staring at where his ball fell. The author does not want to intrude on the boy's sorrow, as no replacement ball or money could make up for losing the one with sentimental value. The boy is learning an important life lesson about loss and responsibility through this painful experience of how to cope with loss, a lesson every person must eventually learn.
Nelson Mandela was the first black President of South Africa who fought against apartheid. The chapter describes his inauguration ceremony in 1994, the first democratic election after the end of apartheid. It discusses Mandela's early life and involvement in fighting against apartheid, for which he was imprisoned for 27 years. The chapter pays tribute to other leaders of the anti-apartheid movement and remembers the sacrifices made by thousands of people to establish democracy in South Africa.
Power sharing involves distributing power among different government bodies and groups to prevent any single entity from wielding power exclusively. This document discusses power sharing in Belgium as a positive example and Sri Lanka as a negative example. Belgium amended its constitution four times to respect the interests of its Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities by giving powers to state governments and establishing a community government. In contrast, Sri Lanka's majoritarian system that dominated the Tamil minority led to civil war. Power sharing is desirable to reduce conflicts between groups and ensure political stability.

The document discusses the growth of nationalism in India and the non-cooperation movement led by Gandhi. It summarizes that British rule led to increased taxes, inflation, and famines during WWI, fueling Indian nationalism. Gandhi introduced satyagraha (non-violent resistance) and organized movements against oppressive British policies. The non-cooperation movement involved boycotts of British institutions and goods. It had widespread participation and effects but was called off after the Chauri Chaura incident of violence.
The poem describes how to identify different wild animals found in jungles through their unique features and behaviors. It discusses Asian Lions, Bengal Tigers, Leopards, Bears, Hyenas and Crocodiles. Each animal is introduced through vivid descriptions and warnings about their dangerous nature. For example, it notes that if an Asian Lion roars at you as you're dying, you'll know it attacked you. Similarly, it explains that Bengal Tigers can be identified by their black stripes on a yellow ground and may eat you if they greet you.

Bholi was a simpleton who contracted smallpox as a child, which left her with pockmarks all over her body, making her appear ugly. As a result, she was neglected from a young age, with no one speaking kindly to her or showing her love. When a new school opened in her village, Bholi's family decided to send her, thinking no one would marry her anyway. At school, Bholi received kindness from her teacher for the first time, who spoke to her softly and assured her she would help her speak fluently like the other students.
The document discusses several topics related to human resources and economic development. It defines human resources as the workforce that contributes to a country's productivity and economy. It also discusses that investment in education, training, and healthcare can boost human capital and economic growth. Educated parents are more likely to invest in their children's education, creating a virtuous cycle of improved human capital over generations. In contrast, lack of access to education among the uneducated can perpetuate a vicious cycle of lower human capital.
The poem describes a boy who loses his ball into a body of water. He is overcome with grief and stands staring helplessly at the water. While a new ball or money could replace the lost object, it would not replace the memories and feelings the boy had for that ball. The boy is learning an important life lesson - that losses are inevitable and one must find a way to accept them. The ball represents the possessions and relationships people hold dear that will ultimately be lost as life goes on. The boy is experiencing his first taste of responsibility and the ephemerality of life.
The poem describes the features of various wild animals such as the Asian lion, Bengal tiger, leopard, bear, hyena and crocodile. The Asian lion has a brownish-yellow color and lives in forests of eastern Asia, roaring loudly. The Bengal tiger roams freely in forests, is the king of animals, and has black stripes on yellow fur. It will try to eat anyone it notices. The leopard has black spots on yellow skin and is a great runner that will leap on and attack its prey. The bear is described humorously as embracing humans tightly and squeezing them to death. The crocodile and hyena are also portrayed humorously, with the crocodile appearing to cry and the

Kathleen Shirley Toulson was an English poet born in 1924 who wrote this poem viewing an old photograph of her mother from childhood. The photograph shows the poet's mother as a young girl paddling at the beach with her two cousins, all smiling at their uncle taking the picture. Many years later after the poet's mother had passed away, she would still laugh remembering that day at the beach with her cousins. For the poet, the loss of her mother's laughter and presence through her death has left her with nothing more to say about the circumstance other than silence.
The document lists an email address 60 times and provides a brief classification of natural resources based on their origin, exhaustibility, ownership, and status of development. It categorizes resources as biotic or abiotic, renewable or non-renewable, individual, community, national, or international ownership, and as potential, developed stock, or reserves based on their status of development.
Political parties are essential in a democracy to contest elections and form governments. However, they also face criticisms like a lack of internal democracy, dynastic succession, and money and muscle power in elections. Several steps have been taken in India to reform parties, like the anti-defection law, requiring candidate affidavits, and regulating party finances and internal elections. Further reforms proposed include quotas for women candidates, public funding of elections, and giving citizens a role in pressuring parties to reform themselves from within.
Belinda lived in a small white house with a black kitten, grey mouse, yellow dog, and a dragon as a pet. One day, a pirate climbed into the house through the window armed with pistols and a cutlass. The other animals fled in fear but the dragon courageously attacked the pirate and swallowed him whole. Afterwards, the dragon admitted that the other animals were braver than him. Belinda continues to live happily in the house with her menagerie of pets, including the dragon who still prefers the safety of a cage.

Horace Danby was a locksmith who robbed homes annually to fund his hobby of collecting rare books. He planned to rob Shotover Grange when the family was away. However, during the robbery a woman came upon him and tricked him into opening the safe by claiming she had forgotten the combination. He was later arrested when his fingerprints were found, and it was revealed the woman was also a thief who had used her charm to deceive him.
Palampur village has approximately 450 families from various castes. Agriculture is the main occupation, with 75% of people dependent on farming. The village has fairly well developed infrastructure like roads, electricity, schools and health centers. Farming practices have modernized through the use of high yielding seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation, allowing multiple crops to be grown each year. However, land degradation is a concern due to the impacts of chemical usage and groundwater depletion from tubewells. Aside from farming, some villagers engage in dairy, small manufacturing, shops and transport services.
The poem "No Men Are Foreign" by James Kirkup promotes the message of unity and harmony among all people regardless of differences. The poet says that no men are strange and no countries foreign, as we are all human beings made of the same flesh and blood. While we may have different customs and beliefs, our basic human emotions are the same. The poem stresses that we should not hate others or consider them enemies. Instead, we should recognize our universal brotherhood as children of God living on the same earth.

Background of Poem
This poem was written in 1920 - after World War I, so it has more association with people who suffered from the war, especially people remaining war in a traumatic situation. After the war the poetry became experimental that’s why its focus is on the mental condition of humans who lost their family members, friends and other relatives. To some extent, this poetry talks about the hopes which are carried by conscious and struggling people of society.

emotions of human beings. The fire and ice poem
beautifully describes how humans let their emotions
rule over them. They have no control over their desires.
They work towards achieving their desires, but the
more they work, the more they get trapped in them.
Thus, they never feel satisfied and destroy their life. In
a similar way, the poet thinks that fire and ice will lead
to the destruction of the world.

He was the second child in a family of eleven. His parents were Walter
Whitman, a housebuilder, and Louisa Van Velsor. Whitman grew up in the
Brooklyn district of New York and Long Island. At the age of twelve,
Whitman began learning to work as a printer. It was around this time
that he discovered a great passion for literature. Largely self-taught, he
read voraciously, including works by the great classic writers – Homer,
Dante, Shakespeare, and the Bible. After a devastating fire in the
printing district of New York, Whitman was left without a job, But, in
1836, at the age of 17, he began his career as a teacher in the one-room
school houses of Long Island. He continued to teach until 1841 when he
turned to journalism as a full-time career. He founded a weekly
newspaper, Long-Islander, and later edited a number of Brooklyn and
New York papers. In 1848, Whitman left the Brooklyn Daily Eagle to
become editor of the New Orleans Crescent. In New Orleans, he became
witness to the practice of slavery in the city and was repulsed by what

always support the abolitionists, over concerns about their commitment
to democracy. He closely followed politics throughout his life.

generally greedy, selfish and very complicated. He is very
happy with the easy going nature of animals and he wants
to follow them.The poet Walt Whitman is desirous to live
among the animals as he thinks that they are self
contented and serene. They are wise and this is the reason
why they never bewail of their lot and condition. They do
not weep for their sins and they have no care to worship
even God. They are always satisfied and do not need to
possess things. They respect none including their ancestors
and they remain indifferent in their pleasure and pain. For

not have any kind of falsehood. They are free from all
types of trivial anxieties, so they are still living their
natural life.

is a pet of Belinda, a little girl who lives with her pets in a small

haven. All of the other characters mock him. However, they are
astonished one night when a pirate enters the house. They are all
terrified and begin to hide in various places. The dragon, however,
not only tackles him but also swallows him up, much to everyone’s
amazement. They thank him because the custard rescued them all.
