GLORIOUS HISTORY OF INDIA

BY CHAUHAN JAYDIPSINH R.

Page 11: India
Page 12: India

At Cawnpore the British made anyone suspected of being a rebel lick the ground where the British had been butchered

Other rebels were tied to the mouths of cannons and blown to pieces

1000’s died from both sides, and the relationships between the British and the Indians would never be the same again…..

Page 13: India

The ‘British Raj’, 1858-1947 In 1858 in response to the

rebellion, the British Government abolished the East India Company and declared that India would be ruled directly by the British Government

The army brought more British officers to India to prevent anymore rebellions

This British ‘raj’, meaning ‘rule’, would continue until a man called Gandhi led India to independence….you’ll find out about him in the Year 8 ‘Human Rights, Human Wrongs’ topic…..

Agriculture

The

Economic

s of

Farming

The reason why farming varies around the world relates to distribution across space of cultural and environmental factors.

Elements of the physical environment, such as climate, soil, and topography, set broad limits on agricultural practices, and farmers make choices to modify the environment in a variety of ways.

Broad climate patterns influence the crops planted in a region, and local soil conditions influence the crops planted on an individual farm.

Farmers choose from a variety of agricultural practices, based on their perception of the value of each alternative.

These values are partly economic and partly cultural.

How farmers deal with their physical environment varies according to dietary preferences, availability of technology, and other cultural traditions.

At a global scale, farmers increasingly pursue the most profitable agriculture.

Vegetative Planting Hearths

Fig. 10-1: There were several main hearths, or centers of origin, for vegetative crops

(roots and tubers, etc.), from which the crops diffused to other areas.

Indian Cuisine

Page 38: India

North most Part of India (Highland climate), valley of Kashmir with magnificent Persian gardens and terraced lakes, brisk, cool fresh air is lured with fragrance of pine and saffron flowers. Walnuts and fruit orchards, morels and black cumin seeds grow wild, cool climate for sheep, thus lamb forms the basis of many Kashmiri dishes.

Long grain rice known as Basmati grow in the foothills of the mountain

Page 39: India

Cooking styleNorth India has the most popular and refined style of cooking. Originated from Moghuls in sixteenth century. There are Turk-Mongols by origin and Moslem by religion. They admire most culture is Persian since they are influence by it on their way to India.

Moghul food: lovers of nature and food life, keen sense of beauty, and a passion for elegance. Good for meat preparations and rice pilafs, delicate flavorings and superb silk sauces (often mistaken for Persian dish).

Yogurt, cream, fruit and nut betters are incorporated into the food to mellow and velvetize the sauces

Mild but fragrant spices: cinnamon, cardamom, mace, nutmeg and clove; saffron (especially in rice pilafs)

Tandoori oven

Page 40: India

Spices“warm” spices: generate internal body heat (recommended for cold

weather). Examples: bay leaf, black cardamom, cinnamon, ginger powder, mace, nutmeg, red pepper (used often in cool climate of Kashmir). Tea is flavored by cinnamon and cardamom in cool climate.

“cool” spices: take heat away from one’s system. All other spices range from very cool to moderate warm and suitable at all times in all climates

In Plain region, ‘cool’ spices added to beverages “cool punch’ milk, almond milk, sunflower and cantaloupe seeds, fennel, cloves, and green cardamom

Spices induce perspiration: hot weather Indians drink hot spice-laced tea; some spices have several properties:

Saffron: orange-yellow color and a hypnotizing aroma to a dish

Coriander: thicken a sauce and imparts a nutty fragrance

Onions: thicken and perfume Moghul grains

Tomatoes: tenderizing and souring agents

Spices all have to be cooked before use, mixed well-balance, no once dominates.

Leading Indicators

of the Indian Economy

Page 43: India

Introduction

The increasing importance of the Indian Economy

has led to a need to Forecast the Performance of

the of the Indian Economy

Monitoring of the Indian Economic Cycle has

become an increasingly attractive option for this

Dua et. al. initially propounded an index based on

concurrent indicators but using an index based on

leading indicators is seen to be more appropriate.

Gross Domestic Product

GDP = consumption + investment +

government

spending + (exports − imports)

Consumption, Investment: Final Expenditure on

Goods and Services

Export-Import: Balance of Trade

Consumption: Private and Public

Human Development Index

R&D expenditure even in India’s fast-growing IT sector has been averaging around 3% of sales turnover (STO), which is much lower as compared to the 14-19% expended by internationally reputed software firms.

These low figures reflect on our R&D performance. India’s share of global scientific output in 1998 was only 1.58 per cent of the world’s total.

Out of 500,000 new patent applications filed globally each year, China accounts for 96,000 and Korea accounts for 72,000, while India accounts for only 8,000.

Food Processing Industries (Food products &

Service Sector (Fin. & Non-Fin. Services)
