Q.1: Which of the following rights is addressed in the given Machal Laung’s case study?
a) Right to life and personal liberty
b) Right to freedom of religion
c) Right against exploitation
d) Right to dignity
Answer: d) Right to dignity
Explanation: The question refers to "Machal Laung’s case study," which isn’t provided here. However,
based on the options, the "Right to dignity" is often associated with case studies involving human rights
violations, especially in contexts like exploitation or discrimination. In the Indian Constitution, the Right
to Dignity is linked to Article 21 (Right to Life and Personal Liberty), but it’s often highlighted separately
in cases involving human dignity, such as those related to marginalized communities or inhumane
treatment. Since the question asks for a specific right, "Right to dignity" fits best among the options
Q.2: Under which Article of the Indian Constitution, untouchability is abolished?
a) Article 14
b) Article 15
c) Article 16
d) Article 17
Answer: d) Article 17
Explanation: Article 17 of the Indian Constitution explicitly abolishes untouchability and forbids its
practice in any form. Article 14 deals with equality before the law, Article 15 prohibits discrimination on
grounds like religion or caste, and Article 16 ensures equality in public employment, but only Article 17
directly addresses untouchability.
Q.3: A. The candidate with the most votes in a particular constituency is declared the winner under the
FPTP electoral system.
B. Smaller social groups are often negatively affected by the FPTP election system.
C. All voters in a constituency are eligible to cast votes under a separate electorate system, but the
candidates can only come from the community or social group for which the seat is designated.
D. With a separate electorate system, only voters who are a part of the community being represented
could vote. a) Statement A is incorrect
b) Statement C is incorrect
c) Statement A and B are incorrect
d) Statement C and D are correct
Answer: b) Statement C is incorrect
Explanation: Let’s analyse each statement: Statement A: True. The First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) system
declares the candidate with the most votes in a constituency as the winner, as used in India for Lok
Sabha elections. Statement B: True. Smaller social groups can be negatively affected by FPTP because
it often favors larger groups, leading to underrepresentation of minorities. Statement C: Incorrect. A
separate electorate system means only members of a specific community can vote for candidates from
that community (e.g., as proposed in colonial India for Muslims). However, the statement incorrectly
describes it as a system where "all voters in a constituency are eligible to cast votes" but candidates
are restricted. In a separate electorate, voting is restricted to the community, not open to all.
Statement D: True. This correctly describes a separate electorate system, where only voters from the
designated community can vote. Since Statement C is incorrect, the correct option is b).
Q.4: While appointing the Prime Minister, the President selects
a. Leader of the largest party in the Lok Sabha
b. Leader of the largest party or alliance which secures a majority in the Lok Sabha
c. The leader of the largest party in the Rajya Sabha
d. Leader of the alliance or party that has the support of the majority in Lok Sabha
Answer: d) Leader of the alliance or party that has the support of the majority in Lok Sabha
Explanation: In India, the President appoints the Prime Minister, who must command the confidence of
the majority in the Lok Sabha (House of the People). This is typically the leader of the party or alliance
that has a majority (either by winning the most seats or by forming a coalition). Option b) is close but
doesn’t account for post-election alliances, while option d) is more precise as it includes any party or
alliance with majority support, even if it’s not the single largest party
Q.5: Read the statements given below and choose the correct option:
Assertion (A): Indian secularism allows for principled state intervention in all religions.
Reason (R): Religiously sanctioned caste-hierarchies are not acceptable within Indian secularism. A)
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true. Answer: a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion (A): True. Indian secularism, unlike Western models, allows the state to
intervene in religious practices to ensure equality and justice. For example, the state has intervened to
abolish practices like untouchability or to reform personal laws. Reason (R): True. Indian secularism
does not accept religiously sanctioned caste hierarchies, as they violate the principle of equality (e.g.,
Article 17 abolishes untouchability).Explanation: R explains A because one of the reasons the state
intervenes in religious practices (as per Indian secularism) is to eliminate discriminatory practices like
caste hierarchies. For instance, laws banning untouchability or temple entry restrictions are examples
of such intervention. Thus, a) is correct.
Q.6: The total strength of Uttar Pradesh’s Vidhan Sabha is 403. A bill needs to be passed by special
majority, given all the members are present but 10 members abstained from voting. How many votes
are required to be passed in its favour?
a) 202
b) 262
c) 268
d) 286
Answer: c) 268
Explanation: The total strength of the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha is 403 members. A special majority
in India typically means a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting (this is common for
certain bills, like constitutional amendments, though the question doesn’t specify the type of bill). If 10
members abstain, the number of members present and voting is 403 - 10 = 393. A two-thirds majority
of 393 is calculated as:
(2/3) x 393 = 262 votes. However, since the number of votes must be a whole number, we round up to
the next integer if necessary. But let’s check the options: Two-thirds of 403 (total strength) would be
(2/3) x 403 ≈ 268.67, which rounds up to 269.However, since 10 members abstained, we calculate
based on 393: (2/3) x 393 ≈ 262.
The options suggest the question might be interpreting "special majority" differently, or there might be
a specific rule for the Vidhan Sabha. In some contexts, a special majority might mean two-thirds of the
total strength (403), which is 268.67, rounding to 268. Given the options, c) 268 aligns with this
interpretation, likely assuming the special majority is based on the total strength, not just those voting.
Q.7: Arrange the following in chronological order:
a) Community Development Programme was undertaken.
b) Some states adopted the system of elected local bodies.
c) Village panchayats were established in a number of provinces.
d) P.K. Thungon Committee recommended constitutional recognition for the local government bodies.
A) b, c, a, d
b) c, b, d, a
c) d, b, a, c
d) c, a, b, d
Answer: d) c, a, b, d
Explanation: Let’s arrange these events chronologically:
c). Village panchayats were established in a number of provinces: This refers to the early post-
independence period. Village panchayats were set up in some provinces even before independence,
but they were formalized after 1947, especially with the Constitution’s Directive Principles (Article 40)
in 1950.
a). Community Development Programme was undertaken: The Community Development Programme
was launched in 1952 to promote rural development, after the establishment of panchayats.
b). Some states adopted the system of elected local bodies: This refers to the gradual adoption of
elected local bodies (panchayats) across states, which happened through the 1950s and 1960s, with
the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee (1957) recommending a three-tier panchayat system.
d). P.K. Thungon Committee recommended constitutional recognition for the local government bodies:
The P.K. Thungon Committee was set up in 1988 to recommend constitutional status for local bodies,
which eventually led to the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments in 1992.
So, the correct order is c (1950s), a (1952), b (1950s-1960s), d (1988), which matches option d) c, a, b,
d.
Q.8: ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ is an autobiography of:
a) Mahatma Gandhi
b) Nelson Mandela
c) Salman Rushdie
d) Aung San Suu Kyi
Answer: b) Nelson Mandela
Explanation: Long Walk to Freedom is the autobiography of Nelson Mandela, published in 1994. It
details his life, his struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and his journey to becoming the country’s
first Black president. The other options are incorrect: Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography is The Story of
My Experiments with Truth, Salman Rushdie is known for novels like Midnight’s Children, and Aung San
Suu Kyi’s notable work is Freedom from Fear.
Q.9: Which of the following is NOT a fundamental duty under the Indian Constitution?
a) To protect and improve the natural environment
b) To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals
c) To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood
d) To practice the religion of one’s choice
Answer: d) To practice the religion of one’s choice
Explanation: Fundamental Duties are listed under Article 51A of the Indian Constitution, added by the
42nd Amendment in 1976. Let’s check the options:
a) To protect and improve the natural environment – This is a Fundamental Duty (Article 51A(g)).
b) To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals – This is a Fundamental Duty (Article 51A(a)).
c) To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood – This is a Fundamental Duty (Article
51A(e)).
d) To practice the religion of one’s choice – This is NOT a Fundamental Duty; it is a Fundamental Right
under Article 25 (Right to Freedom of Religion).
Thus,
d) is the correct answer.
Q.10: Positive Liberty means:
a) Liberty to do anything
b) Liberty with restraints
c) Only restraints
d) None of these
Answer: b) Liberty with restraints
Explanation: Positive Liberty, a concept in political philosophy (often associated with thinkers like Isaiah
Berlin), refers to the idea of self-mastery and the ability to fulfill one’s potential, often with certain
restraints to ensure the common good. It contrasts with Negative Liberty, which is freedom from
interference (liberty to do anything without restrictions). Positive Liberty involves conditions or
restraints that enable individuals to achieve their true potential, such as laws or social norms that
promote equality or education. Thus, b) Liberty with restraints is the correct answer.
Q.11: Look at the picture given above and identify the authority of the house of parliament who
suspends ministers from the house.
Answer: The Speaker of the Lok Sabha
Explanation: The cartoon shows a chaotic scene in a parliamentary setting with a figure saying, “बाहर
निकलें, आप किर किर हैं!” which translates to “Get out, you’re making noise!” This indicates someone
being expelled or suspended from the house. In the Indian Parliament, the authority to suspend
members (including ministers) from the house lies with the presiding officer. For the Lok Sabha (the
lower house), this is the Speaker, and for the Rajya Sabha (the upper house), it is the Chairman (Vice
President). Since the question refers to the “house of parliament” and the context of ministers (who are
typically members of the Lok Sabha), the Speaker of the Lok Sabha is the most likely authority. The
cartoon’s setting also resembles a parliamentary session, reinforcing this conclusion.
Q.12: Name the term given to a bill that is introduced by a member of Parliament.
a) Business Bill
b) Private Member’s Bill
c) Finance Bill
Q.13: Why do we study Political Theory?
Answer: We study Political Theory to understand the concepts, ideas, and principles that shape political
systems, such as justice, liberty, and equality. It helps us analyze the functioning of governments,
evaluate policies, and develop critical thinking about power, authority, and governance. Political Theory
also provides a framework to address contemporary political challenges and envision better societies.
Q.14: Why do you think Bolivia is cited as one of the most successful cases of democratic
decentralisation in Latin America?
Answer: Bolivia is cited as a successful case of democratic decentralisation due to its 1994 Law of
Popular Participation, which devolved power to local municipalities, empowered indigenous
communities, and increased citizen participation in governance. This led to improved local service
delivery, greater political inclusion, and reduced inequality, making Bolivia a model for decentralisation
in Latin America.
15: There are various types of amendments in the Indian Constitution. In the light of the statement
explain the technical and amendment through differing interpretations with examples.
Answer: Technical amendments correct minor errors in the Constitution, like the 3rd Amendment
(1954), which adjusted the Seventh Schedule. Amendments through differing interpretations occur
when the judiciary reinterprets constitutional provisions, such as the Supreme Court’s evolving
interpretation of the Right to Life (Article 21) in cases like Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India (1978),
expanding its scope to include dignity and liberty.
Q.16: Explain the version of Secularism propounded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Answer: Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s version of secularism, implemented in Turkey, aimed to separate
religion from state affairs completely. He abolished the Caliphate in 1924, banned religious symbols in
public spaces (like the fez), and replaced Islamic laws with a secular legal system based on European
models. Ataturk’s secularism promoted modernization by reducing religious influence in governance
and education.
Q.17: Highlight any two functions of the Indian Constitution in detail.
Answer: 1. Establishes the Framework of Governance: The Indian Constitution outlines the structure,
powers, and functions of the government, dividing responsibilities among the legislature, executive,
and judiciary to ensure checks and balances.
2. Guarantees Fundamental Rights: It ensures citizens’ rights like equality, liberty, and justice,
protecting them from state overreach and promoting a democratic society.
Q.18: Mention any two ways to promote equality in the society.
Answer: 1. Ensuring Equal Access to Education: Providing free and quality education to all, regardless of
caste, gender, or economic status, reduces disparities and empowers individuals.
2. Implementing Affirmative Action: Policies like reservations for marginalized groups in jobs and
education help address historical inequalities and promote social inclusion in society.
Q.19: Rights not only place obligations upon the state to act in a certain way, but they also place
obligations upon each of us. In context of the above statement, give any four reasons as to how rights
foster responsibilities.
Answer: Rights foster responsibilities in several ways. First, the right to freedom of speech obligates us
to use it responsibly, avoiding hate speech or misinformation that harms others. Second, the right to
vote comes with the responsibility to make informed choices, ensuring a functioning democracy. Third,
the right to a clean environment imposes a duty to conserve resources and reduce pollution for future
generations. Fourth, the right to equality requires us to treat others fairly, rejecting discrimination
based on caste, gender, or religion. Thus, rights and responsibilities are interconnected, as exercising
rights thoughtfully ensures a harmonious society where everyone’s rights are respected and upheld.
Q.20: Highlight any two functions of the Indian Constitution in detail.
Answer: The Indian Constitution serves multiple functions, two of which are crucial. First, it establishes
the framework of governance by defining the structure, powers, and duties of the three organs—
legislature, executive, and judiciary. It ensures a separation of powers, with the Parliament making
laws, the executive implementing them, and the judiciary interpreting them, maintaining checks and
balances. For example, Article 74 outlines the role of the Council of Ministers, aiding the President.
Second, it guarantees Fundamental Rights to citizens, ensuring equality, liberty, and justice. Articles 14
to 18 protect against discrimination, while Article 21 safeguards the right to life and personal liberty,
empowering citizens to live with dignity and seek judicial remedy if rights are violated.
Q.21: Mention any two ways to promote equality in the society.
Answer: Promoting equality in society requires deliberate actions. First, ensuring equal access to
education is vital. By providing free, quality education to all, regardless of caste, gender, or economic
background, disparities can be reduced. For instance, the Right to Education Act (2009) mandates free
education for children aged 6 to 14, empowering marginalized groups. Second, implementing
affirmative action policies helps address historical inequalities. Reservations in education and
government jobs for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes ensure
representation and opportunities for disadvantaged communities. These measures, supported by
Article 15(4) of the Constitution, enable social inclusion, reduce discrimination, and foster a more
equitable society where everyone has a fair chance to succeed.
Q.22: (Inferred) Explain the significance of the Right to Education in the Indian Constitution.
Answer: The Right to Education (RTE) is a significant provision in the Indian Constitution, enshrined
under Article 21A through the 86th Amendment in 2002. It mandates free and compulsory education
for children aged 6 to 14, ensuring access to quality education for all, regardless of socio-economic
background. This right empowers marginalized groups, reduces child labour, and promotes social
equality by breaking the cycle of poverty through education. The RTE Act, 2009, further enforces this
by setting norms for schools, such as pupil-teacher ratios and infrastructure, and reserving 25% of
seats in private schools for disadvantaged children. By making education a fundamental right, the
Constitution fosters an educated citizenry, essential for a vibrant democracy and inclusive
development.
Q.23: (Inferred) Discuss the role of the judiciary in protecting Fundamental Rights in India.
Answer: The judiciary in India plays a pivotal role in protecting Fundamental Rights, acting as the
guardian of the Constitution. The Supreme Court and High Courts ensure that rights like equality
(Article 14), freedom (Article 19), and life and liberty (Article 21) are upheld. Through judicial review,
the judiciary can strike down laws or actions that violate these rights, as seen in the Kesavananda
Bharati case (1973), which established the basic structure doctrine. The judiciary also expands the
scope of rights through landmark judgments, such as interpreting Article 21 to include the right to
privacy in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017). Public Interest Litigations (PILs) further
enable citizens to seek justice, ensuring the state remains accountable.
Q.24 In our country there are millions of people who are underprivileged and deprived. They may be
subjected to exploitation by their fellow human beings. One such form of exploitation in our country has
been beggar. Another closely related form of exploitation is buying and selling of human beings and
using them as slaves. Both of these are prohibited under the Constitution. Forced labour was imposed
by landlords, moneylenders and other wealthy persons in the past. Some form of bonded labour still
continues in the country, especially in brick kiln work. It has now been declared a crime and it is
punishable. The Constitution also forbids employment of children below the age of 14 years in
dangerous jobs like factories and mines. With child labour being made illegal and right to education
becoming a fundamental right for children, this right against exploitation has become more meaningful.
i) Labour _______ relates to Prohibition of Trafficking of Human Being and Forced Labour.
a) Article 24
b) Article 23
c) Article 22
d) Article 21Answer: b) Article 23
Explanation: Article 23 of the Indian Constitution prohibits trafficking of human beings and forced
labour, including practices like bonded labour and slavery. Article 24 prohibits child labour in hazardous
jobs, Article 22 deals with protection against arrest and detention, and Article 21 ensures the right to
life and personal liberty. Since the question focuses on trafficking and forced labour, Article 23 is the
correct answer.
ii) The Supreme Court held that building construction work was hazardous employment where children
below the age of ___ years should not be employed.
a) 21
b) 14
c) 6
d) 7
Answer: b) 14
Explanation: The Indian Constitution, under Article 24, prohibits the employment of children below the
age of 14 years in hazardous occupations, such as building construction, factories, or mines. The
Supreme Court has upheld this provision in various judgments, ensuring that children under 14 are not
engaged in dangerous work to protect their health and development.
iii) The state had employed people for the construction of the roads. It was found that these workers
were forced to do labour without payment. The workers were promised that they would be paid after
the completion of the project, but they were not given any money. Analyse the situation and tick the
correct option:
a) It is a situation of power of state
b) It is a situation of Beggar
c) Forced Labour without payment
d) It is a situation of Human Trafficking
Answer: c) Forced Labour without payment
Explanation: The situation describes workers being forced to work without payment, with a false
promise of future compensation. This is a clear case of forced labour, also known as "beggar" in some
contexts, which is prohibited under Article 23 of the Indian Constitution. It is not human trafficking
(which involves buying/selling humans) or a "power of state" issue, but specifically forced labour
without payment.
iv) As the _______ has become a fundamental right for children, the right against exploitation has
become more meaningful.
a) Right to Education
b) Right to Dignity
c) Right to Privacy
d) Right to Information
Answer: a) Right to Education
Explanation: The passage mentions that the right to education becoming a fundamental right has made
the right against exploitation more meaningful. The Right to Education was made a fundamental right
under Article 21A (via the 86th Amendment, 2002) for children aged 6 to 14, ensuring free and
compulsory education. This helps prevent child labour (an exploitative practice) by prioritizing
education, thus strengthening the right against exploitation under Articles 23 and 24.
Q.25: Read the picture and answer the following questions:
The cartoon shows a group of people, some in traditional attire, with one person leading a procession.
The setting appears to be a public gathering or protest.a) Identify the person leading the ministers.
Answer: The cartoon does not provide explicit names or clear identifiers for the person leading the
ministers. However, based on the context of a Political Science exam and the visual of a leader in a
procession, it could symbolize a prominent political figure leading a movement. Without specific details,
a likely historical figure in such a context could be Mahatma Gandhi, known for leading ministers and
people in movements like the Dandi Salt March. However, this is an educated guess based on typical
Political Science contexts.
b) Enumerate the role of the person leading the ministers in India.
Answer: Assuming the leader is a symbolic representation of a Prime Minister or a key political figure
(as ministers are typically led by the Prime Minister in India), their role includes heading the
government, chairing the Cabinet, advising the President, and formulating national policies. They also
represent India internationally and ensure the implementation of laws and development programs.
Explain any two features of Parliamentary form of government.
Answer: 1. Collective Responsibility: In a parliamentary system, the Council of Ministers is collectively
responsible to the legislature (Lok Sabha). If the Lok Sabha passes a no-confidence motion, the entire
government must resign.
2. Nominal and Real Executive: The President is the nominal head, while the Prime Minister, as the real
executive, exercises actual power, leading the government and decision-making processes.
