tradition of Orientalism
- For this, it was necessary to study Indian history, philosophy, and law. William Jones, an expert in law and a linguist, took this task. He began to study ancient Indian texts on law, philosophy, religion, morality, arithmetic, medicine and the other sciences.
- Englishmen like Henry Thomas Colebrooke and Nathaniel Halhed were also busy discovering the ancient Indian heritage, mastering Indian languages and translating Sanskrit and Persian works into English.
- Together with them, Jones set up the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and started a journal called Asiatick Researches.
- Jones and Colebrooke shared a deep respect for the ancient culture. Both Indian and the West Indian civilisation, they felt, had attained glory in the ancient past but had subsequently declined.
- In order to understand India, it was necessary to discover the sacred and legal texts written in the ancient times.
- Jones and Colebrooke went about discovering ancient texts, understanding their meaning, translating them and making their findings known to others.
- Several company officials felt that Hindus and Muslims ought to be taught what they were already familiar with, and what they valued and treasured, instead of subjects that were alien to them.
- It was thought that this was the only way the British could win the hearts of the natives and could earn their respect.
- A madrasa was set up in Calcutta in 1781 to promote the study of Arabic, Persian and Islamic law; and the Hindu College was established in Benaras in 1791 to encourage the study of ancient Sanskrit texts that would be useful for the administration of the country.
- Not all officials shared these views. Many were very strong in their criticism of the Orientalists.

Availability of adequate water for irrigation has changed the cropping pattern of various regions. Many farmers because of the increased availability of water have switched over to the cultivation of water intensive commercial crops such as jute, cotton and tea, rather than food grains such as bajra, wheat and ragi.
The changed cropping pattern has affected the ecological balance of some of the regions as increased irrigation has led to salinity of soil. This has reduced the fertility of the soil.

First of all, we need to identify the type of graph either it is a Population, Topographic, Weather, Political & World Maps because each type of map is studied differently.
Once the type of map is identified. Its legends are read thoroughly so that you know what symbol represents what.
You must be familiar with all the terms or features used in a map because the actual idea of map reading is to interpret the knowledge as original features on earth.

In India, a huge number of people derive the activity from their ancestors. A large portion of India is full of highly fertile land. Moreover, India is a densely populated country and hence needs food grain production on a large scale. The monsoon climate of India is highly favourable for farming. Hence, agriculture is the main economic activity in India.

1. | This type farming is done to fulfil demands of the family members. Production is limited. Old tools are used. It is found in poor countries. | This type of farming is done on a small farm using simple tools and more labour. It is found in thickly populated areas of India and China. |
2. | It depends upon monsoon and the fertility of the soil. | In this type of farming irrigation is used. |
3. | Since it is a 'slash and bum' and bum agriculture the farm land is left for a period of time to again its fertility. | This type of farming is done continually year after year to feed the growing polulation. |

The reformers used the ancient texts to convince people about the need for abolishing certain social evils like widow burning, caste distinctions, child marriage, etc. They believed that if they take the help of the ancient religious texts to support their ideas, it will surely put an impact on people's minds. Thus they used quotation from ancient texts to give weight to their arguments.

(a) Shifting Cultivation: • Shifting cultivation is practiced in the thickly forested areas of Amazon basin, tropical Africa, parts of Southeast Asia and Northeast India. These are the areas of heavy rainfall and quick regeneration of vegetation. • A plot of land is cleared by felling the trees and burning them. The ashes are then mixed with the soil and crops like maize, yam, potatoes and cassava are grown. When soil loses its fertility, the land is abandoned and the cultivator moves to a new plot. • Shifting cultivation is also known as 'slash and burn' agriculture. • It is known by different names in the world – Jhuming in North-Eastern States of India, Milpa in Mexico, Roca in Brazil, Ladang in Malaysia and Ray in Vietnam.
(b) Nomadic Herding: • Nomadic herding is practiced in the semi-arid and arid regions of Sahara, Central Asia and some parts of India, like Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir. • In this type of farming, Herder does not grow any fodder but move from one place to another with their animals for fodder and water, along defined routes. • Sheep, Camel, Yak and Goats are most commonly reared. They provide milk, meat, wool and other products to the herders and their families.
