BANKS keep only a small proportion of their deposits as cash with themselves. Banks in India, these days hold about 15 per cent of their deposits as cash.
- This is kept as a provision to the depositors who might come to withdraw money from the bank on any given day.
- Banks use the major portion of the deposits to extend loans. There is a great demand for loans for various economic activities. In this way, banks mediate between those who have surplus funds and those who are in need of these funds.
- Banks charge a higher interest rate on loans than what they offer on deposits.
- The difference between what is charged from the borrowers and what is paid to depositors is their main source of income.

Banks use a major portion of the deposits to extend loans to people for various economic activities. The interest rates on loans are much higher than what the bank charges on the deposits it has. Therefore, the difference between what is charged from the borrowers and what is paid to the depositors is the source of income of the banks.

All parties including the Congress and the Muslim League, participated in the demonstrations. • October 1929, a round table conference to discuss a future constitution. • December 1929, Jawahar Lal Nehru demanded Purana Swaraj’ or full independence for India. • It was declared that 26 January 1930, would be celebrated as the Independence Day when people were to take a pledge to struggle for complete independence. 1. The Salt March— • Gandhiji found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation. • On 31 January 1930, Gandhiji sent a letter to Irwin stating eleven demands. The most important demand was to abolish salt tax. • Gandhiji gave an ultimatum that if the demands were not fulfilled by 11 March, the Congress would launch a civil disobedience campaign, but the Irwin was unwilling to negotiate. • Mahatma Gandhi started his famous Salt march over 240 miles from Sabarmati to Dandi. • Thousands from different parts of the country broke the salt law, manufactured salt and demonstrated in front of government factories.

Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government. By some definitions, civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called "civil". Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance. On March 12, 1930, Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi begins a defiant march to the sea in protest of the British monopoly on salt, his boldest act of civil disobedience yet against British rule in India. Britain's Salt Acts prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple in the Indian diet.

The Non-cooperation movement was withdrawn because of the Chauri Chaura incident. Although he had stopped the national revolt single-handedly, on 10 March 1922, Gandhi was arrested. ... This led to suppression of the movement and was followed by the arrest of other leaders. A section of the big business remained sceptical towards the movement. They seemed to be afraid of labour unrest in their factories. People had not learnt or fully understood the method of non-violence. Violent incident in Chauri-Chaura in February 1922 marred the spirit of the movement.

- Economists suggest that the values of goods and services should be used rather than adding up the actual numbers. The value of goods and seivices in the three sectors are calculated and thep added up.
- Not every good (or service), that is produced and sold, needs to be counted. It makes sense only to include final goods and services.
For example: A farmer sells wheat to a flour mill for ? 8 per kg. The mill grinds the wheat and sells the flour to a biscuit company for ? 10 per kg. The biscuit company uses flour, sugar and oil to make the packets of biscuits. It sells biscuits in the market to the consumer for ? 15 per packet. Now, biscuits are the final goods, i.e., goods that reach the consumer. - Intermediate goods are used up in producing final goods and services. The value of final goods already includes the value of all the intermediate goods that are used in making the final goods.
So, the value of final goods and services produced in each sector during a particular year, provides the total production of the sector for that year. And the sum of production in three sectors gives us the ‘Gross.Domestic Product or GDP’.

Power sharing is the need in democracy because of the following:
- It helps in reducing the possibility of conflict between the social groups. Since social conflict often leads to violence and political instability, power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of political order.
- It gives people the right to be consulted on how they should be governed and all the citizens tend to have the same political and legal rights.
Thus, it can be said that power sharing is the spirit of democracy.
Also, though it may seem that dividing of powers means dividing the nation or for that matter weakening the country, however the above reasons prove that in the long run it assists in building the unity of the nation.

During the time period from 1830 to 1848 many revolutions took place because since the conservative reation after 1815 many monarchichal and despotic regimes were reestablished all over Europe. However, the ideals of nationalism, republicanism and liberalism had already been instilled in the people of Europe. This led to a major churning of nationalist aspirations among the multi-lingual and multi-ethnic states of Europe. Different nations started to demand thier own states with republican rule. This led to many insurrections against the monarchical and conservative rule all over Europe between 1830 to 1848.
For instance,
- The first upheaval took place in France in July 1830. The Bourbon kings who had been restored to power during the conservative reaction after 1815, were now overthrown by liberal revolutionaries who installed a constitutional monarchy with Louis Philippe at its head.
- The Greek war of Independence that started in 1821. Nationalists in Greece got support from other Greeks living in exile and also from many West Europeans who had sympathies for ancient Greek culture. Finally, Greece gained its independence in 1832 after the Treaty of Constantinople recognised Greece as one.

Defection is an act of changing party allegiance from the party on which a person got elected (to a Legislative body) to a different party. Earlier it has been an important cause for the formation as well as fall of government. MLAs and MPs were indulging in defection in order to become ministers or for cash rewards. Later on the Constitution was amended and defection has been banned by passing ‘Anti Defection Law’.

The Simon Commission was constituted in order to study constitutional reform in India which was then the most important colonial possession of the British Empire. The Indians rejected the Simon Commission as it did not have even a single Indian member within its fold and hence could not be expected to represent or even take into account the concerns of the Indian populace.

Conservatism is a political philosophy that stressed the importance of tradition, established institutions and customs. It also laid stress on gradual development as opposed to revolutionary change. Following are some of the salient points of conservatism:
- Conservatives believe that traditional institutions like the church, social hierarchies, property and the family should be preserved against all forces of change.
- Many conservatives even saw forces of modernism strengthening traditional institutions like monarchy.
- Around 1815, the conservative regimes in Europe were largely autocratic. They did not tolerate democratic thought, political criticism or dissent. They often put restrictions on activities that questioned the legitimacy of autocracy and imposed censorship laws on newspapers, books, plays and songs that promoted ideas of liberty and freedom.
