Directions: Read the passage given below and select the assumption(s) that hold true based on the facts in the passage. 

Cotton acreage in India during the current year has fallen by 10% as cotton growers have moved on the cultivation of other cash crops. This is the result of the cotton glut in world markets post-September 11 and the consequent slowdown in the world economy. But this scenario brought with it benefits to one segment of the industry - yarn manufacturers - as they get higher prices for their produce. Some yarn manufacturers had stocked up low priced cotton last year. The combined effect of all this is evident in the rise in net profits and net margins of yarn manufacturers.

Assumption: The farmers will again grow cotton next year due to the increased price of cotton yarn.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions: 

At one level, colonialism simply means the establishment of rule by one country over another. In the modern period, Western colonialism has had the greatest impact. India’s past has been marked by the entry of numerous groups of people at different times who have established their rule over different parts of what constitutes modern India today. The impact of colonial rule is distinguishable from all other earlier rules because the changes it brought in were far-reaching and deep. History is full of examples of the annexation of foreign territory and the domination of weaker by stronger powers. Nevertheless, there is a vital difference between the empire-building of pre-capitalist times and that of capitalist times. Apart from outright pillage, the pre-capitalist conquerors benefited from their domination by exacting a continuous flow of tribute. On the whole, they did not interfere with the economic base. They simply took the tribute that was skimmed off the economic surplus that was produced traditionally in the subjugated areas. 

For instance, it changed the very laws of the land. (A) Every policy was geared towards the strengthening and expansion of British capitalism. (B) It changed not just land ownership laws but decided even what crops ought to be grown and what ought not to be. (C) In contrast, British colonialism which was based on a capitalist system directly interfered to ensure the greatest profit and benefit to British capitalism. (D) It meddled with the manufacturing sector. It altered the way the production and distribution of goods took place. It entered into the forests. It cleared trees and started tea plantations. It brought in Forest Acts that changed the lives of pastoralists. They were prevented from entering many forests that had earlier provided valuable forage for their cattle. The box carries a brief account of the impact of colonial forest policy in North-East India.

Colonialism also led to the considerable movement of people. It led to the movement of people from one part to another within India. For instance, people from present-day Jharkhand moved to Assam to work on the tea plantations. A newly emerging middle class particularly from the British Presidency regions of Bengal and Madras moved as government employees and professionals like doctors and lawyers moved to different parts of the country. People were carted in ships from India to work on other colonized lands in distant Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Many died on their way. Most could never return. Today many of their descendants are known as people of Indian origin.

Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Pay careful attention

Australia, which is globally the fifth largest exporter of cotton, is looking at India to emerge as a consistent and major buyer of its commodity. An eight-member delegation representing the Australian Cotton Shippers’ Association held meetings in Ludhiana, Mumbai, and Coimbatore between February 27 and March 3. “We came to promote and enhance use of Australian cotton,” Matthew Bradd, chairman of Australian Cotton Shippers’ Association, told The Hindu here on Thursday. “We want India to become a consistent buyer of our cotton.” Australia has nearly 1,200 cotton growers and can supply even small quantities of cotton to India. China purchased over 30% of Australia’s cotton production last year. However, this was lower than its usual purchase.“India is a big market for cotton and spinners in India said they have had good experience with Australian cotton,” he said. According to Hamish McIntyre, vice-chairman of Cotton Australia and a member of the eight-member delegation, India used to purchase 5% to 7% of cotton produced in Australia every year. In 2016, it shot up to nearly 23%. This was mainly because of the drop in production in India last year. Indian textile mills can use Australian cotton as a blend to produce high value garments. The area under cotton and production was increasing in Australia, he said. K.N. Viswanathan, vice-president of Indian Cotton Federation, said that Australia cotton is known for its quality and strength. However, its production was limited until last year.India is the largest producer and consumer of cotton globally. But, India’s imports are also more to meet the need for long staple cotton. For Indian spinners, with failure of monsoon in many places this year where long staple cotton is grown, Australian cotton can be an option. At present, Australian cotton and Indian cotton prices seem to be almost at par. The Indian cotton industry faced a number of problems. Most of them did not have managerial leadership and technical knowledge except the financial capability so had to face the chill wind almost constantly. The result was the frequent changes of managing agents and liquidation of the companies on the one hand, and the oligarchic concentration of the mills to a few agency firms on the other hand. The Indian cotton textile industry had to face stiff competition from Britain’s most internationally aggressive cotton industry. And, in the process, British industry suffered a lot at the hands of the Indian industry. But some events of the 1920s eroded the competitiveness of the Indian industry. After the end of the World War I, Japanese exports of cloth to India acted as a big threat to the Indian industry though such Japanese exports were held in check in the 1920s. But it reappeared after 1930 despite a high tariff rate of 50 p.c. Most of the labourers of the cotton mills were unsophisticated in the sense that they were recruited from the small peasants and agricultural labourers. As a result, permanent textile labour force could not arise. Textile machinery and technology used in this industry were imported before the World War I and it continued till the outbreak of the World War II. However, India could not procure modern equipments from America and Japan because technology of the cotton textile industry was heavily Manchester-biased.

Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Pay careful attention

Australia, which is globally the fifth largest exporter of cotton, is looking at India to emerge as a consistent and major buyer of its commodity. An eight-member delegation representing the Australian Cotton Shippers’ Association held meetings in Ludhiana, Mumbai, and Coimbatore between February 27 and March 3. “We came to promote and enhance use of Australian cotton,” Matthew Bradd, chairman of Australian Cotton Shippers’ Association, told The Hindu here on Thursday. “We want India to become a consistent buyer of our cotton.” Australia has nearly 1,200 cotton growers and can supply even small quantities of cotton to India. China purchased over 30% of Australia’s cotton production last year. However, this was lower than its usual purchase.“India is a big market for cotton and spinners in India said they have had good experience with Australian cotton,” he said. According to Hamish McIntyre, vice-chairman of Cotton Australia and a member of the eight-member delegation, India used to purchase 5% to 7% of cotton produced in Australia every year. In 2016, it shot up to nearly 23%. This was mainly because of the drop in production in India last year. Indian textile mills can use Australian cotton as a blend to produce high value garments. The area under cotton and production was increasing in Australia, he said. K.N. Viswanathan, vice-president of Indian Cotton Federation, said that Australia cotton is known for its quality and strength. However, its production was limited until last year.India is the largest producer and consumer of cotton globally. But, India’s imports are also more to meet the need for long staple cotton. For Indian spinners, with failure of monsoon in many places this year where long staple cotton is grown, Australian cotton can be an option. At present, Australian cotton and Indian cotton prices seem to be almost at par. The Indian cotton industry faced a number of problems. Most of them did not have managerial leadership and technical knowledge except the financial capability so had to face the chill wind almost constantly. The result was the frequent changes of managing agents and liquidation of the companies on the one hand, and the oligarchic concentration of the mills to a few agency firms on the other hand. The Indian cotton textile industry had to face stiff competition from Britain’s most internationally aggressive cotton industry. And, in the process, British industry suffered a lot at the hands of the Indian industry. But some events of the 1920s eroded the competitiveness of the Indian industry. After the end of the World War I, Japanese exports of cloth to India acted as a big threat to the Indian industry though such Japanese exports were held in check in the 1920s. But it reappeared after 1930 despite a high tariff rate of 50 p.c. Most of the labourers of the cotton mills were unsophisticated in the sense that they were recruited from the small peasants and agricultural labourers. As a result, permanent textile labour force could not arise.

However, India could not procure modern equipments from America and Japan because technology of the cotton textile industry was heavily Manchester-biased. 

Question:

What makes the Australian variant of cotton so popular?

  1. The Australian variety is much cheaper than Indian cotton. 

  2. Australian cotton is known for its strength and quality

  3. Majority of the people of India are involved in the cotton industry. 

  4. Technology has played a big role in making it popular.

  5. The stability of the Australian cotton industry makes it popular.

Question:

Is there any possibility of the Indian cotton industry getting benefited by the Australian cotton industry? If yes, how?

  1. The Indian cotton industry can benefit only if the tariffs are kept low. 

  2. Indian cotton can be blended with the Australian cotton to produce higher quality garments.

  3.  The problems faced from the labour force can be reduced if the dependence of the cotton industry increases on Australia. 

  4. The Indian cotton industry can get seriously hampered as both the cotton are of the same quality. 

  5. There is competition between the two countries and none can benefit from each other.
