country is possible only by respecting the feelings and interests of different

Maharashtra is a state located in western India, with a population of over 110 million
people. The state is home to several large cities, including Mumbai, and has a significant
agricultural sector. However, the state is facing a severe water crisis, with its water
resources coming under increasing pressure due to climate change, industrialization, and
urbanization. The main challenges faced by water resource management in Maharashtra
are
i. Overexploitation of groundwater: Maharashtra is one of the most ground water stressed
states in India, with the demand for water exceeding the supply. Overexploitation of
groundwater for agriculture and urban use has led to a decline in water levels, which has
severe implications for the sustainability of water resources.
ii. Pollution of surface water: Industrialization and urbanization have led to the pollution of
surface water bodies such as rivers and lakes. The pollution has led to water quality
degradation, which poses risks to human health and the environment.
iii. Inefficient irrigation practices: The agricultural sector is the largest user of water in
Maharashtra, accounting for around 80% of total water use. However, traditional irrigation
practices such as flood irrigation are inefficient and lead to the wastage of water.
a. Mention any one reasons for the water crisis faced by the state of Maharashtra. 1
b. Propose any one solution to mitigate the water crisis faced by Maharashtra state. 1
c. Despite being the second highest rainfall-receiving state of the country, Maharashtra
still faces water crisis. Substantiate this statement . 2

It is said of “passive resistance” that it is the weapon of the weak, but the power which is
the subject of this article can be used only by the strong. This power is not passive
resistance; indeed, it calls for intense activity. The movement in South Africa was not
passive but active. ‘Satyagraha is not physical force. A satyagrahi does not inflict pain on
the adversary; he does not seek his destruction. In the use of satyagraha, there is no ill
will whatever. ‘Satyagraha is pure soul force. Truth is the very substance of the soul.
That is why this force is called satyagraha. The soul is informed with knowledge. In it
burns the flame of love. Nonviolence is the supreme dharma …’ It is certain that India
cannot rival Britain or Europe in force of arms. The British worship the war god and they
can all of them become, as they are becoming, bearers of arms. The hundreds of millions
in India can never carry arms. They have made the religion of non-violence their own. In
his famous book Hind Swaraj (1909) Mahatma Gandhi declared that British rule was
established in India, with the cooperation of Indians, and had survived only because of
this cooperation. If Indians refused to cooperate, British rule will collapse within a year.
a. Why did Gandhiji say that passive resistance is not the weapon of the weak? 1
b. “Satyagraha is pure soul-force.” Substantiate this statement in 20 words. 1
c. What according to Mahatma Gandhi is the best weapon to use to collapse British rule
in India? 2
