A) Abuse of trade practices by the merchants of the ruling race B) Ill-gotten money taken from the princely rulers & remitted to England C) Unrequited exports from India D) Gluttish from Indian markets with british manufactured goods Ans. C *Dadabhai Naoroji’s work focused on the drain of wealth from India into England through colonial rule. *One of the reasons that the Drain theory is attributed to Naoroji is his decision to estimate the net national profit of India, and by extension, the effect that colonisation has on the country. *Through his work with economics, Naoroji sought to prove that Britain was draining money out of India. *Naoroji described 6 factors which resulted in the external drain. -Firstly, India is governed by a foreign government. -Secondly, India does not attract immigrants which bring labour and capital for economic growth. -Thirdly, India pays for Britain’s civil administrations and occupational army. -Fourthly, India bears the burden of empire building in and out of its borders. -Fifthly, opening the country to free trade was actually a way to exploit India by offering highly paid jobs to foreign personnel. -Lastly, the principal income-earners would buy outside of India or leave with the money as they were mostly foreign personnel. *In Naoroji’s book ‘Poverty’ he estimated a 200–300 million pounds loss of revenue to Britain that is not returned. *Naoroji described this as vampirism, with money being a metaphor for blood, which humanised India and attempted to show Britain’s actions as monstrous in an attempt to garner sympathy for the nationalist movement. *When referring to the Drain, Naoroji stated that he believed some tribute was necessary as payment for the services that England brought to India such as the railways. However the money from these services were being drained out of India; for instance the money being earned by the railways did not belong to India, which supported his assessment that India was giving too much to Britain.

Over a period of time three schools of Odissi dance developed, they are- Mahari, Nartaki, and Gotipau. The Mahari system traces its roots in the Devadasi tradition. The dance form of Odissi that developed in royal courts is called the Nartaki tradition. In the Gotipau tradition of Odissi dance young boys dress up in female attires and enact female roles. Before the 17th century Odissi dance was held in great esteem due to patronage and support of local rulers and nobles. During this period even the royalty was expected to be accomplished dancers. However, the scenario changed after the 17th century. The dancing girls were thought of as prostitutes and from here the social position of dancers began to decline. During the colonial period too the position of Odissi dance suffered due to anti-nautch attitude of the British. With India gaining independence there began great efforts to revive the classical Indian dances. The government came to realize the role of cultural heritage in creating a national identity. A number of people and experts took initiatives for the reconstruction and popularization of Odissi dance. Some of the notable are Guru Deba Prasad Das, Guru Mayadhar Raut, Guru Pankaj Charan Das, Guru Mahadev Rout, Guru Raghu Dutta and Guru Kelu Charan Mahapatra. One of the most distinguishing features of Odissi dance is the Tribhangi. The notion of Tribhang divides the body into three parts, head, bust and torso. The postures dealing with these three elements are called Tribhangi. This concept has created the very characteristic poses which are more twisted than found in other classical Indian dances. Mudra is also an important component of Odissi dance. The term Mudra means “stamp” and is a hand position which suggests things. Odissi themes are almost religious in nature and mostly revolve around Krishna. Q.5 With reference to the ancient period, who was/were dubashes ? 1.
