Mother’s advice
The Mahabharata describes how, when war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas
became almost inevitable, Gandhari made one last appeal to her eldest son
Duryodhana:
By making peace you honour your father and me, as well as your well-wishers … it is
the wise man in control of his senses who guards his kingdom. Greed and anger drag a
man away from his profits; by defeating these two enemies a king conquers the earth …
You will happily along with the wise and heroic Pandavas … There is no good in a war,
no law (dharma) and profit (artha), let alone happiness; nor is there (necessarily) victory
in the end – don’t set your mind on war … Duryodhana did not listen to this advice and
fought and lost the war.
i. How does a king conquer the earth as describes in the extract? 2
ii. Mention the views of Gandhari on feud war. 3
iii. Explain about Gandhari’s appeal to her son? 2
15. Read the excerpt and answer the following questions
System of varnas
This is Al-Biruni’s account of the system of varnas:
The highest caste are the Brahmana, of whom the books of the Hindus tell us that they
were created from the head of Brahman. And as the Brahman is only another name for
the force called nature, and the head is the highest part of the … body, the Brahmana
are the choice part of the whole genus. Therefore the Hindus consider them as the very
best of mankind. The next caste are the Kshatriya, who were created, as they say, from
the shoulders and hands of Brahman. Their degree is not much below that of the
Brahmana. After them follow the Vaishya, who were created from the thigh of Brahman.
The Shudra, who were created from his feet . . .
Between the latter two classes there is no very great distance. Much, however, as these
classes differ from each other, they live together in the same towns and villages, mixed
together in the same houses and lodgings.

On clearance and settled cultivation
Passing through one village in the lower Rajmahal hills, Buchanan wrote:
The view of the country is exceedingly fine, the cultivation, especially the narrow valleys
of rice winding in all directions, the cleared lands with scattered trees, and the rocky hills
are in perfection; all that is wanted is some appearance of progress in the area and a
vastly extended and improved cultivation, of which the country is highly susceptible.
Plantations of Asan and Palas, for Tessar (Tassar silk worms) and Lac, should occupy
the place of woods to as great an extent as the demand will admit; the remainder might
be all cleared, and the greater part cultivated, while what is not fit for the purpose, might
rear Plamira (palmyra) and Mowa (mahua).
i. Mention about Buchanan’s opinion of how the land of Rajmahal more

the local inhabitants? 2
iii. Explain how the inhabitants of the Rajmahal hill felt about the Buchanan’s
ideas of production. 2
