(FREE) ECONOMY OF INDIA -IMPORTANT SOLVED MCQ

CLICK HERE TO FULL DOWNLOAD

Answer with Explanation

  1. Consider the following statement about Gross National Product
  2. It Includes Factor income earned by the factors of production of the rest of the world employed in the domestic economy
  3. It excludes Factor income earned by the domestic factors of production employed in the rest of the world

Choose the correct answer from the following code:

(A) Only 1

(B) Only 2

(C) Both 1 and 2

(D) None of the above

Ans: (D)

Explanation:

GNP = GDP + Factor income earned by the domestic factors of production employed in the rest of the world – Factor income earned by the factors of production of the rest of the world employed in the domestic economy

Hence, GNP = GDP + Net factor income from abroad (Net factor income from abroad =

Factor income earned by the domestic factors of production employed in the rest of the world – Factor income earned by the factors of production of the rest of the world employed in the domestic economy).

 

2 Consider the following statement

  1. Net National Product at market price = Gross Domestic Product – Depreciation
  2. Net National Income at factor cost = Personal Income

Choose the correct answer from the following code:

(A) Only 1

(B) Only 2

(C) Both 1 and 2

(D) None of the above

Ans: (a)

Explanation:

We have already noted that a part of the capital gets consumed during the year due to wear and tear. This wear and tear is called depreciation. Naturally, depreciation does not become part of anybody’s income. If we deduct depreciation from GNP the measure of aggregate income that we obtain is called Net National Product (NNP).

NNP = GNP – Depreciation

It is to be noted that all these variables are evaluated at market prices. Through the expression given above, we get the value of NNP evaluated at market prices.

Thus, NNP at factor cost = National Income (NI ) = NNP at market prices – (Indirect taxes– Subsidies) = NNP at market prices – Net indirect taxes (Net indirect taxes = Indirect taxes – Subsidies)

3 Consider the following statements:

  1. Real GDP increases when the value of goods and services increases.
  2. Nominal GDP is the value of GDP at current prevailing prices

Choose the correct answer from the following code:

(A) Only 1

(B) Only 2

(C) Both 1 and 2

(D) None of the above

Ans: (B)

Explanation:

Real GDP is calculated in a way such that the goods and services are evaluated at some constant set of prices (or constant prices). Since these prices remain fixed, if the Real GDP changes we can be sure that it is the volume of production which is undergoing changes. Nominal GDP, on the other hand, is simply the value of GDP at the current prevailing prices. For example, suppose a country only produces bread. In the year 2000. It had produced 100 units of bread; price was Rs 10 per bread. GDP at current price was

Rs 1,000. In 2001 the same country produced 110 units of bread at price Rs 15 per bread.

Therefore nominal GDP in 2001 was Rs 1,650 (=110 × Rs 15). Real GDP in 2001 calculated at the price of the year 2000 (2000 will be called the base year) will be 110 × Rs 10 = Rs 1,100.

4 Which of the following is a measure of Inflation in an economy?

  1. GDP deflator
  2. Consumer Price Index
  3. Whole sale Price Index

Choose the correct answer from the following code

(A) Only 2

(B) Only 2 and 3

(C) Only 1 and 3

(D) All the above

Ans: (D)

Explanation:

Notice that the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP gives us an idea of how the prices have moved from the base year (the year whose prices are being used to calculate the real GDP) to the current year. In the calculation of real and nominal GDP of the current year, the volume of production is fixed. Therefore, if these measures differ it is only due to change in the price level between the base year and the current year. The ratio of nominal to real GDP is a well known index of prices. This is called GDP Deflator.

There is another way to measure change of prices in an economy which is known as the

Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is the index of prices of a given basket of commodities which are bought by the representative consumer. Wholesale Price Index is a measure of the changes in the price of product which are traded in bulk.

5 Consider the following statements:

  1. An increase in GDP implies a better quality of life of the people of the country
  2. Services provided by women in their household is not calculated in the GDP

Choose the correct answer from the following code:

 

(A) Only 1

(B) Only 2

(C) Both 1 and 2

(D) None of the above

Ans: (B)

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Quality of life is not only dependent on the income of an individual. Again, an increase in GDP does not even indicate an overall increase in income because of skewed distribution of Income.

Statement 2 is correct: Services provided by women in their household is not paid for so it not attributed to the GDP.

6 National Disposable Income does not include which of the following?

(A) Net National Product at Factor cost

(B) Gifts to the government in cash and kind

(C) Indirect taxes

(D) Subsidy

Ans: (D)

Explanation:

National Disposable Income = Net National Product at market prices + Other current transfers from the rest of the world The idea behind National Disposable Income is that it gives an idea of what is the maximum amount of goods and services the domestic economy has at its disposal.

Current transfers from the rest of the world include items such as gifts, aids, etc.

NNP at factor cost + Indirect Taxes – Subsidy = NNP at market prices

6 Consider the following statement about refractive Index:

  1. The refractive index determines the relative speed of light in different media
  2. Optical density of a medium depends on the refractive index of the medium

Choose the correct answer from the following code:

(A) Only 1

(B) Only 2

(C) Both 1 and 2

(D) None of the above

Ans: (C)

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: The refractive index can be linked to an important physical quantity, the relative speed of propagation of light in different media. It turns out that light propagates with different speeds in different media. Light travels the fastest in vacuum with the highest speed of 3×108 m s–1. In air, the speed of light is only marginally less, compared to that in vacuum. It reduces considerably in glass or water. The value of the refractive index for a given pair of media depends upon the speed of light in the two media.

Statement 2 is correct: The ability of a medium to refract light is also expressed in terms of its optical density. Optical density has a definite connotation. It is not the same as mass density. We have been using the terms ‘rarer medium’ and ‘denser medium’ in this Chapter. It actually means ‘optically rarer medium’ and ‘optically denser medium’, respectively.

History of Modern India(1707-1947)

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Modern History is one of the most important topics in history and questions from this section always make it to the competitive exams. A good understanding of this section is essential to qualify competitive exam such as UPSC, SSC, and CAPF etc.

Modern History of India

The phase of Modern history in India begins with the decline of Mughal Power in the early 18th century. With the decline of Mughal Power, many centres of power developed to occupy the power vacuum in India. Among these powers, Maratha was one of the promising Powers which could have found the next empire in India but the defeat of Maratha in the second battle of Panipat washed away their hopes to form a pan Indian Empire. The subsequent rise of the British after the battle of Buxar didn’t provide any further avenues to any other power and slowly and steadily annexed various smaller states in India to become a pan India Empire.

India in the Eighteen Century

The India of the Eighteen Century was in a chaotic state. Various power centres were fighting among each other oblivious of a foreign enemy which was going to take control of their motherland and was going to subjugate the whole Indian Subcontinent for the next 250 years. During Eighteen Century various wars were fought but the three decisive battles sealed the fate of India in the hands of the British Empire. The 3rd battle of Panipat, The battle of Plassey, and the battle of Buxar changed the power dynamics in the Indian subcontinent.

Topics Covered Under India in the Eighteen Century

  • Decline of Mughal Empire
  • Rise and fall of Maratha
  • Mysore wars
  • Coming of Europeans in India
  • Anglo – French Struggle
  • Expansion of British Empire

The beginning of British political sway in India can be traced from the battle of Plassey. With the annexation of Bengal and establishing their strong foothold in Bengal. The British power felt confident to replicate the same to annexed maximum territory in India. As per their policy of Ring Fence they used annexation through wars or subsidiary alliance to control the empires surrounding the borders of Bengal. But with each success, British Empire got more confident and continued further expansion which finally stopped in 1958 when the British Crown took over Indian Empire.

Topics Covered Under Expansion of British Empire

  • British occupation of Bengal
  • Annexation Policies
  • Annexation under various Governor General
  • Economic Policies of British Empire

The primary aim of the East India Company was to extract as much wealth from India as possible. The economic policy of the British was tuned to achieve this primary objective. With the establishment of British rule in India, The Britishers tried to dismantle the indigenous industries in India and converted India into a market for British goods and a supplier of raw material to fuel the growth of Industries in Britain.

Topics Covered Under Economic Policies of British Empire

  • Economic policies in India
  • Land revenue system
  • Drain of Wealth Theory
  • Development of means of Communication and Transport
  • Administrative Organization in British India

After having annexed the vast territories in India, The Britishers organized a government structure in India. The main objective of the Government of India was to maintain the law and order so that trade with India and the exploitation of its resources can be done without disturbance. The government structure helped in fulfilling the primary objective of economic exploitation of India and curbs any dissent in its bud before taking the shape of a massive revolution.

Revolt of 1857

The revolt of 1857 also called the First War of Indian Independence was much more than a sepoy mutiny. It was the Indian expression to the most-hated foreign regime. The hatred towards the foreign regime grew over the years due to its policies of annexation and subjugation of Indian kingdoms, economic exploitation of the country.

Religious and social Reform Movement

The British Empire brought with it the western culture. Western conquest exposed the weakness and decays of Indian Society and some thoughtful Indians show this as the reason of their subjugation by the Britishers. They were highly impressed by the progress made by western society due to their scientific temper and humanism. These Indians tried to reform the Indian culture as they believed fighting the vices of Indian Society is the first step in throwing away the yoke of imperialism.

Early Nationalism

Nationalism in India arose to fight the challenges of foreign dominance. With time Indians begin to realize an inherent clash between the interest of people of India and the British Interest. Many intelligent Indians the root cause of Indian problems are the policies of the Indian government that are meant to promote the interest of Britain. This realization led to the formation of a various political organization which resulted in the formation of Indian National Congress in 1885.

National Movement (1905 to 1919)

National Movements in the year 1905 to 19019 is considered as the first phase of mass revolution in the struggle towards achieving Indian Independence. It started with the Swadeshi movement against the partition of Bengal. Violent militant nationalism also rose during the period as a result of the failure of the moderates to convince the government of India about their various demands. The period also witnessed the split of Congress and its unification in 1917. Various important movements like the Ghadar movement, Home rue League movement also took place during this period. All these episodes formed the base which gave Indians strength to participate in bigger movements under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.

National Movement (1919 to 1939)

The second phase of National Movements from 1919 to 1939 is the launch paid where the dreams of Indian Independence took off. The Non – Cooperation movement of the early 1920’s, the civil disobedience movement of the 1930’s, the roundtable conference and the victory of Congress in the provincial election of 1937 prepared the ground for the final battle of Indian Independence.

Freedom and Partition (1939 – 1947)

The third and the last phase of the National movement from 1939 to 1947 threw away the yoke of foreign rule and India gained its Independence after a long struggle of around a century. The Quit India movement and the support of Indians during the trial of the prisoners of Indian National Army was the final nail in the coffins of the British Empire. India got Independence in August 1947 but the seed of divide and rule has resulted in two nation-states India and Pakistan.

Administrative Changes After 1857

The revolt of 1857 brought the discontent against the British Empire to the forefront and to further continue ruling India, Britishers could not have continued the same way. They need to pacify the people of India. To this end, they brought legislative reforms, reforms in Police and Judiciary. These reforms were aimed to prevent any repeat of 1857 revolt but at the same time promote the interest of British India

Development of Indian Press

Press is one of the most important media to create awareness among the people. During the struggle for Independence, the freedom of the press has been gagged many times to prevent the spread of nationalist sentiments among the masses. The development of Indian press has been shaped by various regulations such as Censorship of press act 1799, licensing regulation 1823, Press Act 1835, Registration act 1867, Vernacular press act 1878 etc.

 Development of Education

In the initial phase of their rule, the Britishers did not show much interest in the development of education in India. The Charter Act 1813 was the first document which showed the Britishers interest to develop education in India but it was restricted to the oriental education system. The first noteworthy step towards educational development in India was Macaulay minutes and subsequently; wood’s Dispatch laid the architecture of modern education system in India.

Civil Rebellions and Tribal Uprisings (1757 – 1900)

The Britishers were alien to India, the Indian way of life, Indian Culture and its social and political conditions. To fulfil their economic goals and to exploit the natural resource they used brute force ignoring the social and religious sentiments of the people, the way of life of the tribals etc. This led to various regional conflicts between the Britishers and the local people and tribals. Some of the important events were the Santhal uprising, Ahom Revolt, Pagal Panthis etc.

Peasant Movements (1857 – 1947)

The Britishers through their agriculture taxation system have broken the backbone of Indian agriculture. Their only aim was to extract as much from the land as possible without investing any significant amount in the improvement of Indian agriculture. This pushed the Indian farmers in abject poverty. The farmers were barely able to fulfil their tax requirement in normal years and yet the Britishers pushed these farmers to pay extra tax if they failed to pay their tax due to drought conditions. Such exploitative policies of British India Government were the sole reasons behind peasant movements.

The Movement of the Working Class

The growth of Industrial base in India in the late 19th century provided employment to thousands of people and led to the emergence of a new working class Indians. The working class Indian faced challenges of poor and unhygienic working conditions, low wages, long working hours etc. These conditions pushed the working class to fight for their rights against the government as well as the capitalist which gave rise to various movements of working class.

Decline of Mughal Empire

The Mughal Empire declined rapidly after Aurangzeb’s death in an early 18th century. The decline of Mughal was based on several causes and reasons that led to the downfall of mighty Mughal Empire.

Downfall and Decline of the Mughal Empire

  1. Weak successor’s post-Aurangzeb rule
  • Bahadur Shah I was 63 years of age when he ascended the throne and did not possess the energy to perform the states duties.
  • Rulers like Jahandar Shah, Muhammad Shah, and Ahmad Shah etc were other incompetent rulers.
  1. Continuous war of succession
  • No law of succession was followed.
  • Hence there was a war for the throne.
  1. Invasion of Nadir Shah and Ahmed Shah Abdali
  • Nadir Shah looted Kohinoor
  1. Mughals neglected the Development of the Navy
  • Coast-line completely undefended.
  • This was exploited by the European.
  1. Empty treasury
  • The resources of Mughals were already drained due to policies of Aurangzeb.
  • Disintegration of empire followed thereafter.
  1. Aurangzeb’s faulty Deccan campaign
  • Aurangzeb exposed to incessant raiding districts in the Deccan in his conquest for expansion and greed for power.
  • Aurangzeb was unable to effectively assimilate the Maratha, Bidar, Gond etc. unlike Akbar who assimilated Rajputs within his kingdom.
  1. Degeneration of the Mughal Nobility
  • When the Mughals came to India, they were strong.
  • Too much of wealth and luxury made them lackadaisical.
  • Their harems became full and they had lot of wine for leisure.
  • They were not a match for the strong Marathas, Rajputs, and Sikhs etc.
  1. Had lost support from almost all
  • Bitter relations with Rajputs.
  • Even Jats, Sikhs, Marathas turned against them.
  • Huge disparity between rich and poor during 17th century and after.
  1. Challenge from regional powers
  • Mughal Empire was too large but due to weak successors proved dismal for the Mughal rule.
  • The provinces became independent and challenged the Mughals.
  • Independent states rose like Awadh, Hyderabad etc.
  1. Deterioration of land relations
  • Shahjahan and Aurangzeb opted for Jagirs and Paibaqi instead of paying directly from state treasury to the officials.
  • Jagirs refer to temporary allotment of lands to officials for their services which may be according to the satisfaction of the Emperor.
  • Paibaqi refers to revenue from reserved lands which were sent to the central treasury.
  • There was a constant clash of interest between the nobles and zamindars.
  1. Rise of the Marathas
  • Marathas consolidated their position in Western India
  • They started making plans for a greater Maharashtra empire.
  1. Lack of control over the bankers of the state
  • In contrast to their earlier policies, the bankers extended trade and credit transactions to newcomers, e.g., the Dutch and the English.
  1. Religious Policy of Aurangzeb
  • Aurangzeb alienated support of the Hindus by committing atrocities on them.
  • He imposed Jiziya on the Hindus.
  1. There was no good education
  • There was no practical training of the Mughal Mobility.
  • India lagged behind the world in the field of science and technology and the Mughal Ruling class remained blind to this development.
  • There were no modern weapons too hence.
  1. Widespread Corruption in the Administration
  • The nobles were shortsighted.
  • Corruption and inefficiency entered almost all branches of the public service.
  • The decline of the Mughal Empire was due to social, economic, political and institutional factors. Aurangzeb was both a victim of circumstances and he also created certain circumstances of which he became a victim.

Rise and fall of Maratha Empire

Marathas presented perhaps the most formidable challenge to Mughals both in Deccan and in the North. Under the leadership of Peshwas, the filled the political vacuum created by weakening Mughal Authority and extended their sway over Malwa, Gujrat and Rajputana by 1730s. Their position was challenged than in the third battle of Panipat (1761), but they continued to be a cause of worry for the East India Company for another half a century. Here, one may note that in 1772, the Marathas had escorted the emperor of Delhi Shah II to the throne who had not been allowed to enter the capital for twelve years. Then in 1788 Marathas under Mahadaji Scindhia recovered Delhi again for Mughals from the Rohillas. They played the role of kingmakers and continued to expand their dominions. Consolidation of Maratha power went hand in hand with the decline of Mughal power witnessed throughout the 18th century.

Rise of Maratha Empire

Maratha Empire began as a small kingdom in western India with Raigad as the capital and raised to prominence under its founder Shivaji, the legendary Maratha Chief who led Marathas against the Sultan of Bijapur (Adil Shahi Dynasty) to establish Hind- Swarajya (self-rule for Hindu people). In 1674, Shivaji was crowned as Chhatrapati (sovereign). Shivaji was succeeded by his son Sambhaji, who was captured by Aurangzeb’s forces in Deccan and executed while his son, Shahu was taken prisoner.  Shahu was released in 1707 by Bahadur Shah I and Marathas soon began to make their presence felt. The states of Satara and Kolhapur were now created and Shahu created the post of Sena-Karte (Organizer of Forces) and appointed Balaji Vishwanath to the post. This evolved later into the office of Peshwa (Prime Minister).

Following Factors led to the rise of Maratha Empire

Political Conditions

  • Mughal Invasion in Deccan and ensuing socio-economic backwardness was the primary reason for discontent in the region which created conditions ripe for a rebellion.
  • Another factor aiding Maratha rise was waning Mughal strength after Aurangzeb, factionalism within Mughal courts and divisions within nobility coupled with inept successors emboldened Marathas to strike northern regions and expand their territory.

Physical environment

Mountainous region and dense forests helped Marathas to adopt guerrilla tactics and provide the strong defense against Invaders.

Impregnable forts

Building of a number of forts on the mountains provided them stronger defense which Marathas used to their advantage against Mughal attacks.

Maratha Nationalism

The seeds for which were sowed through the call for social unity raised during Bhakti movement by leaders like Tukaram, Ramdas, Vaman Pandit and Eknath. This helped in unification of the Maratha Empire. The revivalist political ideology of Hind-Swarajya was a major driving force for Marathas.

Able leadership of Peshwas

  • Balaji Vishwanath’s (1713-20) sagacity and diplomacy helped in brokering peace with Delhi through Sayyid brothers. They also now got the right to collect Chauth and Sardeshmukhi.
  • Baji Rao I (1720-40) popularized the concept of Hindu- pad- padshahi and expanded Maratha Empire northwards. Under him Maratha military might become notable.

Administration under Shivaji

  • Maratha Empire under Shivaji extended to Maharashtra, Carnatic and Tamil Nadu.
  • Provinces were divided into Parganas and Parganas were further divided into villages.
  • To strengthen the administration Shivaji abolished the Jagir system and began giving cash salary to his officers. Though he abolished Jagirdari but gave land grants for temples and schools.
  • In his rule hereditary occupation of post was not allowed.
  • Shivaji did not encourage the Zamindari system.
  • Ashta Pradhan was the main axis of his administration. Eight prominent officials were collectively known as Ashta Pradhan.

They were-

  • Peshwa–He was the Prime minister of the king.
  • Amatya or Majumdar-He was Finance Minister.
  • Waq-i-Nawis–He worked as Home Minister.
  • Dabir or Samant-He looked after the work of the foreign department.
  • Sachiv-He conducted the official correspondence.
  • Pandit Rao–He was a religious officer.
  • Sar-i-Naubat or Senapati–He used to administer the army affairs.
  • Nyayadhish-He was the chief justice.
  • Maratha Empire was Confederacy of 5 big chiefs.
  • Peshwa – Poona
  • Gaekwad – Baroda
  • Bhonsle – Nagpur
  • Holkar – Indore
  • Sindhia – Gwalior
  • Judicial System
  • Shivaji’s judiciary was based upon the ancient Hindu laws. In the villages, the Panchayats settled the disputes.

Military

  • The regular army consisted of about 30000 to 40000 cavalry and they were given fixed salaries. Shivaji set up the Maratha navy in 1659. The most famous Maratha admiral was Kanhoji Angre (1669-1729).

Taxation System under Marathas

  • Chauth and Sardeshmukhi were two major taxes of Marathas. Chauth was 1/4 of the total revenue and it was an annual tax. Sardeshmukhi was realized by Shivaji, just 1/10 of total revenue on the basis that legally he was the Pramukh (Sardeshmukhi) or the head of all Deshmukhs.

Succession after Shivaji

  • After the death of Shivaji, two of Shivaji’s sons, first Shambhaji and then Rajaram, ruled briefly and fought with the Mughal army. In 1699, when Rajaram died, one of his queens, Tarabai, started to rule in the name of her infant son Shivaji II.

Maratha Empire in 18th Century

  • The Maratha kingdom was, however, certainly weakened at the start of 18th century due to various internal and external factors.
  • A full-scale civil war broke out between the forces of Shahu (grandson of Shivaji) and those of Tarabai (Rajaram’s widow).The loyalty of Maratha sardars and Deshmukhs kept on shifting from one block to another.
  • Since the time of Balaji Viswanath, the office of the Peshwa became powerful. He died in 1720 and was succeeded by his son Baji Rao, who was in power till 1740.
  • After the death of Baji Rao in 1740, Shahu appointed his son Balaji Bajirao (1740-1761) as Peshwa. This was indeed the peak period of Maratha glory.
  • In 1761, after the third battle of Panipat Madhav Rao became the Peshwa. In 1772, Madhav Rao died of consumption.
  • After the death of Madhav Rao, the struggle for power occurred between Raghunath Rao and Narayan Rao. In 1773 Narayan Rao was killed.
  • Madhav Rao Narayan succeeded his father Narayan Rao.
  • Raghunath Rao tried to capture power with the help of British. This led to the 1st Anglo- Maratha war.
  • Madhav Rao died in 1794. Baji Rao II, son of Raghunath Rao succeeded Madhav Rao.
  • At the end of 3rd Anglo- Maratha war Peshwa was dethroned and pensioned off while other Maratha states remained as subsidiary states.
  • Causes for the downfall of Maratha Empire

Military Losses

  • In the crucial Third Battle of Panipat, enormous loss of men and money for the Marathas occurred. They lost their best leaders in this war. The Maratha kingdom was shaken.
  • Soon, Marathas had to fight wars with the East India Company to retain their dominions. This too drained their coffers.

Political structure: Divisions within

  • The other reason for downfall of Maratha Empire was its own structure. Its nature was that of a confederacy where power was shared among the chiefs or sardars (Bhonsle, Holker etc).

Weak Revenue Administration

  • Marathas depended on the collection of Chauth and Sardeshmukhi and on their exploits from plunder and loot. They failed to develop an efficient system of revenue administration. New territories were conquered but much less focus was on the administration. Rulers were mainly interested in raising revenue from peasantry through taxation.

Weak Diplomacy

  • Marathas did not take the trouble to find out what was happening elsewhere and what their enemies were doing. There was no far-sighted statesmanship or effective strategy. They failed to cultivate alliances with forces around them.
  • Because of their actions and political ambitions in past Marathas did not get the support from Northern Regional Powers. As they interfered in internal affairs and levied huge fines and tributes upon Rajputana states. In case of Awadh, they made large territorial and monitorial claims. Further they levied heavy fines on Jat chiefs and also angered the Sikh chiefs.

Military expansion minus consolidation

  • Despite having made rapid territorial advances, Marathas did not consolidate themselves in the vast areas in northern and central India.

No progressivism

  • Maratha system of administration was along the lines of their predecessors. For instance feudal levies, land-grant system continued. As a result, Marathas eventually lost to the British who were more advanced politically as well as militarily.
  • In 1802, Peshwa Baji Rao II accepted subsidiary alliance by signing Treaty of Bassein. This marked the downfall of Maratha Empire. By 1818 the Maratha power was finally crushed and the great chiefs that represented it in central India submitted and accepted the over lordship of the East India Company.

Formation of Himalayas

The Himalayas are believed to have formed over 50 million years ago with the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate slid below the Eurasian plate, due to its density being higher, and in the process crumbling and buckling up the Eurasian plate into the various mountain ranges that are now a part of the Himalayas.

Ranges of Himalayas

The Himalayas are a series of parallel mountain ranges extending along the North-West to the South-East direction (known as the Strike of the Himalayas). These ranges are separated by longitudinal valleys. They include,

  • Trans-Himalayas
  • The Greater Himalayas or Himadri
  • The Lesser Himalayas or Himachal
  • Shiwalik or the Outer Himalayas
  • The Eastern Hills or Purvanchal

Trans Himalayas

  • They are made of the ocean sediments of the Tethys Sea which was consumed during the collision of Indian and Eurasian plate boundaries.
  • They include the ranges of Karakoram, Ladakh, and Zanskar.
  • Karakoram ranges have their one end originating from the Pamir Knot. Karakoram ranges hold the largest amounts of snow and ice among all of the Himalayan ranges. This is because they are situated in higher latitudes where the snow line (altitude above which there is permanent ice and snow cover).
  • The Karakoram is home to some of the largest glaciers such as Siachen (the second longest glacier outside of Polar Regions), Biafo (longest glacier outside of Polar Regions), Baltoro, Hispar, Trango etc.
  • They are home to some of the tallest peaks in the world such as Mt. K2/Godwin-Austin (8611m), Gasherbrum 1 (8080m), Broad Peak (8051m) etc.
  • Karakoram ranges have gaps in them, which are known as passes. Important among them are – Khunjerab Pass, Karakoram Pass, Sia La Pass, and Bilafond La Pass (immediately west of the Siachen glacier) etc.
  • Ladakh ranges are to the south-east of the Karakoram ranges. They separate the rivers Indus and Shyok (a tributary of Indus). Khardung La Pass (India’s highest motorable pass falls in these ranges). These ranges extend into China where they are known as the Kailash ranges. They include Mt. Kailash and Mansarovar Lake.
  • Pangong Tso (largest saline lake between India and China) and Spanggur Tso are the two saltwater lakes situated in these ranges.
  • To the south of the Ladakh, ranges are the Zanskar ranges, which are cut across by the Zanskar River. These ranges extend into Uttarakhand. They contain some prominent peaks like Mt. Kamet, Nanda Devi (a biosphere reserve) Kedarnath etc. Liphu Lekh Pass that leads to Mansarovar and Mt. Kailash forms a part of these ranges. Spiti Valley, Lahaul Valley, and Kinnaur Valley are also a part of these ranges.

Greater Himalayas 

  • They extend for about 2400 km, making them one of the longest-running fold mountain ranges in the world.
  • Of the 28 tallest peaks in the world (higher than 8000 m), 14 are situated in the Himadri.
  • Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Makalu etc. are a part of these ranges.
  • Some of the important passes of these ranges include Zojila Pass (connects Srinagar with Leh), Shipki La Pass, Burzil Pass, Nathu La Pass etc.
  • Important glaciers of these ranges include – Rongbuk glacier (largest in the Himadri), Gangotri, Zemu etc.
  • They are separated from the lesser Himalayas by longitudinal valleys which are filled with sediments. These are called the Doons. Prominent Doons include Paatli Dun, Chaukamba Dun, Dehra Dun etc.

Lesser Himalayas or the Himachal

  • They are divided into the Pir Panjal range and the Dhauladhar range
  • Pir Panjal range is the longest range of the lesser Himalayas. It is cut across by the Jhelum river, Chenab river. Famous passes of this range include – Pir Panjal Pass, Banihal Pass (connects Jammu and Srinagar)
  • Dhauladhar ranges are the extension of Pir Panjal into Himachal Pradesh. They are cut across by the river Ravi.
  • Mussoorie ranges are also a part of the lesser Himalayas. They divide the waters of Sutlej and Ganga

Shiwalik

Apart from these ranges, Himalayas are also divided on the basis of the regions in which they are found.

  • Kashmir Himalayas – they comprise they trans Himalayan ranges of Karakoram, Ladakh, Zanskar and the Pir Panjal range of the lesser Himalayas. The cold desert of Ladakh lies in between the Greater Himalayas and the Karakoram range. Kashmir Valley is located between the Greater Himalayas and the Pir Panjal range.
  • Himachal and Uttarakhand Himalayas – they comprise the ranges between river Ravi in the west and river Kali in the east. It is drained by the Indus and the Ganga river systems.
  • Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas – they are situated between rivers Kali and Teesta.
  • Arunachal Himalayas – they extend from the east of Bhutan Himalayas up to the Diphu pass in the east. Their orientation is from the southwest to the northeast direction, unlike the earlier ranges of the Himalayas. Some important rivers crossing these ranges include – Kameng, Subansiri, Dihang, Dibang, Lohit etc. Prominent hills of these ranges include the Dafla hills, Abor Hills, Mishmi hills etc. which are named after the ethnic communities residing in these hills.
  • Eastern Hills – They are aligned from the north to the south. They include the ranges of Patkai Bum, Naga hills, Manipur hills, Mizo/Lushai hills.

Important Features of the Himalayas

  • The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plate first happened on the Northwest corner. This resulted in a general Northwest to Southeast orientation to the Himalayas.
  • There are U-shaped bends in the Himalayan ranges at the northwest and southeast corners which are known as the Syntaxial bends.
  • The southern slopes of Himalayas (on the Indian side) are much steeper than the northern slopes (on the Chinese/Tibetan side).
  • Karewa – these are the glacial deposits comprising clay and rocks.  found in the Kashmir Himalayas and are useful for the cultivation of Zafron (a local variety of saffron)
  • Meandering Jhelum – meanders of a river are usually found in the plains with soft strata. But Jhelum is found meandering in the Kashmir Valley because of the base provided by an erstwhile larger lake. The Dal Lake in Kashmir is a remnant of the erstwhile lake.
  • Duns – longitudinal valleys which the Himadri and the Himachal ranges. These are filled with the deposits of rivers flowing down from the Himalayan ranges.
  • Bugyals – summer grasslands found in the upper reached of the Himalayas. These are used by the nomadic groups to herd their cattle in summers. The Valley of Flowers is a part of such grasslands, found in the Uttarakhand Himalayas
  • Darjeeling Himalayas are known for their Tea plantations, which came up because of their moderate slope, thick soil cover with good organic content and rainfall which is distributed throughout the year.
  • The Eastern hills are inhabited by tribal groups who practice Jhum cultivation.
  • Loktak lake – situated in Manipur, is surrounded by hills on all sides. It contains the only floating national park in the world viz., Keibul Lamjao National Park.

Ujjwala revolution-Important Topic For UPSC and PSC Exams

Background:

In our country, the poor have limited access to cooking gas (LPG). The spread of LPG cylinders has been predominantly in the urban and semi-urban areas with the coverage mostly in middle class and affluent households.

But there are serious health hazards associated with cooking based on fossil fuels. According to WHO estimates, about 5 lakh deaths in India alone due to unclean cooking fuels. Most of these premature deaths were due to non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer.

Indoor air pollution is also responsible for a significant number of acute respiratory illnesses in young children. According to experts, having an open fire in the kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.

Air pollution kills more Indians than any other risk factor with estimates ranging from 15 to 20 lakh premature deaths annually. Although outdoor air pollution garners most public attention, it is well-known in health circles that pollution from chulhas is about half of the problem because people in households are directly exposed to such pollution.

It is less well-understood, however, that the two are linked: One of the reasons India has such bad outdoor air pollution is that nearly 200 million households are still burning biomass every day for cooking. Solving the household dirty fuel problem will also help reduce the outdoor air problem, although not solve it on its own.

 

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY):

Providing LPG connections to BPL households will ensure universal coverage of cooking gas in the country. This measure empowered women and protect their health. It will reduce drudgery and the time spent on cooking. It will also provide employment for rural youth in the supply chain of cooking gas.

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana – Scheme for Providing Free LPG connections to Women from BPL Households.

This is the first time in the history of the country that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas would implement a welfare scheme benefitting crores of women belonging to the poorest households. Last month, the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) completed two years of operation.

 

What makes LPG adoption necessary?

About 75 crore Indians, especially women and girls, are exposed to severe household air pollution (HAP) from the use of solid fuels such as biomass, dung cakes and coal for cooking. A report from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare places HAP as the second leading risk factor contributing to India’s disease burden.

According to the World Health Organization, solid fuel use is responsible for about 13% of all mortality and morbidity in India (measured as Disability-Adjusted Life Years), and causes about 40% of all pulmonary disorders, nearly 30% of cataract incidences, and over 20% each of ischemic heart disease, lung cancer and lower respiratory infection.

 

Achievements of the PMUY:

Under the scheme, now 8 crore LPG connections are to be provided to BPL households. The identification of eligible BPL families will be made in consultation with the State Governments and the Union Territories.

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) aims to safeguard the health of women & children by providing them with a clean cooking fuel – LPG, so that they don’t have to compromise their health in smoky kitchens or wander in unsafe areas collecting firewood. The ambitious scheme also laid down a condition — that the LPG connections will be issued in the name of the women of the households.

Encouraged by the rapid release of connections, the central government revised the target and scope of the scheme to eight crore connections by March 2020.

Under the scheme, the union government bears the connection cost of ₹1,600 per connection, and each household pays about ₹1,500 for the stove and the first LPG cylinder. Centre to raise allocation for the project to ₹4,800 crore

 

Another reform that equally deserves applaud is Give it scheme. It is truly a social revolution that is happening in the country. More than one million people have given up there subsidy voluntarily since the “Give it up” initiative started.

With this it is possible that government can use these voluntary resources for synergising other schemes that are cash strapped or require more funds.

The DBT scheme which aims to directly transfer the subsidy to the beneficiary is another great initiative that is truly innovative and successful.

Linking the beneficiary’s bank account to his Aadhar number has prevented pilferage, avoided middlemen, and target subsidy to the original beneficiary, India which closely spends nearly 4-5 percent of its GDP in giving subsidies; the DBT scheme has been revolutionary in channelizing these precious resources to empower people.

 

Conclusion:

Truly smokeless kitchens can be realized only if the government follows up with measures that go beyond connections to actual usage of LPG. This may require concerted efforts cutting across Ministries beyond petroleum and natural gas and including those of health, rural development and women and child welfare.

Government needs to re-look at their connection focused approach, and should ensure adequate provisions for affordability, availability, and accountability.

The programme has been successful in introducing a sense of urgency into the transition to modern cooking fuels and disbursing connections. But it has been less successful in introducing a sustained change because of issues around affordability and reliability of LPG supply.

This will propel PMUY to achieve the desired objective of not only disbursing connections but making the LPG sector a real contributor to overcoming this deep-rooted challenge affecting energy access, health, and gender disparity. There needs to be a synergy in the Gas connection with the Electricity connection.

It is welcome that the government has recognised the importance of clean cooking energy with the launch of this mammoth scheme. However, we need to go beyond subsidising connections and fuel costs and focus on issues of cash flow, awareness, availability and administration. Only such a comprehensive approachwill help poor households have a better life.

(Notes) Coastline of India: Features and Importance

India has a long coastline of 6100 km along the mainland and 7516.6 Km coastline including the island groups Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep.

The Plateau of Peninsular India is fringed with narrow coastal plains. Raised beaches and wave-cut platforms above the watermark suggest that these coastal plains are essentially the emerged floors of the seas adjacent to the land. After the emergence of these lowlands, fluctuations in sea-level, though limited to small areas, have brought about some changes in the general surface features of the littoral.

     Importance of the long Indian Coastline

  1. Since coastal areas have an Equable climate, a long coastline means a large number of areas having a favourable climate with no extremities in temperature which is ideal for human development.
  2. Domination-It offers a long reach into the vast Indian Ocean.
  3. Trade-The long coastline has given India a number of natural ports and harbours. It has led to the development of oceanic trade.
  4. Marine Economy– A large coastline has offered India many rights on mining, oil exploration and natural gas in India’s Exclusive Economic Zone.
  5. Tourism- India’s coastal areas are endowed with abundant coastal and marine ecosystems that include a wide range of mangroves, coral reefs, estuaries and lagoons having a great tourism potential.
  6. Fishing- The long Indian coastline provides livelihood to the fishing community.
  7. Wind Energy- India’s coastal areas have a huge potential for on-shore wind energy farms.
  8. Strategic advantage-India is a gateway for many countries which are landlocked such as Nepal and Bhutan.

However, the long coastline also means India needs to invest a lot in securing its borders. Also, it makes India vulnerable to many disasters such as Cyclones and Tsunamis.

Western Coast of India

The west coast strip extends from Gujarat in the north to Kerala in the south including Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka.  The western coastal plains are an example of submerged coastal plain. It is believed that the city of Dwaraka which was once a part of the Indian mainland situated along the west coast is submerged under water. Because of this submergence, it is a narrow belt and provides natural conditions for the development of ports and harbours.

The western coastal plains in the north have a varied topography. There are marshes, lagoons, mud-flats, peninsulas, creeks, gulfs and islands.

The western coast is further divided into:

  1. Kachchh and Kathiawar coast
  2. Konkan coast
  3. Kanada coast
  4. Malabar coast

Kachchh and Kathiawar coast

Kachchh, formerly a gulf is now a vast desolate lowland formed due to the deposition of silt brought mainly by the Indus which drained into it in the past. Kachchh is made up of such Ranns. The area gets covered with shallow water in the monsoons. Kachchh is divided into Great Rann in the north and Little Rann in the east. Between Great Rann and Rocky mainland lies the Banni Plains. Kathiawar is situated to the south of Kachchh. The plains of Gujarat are made up of black soil.

Konkan coast

Konkan coast extends between Daman in the north to Goa in the south. The Konkan coast is characterised by subduction and erosional features. The lowlands in the region are marked by low hills separated by river courses which end in creeks and estuaries near the sea. In this region, rice and cashew are important crops.

Kanada coast

Kanada coast extends between Marmagao and Mangalore. The Kanada coast is narrow and indented. The region is rich in iron deposits.

Malabar coast

Malabar coast extends between Mangalore to Kanyakumari. The coastal plains here are relatively broad. There are lagoons in the area which run parallel to the coast in southern Kerala. These lagoons are called Kayal (backwaters) which receive the water of a large number of rivers before discharging that to the sea with which they are connected with narrow openings.  There has been slight emergence in this part of the western coast.

Eastern Coast of India

The east coast strip extends from the Bay of Bengal to the tip of the Eastern Ghats including the states of  Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The Eastern coastal plains are an example of emergent coastal plain and are broader than the western coastal plains. There are well-developed deltas in the eastern coast formed by the deposition of sediments from the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri. In East Coast, the continental shelf here extends up to 500 km into the sea, so it is difficult to develop good natural harbours and ports in this region.

The eastern coast is further divided into:

  1. Utkal coast
  2. Andhra coast
  3. Coromandel coast

Utkal coast

Utkal coast extends between Chilika Lake and Kolleru Lake. These coastal plains are much wider than the western coastal plains. The region is vastly affected by immense rainfall. It is also vulnerable to cyclones. In this region, rice, coconut and banana are widely cultivated.

Andhra coast

Andhra coast extends between Kolleru Lake and Pulicat Lake. The region is a basin area of two very important rivers- the Krishna and the Godavari. Due to this, the region is very fertile. These coastal plains are very wide.

Coromandel Coast

Coromandel coast extends between Pulicat Lake and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. This region remains dry in summer and receives rainfall in the winter from the north-east monsoons.

(Notes) Important Hill Ranges of India-Geography

  1. Aravalli hills
  2. Vindhyan range
  3. Satpura range
  4. Western Ghat
  5. Eastern Ghat

Aravalli hills

  • They originate in Gujarat (at Kalyanpur) and extend till Haryana. They terminate in the Delhi ridge.
  • They have a maximum extent of 800 km
  • They are old fold mountain ranges, one of the oldest tectonic mountains in the world.
  • Rocks that make up the Aravallis are more than 2 billion years old.
  • Unlike other fold mountains, Aravallis have an average elevation in the range of 400-600m only. This is because throughout their geological history they were subjected to the processes of weathering and erosion.
  • Only a few peaks reach an elevation of above 1000m. These include – Mt. Gurushikhar (1722m, the highest point of Aravallis), Mt.Abu (1158m, it’s part of a plateau).
  • Geologically, they are mainly made up of Dharwad igneous and metamorphic rocks.
  • They contain the largest marble deposits in India.
  • Rivers Banas, Luni, Sabarmati are born in Aravallis. Banas is a tributary of Chambal. Luni is an ephemeral river which terminates in the Rann of Kutchch.
  • They contain several passes that cut through them, especially between Udaipur and Ajmer like Palghat, Dewar, Desuri etc.
  • They also contain several lakes such as Lake Sambhar (largest inland saline water body in India), Lake Dhebar (south of Aravallis), Lake Jaisamand (in the Jaisamand wildlife sanctuary) etc.

Vindhyan range

  • These are non-tectonic mountains; they were formed not because of plate collision but because of the downward faulting of the Narmada Rift Valley (NRV) to their south.
  • They extend for 1200km from Bharuch in Gujarat to Sasaram in Bihar.
  • Geologically, they are younger than Aravallis and Satpura hills.
  • Their average height is in the range of 300-650m.
  • They are made up of older Proterozoic rocks. They are cut across by Kimberlitic piles (diamond deposits)
  • They are known by local names such as Panna, Kaimur, and Rewa etc.
  • They rise from the NRV in the form of steep, sharp slopes called the escarpments. These escarpments are well developed in Kaimur and Panna regions.

Satpura range

  • Satpura range is a combination of Satpura, Mahadeo, and Maikala hills.
  • Satpura hills are tectonic mountains, formed about 1.6 billion years ago, as a result of folding and structural uplift. They are a Horst landform.
  • They run for a distance of about 900km.
  • Mahadeo hills lie to the east of Satpura hills. Pachmarhi is the highest point of the Satpura range. Dhupgarh (1350m) is the highest peak of Pachmarhi.
  • Maikala hills lie to the east of Mahadeo hills. Amarkantak plateau is a part of the Maikala hills. It is about 1127m.
  • The plateau has the drainage systems of Narmada and Son; hence it has drainage into the Bay of Bengal as well as Arabian sea.
  • These are mostly situated in the States of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
  • These hills are rich in bauxite, due to the presence of Gondwana rocks.
  • Dhuandhar waterfalls over the Narmada is situated MP.

Western Ghats

  • They extend between Diu island near Gujarat to Kanyakumari in the south.
  • They form the western edge of the Deccan plateau.
  • They appear to be rising abruptly from the west coast plains to an altitude of 1km from the mean sea level.
  • They have a gentle slope towards their eastern edge, from the Deccan plateau, and don’t appear to be a tall range of hills.
  • They were formed due to faulting along the western edge of the Deccan plateau, during the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. This led to the submergence of the western coast, as well as an abrupt escarpment of the Western Ghats along the plateau’s western edge.
  • They are divided into three sections – northern section, middle section, and southern section.

Northern section

  • The Western Ghats of this section is also known as the Sahyadris. They are located in Maharashtra.
  • The average elevation of Sahyadris is 1200m above the mean sea level.
  • Sahyadris are made of volcanic igneous rocks (basalt). Hence they are geologically younger than the rocks in the other sections of the Western Ghats.
  • Mahabaleshwar plateau is the highest region of the Sahyadris. River Krishna has its origin from this plateau.
  • Important peaks of the Sahyadris include – Kalasubai peak (1.64km, the tallest peak of the Sahyadris), Salher peak (1.56km), Harischandragarh peak (1.4km) etc.
  • Sahyadris give rise to more number of large rivers, relatively than any other section of the Ghats. Hence they form the most important watershed of south India.
  • Some of the important passes of this section include the Thalghat gap (the route between Mumbai and Nashik passes through this) and Bhorghta gap (the route between Mumbai and Pune passes through this)

Middle section

  • This section runs through the States of Karnataka and Goa. It terminates in the Nilgiri, where it joins the Eastern Ghats.
  • Bababudan hills of Karnataka are a part of this section. They are famous for their coffee plantations. River Tungabhadra has one of its originating streams (Bhadra) coming from these hills.
  • They are made of igneous and metamorphic rocks like the granite and gneiss.
  • They have dense forests and a number of short streams originate from them. This resulted in a headward erosion of these hills, leaving many gaps in the ranges.
  • Their average elevation is around 1200m. They include prominent peaks such as the Vavulmala (2339m), Kudremukh (1892m), Pushpagiri (1714m) etc.
  • Nilgiri are the prominent hills of this section. They rise abruptly at the trijunction of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala to a height of up to 2000m. The highest hills of Nilgiri are the Ootacamund hills. Doda betta (2630m) is the highest peak in the Nilgiri.
  • Nilgiri are Block Mountains, they rose between two faults and are hence considered to be Horst landforms.

Southern section

  • This includes the hill ranges of Annamalai and Cardamom.
  • Palghat gap (Palakkad gap) is the largest gap in the Western Ghats (about 24km wide). It separates the Nilgiri from the Annamalai hills.
  • Anaimudi peak (2690m) is the highest point of Annamalai hills, also the highest point of peninsular India. Palani hills are a part of the Annamalai range. They are made of Dharwad igneous rocks. Kodaikanal hill station is a part of the Palani hills.
  • Cardamom hills are to the south of Annamalai hills and are separated from them by the Shenkottai pass. Also known as Anaimalai, these hills are famous for Cardamom cultivation.
  • Periyar River originates close to the Annamalai hills and flows into the Arabian Sea.
  • Varushnad hills are a part of the Cardamom hills. River Vaigai originates here.
  • Agasthamalai hills are the southernmost section of the Western Ghats. Situated in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Agasthamalai peak is the southernmost peak of peninsular India.

Eastern Ghats

  • They extend between the rivers Mahanadi and Vaigai.
  • They are mainly composed of Dharwad igneous and metamorphic rocks.
  • Unlike the Western Ghats, these are low lying hills. They are a discontinuous mountain range, unlike the Western Ghats.
  • They comprise a series of discontinuous hill ranges such as – Odisha hills (Maliya hills), Nallamala hills, Palakonda hills, Velikonda hills, Javadi hills, and Shevaroy hills.
  • Mahendragiri peak (1501m) is the highest point of Odisha hills.
  • Between Odisha hills and the Godavari basin, there are some prominent hill ranges such as the Madugula Konda range. It has an average elevation in the range of 900-1100m It has some of the highest peaks of the Eastern Ghats like the Jindhagada peak (1690m), Arma Konda (1680m), Gali Konda (1643m) etc
  • They almost absent between Madugula Konda range and Nallamala hills. This region is made up of the Godavari-Krishna delta.
  • Nallamala hills are situated in Andhra Pradesh. They are made up of Proterozoic sedimentary rocks. Their average elevation is in the range of 600-850m.
  • To their south are the Velikonda hills, Palakonda hills, and the Seshachalam range in Andhra Pradesh.
  • Javadi hills and Shevaroy hills are situated in Tamil Nadu. To the south, Eastern Ghats merge with the Western Ghats at the Nilgiri.

(Notes) Peninsular Plateau of India

The peninsular plateau is a part of the peninsular Indian landmass that is surrounded by seas. Most of the peninsular landmass is a plateau. It’s an uplifted block called the Horst, created by two faults in the west and east coasts. It is triangular in shape with its three corners at:

  • Bharuch in Gujarat on the west
  • Rajmahal hills on the east
  • Kanyakumari in the south

The Narmada – Son – Damodar rift valley runs across the peninsular landmass cutting it into two parts viz., the Central Highlands in the north, and the Deccan Plateau in the south.

Peninsular Plateau

The peninsular plateau is divided into various regional landmasses based on the local topography and their geographical location. They include:

  • Malwa plateau
  • Bundelkhand plateau
  • Bagelkhand plateau
  • Madhya Bharat Pathar
  • Kathiawar plateau
  • Chhotanagpur plateau
  • Meghalaya plateau
  • Deccan plateau

Malwa plateau

  • Located immediately to the east of the Aravallis, most of the plateau is situated in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan
  • Narmada Rift Valley is the most prominent structure of this plateau
  • It has the drainage systems of the Bay of Bengal (Chambal, Sindh, Betwa, Parbati join the Yamuna, which in turn joins the Ganga) and the Arabian Sea (Narmada, Tapti, Mahi).
  • The average elevation of the plateau is 500m with a gentle slope towards the north.
  • Geologically, it’s among India’s most diverse landmasses with Dharwad rocks, Vindhyan rocks, Gondwana rocks, and Volcanic Basalt being found within it.
  • It has semi-arid to arid type of climate. Short spells of rainfall occur due to convection which gives rise to temporary streams. In the absence of dense vegetation, these streams remove the topsoil giving rise to narrow valley type of structures known as Gullies. Gullies deepen eventually to form Ravines.
  • Ravine-Gully erosion turns the landform into a Badland, not suitable for agriculture. Chambal’s drainage basin is abundant with such Badland topography.

Bundelkhand plateau

  • Lies to the east of Malwa plateau, and is situated in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
  • Situated over the Ganga basin, made up of granite and gneiss rocks
  • The average elevation of the plateau is in the range of 300-600m.
  • It has a drainage system into the Bay of Bengal.
  • Along the Betwa floodplains, there are badlands which make the region unfit for agriculture.

Bagelkhand plateau

  • It is situated in three States – UP, MP, and Chhattisgarh
  • Son river drains the region, on which the Rihand Dam and Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar reservoir (largest manmade lake in India) were built.
  • The plateau contains Dharwad and Gondwana rocks.
  • It separates the Ganga basin from the Mahanadi basin.

Madhya Bharat Pathar

  • Also known as the Central Highland
  • It contains the drainage of river Chambal which flows in a rift valley. Kali-Sindh, Banas, and Parbati are the tributaries of Chambal which also drain the region.
  • It lies to the east of Marwar upland

Kathiawar plateau

  • Located in the Kathiawar region of Gujarat, this region has many pipe-like volcanic openings which gave rise to many hill ranges such as the Girnar range, Junagarh range, Pavagarh range etc.
  • Lake Nalsarovar, which is a bird sanctuary, forms the Northeast boundary of the plateau.
  • Little Rann is situated to the north of Kathiwar plateau.
  • It has some volcanic rocks in the form of Mandav hills and Balda hills.
  • Girnar is the highest point of Kathiawar plateau.

Chota Nagpur plateau (CNP)

  • It’s a continental plateau, with Himalayas (Shiwalik) to its north, and having the drainage systems of Damodar, Subarnarekha, North Koel, and South Koel which empty into the Bay of Bengal. Himalayan uplift resulted in the down buckling of the plateau which created a trough in which the alluvial sediments from the Himalayan Rivers got deposited. This includes the present day Ganga basin.
  • Its average elevation is in the range of 600-700 m above the mean sea level.
  • The plateau covers the States of Jharkhand, parts of Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha.
  • Geologically, the plateau is made up of Dharwad (igneous and metamorphic) rocks, mostly granite and gneiss.
  • Damodar rift valley (DRV) is the most prominent structure of this plateau. Gondwana rocks are found in the rift valley, which resulted in some of the richest coal deposits of India viz., the Damodar Valley Coal Fields.
  • Dalmia Hills and Dhanjor hills, which are among the oldest volcanic hills in India, are a part of the plateau.
  • The region comprised of alternate soft and hard rock strata. This resulted in the differential weathering and erosion of the soft rock strata, leaving the hard rock strata. Such a topography is known as the Patland.
  • The Damodar rift valley divides the plateau into two parts. The Patlands south of DRV constitute the Ranchi plateau, and the Patlands north of DRV make up the Hazaribagh plateau.
  • Due to intense weathering and erosion, CNP is covered with laterite soils.
  • CNP is among the richest mineralized zones of India. Many important industrial centres such as Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Sindri, Lohar Darga, Ranchi etc. are located in this region.
  • Rajmahal hills form the eastern edge of the CNP.

Meghalaya plateau

  • Also known as the Shillong plateau, it’s a part of the peninsular plateau but is separated from it by the Malda trough/Rajmahal-Garo gap.
  • It is made up of Dharwad and Gondwana rocks. It is rich in coal fields (Bapung coal fields of Meghalaya) and also in nuclear minerals (Uranium deposits of Domiasiat mines in Meghalaya)
  • Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia hills form the southern edges of the plateau.
  • Its average elevation is about 1500m above the mean sea level.
  • Brahmaputra’s basin is to the north of the plateau. River Surma enters the plateau from Assam and joins the river Meghna in Bangladesh.
  • Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, located in the Khasi hills, are the wettest places in India and are a part of the plateau.

Deccan plateau

  • It is the largest plateau in India, covering an area of around 5 lakh sq.km
  • It extends into the States of Maharashtra, Telangana, Northern Karnataka, and Kathiawar region of Gujarat
  • It is volcanic plateau formed after the solidification of basaltic lava which has flown over the region in layers forming a step-like topography known as the Deccan Traps.
  • Deccan Traps have the highest thickness in the west and gradually slope towards the east.
  • The western edge of the plateau is made up hills with steeping slopes to the west, known as the Sahyadris. They are a part of the Western Ghats.
  • The plateau comprises several hill ranges such as the Balaghat hills, Ajanta hills etc.
  • Gaps in these hill ranges are known as passes. For example, the Bhorghat pass connects Mumbai and Pune.
  • The southern extensions of Deccan plateau are known by their regional names such as the Telangana plateau and Karnataka plateau

Telangana plateau

  • It is made up of Dharwad rocks. Gondwana rocks are also found in the Godavari valley, famous for its coal fields.
  • Godavari, Krishna, and Penna are the major rivers flowing through the plateau.
  • Because of the Dharwad rock strata, the plateau is rich in mineral resources.
  • The plateau receives good rainfall (average of 100mm/year), similar to the CNP.
  • It’s considered to be a Peneplains i.e., a vast featureless, undulating plain.
  • The average elevation of the plateau is in the range of 500-600m above the mean sea level

Karnataka plateau

  • Also known as the Mysore plateau.
  • The average elevation of the plateau is in the range of 600-900m.
  • The plateau has two major divisions viz., Malnad and Maidan
  • Malnad is a hilly region covered with dense forests. Maidan is a rolling plain with low lying hills.
  • The plateau is drained by numerous streams and rivers flowing from the Western Ghats.
  • The plateau tapers to the south, in between the Western and the Eastern Ghats, and merges with the Nilgiri.

(Notes) Geography Of India-Formation of Himalayas

Formation of Himalayas

The Himalayas are believed to have formed over 50 million years ago with the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate slid below the Eurasian plate, due to its density being higher, and in the process crumbling and buckling up the Eurasian plate into the various mountain ranges that are now a part of the Himalayas.

Ranges of Himalayas

The Himalayas are a series of parallel mountain ranges extending along the North-West to the South-East direction (known as the Strike of the Himalayas). These ranges are separated by longitudinal valleys. They include,

  • Trans-Himalayas
  • The Greater Himalayas or Himadri
  • The Lesser Himalayas or Himachal
  • Shiwalik or the Outer Himalayas
  • The Eastern Hills or Purvanchal

Trans Himalayas

 

 

  • They are made of the ocean sediments of the Tethys Sea which was consumed during the collision of Indian and Eurasian plate boundaries.
  • They include the ranges of Karakoram, Ladakh, and Zanskar.
  • Karakoram ranges have their one end originating from the Pamir Knot. Karakoram ranges hold the largest amounts of snow and ice among all of the Himalayan ranges. This is because they are situated in higher latitudes where the snow line (altitude above which there is permanent ice and snow cover).
  • The Karakoram is home to some of the largest glaciers such as Siachen (the second longest glacier outside of Polar Regions), Biafo (longest glacier outside of Polar Regions), Baltoro, Hispar, Trango etc.
  • They are home to some of the tallest peaks in the world such as Mt. K2/Godwin-Austin (8611m), Gasherbrum 1 (8080m), Broad Peak (8051m) etc.
  • Karakoram ranges have gaps in them, which are known as passes. Important among them are – Khunjerab Pass, Karakoram Pass, Sia La Pass, and Bilafond La Pass (immediately west of the Siachen glacier) etc.
  • Ladakh ranges are to the south-east of the Karakoram ranges. They separate the rivers Indus and Shyok (a tributary of Indus). Khardung La Pass (India’s highest motorable pass falls in these ranges). These ranges extend into China where they are known as the Kailash ranges. They include Mt. Kailash and Mansarovar Lake.
  • Pangong Tso (largest saline lake between India and China) and Spanggur Tso are the two saltwater lakes situated in these ranges.
  • To the south of the Ladakh, ranges are the Zanskar ranges, which are cut across by the Zanskar River. These ranges extend into Uttarakhand. They contain some prominent peaks like Mt. Kamet, Nanda Devi (a biosphere reserve) Kedarnath etc. Liphu Lekh Pass that leads to Mansarovar and Mt. Kailash forms a part of these ranges. Spiti Valley, Lahaul Valley, and Kinnaur Valley are also a part of these ranges.

Greater Himalayas 

  • They extend for about 2400 km, making them one of the longest-running fold mountain ranges in the world.
  • Of the 28 tallest peaks in the world (higher than 8000 m), 14 are situated in the Himadri.
  • Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Makalu etc. are a part of these ranges.
  • Some of the important passes of these ranges include Zojila Pass (connects Srinagar with Leh), Shipki La Pass, Burzil Pass, Nathu La Pass etc.
  • Important glaciers of these ranges include – Rongbuk glacier (largest in the Himadri), Gangotri, Zemu etc.
  • They are separated from the lesser Himalayas by longitudinal valleys which are filled with sediments. These are called the Doons. Prominent Doons include Paatli Dun, Chaukamba Dun, Dehra Dun etc.
Lesser Himalayas or the Himachal
  • They are divided into the Pir Panjal range and the Dhauladhar range
  • Pir Panjal range is the longest range of the lesser Himalayas. It is cut across by the Jhelum river, Chenab river. Famous passes of this range include – Pir Panjal Pass, Banihal Pass (connects Jammu and Srinagar)
  • Dhauladhar ranges are the extension of Pir Panjal into Himachal Pradesh. They are cut across by the river Ravi.
  • Mussoorie ranges are also a part of the lesser Himalayas. They divide the waters of Sutlej and Ganga
Shiwalik
  • Also known as the outer Himalayas, they are known by different names in different places. For example, they are called Jammu hills in Jammu, Dudhwa ranges in Uttarakhand, Darjeeling hills in West Bengal etc.
  • River Teesta cuts across these ranges in Sikkim.
  • Beyond Sikkim, these ranges merge with the lesser Himalayas.

Apart from these ranges, Himalayas are also divided on the basis of the regions in which they are found.

  • Kashmir Himalayas – they comprise they trans Himalayan ranges of Karakoram, Ladakh, Zanskar and the Pir Panjal range of the lesser Himalayas. The cold desert of Ladakh lies in between the Greater Himalayas and the Karakoram range. Kashmir Valley is located between the Greater Himalayas and the Pir Panjal range.
  • Himachal and Uttarakhand Himalayas – they comprise the ranges between river Ravi in the west and river Kali in the east. It is drained by the Indus and the Ganga river systems.
  • Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas – they are situated between rivers Kali and Teesta.
  • Arunachal Himalayas – they extend from the east of Bhutan Himalayas up to the Diphu pass in the east. Their orientation is from the southwest to the northeast direction, unlike the earlier ranges of the Himalayas. Some important rivers crossing these ranges include – Kameng, Subansiri, Dihang, Dibang, Lohit etc. Prominent hills of these ranges include the Dafla hills, Abor Hills, Mishmi hills etc. which are named after the ethnic communities residing in these hills.
  • Eastern Hills – They are aligned from the north to the south. They include the ranges of Patkai Bum, Naga hills, Manipur hills, Mizo/Lushai hills.

Important Features of the Himalayas
