headed by the USA and the USSR respectively. Communist China quarreled with
the USSR towards the late 1950s, and, in 1969, they fought a brief war over a
territorial dispute.

for their own purposes. They got the promise of protection, weapons and
economic aid against their local rivals, mostly regional neighbours with whom they
had rivalries. The alliance systems led by the two superpowers, therefore,
threatened to divide the entire world into two camps. This division happened first
in Europe. Most countries of Western Europe sided with the US and those of
Eastern Europe joined the Soviet camp. That is why these were also called the
‘Western’ and the ‘Eastern’ alliances.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Just before Independence, it was announced by the British that with the end of
their rule over India, the paramountcy of the British crown over the Princely States
would also lapse. This meant that all these states, as many as 565 in all, would
become legally independent. The British government took the view that all these
states were free to join either India or Pakistan or remain independent if they so
wished. This decision was left not to the people but to the princely rulers of these
states. This was a very serious problem and could threaten the very existence of a
united India. The problems started very soon. First of all, the ruler of Travancore
announced that the state had decided on Independence. The Nizam of Hyderabad
made a similar announcement the next day. Rulers like the Nawab of Bhopal were
averse to joining the Constituent Assembly.
