Before the sixteenth century, the Indian Ocean had known for a bustling trade, with goods, people, knowledge, customs etc. cross-crossing its waters. The Indian subcontinent was central to these flows and a crucial point in their networks. However the entry of Europeans helped expand or redirect some of these flows towards Europe. 3. With the discovery of America, its vast lands, abundant crops and minerals transformed trade and lives every where in the world. Precious metals, particularly silver, from mines located in present day Peru and Mexico enhanced Europe’s wealth and financed its trade with Asia. Legends spread in seventeenth century Europe about South America’s abundant wealth. Thus many expeditions were sent in search of El Dorado, the Tabled city of gold.

IV. SOURCE BASED QUESTIONS:
A. 1. Sustained uses of land without compatible techno-institutional changes have hindered the pace of agricultural development. 2. Sources of irrigation in our country is inadequate. 3. The right of inheritance had already lead to fragmentation of land holdings necessitating consolidation of holdings. 4. In the 1980s and 1990s, a comprehensive land development programme was initiated, which included both institutional and technical reforms.Provision for crop insurance against drought, flood, cyclone, fire and disease, establishment of Grameen banks, cooperative societies and banks for providing loan facilities to the farmers at lower rates of interest were someimportant steps in this direction. B. 1. The implementation of the land reform laws were lukewarm because after independence, many political parties came under the influence or control of those very zamindars and other wealthy sections of society. 2. One of the many aims of the land reforms was in eliminating middlemen entities such as the Zamindars and Jagirdars in order to bring the cultivator into a direct relationship with the government. 3. Overall, the impact of land reforms during the colonial period was mixed. While they did succeed in breaking down the feudal structures of the zamindari system and improving the economic conditions of small and marginal farmers, they were often implemented in a piecemeal and uneven manner.
