Q7 of 7 Page 150

Many movements were led against the rulers in the past. Do you find any movements taken up nowadays? If yes, what are they?

Yes, it is true that many movements were led against the rulers in the past but it is because of the various reasons which are:

● Earlier rulers tried to think of their own benefit by forcefully collecting high taxes from the poor people.


● Whatever decisions were made was not made according to the local population, but they mainly focused on their own gains.


● They ruled whenever they desired.


● They were insensitive to the grievances of the local people.


There are many other reasons which made common people resort to undertake movements against the selfish rulers in the past.


No, nowadays there are no such movements which take place. It is because we now have democratic form of government, elected representatives, government organisations, fundamental rights, etc which always considers that one should rule for the people.
