* Evergreen forasts are Located in western Ghats of Karnataka.
* Brazil is the largest country in south America.
Africa is known Dark continent. The worlds Largest desert sahara desert is
Located in Africa.
Ice covered continent - Antarctica.
Physical maps : It shows different Land Forms Like Plains, mountains, Pla-
teaus etc and depict the heights of places.
All the heights on the land are calculated from the sea level. All seas in the
world are connected to each other. A contour is a line Joining the places with
equal heights.
Maps showing heights help us to understand the nature of terrain, mountains,
valleys.
Maps showing heights are very essential when roads or dams have to be con-
structed.
Mean sea level (M.S.L) is calculated from the seal level all over the world.

2. RAIN AND RIVERS
71% of the earths surface is covered with water.
Change of water into vapour is known as evaporation. The process in which
water vapour changes into water is called condensation.
Humidity : The amount of invisible water vapour present in the atmosphere if
known as humidity. We perspire and the sweat does not evaporate quickly. We feel
sticky and such weather is called sultry.
Water cycle :- The process of water evaporating from the seas, forming clouds
in the sky, coming down as rain, flowing down the slopes on land in the form of rivers
and finally joining the sea is called the water cycle.
In India there are 2 types of monsoons.
1. South west Monsoon (June to Sep) Kharif season
2. North East Monson (October to December) Rabbi season)
Types of Monsoons :
1. Winds blow from. Arabian sea (South West)
2. Winds blow from. From Bay of Bengal (North East)
South west Monsoon sets around the beginning of June, the winds carring the
clouds reach Andhra Pradesh. These winds reach Rayalaseema districts of chittoor
and kurnool first. South West monsoon gives plenty of rainfall to A.P.
NORTH EAST MONSON :-
In the months from October to may cyclones form in the Bay of Bengal caus-
ing widespread rains in coastal and in land Andhra Pradesh. While these bring rains to
coastal regions, in October, December months and moderate rains in Rayalaseema
and Telangana districts. This is called North East monsoon or the return monsoon.

3. TANKS AND GROUND WATER
We have evidence of tanks built and used for agriculture from the times of the
Megaliths. The person who regulate the use of water from the tank is called Neerati
or Neeru katte manishi.
Ground water :- The water accumulates below the ground in the gaps be-
tween rocks, Pebbles, Sand etc This is called Ground water.
The layer of water which accumulates under the ground among rocks is called
aquifer.
Recharging Ground water :-
1. Grasses are planted on the hill slopes.
2. Planting trees.
3. Planting Saplings.
4. Increase the area under Forests.
5. Pit holes construction.

* Waves :- when the water on the surface of the ocean rises and Falls, they are
called waves.
* Currents :- In the Oceans, water is found to move from one part to another in
big stream. These streams which flow constantly in a definite direction on the
surface of the Ocean are called Ocean - currents.
The Ocean currents are of two types.
1. Warm currents.
2. Cold currents.
* Warm currents :- It flows from the equatoral region towards the poles.
* Cold currents:- It flow from the poles to the equatorial regions.
* These are mainly caused by the prevailing winds, differences in temperature and
salinity of the Ocean water.
* Tides :- Tides are the rhythmic rise and Fall in the level of the water in the Oceans
every day.
There two types tides...
1. high tide
2. Low tide.
* For every 24 hours 2 times high tides 2 times low tides Occured. It means for
every tide it took 6 hours. 4x6=24h.

* The caste headmen who determine customs and traditions of people is called
pillas. He even resolve disputes and impose fines. The money collected goes to
common good Fund.
* When the tide is high, water comes up to the coast for some distance. Then low
tide bigins, the water moves back from the land.
* Tides are of great help of Fishing.
* Tides at some places take away the mud brought down by rivers and prevent
silting.
* Now cotton nets have almost been replaced by plastic, Nylon and other synthetic
materials.

2. ENERGY FROM THE SUN
* Main Points :
* The sun is the prinicpal source of energy
* The energy constantly emitted by the sun is known as solar radiation.
* The solar radiation received on the surface of the Earth is called Insolation
* Plants and animals depend upon heat and water.
* We also receive many other forms of energy from the sun like UV rays, radio
waves, X rays.
* 1/3rd of solar energy is reflected back by the Earths atmosphere.
* The sun rays fall at about 900 on the Equator and fall slantingly towards the
poles. This is called Angle of Incidence.
* Land is considered as Good conductor of heat. While Land gets heated and
cooled quickly. Oceans will take heat and cool.
* Carbon dioxide prevents raditaton of heat from the Earth.
* Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases due to heay utilisation of defores-
tation etc...
* If co2 increases, less heat will be radiated which causes Global warming.
* Temperature is measured by Thermometer.
* The Lowest temperature is recorded in Antarctica, i.e. - 89.2 celsius. (Vostok)
* The Highest temperature is recorded in Azizia in Libya (Africa) i.e. 57.80c
* Boiling point of temperature is around 1000c
* Freezing point of temperature is 00c.
* The temperature cannot go below - 273.160c.
* The climate in Hyderabad will be extreme climate as it is far away from the
sea.
* Temperature decreases with elevation (height).
* Delhi is at an elevation of about 200 metres above from the sea level.
* Shimla is at an elevation of about 2276 metres above from sea level.
* So, temperature in shimla is lower than that of Delhi. So, Shimla is cooler
than Delhi.
* Usually for every 1000 metres increase in elevation, the temperature falls by
about 60c.

* Nigeria is situated on the Equator.
* Indonesia is located in Equatorial region.
* There is no winter season in Indonesia.
* The places near the equator, usually get more heat.
* The sun rises first in Arunachal Pradesh in our country.
* The Sun set last in Gujarath
* Japan is called as the Land of rising sun (Nippon).
* Norway is called as Land of Midnight sun
* We can grow fruits & vegetables in cold regions by building Green - houses.

10. LAND LORDS AND TENANTS UNDER
THE BRITISH AND THE NIZAM
* During the time of the mughal Emperors, on behalf of them the Zamindars
collected land revenue from the peasants. Zamindars houses were like small
forts called Gadi in Telangana.
* As revenue collectors, the Zamindars often acted as the intermediatries between
the government and the peasants.
* The zamindars also owned land on which the labourers worked on this, was
called self cultivated land or Khudkhashtlands.
* Land owners were called as land Lords. The peasants who cultivated these
lands were called tenantcultivators.
* The Zamindars had two aspects - collection of land revenue, Owning lands as
land lords.
* There were two kinds of peasants - those who were independent land Owning
cultivators paying land revenue through the Zamindar and those who were
tenants of the land lords.
* When the British gained control over India, they were keen to increase the
land revenue as much as possible to finance trade and wars.
* Peasants hold till more and more and land grow crops that were in demand in
the market cash crops that could be exported to England like cotton, Indigo,
Sugarcane, wheat etc.
* Zamindars were given the powers to collect the revenues agreed upon auc-
tions. It was called Zamindari settlement.
* Company introduced the permanent settlement in 1793 when Cornwallis was
the Governor General.
* They have to pass on 90% of the amount to the Government, retaining 10% as
collection charges.
* This settlement inadvertently converted all the peasants into the tenants.
* The Zamindars collected rent rather than revenue rent collected was much
higher than the revenue, the cultivators could not pay and deserted the lands.
Zamindars also suffered and became defaulters.
* Population was increasing rapidly the Zamindars could keep evicting peas-
ants and giving the land to new ones of highter rents.
* When he failed to pay the rent he was evicted from the land he had cultivated
for generations.
* The districts of Bellary, Anantapur, Kadapa and Kurnool were ceded to the
British by the Nizam.These are ceded Districts.
* Thomas Munro was appointed as the principal collector of these districts in
November 1800.
* Recognising the importance of the peasants he devised the Ryotwari settle-
ment which was introduced in south India and later in western India.
* The Ryotwari means peasant tenure.
* Under this settlement the peasants cultivating the land were identified, their
field was identified, survey number was given to every piece of land fixing
the legal ownership. 1801-02, Munro made necessary advances to this ryots
to purchase seeds, implements, bullocks, repair old wells.
* Many people migrated to south Africa, Maritius, Fiji and other places as coo-
lies.
* During the colonial period the peasants were forced to do vetti on the personal
land of the land lords. The soldiers were used to force them to do vetti.
* These Zamindars also tried to extract as much money as they could from the
peasants under a variety of pretexts.
* Under the Nizam rule Jagirdars, samsthanamdars, Inamdars are there.
* They collected revenue from the lands under them and gave a small part to the
Nizam as peshkash.
* About 1400 villages were directly under the Nizamas personal jagir called
Sarf -e- kahs.
* Nizams governmets set up new land revenue arrangement by which the gov-
ernment appointed officials to collect land revenue directly.
* The old land lords were compensated with an annual payment called rusum.
* The landlords expanded the scope of vetti or unpaid labour by forcing ordi-
nary peasants and village artisan and service castes to work on landlords
lands.
* Land lords who owned about one lakh acres like are visunri Ramachandra
Reddy and Jannareddy pratapa Reddy.
* The most severe famine known as the Ganjam famine occured during the
years 1865-66.
* The famous peasant movements were the Deccan riots of 1860s, Rampafituries
Moppila agitations. Due to the untiring efforts of Sir Arthur Cotton an anicut
across the Godavari river at Dhawaleshwsarm was completed in 1849.
* It brought immediate prosperity to the Godavari districts which had suffered
acutley from servere famine in 1833.
* An anicut was built over the Krishna river in Vijayawada in 1854. It brought
prosperity to the delta areas.

* After 1857 the Kurnool kadapa canal was built to bring water to the dry areas
of Rayalaseema.
* As price rose faster than the land revenue and the ryots found it more profit-
able to employ tenants to cultivate their lands and receive rent from them.
* Peasants were unable to pay and fled the country side .
* Peasants very often borrowed money from money lenders in order to pay their
land revenue.
* In 1861 there was civil war in America and British factories tumed to India for
supply of cotton.
* The civil war in the USA ended in 1865 and the demand for Indian cotton fell
and so did its price.
* Cotton that fetched 12 Annas per kilo in 1864 now fetched only 6 annas per
kilo.
* The ryots of Ganjam who had pinned their hopes on reaping huge profits from
cotton became paupers.

11. NATIONAL MOVEMENT
THE EARLY PHASE 1885-1919
* The Nationalmovement in India forms an important epoch in history.

* It helped to weld diverse people and sections of society into one nation.
* The revolt of 1857 in which the soldiers, ordinary peasants, artisans and land
lords and even princes joined this truggle against the British rule.
* With the growth of English education in some major cities like calcutta, Madras
and Bombay a new consiousness began to develop.
* The seeds of new conscionsness began in the second half of the 19th centary.
In 1866 Dadabhai Naraji Organized the fast India association in Landon to
discuss the Indian question.
* 1866-1885 various leaders like surendranath Banerjee, Justice M.G. Ramade,
Badruddin Tiyabji, K.C. Telang and G. Subramanyam organised associtions
in calcutta, pune, Bombay and Madras to dicuss the problems faced by Indians
in those provinces.
* These associations had nationlistic zeal and tried to unite intellectuals.
* They worked with the idea that the people should soverign a modern
conscionsness and a hey feature of nationalism.
* The first session of Indian National congress held at Bombay in Dec, 1885 it
was precided over the w.c. Benerjee and attended by 72 delegates from different
parts of India.
* The early leaders Dadhabai Nauroji, pherazeshah mehta, Badruddin Tyabji,
W.C. Banerjee, Surendranath Banerjee, Ramesh chandra Dutt, S. Subramaina
Iyer.
* A.O. Hume the retired British Official played an important role in Establishing
the congress.
* The leaders of the congress realized that thier task was to build a nationalist
conscionssness among the diverse people of India and writeunite them.
* The second major objective of the early congress was to create a common
paltical platform or programme around which palitical workers in different
parts of the country could gather and conduct their paltical activities, educating
and mobilizing people on all - India basis.
* The third major objective was to promote democreatic ideals and functioning
in India. The Indian national congrees functioned democreatically, discussing
all issued and trying to evalve consensus or sometimes voting also.
* At this stage the INC decided not to take up issues relaing to social reforms as
it would divide the Indian people. Reform was to be carried on through different
forams.
* In 1886, Delegates to the congress consists of 436 were elected by different
local organisations and groups indicating its popularity in one year.
* National congres met every year in December in different parts of the country.
* There were very few women like Kadambari Ganguli who was the first women
graduate from calcutta.
* During the first 20 years, the congress was led by the leaders who are known
as Moderate, Nationalists.
* Moderats urged the government to introduce a number of reforms.
* They demanded that Indians be placed in high positions in the government.
* For this purpose it called for Civilservice examinations to be held in India as
well, not just in London..
* Leaders like Naoroji, R.C. Dutt and Ranade studied the economic impact of
the British rule and concluded that the British were draining India of her wealth
through taxes. and other means and leaving her poorer and poorer.
* The British rule was standing in the way of development as they not only were
draining the wealth of India ot England but also enabling cheap selling of
British goods in india restrining Indian crafts and industries.
* The moderates adopted a policy of Pray, Petition and Protest (3Ps)
* Swadeshi Movement started in 1903. At the time the proposal for partitioning
of Bengal into East and west Bengal by curzon was major irigger forth
movement.
* There were massive protests, petitions and campaigns but they were not leeded
to and the govenement partitioned Bengal in 1905.
* Serveral protest meetings were held and a call was given for boy cotting english
cloth and salt.
* There was a tremendous mass response to this call.
* This spontaneous unity of diverse social groups is the of nationatism.
* People set up swadeshi schools and collegs and parallel courts in which they
settled their mutual dispates. The idea was to refuse to cooperate with the
government to run it and in this way undermince its position.
* The movement gasve a stimulus to P.C. Rajs Bengal chemical works and
encouraged Jamshedji Tata of Bombay to open his famous steel pland in Bihar.
* Bala Gangadhar Tilak gave the Famous slogan, Swaraj is my birth right and
I shall have it.
* The extremist nationalists led by Tilak, Bipin chandrapal and Lala Lajapati
Rai were in favour of extending the movement ot the rest of India and to
demand for full fledged freedom or swaraj.
* Extremists called the earlier strategy as mendicancy moderate leders wanted
to continue on a more gradual face of movement and felt that the masses were
yet not ready for a full scale movement.
* 1907 in surat session congress split into two.
* The government came down heavily upon the extremists and the activists of
the swaraj movement.
* Modern of the leaders like Tilak were imprisoned and exiled.
* In 1915 the movement revived again. Tilak came bakc from his exile and
joined hands with Annie besant to launch a movement for Home rule.
* Two fractions of the congress united again in 1916 through Lucknow pact.
* The first world was broke out in 1914. Britan, France, Russia on one side and
Germany and its allies on the other side it lasted for 5 years till Germany was
finally defeated.
* As the war ended of revolutions started in Europe.
* In India the war brought great suffering for the common people as the british
tried to raise funds and resources for the war by raising taxes, exporting food
and other necessities to the armies.
* This incrcased the discontent among the people against the British rule. Eevery
one expected that the Birtish will accept the just demands for democratic rule
in India and bring constituional reforms.
