You have studied ‘History and Civics’ from Std. III to Std. V as a part of ‘Environmental Studies’. From Std. VI History and Civics are included in the syllabi independently. Starting from Std. VI, these subjects appear as two separate sections of a single textbook. We are very happy to hand over to you, the ‘History and Political Science’ textbook for Std. Ten.
The book is written with a view to ensuring that students find the book easy to understand and enjoyable. We wish that along with gaining knowledge, you should also feel happy while studying. You will find colored pictures added with this purpose in mind. So, read the lessons very carefully. If you have difficulty understanding any part of the book, request your teachers and parents to explain it. The additional information appearing in special frames is meant to enhance your knowledge. Audio-visual material can be accessed through the ‘App’ by using the Q.R.Code. This would certainly help you in your studies. If you make history your friend and study the book, you will definitely develop a deep interest in the subject.
In this book, you will learn about ‘Applied History’ in the history section. Many people find interest in history as an exciting subject and a hobby. However, many have doubts about the necessity of including it in the school syllabi; availability of professional opportunities; if a student chooses to specialize in the subject, its usefulness in the student’s chosen field of career; etc. It is difficult to clear these doubts as there is a lack of enough information. This textbook provides this information. All aspects of day-to-day life, all occupations and crafts have a particular history of their development. This textbook highlights the fact that knowledge of such history is useful in the enhancement of an individual’s occupational skills.
The section of ‘Political Science’, is about the ‘Constitution of Indian’. Information regarding elections, the process of conducting them, main political parties at national and regional levels, their agenda, political and social movements that lead to a healthy democracy, and challenges faced by the Indian democracy is included in this book. Students of Std. Ten will soon be getting a right to vote. This information will prepare them for fulfilling this new role capably.
