The cloth is supplied to a garment-exporting factory by the Erode merchant, which is used to make shirts. The shirts will then be exported to the foreign buyers. Foreign buyers include the businessmen from US and Europe. They run a chain of stores on their own terms. They demand low prices from the supplier, high standards of quality and timely delivery. No defects or delay is entertained by the buyers. Hence, exporter puts all his efforts to fulfil the demands of foreign buyers.

(iii) Maximisation of profit.
(iv) Supply of garments to foreign buyers at a cheap price.

(iii) When local deities, gained the recognition of the Brahmanas, their images began to be honoured in temples.
(iv) The temples began to copy the double roofed or four roofed thatche huts.

The earth is made up of several concentric layers with one inside another just like an onion. The basic features of the interior of the earth are
(i) Crust It is the uppermost layer over the earth's surface which is the thinnest of all the layers. It is about 35 km on the continental masses and only 5 km on the ocean floors. The continental mass are made up of silica and alumina. It is thus called SiAl (Si-Silica and AI-Alumina). The oceanic crust mainly consists of Silica and Magnesium; it is therefore called SiMa (Si-Silica and Ma-Magnesium.
(ii) Mantle It is just beneath the crust which extends up to a depth of 2900 km below the crust.
(iii) Core The innermost layer is the core with a radius of about 3500 km. It is mainly made up of Nickel and Iron and is called NiFe (Ni-Nickel and Fe-Ferrous i.e. iron). The central core has very high temperature and pressure.
4.
The examples of growing up of children of Samoan islands and children of Madhya Pradesh clearly explain that there are many different ways of growing up. The societies start making differences between girls and boys from a very young age.
We ourselves have experienced this when we were given different categories of toys to play with. Boys were given cars, trains and girls were given dolls, kitchen sets, etc. Toys became a method of telling children that the two sexes have different futures. The distinction were made in smallest and everyday things like dressing of girls and boys, games they were allowed to play.
5.
The atmosphere is divided into five layers starting from the Earth's surface
(i) Troposphere Its average height is 13 km. The air we breathe exists here. Almost all the weather phenomena like rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur in this layer.
(ii) Stratosphere It lies above the troposphere which extends up to a height of 50 km. This layer is almost free from clouds and associated weather phenomenon, making conditions most ideal for flying aeroplanes. It contains a layer of ozone gas.
(iii) Mesosphere It lies above the stratosphere. It extends up to the height of 80 km. Meteorites burn up in this layer on entering from the space.
(iv) Thermosphere In thermosphere, temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height. Ionosphere is a part of this layer. It extends between 80-400 km. This layer helps in radio transmission. In fact, radio waves transmitted from the Earth are reflected back to the Earth by this layer.
(v) Exosphere This uppermost layer. This layer has very thin air. Light gases like helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.
6.
Muhammad Tughluq introduced many significant changes in his administrative system. In spite of all these changes his regime was a failure.
His major administrative failures were
(i) He campaigned into Kashmir but it proved a disastrous campaign. He then gave up plans to attack Transoxiana and disbanded his large army.
(ii) He shifted the residents of the old city to Daulatabad in the South. They resented collectively due to this.
(iii) In order to meet the expense of maintaining a large number of soldiers, levied additional taxes which increased the burden of the common man.
(iv) The famine in the Ganga-Yamuna belt led to widespread rebellion.
(v) People did not trust the token currency that was launched by Sultan. They saved their gold and silver coins and paid all their taxes to the state with the token currency. This cheap currency could also be counterfeited easily.
7.
Significant developments were noticed in the religious traditions of groups and people.
People started believing in the divine in a personal way and collectively as well.
Collective belief in super-natural agency religion got closely connected with the social and economic organisation of local groups and communities.
Important changes were seen in Hinduism worship of new deities. The temples were constructed with the help of rulers. Brahmanas were considered the uppermost caste and got patronage by rulers. The priests became a dominant caste in society.
The idea of Bhakti emerged and surfaced which made devotees more inclined towards deities.
