Besides Legislative Assembly there are other places (means) where opinions are expressed about the work of the government and action is demanded.
(i) The newspapers, T.V. channels and other organisations regularly talk about the government.
(ii) One such way is the Press Conference.
(iii) Large numbers of people from different newspapers come to the Press Conference.
(iv) The minister and some government officials explain the steps that the government has taken.
(v) There are many questions asked by news reporters at this meeting. These discussions are then reported in different newspapers.
(vi) In a democracy there are various ways through which people express their views and also take action.

There is a chain of market which links the producer to the buyer, but everyone does not benefit equally in the market.
The foreign business persons made huge profits. Compared to this, the garment exporters made moderate profits. Some people like small farmers (like Swapna), weavers, workers earn little. The profits made by the merchants or traders are somewhere in between. So everyone does not gain equally in the market. In democracy everybody has right to earn a fair wage for his work.
If people don't earn enough then they cannot think themselves as equal to others and cannot live with dignity.
The market offers people opportunities to work and earn fairly. But it is the people, who are rich powerful and have large establishments take away the maximum benefit. And the poor people, because of their dependence on the rich, are exploited in the market.

When water evaporates from land and different water bodies, it becomes water vapour. As the air gets warmer, its capacity to hold the water vapour increases. When the water vapour rises, it starts cooling. The water vapour condenses causing formation of droplets of water. When these droplets of water become too heavy to float in air, then they come down as precipitation in the form of either dew, rain, snow, sleet or hail.

All the ruling dynasties were based in a specific region. At the same time they tried to control the other areas. One particularly prized area was the city of Kanauj in the Ganga valley. For centuries, rulers belonging to the Curjara-Pratihara, Rashtrakuta and Pala dynasties fought for control over Kanauj. As there were three 'parties' in this long drawn conflict. Historians often describe it as the "tripartite struggle". Rulers also tried to demonstrate their power and resources by building large temples. When they attacked one another's kingdom; they often chose to target temples, which were sometimes extremely rich.

The Mughal empire in the seventeenth century and after:
(i) The administrative and military efficiency of the Mughal Empire led to great economic and commercial prosperity.
(ii) International travellers described it as the fabled land of wealth.
(iii) These visitors were also surprised at the state of extreme poverty that existed side by side.
(iv) The inequalities were glaring.
(a) Documents from the twentieth year of Shahjahan's reign say that the highest ranking mansabdar were only 445 in number out of a total of 8000.
(b) A mere 5.6 percent of the total number of mansabdars, received 61.5 percent of the total estimated revenue of the empire as salaries for themselves and their troopers.

Kings built temples to demonstrate their devotion to God and their power and wealth. It is not surprising that whenever they attacked one another's kingdoms, they often targeted these temples.
The early 9th century Pandyan king Shrimara Shrivallabha invaded Sri Lanka and defeated Sena I. According to a Buddhist monk and chronicler Dhamma Kitti, " he removed all the valuables" ... The statue of the Buddha made entirely of gold in various monasteries were all seized.
Similarly in the early 11th century, the Chola king Rajendra I built a Shiva temple in his capital and filled it with prized statues seized from defeated rulers.
Sultan Mahmud also destroyed Somnath temple, he there by tried to win credit as a great hero of Islam. In middle ages, most of the rulers displayed their political might and military success by attacking and looting the places of worship of defeated rulers.

Ecosystem is a system formed by the interaction of all living organisms with the physical and chemical factors of the environment in which they live, all linked by transfer of energy and materials.
All plants, animals and human beings depend on their immediate surroundings. This relation between the living organisms and their surroundings form an ecosystem. There could be an ecosystem of large rainforest, grassland, desert, mountain, lake, river, ocean and even small pond. All these components, help in the survival of life.

The city of Masulipatnam was centre of intense activity during the 17th century. Both the Dutch and the English East India Companies attempted to control this city as it became the most important port on the Andhra coast. Qutb Shahi rulers of Golconda imposed royal monopolies on the sale of textiles, spices and other items in order to prevent the trade passing into the hands of various East India Companies.
This led to a fierce competition among various trading groups like the Golconda nobles, Persian merchants, Telugu, Komati, Chettis and European traders. As a result, the city became populous and prosperous. 

Gates were opened to irrigate land and closed to store water for future use.

Many rulers described their achievements in Prashastis. One prashasti, written in Sanskrit was found in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) spoke highly about the success of Nagabhatta, a Pratihara King. It follows like this.
The king of Andhra, Saindhava (Sind), Vidarbha (Maharashtra) Kalinga (part of Orissa) fell before him even as he was a prince. 
He won a victory over Chakrayudha (the ruler of Kanauj). He defeated king of Vanga (Part of Bengal), Anarta (part of Gujarat), Malava (part of Madhya Pradesh), Kirata (forest peoples), Turushka (Turks), VatsaMatsya (both from North India).

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.
