• * Colonialism = the policy or


practice of acquiring full or
partial political control over
another country, occupying it
with settlers, and exploiting it
economically.

• ** Disenchantment = a feeling
of disappointment about
someone or something you
previously respected or
admired; disillusionment.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

• The Industrial Revolution was the changeover to new


manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 onwards
to 1840 . This evolution included going from hand production
methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron
production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the
increasing use of steam power, and the development of machine
tools. It also comprised the change from wood and other bio-fuels
to coal. Textiles were the foremost industry of the Industrial
Revolution as it offers huge employment, value of output and
capital invested. It was observed that the textile industry was also
the first to use modern production methods
TOWARDS SECOND INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION

• The First Industrial Revolution progressed into the Second


Industrial Revolution in the transition years between 1840 and
1870, when technological and economic development
sustained with the increasing acceptance of steam transport
(steam-powered railways, boats and ships), the large-scale
manufacture of machine tools and the increasing use of
machinery in steam-powered factories.
SUMMARY

• The Britishers came to India with the objective of trade but they had gradually made plans to rule politically over Indian
subcontinent. They had used their political power to exploit the Indian merchants/workers and people. This policy of
having political power over a foreign country and exploiting their people economically is known as COLONIALISM.
• The Britishers made labour laws and policies to suit the interests of their own people and the businessmen of Europe.
They were not much bothered for the common man/laboures in India.
• * Industrial Revolution- started in 1760 onwards in Europe, the idea was to increase the production of goods/products
in factories and industries and move from hand-made goods to machine made goods. It would ultimately lead to large-
scale production
• Indians factories and industries hoped that this too will come to India soon as the british were ruling india at that time
but the implementation of Industrial Revolution in India was delayed and by that time there was gradual shift to Second
Industrial Revolution in Europe where more advanced form of technology and machines were deployed so that there is
more output and production in factories/industries. So the Indian factories/businesses were left behind as the
technological/machine advancements were delayed.
• Basically labour laws were used to protect the economic interests of the Britishers.
For example the Factories Act 1881.

Transitioning to online learning may seem like a seismic


shift. Here are some tips to help you settle into the new
system.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left everyone in a state of conflict. And nowhere is this more
manifest than in education. Despite the uncertainty and speculation surrounding it, e-learning
is here to stay and it is time for students to adapt to it. Below are six strategies that they can
adopt:

E-class vs. traditional

Don’t discriminate between online and traditional learning. Take notes during class. Hold
yourself accountable and push yourself to be more dedicated. Even though remote learning is
flexible, stick to a schedule. If you find it difficult to cope, work with a friend. Find the right
person to support and motivate you. Also, a bit of healthy competition between your friend
and you will bring out your best performance.

Stick to a schedule

Don’t fall victim to the vicious cycle of waking up late, sleeping late, and then waking up late
again. E-learning’s flexibility factor can be both favourable and fatal. The online class is as
difficult as a traditional class. So, ensure you don’t lag behind by creating a weekly and daily
study schedule, designating hours as per priority, setting deadlines for assignments, projects,
and self-study, and adhering to these diligently.

Social distance from social media

Remember when your worst nightmare was getting caught using a phone in class? Well, now
your worst nightmare is not having a phone, tablet, or laptop to attend your online classes.
The numerous notifications ranging from ‘New Releases on Netflix’ to ‘You were mentioned
in a comment’ can easily derail you from the study track. So mute, or better still, turn off
such notifications. Set designated hours for being on social media. If this doesn’t help, resort
to website blocking apps to help you focus during the stipulated study time.

Set up your study space

Even though e-learning is about flexibility, create a well-defined, neat, and organised space to
attend online classrooms and to study in. Ensure the space is as far away as possible from
your sleeping and entertainment spaces, as well as from foot traffic at home. Equip it with all
the essentials like study material to necessary technological support. Even though the class is
online, sit and behave as you would in a traditional class.

Participate actively

It is crucial to contribute your ideas to class discussions. This isn’t just about grades, but
about learning. Ask and answer questions, and actively engage. Collaborate with your peers
in brainstorming sessions for projects and sharing of resources. Try using apps to brainstorm
ideas.

Have a virtual social life

Social distancing and remote learning don’t mean you can’t have a social life. Do it virtually!
Building and maintaining your social network is especially critical in times like this, as your
peers are a steady source of ideas, support, and inspiration. Your friends will also appreciate
your help. Remember, it is all about having and maintaining a balance and let this only be a
recreation and not a complete distraction.

The transition to online learning is a seismic shift for everyone. If you feel overwhelmed,
keep these tips in mind and start by taking one step at a time. That is more than enough to
take you in the right direction.
