Question
Prove with examples how sacred groves help in conservation of forests.
✓

Answer

Sacred groves are tracts of forests that have religious significance for a community and hence, are protected by the community. They are helpful to the environment because due to their religious significance, no logging or hunting activity takes place there. Hence, these forests remain in their pristine form providing a safe habitat to many animal species. Hence, the area around such sacred groves is protected from environmental degradation.

Study the given passage and answer the questions that follow:-The Independence Day Pledge, 26 January 1930.
‘We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Puma Swaraj or Complete Independence.’
