Question
What do you understand by ‘Open Door Policy?
✓

Answer

The United Stated of America adopted the open door policy in China. European powers made preparations for the partition of China in the 1890s. The USA felt that it would be left out. So the US proposed the “Open Door Policy” or “Me too policy”. It meant that no country should be discriminated against China by other countries. All countries would have equal trade rights in China. Britain also supported “Open Door Policy”.

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463–94), a humanist of Florence, wrote on the importance of debate in On the Dignity of Man (1486).
‘For [Plato and Aristotle] it was certain that, for the attainment of the knowledge of truth they were always seeking for themselves, nothing is better than to attend as often as possible the exercise of debate. For just as bodily energy is strengthened by gymnastic exercise, so beyond doubt in this wrestling-place of letters, as it were, energy of mind becomes far stronger and more vigorous.'

Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow: Islamic Calendar: The Hijri era was established during the caliphate of Umar, with the first year falling in 622 CE. A date in the Hijri calendar is followed by the letters AH. The Hijri year is a lunar year of 354 days, 12 months (Muharram to Dhul Hijja) of 29 or 30 days. Each day begins at sunset and each month with the sighting of the crescent moon. The Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year. Therefore, none of the Islamic religious festivals, including the Ramazan fast, Id and hajj, corresponds in any way to seasons. There is no easy way to match the dates in the Hijri calendar with the dates in the Gregorian calendar (established by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 CE). One can calculate the rough equivalents between the Islamic (H) and Gregorian Christian (C) years with the following formulae: $(\text{H}\times\frac{32}{33})+622=\text{C}$ $(\text{C}-622)\times\frac{33}{32}=\text{H}$Questions:
  1. When was Hijri era established?
  2. What do you know about Hijri year?
  3. What is the difference between Hijri year and the solar year?
  4. How can we calculate the rough equivalents between the Islamic (H) and Gregorian Christian (C) years.
