Answers
Answer:
Ans 3. 1) Historical research enables you to explore and explain the meanings, phases and characteristics of a phenomenon or process at a particular point of time in the past. We differentiate historical research as a research strategy from the research of history, which refers to research in the discipline of history.
2) According to Marxism, there are two main classes of people: The bourgeoisie controls the capital and means of production, and the proletariat provide the labour. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels say that for most of history, there has been a struggle between those two classes. This struggle is known as class struggle.
3) The policy of reservation of seats was brought in to provide equal opportunities to everyone in government jobs, higher educational institutes, legislatures etc. It was for the people belonging to the castes and tribes who have faced a lot of atrocities for a very long time.
Ans 4. 1)Bakhar is a historical document of the medieval period. It is important because it contains the history of kings, battles, great men, historical events and many more. It is considered to be a part of Marathi literature and is of various types, examples- Sabhasad Bakhar, Panipatachi Bakhar, etc.
2) Michel Foucault called his method, 'the archaeology of knowledge' Because he recognized the fact that history based on the chronological event is not the correct way to form history, it is about the changes or the transformation which takes place in the past which archaeology explains.
