HELP!!
I want help with history. firstly, in a question about promotion of sindhi language (4 marks) do we need to give brief history? Marking schemes mentions this point: Goes back to 12th Century. So is it necessary to add it?
Secondly, there is a 14 mark question: Was the Industrial Revolution in Britain the most important reason why the British were able to take control of India between 1750 and 1850? Explain your answer.
Since the timeline says up to 1850, we shouldn't write about doctrine of lapse, whereas it is written in the marking scheme. So what would be the correct answer? And it would be great if anyone can provide me the answer to this question.

Firstly stop worrying about four mark questions. They are the easiest questions! If you write only 4 facts, you'll score 4 marks ! According to me there's no need to mention the history. Just mention the promotion steps like this:

"Sindhi, spoken in Sindh, has been nourished and nurtured through promotion and development since 1947. Sindhi literary board was set up in 1948 which had produced many books with coordination of poets like F.N Bux and G. Allone. Sindhi library in Karachi has helped Sindhi literature spread. Many folk writings have also been produced. Bazm-e-Talib-ul-Muola have been set up which translates books into Sindhi. After 1947 large numbers of Urdu speaking refugees were settled in Sindh. Sindhi- Speaking people feared their language and culture were being destroyed. After riots in 1972, in support of preserving their language and culture, the govt. guaranteed the special importance of the Sindhi language."

An answer like this would be enough to get 4/4 marks.

And as far the 14 mark question is concerned, you can give the events which are close to the time frame. Doctrine of lapse was in 1852, (very close to the upper limit of 1850) So you can give such events in your answer, there's no harm. But if you start giving events which were century later in the answer then that would be irrelevant.

The educational and religious reforms played a little role in the British take over. British started teaching them Western Ideas. When Children were taught this, they became more sympathetic to the British, as Thomas Babington Maucalay , hoped of teaching a class of Indians who would take on western values and would help them in governing other Indians.

Similarly, in religious reforms, British abandoned female infanticide, banned Suttee etc. These reforms were welcomed by the moderates as they were too cruel ways which were replaced by British. This earned them support from moderate Indians and aided in gripping their control of India. Even the Christian Missionaries taught young Indians Christianity which helped them in tightening their grip over India as youngster became pro-British as a result.

*But please note that these were not the most important factors. You can include them in your answer, but they must relate to the notion of the question as I have related them. You can get into Level 4 or 5 even without them as they didn't offer any direct help to British; mostly these reforms caused uproar in India.

How do i get the envelope by british council

when you fill the form, you give them your home address, whatever address you put there, they send the statement of entry (in an envelope) to that address. You'll get to know these trifling things yourself once you start doing it. They actually guide you dos and don'ts of each and everything.
