Lets Wrap up Pakistan Studies and Islamiat, those who are appearing in May/June 2014 session

[Syed Mustafa.1.1]

This answer is correct, but I'm not sure if such questions can come.

Yeah.. I have the same opinion for it.
We just compiled the POSSIBLE 7 MARKS QUESTIONS..
and as I have gone through the past papers many times.. Ill advise to practice the 7 mark questions which came in the past papers. Its very rare in the last 3 years that a New Question is made of 7 marks. So just ignore such questions.
And yes uptill now No 4 MARK QUESTION is repeated so its most likely that it wont be repeated this time too.. So we can shortlist the questions which came uptill now.

How to answer the 'how successful questions? Like here is an example:
(c) How successful were the British attempts to take control of lands in the sub-continent
between 1750 and 1856?

I know that the answer has to hover over the annexation of lands by British, battles fought by British and the successes of Tipu Sultan, Ranjit Singh and local Nawabs.
But I have no idea how to arrange the successes and failures, should I go on as the events happened or mention the successes first and then failures? How should I solve the question in order to achieve the analytical and specific approach that the examiners now want in (c) part especially in these types of questions which involve successes and failures.

Since in this type of question they're asking how successful were the British, we would talk about successes and failures both. In the paragraph which you would mention the successes, describe them order wise, but don't give the complete details of every war or annexation because that would be a lot time consuming, just write down about them in a line or two by telling what happened in the war. Don't forget to write down about doctrine of lapse in the success too!
For failure, do it order wise as well. Like start from Tipu sultan's successes, then ranjit singh's opposition and what happened when they went to Afghanistan. Mention the Anglo mysorian wars in it as well.
And then give your evaluation. The successes and failures should be in separate paragraphs..

In the question: "Explain why did the Mughal Empire decline following the death of Aurangzeb?"
Will these points be okay?
-Royal family started fighting for power(succession dispute)
-administration of the empire weakened due to the successors being pleasure loving
-no development done (in this we'll talk about the British)

.You can also mention about rising Marathas and the British who were ready to gather the spoils of the empire.
.you can mention invasion of Nadir Shah in 1761
.And it can be mentioned that the mughal army expertise kept on declining untill it was no more an effective fighting force.

Why was the Bengal partitioned in 1905?

 

[fatima sheikh]

the main reason to choose urdu as a national language was its long association with muslims? (14)

In Islamiat what was event held after the migration [10].

There is whole Life in Madina..:/
I dont exectly got what you are asking..

 

[Syed Mustafa.1.1]

Why was the Bengal partitioned in 1905?

1. Geographical reasons.
2. great population
3. British were going to introduce reforms so they wanted to imply those reforms effectively in bengal as it was too large to maintain the efficiency of the reforms being introduced
4. to cut down the power of revivalist movements being generated in Bengal.

There's one more point. It is:
-to give power to the Conservative party as lord curzon was in it
