III to Std. V as a part of ‘Environmental Studies’. From Std. VI History and Civics are included in the syllabi independently. Starting from Std. VI, these subjects appear as two separate sections of a single textbook. We are very happy to hand over to you, the ‘History and Political Science’ textbook for Std. Ten. The book is written with a view to ensure that students find the book easy to understand and enjoyable. We wish that along with gaining knowledge, you should also feel happy while studying. You will find coloured pictures added with this purpose in mind. So, read the lessons very carefully. If you have difficulty in understanding any part of the book, request your teachers and parents to explain it. The additional information appearing in special frames is meant to enhance your knowledge. Audio-visual material can be accessed through ‘App’ by using the Q.R.Code. This would certainly help you in your studies. If you make history your friend and study the book, you will definitely develop a deep interest in the subject. In this book, you will learn about ‘Applied History’ in the history section. Many people find interest in history as an exciting subject and a hobby. However, many have doubts about the necessity of including it in the school syllabi; availability of professional opportunities; if a student chooses to specialise in the subject, its usefulness in the student’s chosen field of career; etc. It is difficult to clear these doubts as there is a lack of enough information. This textbook provides this information. All aspects of the day-to-day life, all occupations and crafts have a particular history of their development. This textbook highlights the fact that knowledge of such history is useful in the enhancement of an individual’s occupational skills. The section of ‘Political Science’, is about the ‘Constitution of Indian’. Information regarding elections, the process of conducting them, main political parties at national and regional levels, their agenda, political and social movements that lead to healthy democracy and challenges faced by the Indian democracy is included in this book. Students of Std. Ten will soon be getting a right to vote. This information will prepare them for fulfilling this new role capably. Pune (Dr. Sunil Magar) Date : 18 March 2018, Gudhipadva Director Indian Solar Year : 27 Phalgun 1939 Maharashtra State Textbook Bureau  - For the Teachers - History is an awe-inspiring subject and many take it up as a hobby. However, many feel anxious about the need to include it in the school syllabi, career prospects if one chooses to specialise in it or if it would add value to one’s qualifications in his chosen field of career. Not enough information is available to help in overcoming this anxiety. So far, courses in ‘Method of History and Historiography’, ‘History of Historiography’, etc. were offered to students only at college and university level. They did not form a part of the school syllabi. Hence, two lessons in this book are devoted to historiography. While doing so the possible lack of clarity in student’s mind about the scientific method of history, is taken into consideration. History is not confined to narrating the stories of various dynasties and the battles fought by them or the stories of great warriors. From time to time, the history textbooks have strived to create awareness of this fact among school-going students. However, they did not have any opportunity to learn about the larger scope of history beyond political history and the relation of history with the present. The Std. Ten history syllabus is drawn with a special focus on this aspect. The lessons are also arranged with this view. Indeed, the day-to-day human transactions and history are closely related. A new branch of knowledge known as, ‘Applied History’ or ‘Public History’ has been developing since few decades. Universities in many countries are offering various courses in this field. This textbook tells us about this new discipline, as also about several available opportunities to professionals to enhance their qualifications by studying history and the increasing need for expert historians. The book also contains information about various courses in applied history and the institutions, which offer such courses. May it be about the day-to-day transactions or about occupational skills; every field has its own history. Knowledge of such history helps in the enhancement of one’s professional skills. This textbook strives to make this co-relationship between history and various professional fields. The students on the verge of starting college education face various questions regarding the choice of graduate programmes and proper decision making for selecting a career. Especially, students who aspire to specialise in history find very few informative inputs, which will guide and encourage them. This textbook has tried to overcome this shortcoming. It includes interesting information and suitable illustrations with this purpose in mind. The scope of school syllabi of ‘Civics’ and ‘Political Science’ is very exhaustive, which includes an array of topics starting with the introduction of social-political environment to international diplomatic relations and various political processes at national level. You will indeed fulfill the learning objectives while studying and teaching the textbook. However, it is also anticipated that the class interaction should not be limited to mere information. They should be linked with day-to-day events and happenings. There is no doubt that the Indian democracy is faced with many challenges but at the same time there are many traditions emerging, which would strengthen it. They can be taught objectively with the help of discussions and dialogues. For this to happen, opportunities should be made available to students forming small groups. The structure of this textbook will expose students to newer fields of knowledge. We believe that the teachers and parents would receive this book with full support.
