3 0449/01/M/J/10 © UCLES 2010 [Turn over Choose TWO of questions 2 to 4. Answer ALL parts of the two questions you choose. Question 2: The Mughal Period The Rule of the Mughals In 1526 the Sultan of Delhi was defeated in the Battle of Panipat and Mughal rule began in India. In time the Mughals had control over almost the whole of India, including Bengal. But the spread of their influence was hard-won. After their victory in 1526 they faced opposition to their rule from Nusrat Shah and Sher Shah who won a great victory over them in the Battle of Chausa in 1539. Further resistance came from the Bara Bhuiyans. By the beginning of the seventeenth century, however, the Mughals were firmly in control in Bengal and for the next hundred years Mughal power was at its height. But after the death of Aurangzeb the empire began to decline. When they granted the British trade concessions in 1620, the Mughals did not realise that they were helping the British move towards replacing them as rulers of India. Part (a) (i) Which ‘Sultan of Delhi was defeated in the Battle of Panipat’? (line 1) [1] (ii) How did Nusrat Shah die? [1] (iii) Which Mughal emperor did Sher Shah win ‘a great victory over’ in 1539? (line 4) [1] (iv) When was ‘the death of Aurangzeb’? (lines 7–8) [1] (v) Which Mughal emperor ‘granted the British trade concessions in 1620’? (lines 8–9) [1] Part (b) (i) Write what you know about the Bara Bhuiyans. [5] (ii) Why was Aurangzeb’s religious policy unpopular? [5] Part (c) Which of the following do you think made the most important contribution to the Mughal Empire? Explain your answer by writing about all three choices provided. [10] • Babur • Humayan • Jahangir 5 10

4 0449/01/M/J/10 © UCLES 2010 Question 3: The British Period Opposition to British Rule The British first came to the Indian sub-continent when the East India Company (EIC) arrived at Surat and made it a trade transit point in 1608. By 1633 the EIC had established a factory in Bengal and in 1690 the founding of Kolkata marked an important step on the road to gaining control of Bengal. The extension of British influence did not go unopposed. In 1757 the British had to defeat the Nawab of Bengal in the Battle of Palashi. After this they extended their control of Bengal and made huge profits. There was further resistance from leaders such as Titu Meer and groups such as the Faraizi Movement, but the British proved too powerful for them and British control continued. Then an uprising in Barrackpur in March 1857 led to the War of Independence. Part (a) (i) Which British monarch granted the EIC its charter in 1600? [1] (ii) Which person was responsible for ‘the founding of Kolkata’ in 1690? (line 3) [1] (iii) Which Nawab of Bengal was defeated ‘in the Battle of Palashi’? (line 6) [1] (iv) Who started the ‘Faraizi Movement’? (line 8) [1] (v) Who led the ‘uprising at Barrackpur in March 1857’? (line 10) [1] Part (b) (i) Write what you know about the impact of the War of Independence on the Muslims of the sub-continent. [5] (ii) Why did the Indians fail to win the War of Independence? [5] Part (c) Which of the following do you think was the most important reason for the outbreak of the War of Independence of 1857? Explain your answer by writing about all three choices provided. [10] • Attempts to introduce British culture • Mistreatment of sepoys • The Doctrine of Lapse 5 10

5 0449/01/M/J/10 © UCLES 2010 Question 4: From Pakistan to Bangladesh The Move to Independence When Pakistan achieved independence in 1947 it faced serious problems. It faced a dispute with its neighbour, India, over the division of assets, the ownership of disputed territories and even the use of water from the rivers. Pakistan also faced a huge influx of refugees from India. East Pakistan was almost a thousand miles from West Pakistan and there were many differences between the people in each territory. Politicians in East Pakistan often disagreed with decisions made by the government (which was based in West Pakistan). Resentment grew as the people of East Pakistan became increasingly aware of the favouritism being shown by the government towards West Pakistan. After the Awami League won the 1970 elections to the National Assembly, a war of independence broke out when West Pakistan refused to allow the League to take power. In December 1971 the Republic of Bangladesh was officially declared. Part (a) (i) Which city became Pakistan’s new capital in 1947? [1] (ii) Who led Pakistan’s government from August 1947? [1] (iii) What ratio was used to decide ‘the division of assets’ between Pakistan and India? (line 2) [1] (iv) Who led the Awami League when it ‘won the 1970 elections’? (line 10) [1] (v) Who ‘refused to allow the League to take power’? (line 11) [1] Part (b) (i) Write what you know about the difficulties created by the influx of refugees into Pakistan in 1947. [5] (ii) Why was the Canal Water Dispute of 1947–48 an important issue in the history of Pakistan? [5] Part (c) Study the two statements below: A ‘Bangladesh was created because of the dispute over the national language.’ B ‘Bangladesh was created because of economic disparities between East and West Pakistan.’ How far do you agree with each statement? Explain your answer. [10] 5 10

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2010 question paper for the guidance of teachers 0449 BANGLADESH STUDIES 0449/01 Paper 1, maximum raw mark 75 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Page 2 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2010 0449 01 © UCLES 2010 Introduction The questions on Paper 1 divide into several distinct types: * questions which are either correct (and score one mark) or are incorrect (and score zero). These can be found in Part (a) of each of the four questions on the paper. * questions which require candidates to relate historical information without analysis. These will usually be found in Part (b) (i) of Questions 2 to 4 and will be marked on a ‘one point = one mark basis’. * questions where there is a hierarchy of correct responses, as in Part (b) of Question 1, Part (b) (ii) of Questions 2 to 4 and in all Part (c) questions. For such answers, a ‘levels of response’ mark scheme is used. The candidate’s response is placed in a level according to the best part of the answer and the mark within that level is awarded according to the criteria set out in the mark scheme.

Page 3 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2010 0449 01 © UCLES 2010 1 (a) One mark is awarded for each correct answer The correct answers are (i) Choice A (ii) Choice B (iii) Choice D (iv) Choice A (v) Choice C (b) Level One: Answers which give a generalised account about the work of Zainul Abedin but do not give examples. 1–2 marks Reserve one mark for very simplistic statements. Level Two: Answers which describe examples of Zainul Abedin’s work but make no comment on its contribution to Bangladeshi culture. 3–4 marks Mark within the level should be based upon the amount of supporting detail provided. Level Three: Answers which explain the link between Zainul Abedin’s work and Bangladeshi culture and give examples. 5–8 marks Mark within the level should be based upon the number of evaluative comments made and the degree of support given to those comments. (c) Level One: Answers which do no more than describe the work of the three elements given in the question without considering its importance. 1–5 marks Up to three marks for each element. Therefore two detailed descriptions would score 5 marks. Level Two: Answers which assess the importance of the work of the elements given. 6–9 marks Up to two marks for each example assessed. Therefore: One element assessed = 6/7 marks. Two elements assessed = 7/8 marks. Three elements assessed = 8/9 marks. N.B. Assessment must be fully explained and supported to reach this level. Level 3: Candidates who carry out a valid comparison between the choices (as opposed to just writing about the areas). 10–12 marks Marks awarded according to the number of choices compared and quality of support. E.g. In addition to Level 2, candidates will provide an argument that one of the choices is more important than the others (or, perhaps that they are all equal). There is no correct answer and any valid attempt to compare should be rewarded at this level.

Level Two: Answers which assess the importance of the examples given. 5–8 marks Up to two marks for each ruler assessed. Therefore: One ruler assessed = 5–6 marks. Two rulers assessed = 7 marks. Three rulers assessed = 8 marks. N.B. Assessment must be fully explained and supported to reach this level. Level 3: Candidates who carry out a valid comparison between the choices (as opposed to just writing about their contribution) 9–10 marks Marks awarded according to the number of choices compared and quality of support.
