Preface    ClassKlap partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes  that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning.  ClassKlap presents the latest version of this series – updated and revised after  considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced  reviewers and users.    The Magnolia series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the prescribed  board curriculum. Furthermore, to facilitate comprehensive coverage, improved  understanding of diverse themes and ease of implementation, the EVS curriculum has  been split into EVS – I (Science) and EVS – II (Social Studies). Our books are split into  two parts to manage the bag weight. They also strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms  of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous  Indian classroom.    Our books also contain age-appropriate and easily relatable content that ensures  that students can perceive social realities while imbibing the values of the Indian  Constitution and human rights. There is also use of graphics, illustrations and pictures  to help students to engage with concepts and ideas better. These objectives are  integrated in the EVS – II (Social Studies) textbooks and workbooks to provide a holistic  learning experience to students. The key features of the EVS – II (Social Studies) books  are as follows.

But, I am vegetarian!  The whole Jain family is vegetarian.    Meher: Wow! That is interesting. We know very few  vegetarian families. Most of our Parsi family and  friends love patrani machchi and mutton dhansak.    Rashi: Have you noticed that we speak different           Patrani machchi  languages at home as well? You speak Gujarati, and  I speak Marwari. Yet, we live in one country.    Meher: We are so different and similar at the same time!                                                                                1
QQ. What can be said about the Irani and Jain families?  	 (A) Both families are vegetarian.  	 (B) Both families enjoy non-vegetarian food.  	 (C) Both families speak similar languages.  	 (D) The Iranis and the Jains speak different languages.       Remembering    India is one country with many different cultures. The language, food, clothing and  other habits of a group of people is called their culture. People living in different parts  of India speak different languages, eat many types of food and wear special clothes.  Let us learn more about these different ways of living.    LANGUAGES    Many languages are spoken all over the country. Hindi and English are the official  languages of the central government. Official languages are used by governments  for their work. States choose their own official languages. The 22 official languages  used in India are as follows.    •	 Assamese  •	 Bengali   •	 Bodo                          •	 Dogri    •	 Gujarati  •	 Hindi     •	 Kannada                       •	 Kashmiri    •	 Konkani   •	 Maithili  •	 Malayalam                     •	 Manipuri    •	 Marathi   •	 Nepali    •	 Oriya                         •	 Punjabi    •	 Sanskrit  •	 Santhali  •	 Sindhi                        •	 Tamil    •	 Telugu    •	 Urdu    Other than these, there are about 1600 languages in India. Example: Bhojpuri, Tulu,  Lepcha, Marwari and many more. Do you speak a language that is not on this list?  What is it?    2
In India, people often speak more than one language. People who can speak two  languages are called bilingual. People who can speak three or more languages are  called multilingual. Most Indians are bilingual, and many are multilingual. Look at the  map. It shows languages used by the majority of people in different regions in India.    Languages, Food and Clothing  3

Understanding    The different languages, types of food and clothing make India diverse. Diversity  means a ‘variety or range of different things’.  REASONS FOR DIVERSITY    India has cold mountains in the north and warm plains and plateaus in the south. We  have dry heat in the west and humidity in the east. The climate and natural regions  affect the culture of each region.  Climate and physical features also affect the crops grown. The staple diet or main  food depends on what is easily available. These factors also affect the clothing of  different regions. The map on the next page tells us more about the diversity in India.

You said sorry that same day. Why are you  saying sorry again today?    Rashi: Today is ‘Paryushana Parva’. On this day, we Jains  say sorry for the wrong things we did. We do this every year.  It usually falls in August or September. Do Parsis do special  things like this?    Meher: Of course, we do! We celebrate Parsi New Year or  Nowruz. Mom has the whole house cleaned. On this day,  we go to the agiary to pray.    Rashi: A Jain temple is called a derasar. So, an agiary is a  Parsi temple, correct?    Meher: Yes, you are right. Also, Rashi, I forgive you for that fight.    Rashi: Oh thank you, Meher!                                                                                      9

(A) their hobbies	           (B) their family celebrations  	 (C) their classmates 	      (D) their experiences at school               Remembering    India has many different communities. A community is a group of people who share a  common culture. They have different languages, food and clothing habits. They also  have various forms of art which include music, dance, drama, drawing, painting  and writing.    COMMUNITIES IN INDIA    Communities are formed in many ways. People from a place form the community of  that place. People from Mumbai form Mumbai’s community. Communities from the  same place may share the same language. People who speak Assamese form the  Assamese community.    A religious community has people who  follow the same religion. Some major religions  practised across India are the following.    •	 Hinduism        •	 Islam  •	 Buddhism        •	 Jainism  •	 Christianity    •	 Sikhism  •	 Zoroastrianism    FESTIVALS                                       Followers of the major religions of India    People of the same religion usually celebrate the same festivals. A festival is a  celebration of an event. We can learn about a community’s culture and traditions  through its festivals.    10
Understanding    Different communities celebrate different festivals throughout the year. Many festivals  are celebrated with new clothes, special food and traditional dances. Festivals can be  broadly divided into national, harvest and religious festivals.    NATIONAL FESTIVALS    Three days are very important in all parts of India: Republic    Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti. These are known    as national festivals. Republic Day is celebrated on 26 January.  Republic Day  Independence Day is celebrated on 15 August.                      celebrations    Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated on 2 October. They remind us of the people who made    India a free country.    HARVEST AND RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS    Many festivals celebrate the harvest season. Crops are gathered from the fields at the  time of harvest. Farmers celebrate these festivals to thank nature for the crops. Some  common harvest festivals are mentioned below.          Harvest festival                        Community which celebrates  Baisakhi                Punjabi people  Magh Bihu               Assamese people  Onam                    Malayali people  Pongal                  Tamil people    The New Year’s days for different communities are also important festivals.

Christmas is  an important celebration for Christians. It marks the birthday of Jesus Christ.    Other Special Days    Some special days are also celebrated all over India to remember the birthdays of  important people.            Date        Special day                    Why is it celebrated?  14 April      Ambedkar Jayanti   Dr B R Ambedkar was a freedom fighter who                                   helped to make laws for India.  5 September   Teacher’s Day      S Radhakrishnan was the President of India.

Application    You can belong to many communities at the same time. Example: You can be a  Bengali Christian, a Bihari Muslim or a Tamil Buddhist.  Many people move from one state to another. Your parents or grandparents might  have been from a different state. You may feel like you belong to your old state as  well as your new state.  People who share the same interests form communities. They celebrate their own  festivals. People who love reading can form one community. People who love football  can form another community. A person can thus belong to more than one community.  Nowadays, people with similar interests create communities even on the internet.  They share their ideas and stories.                 Higher Order Thinking Skills (H.O.T.S.)

Think    Rashi was not well. Her mother took her to the doctor.  The doctor asked her to take medicines and eat green  leafy vegetables. Now, they are on their way to buy  medicines and vegetables.    Rashi: Ma! Will I get better after I have the medicines?    Mrs Jain: Yes, Rashi. You will be fine.                   A doctor checking  Rashi: But I do not like medicines. They taste bitter.             a child    Mrs Jain: You have to eat them, dear. Now let us hurry up. We need to go to  the greengrocer. The doctor said you need to eat green leafy vegetables to  become strong.    QQ. Who sells green leafy vegetables that the doctor asks us to take?    	 (A) teacher	          (B) chemist    	 (C) police	           (D) greengrocer                                                                           15
Remembering    Greengrocers, doctors, chemists are occupations that people have. ‘Occupation’  means the job or work people do to earn money. They spend that money to buy  things and pay bills.  People choose occupations according to the following.  •	 their interests  •	 what they learn  •	 their skills  Example: Some people are interested in sports and fitness. They may become  sportspersons or join the police or army.  When people work, they either do some action or make something.  Example: A teacher teaches. A potter makes pots. Here are some occupations that  involve people doing some actions.    Doctor             Sweeper      Teacher          Policewoman  Greengrocer  Driver    16

SOME OTHER OCCUPATIONS    All occupations are equally important. We should respect all the people who do  or make different things. Postal workers, nurses, painters, electricians, carpenters,  mechanics and plumbers are a few other occupations. Let us look at a few  more occupations.    Policeman and policewoman    Monitors in your classroom make sure that everybody follows the rules. The police are  the monitors of our country.    A police station is a place where several policemen and policewomen work.    The police do the following.  •	 They keep our neighbourhoods safe.  •	 They make sure that people follow rules.  •	 They catch people who try to harm others.    When someone does something wrong, we can complain to the police. To do this,  we must go to a police station. The police help us record what happened. They write  down the complaint.    Sweepers    Sweepers keep our streets clean. They mostly work          Food we get from animals  during early mornings. This is when there is less traffic  on the road. Sweepers work every day. They work  in all kinds of weather. They work very hard. We  can respect them by throwing waste in dustbins  wherever we are.    Farmers    Farmers grow different crops. Many farmers also rear  cows, hens and goats. These animals give us many  useful products.    Factory workers    Factory workers work in factories. They make different     A factory worker  things such as cars, utensils, shoes, television sets and  so on. They learn how to use different types of tools  and machines.    18
Application    CHANGES IN OCCUPATIONS OVER TIME    New inventions: When new machines are invented, people  who can run these machines are required. This means that  new occupations are created.    Example: After the camera was invented, people started    A photographer  working as camerapersons and photographers.    Machines replacing jobs: Sometimes, machines can do  things faster than humans and without mistakes. So,  sometimes, a machine does the work instead of people.  This means people have to leave that occupation.                     Example: In many factories, cars are      Robots making cars in a                   put together by robots. So, the          car-manufacturing factory                   people who put together cars had                   to change their jobs.    A babysitter     Changes in society: Sometimes, people change the way they                   live. Such changes result in new occupations.                     Example: Earlier, women used to remain at home and look after                   children. Now, women have started working. Therefore, many                   people have started working as babysitters.                     Easier way of doing things: Sometimes, the occupation remains                   the same. However, it is done differently.    A note-counting  Example: Earlier, cashiers working in banks used to count notes       machine     themselves. Now, banks have note-counting machines which                   cashiers use.    Higher Order Thinking Skills (H.O.T.S.)    1)	These days, some occupations are rarely practised. One such occupation is that          of a ‘water seller’ or ‘bhisti’. With the help of adults, find out about occupations          that are no longer as common.                                             Our Occupations  19

Remembering    The word past refers to the time that has gone by. It is the time before ‘now’. The word  ‘history’ comes from the Greek word ‘historia’. It means ‘a story’ or ‘an account of  anything that has happened’. Thus a study of past events is called history. It also refers  to the past and all things that have happened at that time.  How can we remember all the events that happened in the past?  TIMELINE  We use the correct order of events to remember and understand the past. A timeline  is a drawing that shows the order of events that took place in the past. Look at the  example.                                                      An example of a timeline  On a timeline, the first event is on the left-hand side. The latest event is on the  right-hand side. A timeline can only show the order of events that have happened in  the past. It helps us to remember when events happened in the past. But how do we  learn about history? To learn about history in detail, we need to know more about the  sources of history.    SOURCES OF HISTORY  We need objects, materials, buildings and written stories to study the past. These are  called sources of history. Stories that tell us about the past are also sources of history.  They may or may not be written. The three types of sources of history are as follows.  Oral sources: stories, songs and poems that people remember  Written sources: letters, books, plays and travel stories written in the past  Archaeological sources: famous buildings, tools, clothes, jewellery and other  such materials        22
We use different sources of history to learn different things about the past.    Sources of history  What can we learn from them?    Oral sources        languages spoken, everyday activities and festivals    Written sources     laws, famous people and places    Archaeological sources commonly used objects, materials used to make things                 Understanding    THE NEED TO STUDY HISTORY    Different people study history for different reasons. A doctor studies history to  understand the different diseases and treatments of the past. A journalist studies  history to understand the present events better. An architect learns about ways of  constructing buildings and the materials used in the past. The study of materials helps  them understand which materials are strong and which are weak. This helps them  make new buildings better.  Some reasons to study history are as follows.  •	 to understand the stories of people in different situations  •	 to know why events happened in the past  •	 to help us understand the changes in the world  •	 to help us become better citizens    WAYS OF LEARNING ABOUT FAMILY HISTORY    Every person also has a past or family history. How can we know about the family  history of our older family members? We can learn about our family history in many  ways. Some of them are the following.  •	 W e can look at oral sources such as the stories that our family members remember         about themselves and others.  •	 F or written sources, we can read letters, diaries and journals of various         family members.  •	 We can also look at old photographs, clothes, jewellery, videos and other belongings.                        What Is History?                                           23
Application  ARCHAEOLOGISTS AND HISTORIANS    Archaeologists and historians work together to learn about the past. They find out about  different people and groups. An archaeologist studies buildings, paintings, clothes and  other objects used by the people in the past. A historian studies the meaning of the text  in books and other documents written in the past.
