 11th std The Adventure

1. Prof. Gaitonde had to decide what to do when the world he was living in seemed very strange?

Professor Gaitoride was very surprised when he saw new things and felt like he was reliving history. He was even more surprised when he didn't find his son working for Forbes. Because history was a mystery to him, he thought he could see the answer by going to the Library of the Asiatic Society, So he went to the Town Hall.

 2. What did Professor Gaitonde observe as the train approached British Raj territory?

As the railway approached Sarhad, the starting point of the British Raj, an Anglo-Indian in uniform inspected the train for permissions. On the side of the train's blue cars were the letters GBMR—an acronym for 'Greater Bombay Metropolitan Railway.' Each wagon was painted with a little Union Jack as a reminder that they were in British territory. As the train drew to a halt at Victoria Terminus, the station appeared very fresh and spotless. The staff was composed mainly of Anglo-Indians and Parsees, except a few British commanders.

3. When Professor Gaitonde got out of the train, what did he see that was so weird?

When Professor Gaitonde came out of the station, he saw a very tall and beautiful building. People could see that it was the East India headquarters of the East India Company because of the letters on it, which said that it was. He was shocked because it was supposed to have stopped working soon after the events of 1857, but here it was still going strong. This is what happened.

4. What did the victory of the Peshwas do for the East India Company?What happened to the East India Company when the new Marathas took control of India? 

Vishwasrao and his brother, Madhavrao, took control of many lands. The Company only had a small amount of power in areas near Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras. However, the Marathas were aware of the importance of the technological age that began in Europe in the 1800s. When the East India Company saw another way to spread its influence, it helped the people who set up their science and technology centers. But they were only taken in so that the local centers could be self-sufficient.
