Hello, everybody here we are learning something very interesting which will tell about ourselves. That is the human body. Have you ever been to a big hospital in your neighbourhood? Such hospitals have a department which deals with taking photographs of the parts inside the human body. The X-ray department helps us to view the bones of our body. And there is a scan centre, which helps us to view the internal organs. These photos help us to find out if anything has gone wrong with the bones or the organs inside the body. What are such photographs are called as? They are nothing but X-rays. Organs that are inside our body are called as internal organs. This is the picture of internal organs. First is the head which comprises the brain. Then we will see the chest, which has lungs and the heart. Next is the abdomen, which carries the alimentary canal. That is the digestive system. The alimentary canal is made up of liver, pancreas and the intestines.
We have to move different parts of our body as we carry out various activities, such as playing, swimming or driving a vehicle. Many parts of our body such as eyes, arms, legs, ears help us in carrying out these activities. The working of all these parts must be in harmony for the different movements and the work of the body to go on smoothly. Harmony means orderly or pleasing arrangements of the parts. This harmony is known as the co-ordination in the working of different parts. Co-ordination is needed even in things which seem to be very simple such as drawing a picture or having a meal or drinking water. Observe the organs that would help you to pour out a glass of water and to drink the water from the glass. What would happen if there was no co-ordination between these organs? The water would spill.
Co-ordination is also needed between the working of the internal organs, like the beating of the heart or the circulation of the blood. Which organ brings about this co-ordination? It is the brain that maintains the co-ordination between different activities like speaking, jumping etc.

Hello, students, my name is Sejal and today we are starting with a chapter number 2, India’s Foreign Policy. In the last chapter we learnt the meaning of foreign policy and the factors that affects it. In this chapter we are going to study the background and the features of India’s foreign policy.
Let us understand the background. India’s foreign policy has been influenced by the idea of peace. Mahatma Gandhi, children, is a symbol of peace and tolerance which comes from our ancient history. The Indian culture teaches us that the whole world is like a family ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’. This is also expressed through our foreign policy. The principles of international peace and understanding which emerged from Indian’s freedom struggle have also influenced our foreign policy. On the 15th of August, 1947, India got her independence. As an independent nation, it was necessary for India to decide on her own foreign policy. However the broad outline of the foreign policy had been decided in the pre-Independence period itself. Let us see, what were they, opposition to colonialism. What is colonialism, children? It means capturing other countries and making it a colony. Why opposition to colonialism? Because India was a victim of it for a long time. Co-operation with peace loving nations. Opposition to any distinction on the basis of race or colour. Supporting the freedom struggles in other countries. Striving to establish world peace.
As a head of the interim government, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had given a speech on 7th September, 1946, in which he had clearly stated the objectives of India’s foreign policy. Interim means temporary. He stressed on the need to formulate an independent foreign policy not falling prey to the pressures of the other nations. Formulate means to make, whereas prey means victim.
Constitutional Provisions – after gaining independence, India started formulating her own independent foreign policy. The basic objective of our foreign policy is to protect the independence of the nation and to preserve our territorial integrity. Territorial integrity means safeguarding our borders. Article 51 of directive principles of the Constitution of India guides us how we should conduct our international affairs and transactions. The article states the principle of our foreign policy. They are to promote international peace and security. Second is to maintain just and honourable relations between nations. To foster respect for international law. To encourage the resolving of international issues peacefully through tribunals means court of law.

Hello, students, today we are going to learn chapter 9, that is Agents of Erosion.
Students, we have studied in previous chapters about Endogenous processes and Exogenous processes. So, let us revise, once again what are Exogenous processes and Endogenous processes?
Students, endogenous processes affect earth’s surface, but it originates in the interior of the earth. Earthquakes, volcanoes, formation of mountains and continents these are all the effects of endogenous processes. Whereas exogenous processes occur on the surface of the earth and bring about changes in the landscape, weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition are the effects of exogenous processes.
Students, of these exogenous processes, we have studied the process of weathering in the last chapter. So, in this chapter we shall study the processes like erosion, transportation and deposition. So, students let us try to understand these processes in detail.
So, first process, that is erosion. Students, erosion means wearing of the rocks. This wearing can take place due to friction and scraping. Friction means action of one surface or object rubbing against another. Means the movement of wind, water and ice over rocks causes friction and it results in the wearing of rocks and this leads to erosion of rocks. So, students, erosion is caused by river, wind, ground water, glacier and sea waves. Students, the work of river, winds and glacier is controlled by the climate of the region, whereas, sea waves and ground water work in the region wherever they exist. So, students, we understood the processes of erosion.
Let us learn now, what is denudation. Students, you know that rivers erode sediments from the rocks in the initial stage and then river transport the sediments over a long distances and this river deposits sediments in the form of the fine soil in the final stage of the river. So, this entire process of erosion, transportation and deposition of rocks in the form of a fine soil is called denudation.
Students, so we know that who are the agents of erosion? Wind, rivers, glaciers, sea waves and ground water but out of these, in this chapter we shall study the work of river, wind and glaciers.
