91. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below: (141-145)

The term 'Third world' drew attention to the parts of the world that, during the Cold War, did not fall into the capitalist so-called 'First World' or the communist so-called 'Second world'. The formerly colonized and newly independent countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America were 'third' in the sense that they were made economically and militarily dependent on the first' and 'second' world, and often suffered from wide spread poverty and famine as a result. The term also implied that they were 'non-aligned', the third world often being the battleground on which the geopolitical struggle between the first and second world was conducted. Some anti-racism movements and Black Liberationists in 'first world' countries such as Stokely Carmichael, situated their movements as connected or conjoined with the third world, highlighting parallel forms of subjugation on non-white peoples at the national and global levels. The term Third World' has largely been abandoned since the 1970s due to its pejorative ideological implications, the receding significance of a shared colonial past and economic development in Asia in particular.

Moreover, the British world take action to ensure the fulfilment of all guarantees by China, as per the Adhesion Agreement of 1906. Alarmed by the aggressive forward policy unleashed by the Manchu Empire in the wake of the Young Husband expedition of 1903 - 04, which was followed up in a more robust manner by the regime of new republic during 1910-11, British India reacted vigorously, first by ejecting the policy of non-interference, and second by endeavouring to define the frontier with Tibet by reaching out to the less explored or unknown tribal territories on the southern slopes of Himalayas. The Chinese actions had been prompted by an apprehension that Britain might grab Central Tibet or assume the position of protector of Tibet, while the British reaction was spurred by a similar concern that China might take over Tibet, or that an emboldened Russia might shake her claim for Tibet to be included in its sphere of influence.
