- Statement:
- Should India give away Kashmir to Pakistan?
- Argument :
- I. No. Kashmir is a beautiful state. It earns a lot of foreign exchange for India.
- II. Yes. This would help settle conflicts.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Clearly, India cannot part with a state that is a major foreign exchange earner to it. So, argument I holds strong.
Further, giving away a piece of land unconditionally and unreasonably is no solution to settle disputes. So, argument II is vague.
