Answer 1

Yes, India can be said to be living in a dangerous neighbourhood. China and Myanmar, the two nearest neighbours are said to be very complex. The South Asian region is also full of contradictions, disparities and paradoxes. In the post-colonial period the South Asia has been a a theatre of inter-state as well as civil wars. Hence it faces many challenges in terms of foreign policies, which affects the growth and development of the economy, and strengthen the economic spine of the country. Foreign policy in India by and large enjoys large consensus But sometimes the policies are sabotaged by domestic regional politics.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

(i) Yes, I agree that hurdles are created in the way of internal development due to tense relations of India with neighbouring countries. Due to tense relations with the neighbours, India is unable to focus on the internal law and order situation and social welfare.

(ii) Non-cordial relations with the neighbours will force India to embark on military and nuclear mobilisation to retaliate the pressure of foreign aggression. This might culminate into a war.  

(iii) War with neighbours will disturb the peace in the Indian subcontinent and compel India to divert its resources and efforts towards defence and manufacturing weapons.

(iv) Money and resources which should be invested for constructive purposes like health, education and infrastructure would be diverted towards destruction.

(v) A war with her neighbours can put tremendous pressure on India’s economy giving rise to problems like scarcity and inflation.
