Q.1 - Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow
1 Peace and order are necessary, not just in our own country but also at the international level, if we are
to secure national progress and development. The different countries in the world are coming closer
today due to faster means of transport and communication Economically, they are becoming
increasingly inter-dependent. If peace is disturbed in one part of the world, it has adverse effect in other
parts of the world as well
2 Nuclear weapons have already threatened the world with nuclear war. If the conflicts between
different nations are not settled in time, they might culminate in a nuclear war destroying the whole
world. It is therefore, in our own interest that the world is free of conflicts, if at all there are any, they
must be settled promptly and peace should be restored. That is why we have declared the
establishment of international peace and understanding as an objective of our foreign policy.
3 We need the help and co-operation of other countries for our scientific, industrial and economic
development, especially in those fields where we have yet to achieve self-sufficiency. We obtain the
latest machinery, technology and financial aid from the developed countries. On our part, we, too, offer
help to the underdeveloped countries. We are keen on maintaining friendly relations with other
countries. Such friendly relations foster international understanding,
4 We have always exerted ourselves to see that the disputes arising between the different nations are
settled through peaceful negotiations. We play an active role in the United Nations, the South Asian
Association for Regional Co-operation, the Commonwealth of Nations and other such international
organisations. We make it a point to participate in the international conferences on issues lite energy
crisis, environmental imbalance, nuclear arms race, etc. We always offer a helping hand to other nations
affected by natural calamities such as famines, earthquakes, ficods and so on. We strive to maintain
peaceful and friendly relations with our neighbouring countries.
5 Why do we do all this? We sincerely believe that the conflicts in today's world should be minimised,
making way for better co-operation among the nations. If this is achieved, human resources will no
longer be wasted in things like war or aggression. There will be no destruction of wealth. We believe
that, in a peacelul world, there will be greater scope for the economic and cultural development of the
countries
