threatening the world, including the US, the EU, India,


Russia and China, to say nothing of the Central Asian
states, which cower before the Uzbek terrorists trained in
Pakistan.
Manmohan Singh's reaction to an act of terrorism in
Jammu on the eve of his meeting with Sharif was brave and
statesmanlike, given the negative press he has at home
and the populist atmospherics of the coming elections in
India. He said he would not be deterred by terrorism while
talking peace with Pakistan. While in New York, he met
President Barack Obama who could not find time for his
Pakistani counterpart and agreed to meet Sharif, with
caveats against pinning high hopes on the meeting.
Sharif's reference to Kashmir at the UNGA was aimed
more at audiences at home than at India. He also expressed
Pakistan's newfound plaint about the "unjust" global
system created by a flawed UN and called, unrealistically,
for reforms in the world body. At home, right-wing TV
anchors and newspaper reporters were pleased that "he
spoke softly but gave a harsh message". Some were put
off because he was not "fiery" enough, meaning that he
lacked in denunciatory "Chavizmo" or the parading of a
poor man's useless tumescence in global politics.
Ace anchor Kamran Khan gave the familiar, but
repeatedly defeated, spin to the Jammu attack on Indian
police and military troops: "The attacks inflicted a heavy
loss to the Indian army and police and also revived the
assertion that no effort for peace between Pakistan and
India could bear fruit until the Kashmir issue was resolved."
Sharif was toeing the Foreign Office line, which has
traditionally toed the Pakistan army line, built on the frozen
geopolitical position on India as a permanent enemy
opposed to the very existence of Pakistan. The last bit is
supported by the textbook brainwash in the schools of
Pakistan, particularly Punjab, currently ruled by Sharif's
rightwing PML(N).
His plaint about Kashmir not finding place on the
roster of issues at the UN was purely for home
consumption, because the 1972 Indo-Pak Simla Agreement
had forever assigned it to bilateral dialogue. Pakistan had
wrongly tried to move the International Court of Justice
(ICJ) against India for the 1999 shooting down of a
surveillance aircraft. The ICJ, while asserting that it had no
jurisdiction over the matter, gratuitously advised Pakistan
to abide by the 1972 change of status of all disputes.
51. Why did the issue of Kashmir not figure on the roster
of issues at the UN?
1) Because the UN does not want to poke its nose in
such a complicated issue.
2) Because the Kashmir issue is not so important in
comaprison to other global issues.
3) Because, as per the Indo - Pak Shimla Agreement
1972, Kashmir issue can be resolved only through

Test-II: English Language

Directions (Q. 51-65): Read the passage carefully


and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/
phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
Things have got so bad between India and Pakistan
that when they talk peace it looks like war. Their prime
ministers were to address the 65th annual session of the
United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York
and then meet on the sidelines.
One day Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made some illadvised, bellicose, Kashmir-related remarks against India
in his speech at the UNGA. On the following day Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh lashed out at Pakistan in his
speech. Before they met the next day Sharif reportedly
called Singh a "village hag" (sic) off the record and put
paid to whatever diplomatic gains he had counted on. After
that, the meeting could not be one-on-one.
Back home, the Indo-Pak media war was savage,
sharpened by BJP leader Narendra Modi's explosive
reaction to the "village hag" remark. One channel pitted
the notoriously visceral Pakistani politician Sheikh Rashid
Ahmed against Hindu and Muslim Indians, scoring brownie
points while anchors lost their neutral cool.
The New York meeting achieved nothing except a
vague agreement on sorting out the recent Line of Control
incidents through armies that hate each other. Pakistan's
reference to Indian terrorism in Balochistan was correct
but not comparable to India's globally accepted
designation of Pakistan as the epicentre of terrorism,

Thus any negative conclusion does not follow.
Hence, conclusion II does not follow.

Again, No game is an application (E) + Some

Thus conclusion I follows.
Again, combining (i) and (iii),

Hence, conclusion II does not follow.

conclusion I doesnt follow.
Again R = Q < P, ie R < P
Thus conclusion II does not follow.

From statement (i), we have

Hence, conclusion II doesnt follow.

Hence conclusion I follows.


From statement (i), we have
P > S < T, so we cant compare P and T.
