  • Question
  • Statement: Should India acquire/manufacture the latest nuclear weapons?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. The enemies of India are improving their weapons continuously and it becomes imperative to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the country.
    2. No. Instead the money should be diverted to development activities.
    3. No. The international community will isolate Indians and this will bring a setback to Indian economy.
    4. No. It will be against our policy of maintaining world peace.


  • Options
  • A. Only I is strong
  • B. Only I and IV are strong
  • C. Only I, II and IV are strong
  • D. All are strong
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I is strong 

    Explanation
    Clearly, in the blind race for attaining nuclear powers, acquiring nuclear weapons is an inevitability to protect the country from the threat of nuclear powers. So, argument I holds strong. Also, defence of the country is as important as internal development. So, II does not hold. Argument III seems to be vague. Also, India intends to acquire nuclear weapons for self-defence and not aggression. So, argument IV also does not hold.
