Statement–Argument — Should Indian scientists working abroad be called back to India? Arguments: I) Yes; they must serve the motherland first regardless of facilities and recognition. II) No; (irrelevant) this encourages kidnappers to continue sinister activities. Choose the strong argument(s).

Introduction / Context:
Talent mobility policy should consider voluntary incentives, ecosystem quality, and collaboration—not coercive recall or unrelated claims.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Scientists contribute globally; collaborations/return programs are voluntary.
• Argument I dismisses professional realities and individual choice.
• Argument II is irrelevant to the policy question.

Concept / Approach:
Argument I is weak: absolutist duty language without addressing research ecosystems or rights. Argument II is off-topic (kidnapping). Thus both are weak.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Effective policies provide grants, labs, and partnerships—neither argument addresses this.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Awarding strength to either validates non-policy or irrelevant grounds.

Common Pitfalls:
Equating patriotism with compulsory recall; citing unrelated crime dynamics.

Final Answer:
if neither I nor II is strong.
