Directions (71-80): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain

words are given in bold in the passage to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Though the Cold War has ended, selective tactics are still continuing for ensuring the military and

economic dominance of developed countries. Various types of technology denial regimes are still being

enforced which are now being mainly targeted against developing countries like India.

Today, we in India encounter twin problems. On one side there is a large scale strengthening of our neighbours

through supply of arms and clandestine support to their nuclear and missile programmes and on the other side

all efforts are being made to weaken our indigenous technology growth through control regimes and dumping of

low-tech systems, accompanied with high commercial pitch in critical areas. Growth of indigenous technology

and self-reliance are the only answer to the problem.

Thus in the environment around India, the number of missiles and nuclear powers arecontinuously increasing

and destructive weapons continue to pile up around us, in spite of arms reduction treaties.

To understand the implications of various types of warfare that may affect us, we need to take a quick look at

the evolution of war weaponry and the types of warfare. I am highlighting this point for the reason that in less

than a century we could see change in the nature of warfare and its effects on society.

In early years of human history it was mostly direct human warfare. During the twentieth century up to about

1990, the warfare was weapon driven. The weapons used were guns, tanks, aircraft, ships, submarines and the

nuclear weapons deployed on land/sea/air and alsoreconnaissance spacecraft. Proliferation of conventional

nuclear and biological weapons was at a peak owing to the competition between the superpowers.

The next phase, in a new form, has just started from 1990 onwards. The world has graduated into economic

warfare. The means used is control of market forces through high technology. The participating nations, apart

from the USA, are Japan, the UK, France, Germany, certain South-East Asia countries and a few others. The

driving force is the generation of wealth with certain types of economic doctrine.

The urgent issue we need to address collectively as a nation is, how do we handle the tactics of economic and

military dominance in this new form coming from the backdoor? Today technology is the main driver of

economic development at the national level. Therefore, we have to develop indigenous technologies to enhance

our competitive edge and to generate national wealth in all segments of economy. Therefore, the need of the

hour is arm India with technology.

71. Why do certain countries use selective tactics against developing countries?

(a) To help developing countries gain military and economic independence

(b) To help developing countries govern themselves and be economically independent

(c) To ally with developing countries to dominate over other developed countries

(d) To curtail their domination over developing countries

(e) None of these

72. Which are the issues of great concern that India is facing at present, according to the author of the

passage?

(a) The supply of high-tech weaponry by other countries to India‘s neighbours who are likely to use the

same against India.

(b) Other countries secretly helping India‘s neighbours to strengthen their nuclear might.

(c) Obstruction of India‘s genuine efforts to develop its own nuclear technology.

(a) (A) & (B) only

(b) (B) & (C) only

(c) (A) & (C) only

(d) All (A), (B) & (C)

(e) None of these

73. Enforcement of technology denial regimes by developed countries implies which of the following?

(a) Dominance of developing countries over developed ones

(b) Exploitation of developing nations by the mightier ones

(c) Targeting of developed countries by developing countries

(d) Sympathizing with underprivileged countries

By : Gaurav Sir

(e) None of these

74. The striking difference in warfare before and after 1990 was the shift from

(a) guns, tanks, etc. to nuclear weapons

(b) ships and submarines to spacecrafts

(c) weaponry to economic warfare

(d) economic forces to high technology driven warfare

(e) None of these

75. Why according to the author, is it necessary to examine how weaponry and warfare have evolved?

(a) To understand their implications for us.

( b) To learn the rapid changes that have taken place in weaponry and warfare.

(c) To master them and enable us to attack our enemies.

(a) All (A), (B) and (C) (b) (A) & (B) only (c) (A) & (C) only
