comparative assessment of India’s strategic partnerships — meaning, ‘political-diplomatic, defence and economic
cooperation’ (during the 10-year period prior to November 2011), had said, “Russia emerges as the most important

Two decades after signing the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment, India is yet to (36)_________ it. There can be little justification for such a / an (37)__________ delay in
passing legislation to give effect to the convention. In recent times there is a fresh note of urgency attached to the
need for early ratification, as the country has pending requests for the (38)__________ of its nationals from other
countries. For, as pointed out by the Supreme Court, the absence of a stand-alone law (39)__________ torture may
prevent many countries from agreeing to India’s extradition requests. Such a law may be in the national interest, the
Chief Justice of India observed during the course of a hearing on a public interest petition seeking the enactment of
an anti-torture law in accordance with the country’s (40)______________. The court also noted that India was
subjected to close questioning during the Universal Periodic Review of its human rights obligations at the UN Human

international cooperation on criminal matters, India will be better served if it is seen as adhering to international
treaties, especially its obligations under the Convention Against Torture, which it signed in 1997. There may be
some doubt whether India needs a fresh law to prevent and punish torture. Provisions relating to causing hurt or
grievous hurt, especially with a view to extracting a confession, criminal (42)_________ and wrongful confinement
already exist in the Indian Penal Code. However, the idea of a stand-alone law ought to be ultimately seen as a
more tangible way of expressing commitment to eliminating torture. A concrete step towards enacting a law was
made when the Prevention of Torture Bill, 2010, was passed by the Lok Sabha in 2010, but it was referred to a
Select Committee in the Rajya Sabha. In its report submitted in the same year, the committee recommended
exhaustive amendments to the Bill to make it (43)___________ with the language and intent of the Convention.
Thereafter the Bill lapsed. The government now says it has referred the matter to the Law Commission for an
authoritative view. Given the pervasive nature of custodial violence and its complex policing requirements, the
present legislative and administrative framework is obviously inadequate to prevent torture in a country of India’s
size. It is (44)_________ that a strong law that criminalises torture, imposes (45)___________ punishment for it and
contains liberal provisions for those suffering torture to complain against their perpetrators, prosecute them and be
compensated and rehabilitated, is passed at the earliest

Asteroids are rocks and debris which are the leftovers of the construction of our solar
system. Most are in a belt, which (A) between Mars and Jupiter. However, the
gravitational influence of the giant planets, like Jupiter, or an impact by a comet can
knock these large rocks out of their orbit, thus hurling them (B) the Earth. Many bodies
have struck Earth in the (C), and a widely accepted theory blames the impact of an
asteroid for the extinction of dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. The scale of such
a disaster can be understood by the example of a relatively small-size asteroid strike
in Siberia in early 20th century which (D) more than half a million acres of forest.
However, what relieves the common man of the (E) regarding asteroid impact is the

orbit all around the year. With advanced equipment and technology, they can predict
any upcoming danger much in (F). According to them the chances of finding such an
asteroid crossing Earth in this or the next five generations’ lifetime is only one in
thousands. Even if such an asteroid is found out, there will be (G) of time to track it,
measure its orbit precisely, and plan a system for (H) it from its orbit away from that of
the Earth’s. There will be no great hurry, and no great panic. It would be a project for
all the world’s nations to take part in. It could be a globally unifying event. Because it
will be (I) long before it actually hits the Earth, it probably would take only a small
measure such as chemical rockets, or perhaps an atomic explosion to divert it from a
threatening path.
Thus, in short, it can be said that though the impact would pose enormous risk to all
living forms on Earth, the odds of it occurring within our lifetimes is very (J) and it is
unnecessary to run around believing that the sky is falling.
