Directions (1-8): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.
r’s
After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, there had been a long period
of relative calm among the two neighbours. But during the 1990s,
escalating tensions and conflict with separatists in Kashmir as well as nuclear
tests by both countries in 1998 changed the scenario. Despite the belligerent
atmosphere, both countries signed the Lahore Declaration in February 1999 to
ha
provide a peaceful and bilateral solution to the Kashmiri issue. However, elements
in the Military of Pakistan covertly trained and sent troops and paramilitary forces,
some allegedly in the guise of mujahideen, into the Indian territory. The aim was
E
to sever the link between Kashmir and Ladakhand cause Indian forces to withdraw
from the Siachen Glacier, thus forcing India to negotiate a settlement of the
d
broader Kashmir dispute. Pakistan also believed that any tension in the region
would internationalise the Kashmir issue, helping it to secure a speedy resolution.
Yet another goal may have been to boost the morale of the decade-long rebellion
ee
in Indian-held Kashmir by taking a proactive role. Some writers have speculated

that the operation’s objective may also have been as a retaliation for
India’s Operation Meghdoot in 1984 that seized much of Siachen Glacier.
C
According to India’s then army chief Ved Prakash Malik, and many other
Sr
scholars, the infiltration was code named “Operation Badr”, and much of the
background planning, including construction of logistical supply routes, had been
undertaken much earlier. On more than one occasion, the army had given past
Pakistani leaders (namely Zia ul Haq and Benazir Bhutto) similar proposals for
an infiltration in the Kargil region in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the plans
had been shelved for fear of drawing the nations into all-out war. Some analysts
believe that the blueprint of attack was reactivated when Pervez Musharraf was
C
appointed chief of army staff in October 1998. In a disclosure made by Nawaz
Sharif, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, he states that he was unaware of
the preparation of the intrusion, and it was an urgent phone call from Atal Bihari
Vajpayee, his counterpart in India, that informed him about the situation.
Responding to this, Musharaf asserted that the Prime Minister had been briefed
on the Kargil operation 15 days ahead of Vajpayee’s journey to Lahore on February
20. Sharif had attributed the plan to Musharraf and “just two or three of
his cronies”, a view shared by some Pakistani writers who have stated that, only
four generals, including Musharraf, knew of the plan.
There were three major phases to the Kargil War. First, Pakistan captured
several strategic high points in the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir. India
responded by first capturing strategic transportation routes, then militarily pushing
Pakistani forces back across the Line of Control.
1
Because of the extreme winter weather in Kashmir, it was common practice

for the Indian and Pakistan Army to abandon forward posts and reoccupy them in
the spring. That particular spring, the Pakistan Army reoccupied the forward posts
before the scheduled time.

1) because Bangladesh had formed in the early 1970’s.

Directions (43-50): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.
The world is amid the Great Migration Clash, a bitter struggle between those who
r’s
want out of their countries and those who want others to keep out of their
countries. More than a billion people would like to move permanently to another
country and no less than a billion people say fewer or no immigrants should be
allowed to move into their countries. The populations with the largest percentages
wanting to emigrate are generally found in poor and violence ridden countries. In
ha
many of those nations, half or more of the populations say they would like to
migrate permanently to another country, typically to Europe and North America.
The desires of hundreds of millions of men and women who want out of their
E
countries and to settle in another are influenced by a broad range of economic,
social, political and environmental factors. Those critical factors interact to produce
d
powerful push and pull forces that operate in origin and destination countries,
respectively
ee
Living conditions in migrant-origin countries are typically difficult and harsh

and have worsened considerably in many regions due to climate change,
environmental degradation and more recently the coronavirus pandemic. Housing
is typically substandard, educational opportunities are limited, health care is
C
often lacking and many households struggle at subsistence levels.
Sr
Violence, armed conflict and human rights abuse also contribute to people’s
desires to want out. Consequently, in addition to the large numbers of irregular
migrants overstaying their visitors’ visa, many men, women and children lacking
legal authorization to emigrate are willing to risk their lives to reach their desired
destinations by any means, including crossing seas in flimsy boats, walking across
deserts with limited provisions and hiding in poorly ventilated trucks, with some
dying in their failed attempts.
C
In contrast to migrant-origin countries, life in the migrant-destination
countries is a comparative dreamland, offering a wide array of opportunities,
freedoms, rights, safeguards and security. Also, and increasingly important,
potential migrants are convinced that emigration will greatly improve the chances
for better and more secure lives for their children in the future.
Over the recent past the destination countries where potential migrants
say they would like to move have generally remained the same wealthy developed
nations. The most desired destination country, where one in five potential migrants
would like to move, is the United States. In a distant second place is Canada,
followed by Germany, France, Australia and the United Kingdom.In general, those
wanting to emigrate are located mostly in comparatively poor developing countries
where the populations are struggling with poverty, violence and human rights
abuse. The countries where much of the public want to keep others out are found
in both developing and developed regions.
