    A recent report in Newsweek says that in American

    the minority groups students but the majority whites as

    well. Many of these students must be of Indian origin,

    It is unlikely that these talented youngsters will come

    back to India, and that is the familiar brain drain

    problem. However, recent statements by the nationspolicy makers indicate that the perception of this issue

    is changing. Brain bank and not brain drain is themore appropriate idea, they suggest, since the

    expertiseof Indians abroad is only deposited in other

    places and not lost.

    This may be so, but this brain bank, like most of

    other banks, is one that primarily serves customers inthe neighbor-hood. The skills of the Asian now excelling

    in Americas colleges will mainly help the USA. Nomatter how significant, what non-resident Indians do

    for India and what their counterparts do for other Asian

    lands in only a by-product.

    But it is also necessary to ask, or be reminded, why

    Indians study more fruitfully when abroad. The Asians

    whose accomplishments Newsweek records would

    have probably had a very different fate if they had

    studied in India. In America they found elbow room,

    books and facilities not available and not likely to be

    available here. The need to prove themselves in theirnew country and the competition of an international

    standard they faced there must have cured mental and

    physical laziness. But other things helping them in

    America can be obtained here if we achieve a change in

    social attitudes, especially towards youth.

    We need to learn to value individuals and their

    unique qualities more than conformity and

    respectability. We need to learn the language of

    encouragement to add to our skill in flattery. We might

    also learn to be less liberal with blame and less tight-

    fisted with appreciation, especially to those showing

    signs of independence.

    101.What is unique about the Asian students ascompared to other groups of students in American

    colleges?

    1) Asian students are of more mixing nature than

    other groups of students.

    2) Asian students are the most successful

    academically.

    3) Asian students get much attention in American

    colleges than any other group of students.

    4) Asian students get easy availability of work in

    America than any other group of students.

    5) None of these

    102.What do you understand by the idea of brainbank?1) the restoration of manpower

    2) the number of manpower

    3) wastage of our manpower

    4) Indians gathering experience abroad

    5) None of these

    103.What is the basic difference between brain bankand brain drain?1) Whereas brain drain means losing our talent,brain bank means depositing our talent.

    2) Whereas brain drain means serving othercountries, brain bank means serving our owncountry.

    3) Whereas brain drain means getting no returnfor ones work, brain bank means becomingsuccessful in life.

    4) brain drain is a national issue whereas brainbank is a global concept.5) None of these

    104.In general, the Indian students studying inAmerica.

    1) can solve the brain drain problem because o

    recent changes in policy.

    2) have a reputation for being excellent in all fields

    3) will not return to pursue their careers in India.

    4) are behind the concept of brain bank.

    5) are behind the concept of brain drain.

    105.Which of the following is true in the context of thepassage?

    1) America is facing the brain problem.

    2) Brain bank is a term which has been talked

    about by American policy-makers.3) Asian students cannot compete with the

    majority whites in American colleges.

    4) The students of Asian origin in America include

    Directions (111-120): Read the following passage

    carefully and answer the questions given below it.

    Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them

    while answering some of the questions.

    Close and confidential relations between Russia

    and India are based on the proximity of their

    fundamental national interests and rest upon thecenturies-old history of peaceful and mutually

    beneficial contacts between the two nations. The

    strength of these bonds has been tested many times in

    critical situations. Time and again, in moments of crisis,

    both New Delhi and Moscow have turned to each other.

    India has been and remains, without any

    reservations, Russias closest and most reliable friendand partner. Of principal importance is the national

    consensus existing in the two countries regarding the

    necessity for developing further cooperation between

    both bilaterally and in the international arena. The

    intensity of political dialogue has been on a steady rise,

    embracing ever new challenges and issues emerging inthe context of a rapidly-changing situation in the world.

    It is based on the convergenceof views with regard to

    major problems of the present days. Summit-level talks

    between president VV Putin and prime minister AB

    Vajpayee and meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs,

    including their interaction at the UN, have become an

    annual feature.

    Trilateral interaction among Russia, India and

    China is gaining momentum and acquiring substance,

    Deliberations on a number of joint working groups set

    up by the foreign ministries are yielding noticeable

    results. The first rounds of the working group on globalchallenges and the working groups on international

    terrorism in Sep-Oct 2003 brought the two countries

    together as de facto allies, once again providing the

    effectiveness and regional security. Russia has

    supported the advancement of the process of

    normalization between India and Pakistan.

    Vajpayees 12 steps to peace initiative addressed tothe leadership of Pakistan has received our full support.

    It provides a realistic and durable basis for the

    resumption of dialogue and settlement of all

    outstanding problems between these two South Asian

    countries on the basis of the 1972 Shimla Accord and

    1998 Lahore Declaration. No doubt, to make it possible

    favourable conditions should be created. First of all, the

    acts of trans-border terrorism along the Line of Control

    in Jammu and Kashmir must be stopped.

    New Delhis views on the situation in Afghanistanand Iraq are consonant with the assessments of our

    diplomacy. Together we are doing our best to restore

    peaceful life there. We are consistently upholding thecentrality of the coordinating role of the United Nations

    and the necessity of concerted actions of the entire

    comity of nations when such crises with internationa

    ramifications take place. We have been successfu

    jointly in mapping the means and avenues of expanding

    the scope of trade and economic cooperation. Highly

    productive deliberations have been held on the

    Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Scientific

    Technological and Cultural Cooperation. Experts are

    actively working out a mechanism for investing the

    rupee assets available to Russia as a result of the

    repayment of Indias debt into promising projects inboth countries.The prospects of cooperation in this sphere give

    rise to optimism. Military and technical cooperation

    being a significant and inalienable segment of the

    special nature of the bilateral relationship, is doing

    splendidly. A number of major deals in the pipeline are

    now being finalised. When signed, they will make a

    considerable contribution to strengthening Indiasdefence capability and security while promoting peace

    and stability in the region. Among the top priorities on

    the Russian-Indian agenda are also our traditionally

    warm people-to-people contacts and cooperation in the

    field of culture. An example of this is the successfufunctioning of the Russian-Indian International Roerich

    Memorial Trust in Naggar in Kullu Valley, Himacha

    Pradesh. Every year the Roerich Museum and Art

    Gallery there are visited by over 100,000 tourists from

    around the country and abroad. It is symbolic that as

    the prime minister visits Moscow, an exhibition on

    Russian culture is on in all major Indian metros

    drawing large audiences.

    This colorful gala marks the renaissance of active

    cultural cooperation between the two countries and

    highlights the special spiritual affection the Russians

    and Indians have for each other. For many centuriesthis magic bridge of culture, stretching over the

    Palmaris and the Himalayas, has spanned our nations

    and together with our Indian friends we keep walking

    along it towards the future horizons of our strategic

    partnership.
