Practice Setthreatening the world, including the US, the EU, India,Russia and China, to say nothing of the Central Asianstates, which cower before the Uzbek terrorists trained inPakistan.

Manmohan Singh's reaction to an act of terrorism inJammu on the eve of his meeting with Sharif was brave andstatesmanlike, given the negative press he has at homeand the populist atmospherics of the coming elections inIndia. He said he would not be deterred by terrorism whiletalking peace with Pakistan. While in New York, he metPresident Barack Obama – who could not find time for hisPakistani counterpart – and agreed to meet Sharif, withcaveats against pinning high hopes on the meeting.

Sharif's reference to Kashmir at the UNGA was aimedmore at audiences at home than at India. He also expressedPakistan's newfound plaint about the "unjust" globalsystem created by a flawed UN and called, unrealistically,for reforms in the world body. At home, right-wing TVanchors and newspaper reporters were pleased that "hespoke softly but gave a harsh message". Some were putoff because he was not "fiery" enough, meaning that helacked in denunciatory "Chavizmo" or the parading of apoor man's useless tumescence in global politics.

Ace anchor Kamran Khan gave the familiar, butrepeatedly defeated, spin to the Jammu attack on Indianpolice and military troops: "The attacks inflicted a heavyloss to the Indian army and police and also revived theassertion that no effort for peace between Pakistan andIndia could bear fruit until the Kashmir issue was resolved."

Sharif was toeing the Foreign Office line, which hastraditionally toed the Pakistan army line, built on the frozengeopolitical position on India as a permanent enemyopposed to the very existence of Pakistan. The last bit issupported by the textbook brainwash in the schools ofPakistan, particularly Punjab, currently ruled by Sharif'srightwing PML(N).

His plaint about Kashmir not finding place on theroster of issues at the UN was purely for homeconsumption, because the 1972 Indo-Pak Simla Agreementhad forever assigned it to bilateral dialogue. Pakistan had– wrongly – tried to move the International Court of Justice(ICJ) against India for the 1999 shooting down of asurveillance aircraft. The ICJ, while asserting that it had nojurisdiction over the matter, gratuitously advised Pakistanto abide by the 1972 change of status of all disputes.51. Why did the issue of Kashmir not figure on the roster

of issues at the UN?1) Because the UN does not want to poke its nose in

such a complicated issue.2) Because the Kashmir issue is not so important in

comaprison to other global issues.3) Because, as per the Indo - Pak Shimla Agreement

1972, Kashmir issue can be resolved only through

onset of any disease.(C) Relief operatioin should be planned in advance.1) Only A and B 2) Only B and C 3) Only C4) All the above 5) None of these

Test-II: English LanguageDirections (Q. 51-65): Read the passage carefully

and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you locate them whileanswering some of the questions.

Things have got so bad between India and Pakistanthat when they talk peace it looks like war. Their primeministers were to address the 65th annual session of theUnited Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New Yorkand then meet on the sidelines.

One day Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made some ill-advised, bellicose, Kashmir-related remarks against Indiain his speech at the UNGA. On the following day PrimeMinister Manmohan Singh lashed out at Pakistan in hisspeech. Before they met the next day Sharif reportedlycalled Singh a "village hag" (sic) off the record and putpaid to whatever diplomatic gains he had counted on. Afterthat, the meeting could not be one-on-one.

Back home, the Indo-Pak media war was savage,sharpened by BJP leader Narendra Modi's explosivereaction to the "village hag" remark. One channel pittedthe notoriously visceral Pakistani politician Sheikh RashidAhmed against Hindu and Muslim Indians, scoring browniepoints while anchors lost their neutral cool.

The New York meeting achieved nothing except avague agreement on sorting out the recent Line of Controlincidents through armies that hate each other. Pakistan'sreference to Indian terrorism in Balochistan was correctbut not comparable to India's globally accepteddesignation of Pakistan as the epicentre of terrorism,
