(a) Pakistan (b) Bangladaish (c) China (d) India Short Question Q1: What are the Indian and Pakistani Perspectives on Kashmir?

The Indian Approach At the core of Indian position on Kashmir is New Delhi's claim that the decision of the Maharaja Hari Singh to accede to the Indian Union, regardless of its circumstances, is final and legal and it cannot be disputed. If there is any unfinished business of partition, it is the requirement that Pakistan relinquish control of that part of Jammu and Kashmir that it illegally occupies. The Pakistani Approach The state's accession to India in October 1947 was provisional and executed under the coercive pressure of Indian military presence. The disputed status of J & K is acknowledged in the UN Security Council resolutions of August 13, 1948 and January 5, 1949, to which both Pakistan and India agreed.

Q2:

Why Kashmir issue is not being settled through UN?

1. Pakistan has gifted Shaksgam valley to China 2. Per UN resolution, BEFORE Indian soldiers withdraw, ALL pakistani soldiers must withdraw Pakistan has shown contempt for UN by not following UN resolution which demands full withdrawal of Pakistani soldiers from POK and Gilgit 3. UN banned demographic changes. India has article 370 which prohibits non-Kashmiris from migrating to kashmir,. whereas Pakistan has changed demographics 4. In 1947, Kashmiri muslims fought for India under Sheikh Abdullah, against Pakistan and Sheikh Abdullah spoke at UN in favor of India 5. At this time, most world powers hate islam and muslims and will not allow another muslim state to form. China is worried that if kashmir becomes islamic state. islamism will be exported to Xinjiang. Russia is worried that if kashmir becomes islamic, it will have more islamism in Chechnya 6. Actually western developed countries want both the community must not remain in peace or both may developed and will be stronger than western .

Q3:

What is MFN ? Why India demands MFN status from Pakistan?

"Most favoured nation" (MFN) is a status or level of treatment accorded by one state to another in international trade. The term means the country which is the recipient of this treatment must, nominally, receive equal trade advantages as the "most favoured nation" by the country granting such treatment. India is now forcefully demanding that Pakistan should give it the status of MFN which would result in a five fold increase in bilateral trade, from $2 billion to $10 billion between the two countries. India granted MFN status to Pakistan in 1996 but Pakistan has not yet reciprocated in the same manner said Indian officials. Q4: What is indus water treaty?

The Indus Waters Treaty is a water-sharing treaty between India and Pakistan. The treaty was signed in Karachi on September 19, 1960 by the then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the then President of Pakistan Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan. The World Bank (then the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) is a signatory as a third party. Provisions The Indus System of Rivers comprises three Eastern Rivers - the Sutlej, the Beas and the Ravi; and three Western Rivers - the Indus, the Jhelum and Chenab. With minor exceptions, the treaty gives India exclusive use of all of the waters of the Eastern Rivers and their tributaries before the point where the rivers enter Pakistan. Similarly, Pakistan has exclusive use of the Western Rivers. Pakistan also received one-time financial compensation for the loss of water from the

Eastern

rivers.

Q5:

What is the difference between SAFTA, SAPTA, and Bilateral Trade ?

South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA): is an agreement created a free trade area of 1.6 billion people in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The seven foreign ministers of the region signed a framework agreement on SAFTA to reduce customs duties of all traded goods to zero by the year 2016. The purpose of SAFTA is to encourage and elevate common contract among the countries such as medium and long term contracts South Asian Preferential Trade Arrangement (SAPTA) :An inter-government group (IGG) formed by South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) members to negotiation incremental tariff reforms between member countries. The goal is to increase trade between Asian countries and to assist less economically advantaged members through preferential treatment. Bilateral Trade: Bilateral trade or clearing trade is trade exclusively between two states,
particularly, barter trade based on bilateral deals between governments, and without using hard currency for payment.

(a) Preventing the superpower from launching the first strike (b) Support conventional force (c) Reduce superpower global reach (d) To eliminate second strike Short Question: Q1: what is nuclear proliferation and why the world is proliferated with the nuclear weapon? Nuclear proliferation is the spread of nuclear weapons, fissile material, and weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information to nations not recognized as "Nuclear Weapon States" by

the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also known as the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty or NPT. The world is proliferated because of the following reason. This is the natural phenomena that every person in this world wants to grab more power and more resources so that to overcome the other people. Similarly Every country has its own vital interest and needs security. The state needs power in order to protect his vital interest and safeguard his self against the hostile countries. So they started to increase military power and nuclear power so that to protect them self against the hostile country. Q2: Define IAEA ? what is its mission?

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and to inhibit its use for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons. The IAEA was established as an autonomous organization on 29 July 1957. The IAEA is generally described as having three main missions:

Peaceful uses: Promoting the peaceful uses of nuclear energy by its member states, Safeguards: Implementing safeguards to verify that nuclear energy is not used for military purposes, and Nuclear safety: Promoting high standards for nuclear safety. What can and should be done to minimize the risks of nuclear proliferation? A. There is a wide-ranging number of mutually reinforcing antiproliferation measures that can be undertaken immediately:

Q3:

1. Secure existing nuclear explosives, and enriched uranium that can fuel nuclear explosives, against theft or clandestine purchase. 2. Limit production of 5 percent enriched uranium as fuel for civilian nuclear reactors only in few centers globally, combined with formal unconditional guarantees of supply to nations with nuclear power plants, and so break the nexus between civilian nuclear power and the sub rosa proliferation of nuclear weapons to additional states. 3. De-emphasize the utility of nuclear weapons in the defense planning of nuclear nations, especially in the cases of the United States, Russia, Israel, Pakistan and India. 4. Strengthen the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) verification of reprocessing facilities in nations with nuclear power plants, and of the routine operations of CANDU reactors. 5. Reduce the number of deliverable nuclear weapons in the arsenals of nuclear nations and especially those of the United States and Russia, ultimately leading toward the complete elimination of such weapons. 6. Adopt a complete "no first use" agreement among all nuclear states.

Q4:

what is Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) ? and Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty?

An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) is a missile designed to counter ballistic missiles. Ballistic missiles are used to deliver nuclear, chemical, biological or conventional warheads in a ballistic flight trajectory. The term "anti-ballistic missile" describes any antimissile system designed to counter ballistic missiles. However, the term is used more commonly for systems designed to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM Treaty or ABMT) was a treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union on the limitation of the anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems used in defending areas against missile-delivered nuclear weapons. Q5: what is nuclear Fission?

nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of a particle splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei). The fission process often produces free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays), and releases a very large amount of energy even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay. Atomic bomb or atom bomb, is a fission reactor designed to liberate as much energy as possible as rapidly as possible, before the released energy causes the reactor to explode
