Q3:
Consider the following statements regarding Operation Sindoor: Statement 1: Operation Sindoor is an example of India’s traditional defensive posture in cross-border military strategy. Which of the following is correct?
Statement 2: India aims to impose strategic and reputational costs on terror sponsors through precision strikes.
A: Both statements are correct, and Statement 2 explains Statement 1
B: Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1
C: Statement 1 is incorrect, but Statement 2 is correct
D: Both statements are incorrect
Answer: C
Explanation:
Operation Sindoor represents a shift from India’s defensive posture to a more assertive, preemptive, and deterrence-based military strategy, especially after the Uri (2016) and Balakot (2019) strikes. It involved coordinated strikes across multiple terror-linked sites, marking a doctrinal change that emphasizes proactive disruption of cross-border threats. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 2 is correct—India’s operations are designed to impose both strategic and reputational costs on state and non-state sponsors of terrorism, signaling that proxy warfare will be met with calibrated, high-impact responses.
Q4:
Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The India–UK FTA includes social security exemptions for Indian workers in the UK. Which one of the following is correct?

A: Both statements are correct, and Statement 2 explains Statement 1
B: Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1
C: Statement 1 is correct, but Statement 2 is incorrect
D: Both statements are incorrect
Answer: A
Explanation:
The FTA includes a landmark provision under a Double Contribution Convention, exempting Indian workers posted in the UK from paying into UK social security for up to three years. This reduces the financial burden for Indian employees and employers abroad, thereby encouraging short-term labour mobility without dual social security deductions.
