Statement: Should India give away Kashmir to Pakistan?
Arguments:
- No. Kashmir is a beautiful state. It earns a lot of foreign exchange for India.
- Yes. This would help settle conflicts.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, India cannot part with a state that is a major foreign exchange earner to it. So, argument I holds strong. Further, giving away a piece of land unconditionally and unreasonably is no solution to settle disputes. So, argument II is vague.

I think option (E) is Best because Firstly India is earning good through foreign visits that's good and a strong argument and Secondly Kashmir is the only cleft between Pakistan and India and due to this issue hundreds of different problems are taking place between both countries.

Both are very cheap arguments. Entire Pakistan, Bangladesh even Afghanistan was the part of India. Kashmir is not something that can be used for earning money.
Every part of India is earning some money. I was supposing that I would find a wise argument.

But due to this many terrorist attacks are going on in India and many are losing their lives. But we cant accept giving the land easily without any reason. It makes many countries misunderstand that we are coward people.

For sure we should not give away Kashmir but just because it earns foreign exchange is wrong according to me.
If we stick to this logic then we should give away all other states which don't earn foreign exchange for us.

We do not preserve something because its beautiful. If something has been a part of us, it shall remain as it is. So, I is wrong. We should not part away with Kashmir because it belongs to us since the olden days.

Conditions in kashmir are not very good. People are afraid of going there, hence it brings less people in the state so how it will be helpful in earning foreign exchange.

I agree with you people. Both are weak arguments. Kashmir have no foreign currency output so its a wrong arg. Itself. II is also weak or wrong as its not proven.
