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.

Siachen area does not make us earn any foreign exchange then also we are protecting that area from china so none I strong.

Argument one support for the commercial importance of Kashmir and hence it is strong.

Yeah, definitely whether an area earns foreign exchange or not, we can't let our property to any country.

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.
If we stick to this logic then we should give away all other states which don't earn foreign exchange for us.

Both statements are weak as Kashmir is a relegious hub and not because it exchanges notes.

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.

The answer should be neither 1 or 2 because Kashmir is a part of India, not a tourist spot.

Both are weak arguments. Just because of earnings, India is not fighting for Kashmir. It has been in India ever since Kashmir originated were once Hindu population was more. After the invasion of Afghanise and Mughal, Muslim population started increasing. India is a secular nation where both Hindu and Muslim live together and Kashmir is one of the greatest examples of it. In short, it is about a matter of pride rather than revenue.
