Statement: Should India give away Kashmir to Pakistan?

Arguments:

  1. No. Kashmir is a beautiful state. It earns a lot of foreign exchange for India.
  2. Yes. This would help settle conflicts.
Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong
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.

Both the statements are weak for me. Not giving Kashmir just to earn foreign exchange so it is meaning less.

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

This is a debatable topic. How can someone correct one answer and set other answer as wrong?

Sayan said:   8 years ago
The answer should be neither 1 or 2 because Kashmir is a part of India, not a tourist spot.

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

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