Question

Give your own opinion about:

Do you agree with the statement: 'Hurdles are created in the way of internal development due to tense relations of India with neighbouring countries.' Explain with reasons.

Answer 1

Yes, hurdles are created in internal development:

1. Conflict with countries over the border can put India under the threat of an attack at the border like the Chinese attack of 1962.
2. Disagreements with nations can become an obstacle in the trade activities between the two countries which in turn may affect a lot of people.
3. Tense relations with neighbouring countries can lead to increased military alertness which destroys a peaceful environment.
