Question

Each of the following questions consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. Choose the correct answer:

**Statement:** Should India change its course from the economic reform process and focus inward for comprehensive economic development?

**Arguments:**

I. No. Once the reform process has begun, there is no option but to continue forward.

II. Yes. Adopting reforms based on Western models may harm India's economy in the long term.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. **Argument I:** It states that since the economic reform process has already started, India should not reverse course. This is a strong argument because economic reforms are typically gradual and reversing them abruptly can cause instability and loss of investor confidence.

2. **Argument II:** It suggests that the reform process, which is influenced by Western models, might negatively impact India's economy in the long run, and hence India should focus inward. This is also a strong argument because blindly following foreign models without adapting to local conditions can have adverse effects.

3. Both arguments present valid points from different perspectives — one emphasizing continuity and stability, the other cautioning against potential negative impacts of external models.

**Answer:** (e) Both arguments I and II are strong
