​1 is Valid:
The text explicitly mentions seven 'Sanskriti Angans'.

The zones, inspired by temples, showcased regional artistry.

​3 is Invalid:

​4 is Invalid:
The passage mentions "diverse regions," not all regions of India.

​Question 7:

​Option (a) is incorrect

The passage mentions paintings from only two states (Bengal and Tamil Nadu).

India survived the 1991 geopolitical earthquake, but are we ready for today’s global shocks.

Here are 3 brutal foreign policy lessons every strategic mind must know.

​𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬

​Drawing parallels between India’s 1991 crises and today’s upheavals

C. Raja Mohan outlines three core lessons for managing global disruption:

​𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲.

The global balance of power is transient. Foreign policy must avoid sentimental alignments, focusing instead on objective assessments of partner nations.

Unpredictability is a permanent feature of international relations.

​𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐞:

A rigid consensus creates strategic blind spots. Policy institutions must actively encourage contrarian judgments, challenge legacy assumptions, and invest heavily in specialized regional expertise.

​𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦:

Diplomatic maneuvering alone cannot insulate a country from systemic external shocks.
