“For if it were accepted as a result of argument, the refutation of the argument might shake the solidity of the conviction; but when it rests solely on feeling, worse it fares in argumentative contest, the more persuaded adherents are that their feeling must have some deeper ground, which the arguments do not reach; and while the feeling remains, it is always throwing up fresh entrenchments of argument to repair any breach made in the old.”

The framers of the Indian Constitution have thought well in advance and ensured to provide adequate and mandatory provisions in the Constitution of India to provide justice in all aspects of life, equality in status, social security and economic/financial safeguards to the weaker sections of the society. The successive governments have recognised the social and economic imperatives for broader financial inclusion and have made significant policy changes from time to time by finding innovative ways to bring the poor at par with the rest of the society. The successive Governments in India have also made essential amendments to the constitution and brought legislative framework to ensure social and economic safeguards to the deprived sections of the society.

In the context of India, which of the following best reflects the critical message of the passage?

We have heard a good deal in recent years about the declining importance of the twomajor political parties. It is the mass media, we are told, that decide the outcome of elections, not the power of the parties. But it is worth noting that no independent or third-party candidate has won any important election in recent years, and in the last nationwide Campaign, the two major parties raised and spent more money than ever before in support of their candidates and platforms. It seems clear that reports of the imminent demise of the two-party system are premature at best.

With reference to above passage, following assumptions have been made:

The adoption of the market economy heralded a new era in which States came to occupy a strategic position in India’s market led economy. The Centre has even gone to the extent of encouraging states to negotiate loans / FDI with overseas banks / institutions directly since the 1990s. With the Centre’s grants in aid no longer being seen as the only source for financing their expenditure, States compete to attract FDI. And positively so, the Centre is not being seen as an obstacle but as a facilitator. Still, approval for FDIs is centralized with the DPIIT being the nodal Ministry at the centre for FDI approvals. In many cases, the DPIIT has to transfer the proposal for FDI licensing to the other central Ministries in whose Rules of Business the subject matter of proposal may fall. In proposals where land border issues or security issues arise, the concurrence of other nodal ministries may also be sought.

As per the above passage, which of the following assumption(s) can be made?

1. Opening up of financial opportunities for states has improved fiscal federalism in India.
2. Opportunities for states to attract the FDI in India are limited.
