Answer: (c) 1 and 3 only

• Statement 2 Incorrect: Indonesia was welcomed, but its status was not explicitly confirmed as a full member.
• Statement 3  Correct: Russia and China reiterated support for India and Brazil’s aspirations to play a greater role in the UN Security Council.
• Statement 4 Incorrect: The declaration condemned the Israel-U.S. strikes as violations of international law and the UN Charter.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect. The military engagement did occur; the issue was not military execution but communication.
• Option B is incorrect. While international diplomacy is important, the article did not highlight UN engagement as the primary flaw.
• Option C is correct. The core argument of the article is that India lacked a unified and institutionalised strategic communication framework, which contrasted sharply with the Kargil War model involving daily briefings, coordinated messaging, and credible spokespersons.
• Option D is a partial truth. While media sensationalism was a problem, the core failure was a lack of strategic coherence, not media format.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect. The EC did not cancel the process.
• Option B is misleading. The EC allowed delayed submission, not full removal of documentation.
• Option C is correct. The advertisement led to misinterpretation, prompting claims that EC had softened its stance.
• Option D is factually incorrect. No such Supreme Court directive was issued.
