Directions (Q. 31-39): Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.

Ariel Sharon's visit to India is a historic one. Not only is it the first ever by any Israeli
prime minister, but it also opens a new chapter in cooperation between the two countries which
has multiplied manifold since the establishment of full-fledged diplomatic relations in 1992. It is
understood that the present and former Israeli PMs had been keen on visiting India for quite
some time, but the ball was lying in New Delhi's court.

Sharon's visit is likely to focus on bolstering strategic partnership – highlighting the

horrors of terrorism and the need to cooperate to effectively combat the scourge as also to boost
defence and trade cooperation. Indeed, of late, the focus of Indo-Israeli cooperation has been in
the areas of security and anti-terrorism which found a further impetus in the wake of the 9/11
attacks in the US and the December 13 attack on the Indian Parliament.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Israel has become India's second-largest
arms supplier after Russia. Now Delhi now may be Israel's largest arms purchaser. Several
billion dollars worth of arms deals have either been signed or are under way, including joint
ventures to upgrade Soviet-era planes as well as Indian purchase of Israeli sea-to-sea missiles
and hi-tech border monitoring systems. The US has given a green signal to the Israeli sale of the
Phalcon radar system to India and is reportedly considering lifting limits on Israel exporting
defence systems against ballistic missiles which could enable Delhi to purchase Israel's Arrow
anti-missile defence systems. Although, the security and intelligence cooperation is forming the
core of relation in recent years the blooming romance between the two extends beyond the
struggle against terrorism. Ties have diversified and huge strides have been made since 1992.
Following the decades of political alienation and economic estrangement, there has been a
perceived sense of growing convergence of interests.

Relations between the two had remained strained until 1992 as Nehruvian policies kept
both the countries away from each other for decades. During the independence movement, Nehru
and Gandhi did not favour the Zionist claim to Palestine and saw a fundamental difference
between the Zionist movement and Indian national movement. The Hindu nationalist movement,
however, saw Israel through a different prism. The Nehruvian perspective guided India's West
Asia police for decades after Independence and India, while recognizing Israel but not
establishing diplomatic relations, allied itself with the Arabs. Also, on a more pragmatic level,
India needed oil and strong business ties with the Arab countries.

However, the new world order of the Nineties changed India's perception. Indian policy-
makers started viewing its West Asia policy not necessarily as a zero-sum game and New Delhi
started playing both sides – Israeli and Arab – in the region. Repeated pro-Pakistani resolution on
Kashmir by the OIC and Israel's consistent support of the Indian position on Kashmir also
encouraged India to re-evaluate its West Asia policy. Ever since, New Delhi has consistently
reiterated India's support for the Palestinian cause but has simultaneously nurtured warm ties
with the Jewish State. Even before forging formal ties with Israel, Indian army and military
intelligence officers are believed to have been receiving training in Israel since the Eighties.
