Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about naming a specific bilateral naval exercise between India and Australia. Vajra Prahar and Cobra Gold can be dismissed right away, since one is an India-US exercise and the other is a Thailand-US led drill, neither involving Australia. Ausind 19 is also wrong, simply because it is not the exercise's actual name.

The correct name is AUSINDEX, and its third edition, held at Visakhapatnam in 2019, brought the Indian and Royal Australian navies together for drills in anti-submarine warfare and maritime surveillance.

So the correct answer is Ausindex 19.

Approach Solution -2

AUSINDEX has run as a recurring bilateral naval exercise between India and Australia, and the way to answer this question is to first isolate which option is even part of that particular exercise series before worrying about the edition number or location.

  1. Vajra Prahar: belongs to a completely different exercise series altogether, involving Indian and American special forces rather than naval assets from India and Australia.
  2. Cobra Gold: is likewise unrelated to the India-Australia naval relationship, since it is organized primarily by Thailand and the United States with a broader multinational lineup.
  3. Ausindex 19: fits both criteria correctly, it is part of the actual AUSINDEX series between the Indian and Royal Australian navies, and the 2019 edition held at Visakhapatnam was indeed its third instalment, featuring drills in submarine detection and surveillance.
  4. Ausind 19: sounds close enough to pass a quick read, but the exercise has never officially gone by this shortened name.

Filtering first by which exercise series each option belongs to leaves only one candidate standing, and its details match exactly.

Therefore, the correct answer is Ausindex 19.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
