Which of the following correctly matches the countries with their political or economic set-up?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Pakistan – militarist political power structure; China – command economy
The three neighbours have very different political set-ups. India is the largest democracy in the world, Pakistan has a militarist political power structure, and China is a command economy.
NCERT (2026-27): “8.1 Introduction … It has to be remembered that despite being endowed with vast natural resources, there is little similarity between the political power setup of India - the largest democracy of the world which is wedded to a secular and deeply liberal Constitution for more than half a century, and the militarist political power structure of Pakistan or the command economy of China that has only recently started moving towards a democratic system and more liberal economic restructuring respectively.” |
