Questions (page 2)

Q1. 1. ‘प्रजासत्ताक व्यवस्था : किती वास्तव किती आभासी'. खाली दिलेल्या इंग्रजी उताऱ्याचे मराठीत भाषांतर करा.

Q2. 2. 25 Russia's occupation of Crimea and its military threat to Ukraine's sovereignty have suddenly challenged the commonly-held assumption that the era of territorial annexation ended in 1991, when the world's collective action reversed Iraq's attempt to swallow Kuwait. Those concerned about China's aggressive claims fear the Crimea precedent may have emboldened Beijing in its attempt to set up a giant oil drilling rig within Vietnam's territorial waters claimed by China. Apart from urging restraint on both sides world powers are reluctant to complicate their important relations with China. By employing its law-enforcement vessels, and water cannons rather than guns, China too wants to keep the conflict at a low boil. P.T.O.
