9. Passage 3: Read the passages given below and answer the questions No. 77-84
The Clinton administration's early emphasis on the promotion of human rights, nonproliferation and preventive diplomacy fused into activism on Kashmir. Just when the two sides needed to build trust and confidence in each other, US diplomacy on Kashmir and nuclear non-proliferation stirred deep anxieties in India about American intentions and motivations. What from the American view point appeared as an attempt to address the problems of stability in the subcontinent was seen in India as inimical to two of India's core national security interests- its territorial integrity and the preservation of the nuclear option. The US forays in Kashmir appeared to India as an intervention on behalf of Pakistan when Islarnabad was determined to take advantage of New Delhi's political troubles in the Kashmir valley; the American refusal to countenance the brazen Pakistani support of terrorism added insult to Indian injury. Furthermore, the relentless American pressure in the 1990s on India's nuclear and missile programmes and its attempts to cap, reduce and elirninate over a period of time Lrdia's strategic prograrnmes suggested that Washington had no desire to accommodate lndia's political aspirations on the world stage, Ali the political energies in India-US relations were expended in dealing with these two problems but with no real movement forward. It was only at the end of 1990s, when India first defied the United States on the CTBT and then tested nuclear weapons, that Washington was forced to take more pragmatic approach to India. Although President Clinton's visit dramatically changed the tone and tenor of Arnerican attitude towards India, it was the Bush administration that opened the doors for a long-term strategic relationship between New Delhi and Washington.

Ping-pong diplomacy refers to the exchange of table tennis players between the United States and China in the early 1970s, which played a significant role in thawing the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The most notable event was in 1971 when the American table tennis team was invited to visit China, leading to a series of friendly matches and opening the door to improved relations and the eventual visit of President Richard Nixon to China in 1972. ________________
Wrestling diplomacy between the United States and Iran has been a notable form of cultural exchange and soft diplomacy.

This event was not only a sports competition but also a significant cultural exchange and a step toward easing tensions between the two superpowers.
