Current Affairs Past Paper 2010

A strong centre, a watching region and a new American president frame the Current Affairs past paper 2010. Q.2 discusses the overbearing centre’s supremacy in the federation and the demand for provincial autonomy that it breeds. Q.3 casts Pakistan as the natural link that connects the SCO states with the Eurasian heartland, the Arabian Sea and South Asia, and it defends Pakistan’s claim for SCO membership. Q.4 digs at corruption and accountability: corruption rises despite six decades of efforts to eradicate it, and candidates must find the root cause. Q.5 reads President Obama’s extended hand of friendship to China as a new era of realist diplomacy in Washington and highlights the new dimensions of US foreign policy. Q.6 seeks measures that bridge the trust deficit between Pakistan and India and restart the stalled composite dialogue. Q.7 calls the new Afghan strategy of the United States a veiled request for a safe exit and a gamble with a high price. Q.8 offers notes on the Liberhan Commission Report, the Aghaz-e-Haqooq Balochistan Package, Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories and Chinese aided development projects in Pakistan.
