What is the theme of the India-Myanmar exercise 'Rahat Mitra'?
- A.Partners in Peace, Partners in Progress
- B.Together for Humanity, Stronger through Partnership
- C.Security and Growth for All in the Region
- D.One Ocean, One Mission
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Together for Humanity, Stronger through Partnership'. Exercise Rahat Mitra, the first bilateral tri-services HADR exercise between India and Myanmar, is centred on this theme, which captures its two aims: humanitarian help in disasters and closer defence ties between the neighbours. Option A, 'Partners in Peace, Partners in Progress', is wrong; it is a made-up slogan and is not the theme of this exercise. Option C, 'Security and Growth for All in the Region', is wrong; it resembles the old SAGAR idea, and the exercise is linked to the newer MAHASAGAR vision (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions), but that vision is a policy, not the exercise theme. Option D, 'One Ocean, One Mission', is wrong because it has no link to this drill. Themes are often asked, so learn the exact wording.
