Which would be the first sentence after rearrangement?

  The correct sequence is: D-A-F-B-C-E. The paragraph starts with statement D as it gives the basic definition of the topic in discussion. This is followed by statement A as it is in continuation to the previous statement and thus, adds more information about the origin of the term discussed here. Statement A is followed by statement F as the “onslaught” here is referring to the event mentioned in the previous statement. Statement F is followed by statement B as “this” here clearly refers to the flop response of India to the onslaught, as a failure at dealing with an attack must have taught a lesson to the nation. Statement B is followed by statement C as it explains how India refuses to own the existence of this term while ignoring its importance. This is followed by statement E which is in continuation of statement C as it also talks about India not accepting this term but since it starts with the word “nor”, it will come after statement C.
