Q3. X, the name by which this entity is currently known, is not its initial name.

In 1947, something happened due to which the role of X changed to the exact opposite of the former one. In 1952, the Coastal Safety Force was formed with the help of the United States which wanted the country to be atleast partly self-dependent when it came to its security
