  • https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/indias-political-divergence-turkism-internationalism-7624600/
  • In the intro, mention that Turkey has been using regionalism and internationalism for furthering its national interests.
  • In the body, mention Turkey growing significance in the region whether in projecting military power, economic power, projection of soft power through regional initiatives and its ambition for the leadership of the Islamic world. In the next part, mention the difference between India and Turkey on the issues of Kashmir, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Also mention the need for sustained dialogue between the two countries.
  • Conclude by mentioning that hard-headed approach in Delhi might open new possibilities with Ankara and in Turkey’s Eurasian periphery.

      Decent attempt. Intro is fine, after that you can give the next subheading as examples of Pan-Turkism rather than consequences, consequences are still awaited- it is more like an evolving idea.
      Points mentioned are good, add some points regarding increasing soft power and economic power of Turkey. Also, organisation of Turkic states can be elaborated a bit better.
      Challenges for India can be mentioned as a separate sub-heading where you can mention Kashmir, Pak alliance, troubled history with India etc
      Proposed engagement part is fine- you can also mention Turkey’s double standard approach itself(giving some examples) which also offer a lesson for India.
      Conclusion part is fine.
      Keep writing. 🙂
