      Decent attempt. In intro, it will be good if you briefly explain UAPA first then move ahead, otherwise it is fine.
      In issues, points are good. Mention about delay in filing chargesheet by the police as well as delay in investigation, thereby making the process itself a punishment.
      Suggestions are fine, mention of some report or SC judgement can be done. Conclusion is fine.
      Keep writing. Also, keep working on your handwriting. 🙂

      Hello

      Intro is fine. In issues, rather than using term like leftist intellectuals, use dissenters against state, used to suppress voices- can mention fundamental right article 19 violation also.
      Use some data to substantiate your points- can mention low conviction rate (2.2%), high pendency rate etc. Also, talk about things like delay in filing chargesheet by the police as well as delay in investigation, thereby making the process itself a punishment; stringent bail provisions etc
      Try to be bit specific in answers- “better analysis, adequate regulation”- are all very generic terms- mention some specific things- whether law should be repealed, what terms should be redefined etc
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      Nice attempt. Intro is good, issues mentioned are also fine. You have mentioned examples, that is also good. You can use of some data points to substantiate your arguments for example data about rising arrests in past 3-4 years, low conviction rate of 2.2%, high number of cases pending etc
      Other points are fine.
      After this section, very briefly you can mention points in favor of the law- the reason why it hasn’t been repealed and then continue to way forward.
      Points in way forward are good, conclusion is also fine.
      Overall good attempt, both presentation and content wise.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      5.5/10

      Nice answer. Intro is good, content of the answer is also good. Your answer is data-rich, that is also fine.
      Issues mentioned are good. However, after that it will be better if you take a bit balanced view. Mention 1-2 points after issues in favour of the law- national security, deters terrorist activities etc and then talk of amendment rather than straightaway repeal. You can also mention some vague terms which need to be redefined.
      Conclusion about judiciary is fine.
      Keep writing. 🙂
