Mentor’s comment-
  • https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/a-strategy-for-india-in-a-world-that-is-adrift/article36867249.ece
  • In the intro, mention the emergence of China as a global power and the relative decline of the US power.
  • In the body, mention the lack of coherent international response to Covid pandemic, ineffective international response to climate change underlines the fact that the world is in between the orders. Next mention the fact that India is going to remain at the focus of geopolitical rivalries. In the opportunities mention that increasing security congruence with the U.S. could enable growing cooperation in fields significant for India’s transformation. Also mention that the increasing possibility of working with partners in the developing world building broader coalitions on issues of common interest.
  • Conclude by mentioning that we cannot separate our domestic trajectory from the external course we need to pursue to transform India into a strong, secure and prosperous country.

      Decent attempt, but the answer looks a bit like essay. Give subheadings for respective sections if possible.

      Content is fine, you have written about rise of multipolar order well. In challenges for India, mention 1-2 points other than China also..you can mention test of strategic autonomy policy, rising protectionism which will impact India, debate between developing and developed country etc

      Opportunities part is fine. Mention a bit about regional security architecture especially Indo-Pacific and how India can be an important player with the backing of Quad countries and goodwill of ASEAN etc
      Conclusion is good. Keep writing 🙂

      Nice answer. Your content is good, knowledge is also fine.

      In challenges part, you can also mention the pandemic, that is lack of coherent response, also ineffectiveness of multilateral institutions can be mentioned. The emerging world order will also be a test for India’s strategic autonomy.

      In opportunities, mention some more angles..like cooperation over climate change, terrorism etc; otherwise most of the points are fine.

      Keep practicing. 🙂
