The South China Sea is important not just to its littoral countries but to the others as well. But China’s growing inclination to change the status quo there harms the interests of other stakeholders. In light of this suggest the relevant options that India could exercise. 10 marks

      Hi Parakh
      Lackluster introduction, highlight the importance of the South China Sea as a vital sea lane to the global economy.
      In the issue part, explain the growing discontent of other countries with China.
      You have written in the solution part that India should leverage its position in WHO, how it will help ?
      Write points like – India must continue to actively pursue this in the Indo-Pacific region by:
      -Increasing military training and conduct exercises and exchanges at a higher level of complexity
      -Extend Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief activities
      -Share patrolling of the Malacca Strait with the littoral countries, etc.
      Work on content.
      Improve your handwriting and presentation to get better marks.
      Keep writing,you will improve.

      Hi Uttam
      Work on your introduction, do not tell where is south china sea, instead highlight the importance of the South China Sea as a vital sea lane to the global economy.
      You have diverted from the demand of the question, write how China is changing the status quo in the South China Sea, write points like growing Chinese muscularity,Chinese exploration, increased protests by the other countries etc.
      Adhere to the demand of the question.
      Increased dependency on South China Sea can never be a good option for India, brainstorm before writing.
      Write points like – India must continue to actively pursue this in the Indo-Pacific region by:

      Hi Dakshina
      Good introduction.
      You have explained the issues in South China Sea in a decent manner.
      Instead of writing- ‘building partnerships’ , give heading ‘Options for India and Way Forward’ .
      Give proper heading, building partnership is a point not the heading.

      Hi Amandeep
      Scan properly.
      Work on your handwriting, write little small and avoid scribbling.
      Write briefly the significance and come to the main demand of the question, how China is changing the status quo in the South China Sea, write points like growing Chinese muscularity,Chinese exploration, increased protests by the other countries etc.
      Way forward is well explained.
      Conclusion is missing, conclude by highlighting the need for rule-based global order respecting the international laws.
      Work on presentation.
      Keep working hard,you will improve.

      Hi Vinay
      Good introduction.
      Do not come directly to the options that India can exercise, write briefly the significance and come to the main demand of the question, how China is changing the status quo in the South China Sea, write points like growing Chinese muscularity,Chinese exploration, increased protests by the other countries etc.
      Then come to India’s role .
      Follow a proper structure.
