Mentor’s comment-
  • https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/recalibrating-india-nepal-ties/article33215647.ece
  • In the intro, mention the recent straining of relations between the two countries over the border issue.
  • In the body, discuss the various factors like perception over aid provided by India which is viewed differently in both the countries, linking anti-India feeling in Nepal with nationalism, people-to-people ties and its significance for the people in both the countries, the growing role of China in Nepal etc. In the next part mention why India needs to reconsider these factors in changing circumstances.
  • Conclude by mentioning the need for a rethink of the dynamics of the relationship and acting on it.

      Hi Krushna
      Good introduction.
      You have met the demand of the question in a decent manner.
      As this is a IR question, try making a diagrammatic presentation.
      Work on space management.
      Underline keywords and improve presentation to fetch better marks.
      Keep writing.

      Hi Arun
      Good introduction.
      Use of map diagram is appreciable but try to give proper markings on it.
      Mention some historical background like Treaty of Saguali, 1816.
      Lackluster conclusion, conclude by reasserting the significance of good relations with Nepal.
      Work on presentation, underline keywords.
      Keep working hard.
