      Hi Deepika
      Good introduction.
      Use of flow chart is appreciable.
      You have explained the diplomatic tools available to India in a decent manner.
      Some good points in the way forward, also write that smaller countries of Asia, which constantly face China’s aggressive interference in their internal affairs, have not received much support from India, and this needs India’s attention.
      Good conclusion.
      The content is good and well placed.
      Keep writing, you will succeed.

      Hi Dakshina
      Good introduction.
      First explain the issues with using military power, you can write that it will rise the tensions in the region, loss of human resource and property and it may lead to another world war.
      Diplomatic tools are well explained.
      Some good points in the way forward, you can also write that India’s true strength is its unity in diversity – and China has not comprehended the innate value India attaches to reaching out to leaders of different religions, in particular the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, with no strings attached.
      Good conclusion.
      A decent attempt.
      Keep writing.

      Hi Sneha
      Good introduction but need to summarise it.
      Explain briefly the issues with using military power in a separate paragraph or a flow chart.
      In the measures, write that India should revitalise cultivation of foreign leaders with a view to draw their specific attention to China’s aggressive policies and designs. (India’s relationship with NAM needs to be revitalised.)
      Good conclusion.
      The content is diverse, keep it up.
      Keep writing.

      Hi Unnati
      Good introduction.
      First explain the issues with using military power, you can write that it will rise the tensions in the region, loss of human resource and property and it may lead to another world war.
      Diplomatic tools are well explained.
      Use of flow chart is appreciable but try to make it little neat.
      Suggested strategy is decent.
      You can also write that India’s true strength is its unity in diversity – and China has not comprehended the innate value India attaches to reaching out to leaders of different religions, in particular the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, with no strings attached.
      You can also make a map diagram.
      Work on handwriting.
      Avoid scribbling and make your ‘s’ properly.
      Avoid grammatical mistakes, use capital and small alphabets wisely.
      The content is good and well placed but need to work on presentation to fetch better marks.
      Keep writing, you will succeed.
