      Hi Parakh
      Need to rephrase your introduction.
      Content is good but you can present it in a better way.
      Like a legacy of the past, communalisation of politics etc.
      Use of flow chart is appreciable,it saves you time as well as space.
      There is a need to add points in way forward, you can write poverty alleviation,providing more employment,reducing educational and economic backwardness in minorities,political communism should be avoided, control on social media etc.
      Think broader.
      Rest of the content is good.
      Work on handwriting.
      Keep writing,you will improve!

      Hi Taran
      Rewrite your introduction, grammatical errors are there.
      Give proper heading like causes of communalism.
      Do not write in probability like it can originate.
      Need to work upon content.
      Add points in causes under subheadings like historical,social.political etc.
      And then in impact you can write ghettoization and refugee problem,threat to unity of the nation,communal riots , barrier to development etc.
      Brainstorm before writing and think of various perspectives.
      Write some way forward and also include the recommendations of Committee on National Integration.
      Work on handwriting and presentation.
      Work hard !

      Hi Mehul
      Do not write the stages of communalism ,as this is a 10 marker question so be crisp and concise while writing.
      You need to work upon content.
      In the causes part, write under the subheadings like historical,political, social etc.
      Then write the impact of communalism and how it acts as a barrier in development.
      Then suggest some way forward.
      Always end with some concluding remarks.
      Read mentor’s comment before writing the answer,it will help you in writing structured answers.
      Work on handwriting, try to write in straight lines.
      Need to improve basic grammar and spellings.
      Work hard,you will improve.
