Hello AB,
-There are very few information in your introduction…though the policing in governed by police act of 1861, they should certainly not represent fear and suppression rather they should be seen as maintaining discipline and just order…
-The ideas in 2nd para varies point wise…like they are unpaid, over worked, dependent on seniors etc…does not seem the relevant or most important reasons for bringing reforms…(Refer our model answer)
-The rest of the points seems good and well written…
Overall, good one…keep it up…keep writing…

Hi Lekha,
-Introduction seems poor…our intro should explain directly about economic sanction rather making plot of background…the 2nd para is like example…
-The rest of the points are good and well mentioned…Also bring conclusion…

Overall, well attempted…nice answer…keep it up…keep writing…

Hi,
-Introduction seems okay…however, it should also mention where it is being found…like ocean bed…
-Under Distribution we need to talk about the areas identified for extraction and are supposed to have sufficient deposits…like the centre of the north central Pacific Ocean, the Peru Basin in the south-east Pacific Ocean and the centre of the north Indian Ocean at a depth of 4000 to 6000 meter…
-Points under significance seems okay…though you can be more specific here…like these are rare earth metals and are extremely useful for IT industry, electricals industry, also, the extraction of it will provide job opportunity in large amount etc.
-Don’t go in much shortcut way while writing answer…remember, the individual points should have to be complete in itself…(Point 4 under India’s effort)…
-Good ideas under challenges…elaborate more…
-Conclusion is absent…
-Overall, good attempt…have incorporated much of points…however, need to be more specific in points elaboration…

Keep writing…

Hi Viney,
-Introduction is poor…there is no relevance of question mentioned here…talk about the language of SC and Article 348 directly without mentioning much background…
-Your answer contains much of your own ideas…that is good…however, we need to prove these ideas with examples…hence, need to mention about various cases and rulings of SC regarding the language to be used in Courts…like Madhu Limye’s Case and SC ruling….Munshi Ayyangar Formula which was adopted by our constituent assembly for 15 years and hence resulted for the formation of schedule VII…
-Overall, your attempt is good…need more improvement in content and subsequent proof by example…

Keep writing will improve for sure…

Hi Dhritiman,
-Work on your handwriting asap…
-Your answer looks like rough work…too many underlines, arrows, directions, vertical lines…such diagrams are irrelevant and makes presentation very poor even if the good and valid points are mentioned…such presentation also creates obstruction in fluent reading…write in paragraphs with complete ideas…
-Poor introduction…the ideas here are incomplete and lacks clarity…the points are incomplete here…explain with details…
-Ideas are incomplete and not logically arranged…
Overall, below average attempt…bring completeness in individual points…

Hi Dhritiman,
-Please read mentor’s comment before attempting for writing…your answer goes in different direction and not actually talking about the points of question…
-Your points are more in the form of analysis and not examining…in examine we must mention proof…
-There is no introduction in your answer…the lines of the quesstion has been repeated here…
-The points mentioned are not incoherent with the heading mentioned…why elitist and narrow…also the individual ideas does not clear the picture completely…
-Also, there is nothing mentioned about Article 348 which talks about the language of Courts in India…

Hi Rohit,
-The points of the answer are good…however, there is problem with the structure…
-There should not be empty ideas in introduction…and must be written in paragraph only…we can mention the points like Policing in India is governed by Police Act of 1861 which is a British legacy…and with the changing nature of crime the reform is inevitable…
-Need to bring conclusion as well in order to bring completeness in answer…here conclusion is absent…
-Overall, good attempt…need to focus on intro and conclusion. The content is good…

-Introduction seems to be going in different direction…there is no any reference of language of court…talk about Article 348 which exclusively talks about the language of the court…

Hello Rohit,
-Ideas in introduction seems to be good and well written…
-More specific need to be while talking about distribution…though poly-metallic nodules are available all across the ocean bed however there are some points where significant amount is supposed to be present and extraction is possible…like three areas have been selected by industrial explorers: the centre of the north central Pacific Ocean, the Peru Basin in the south-east Pacific Ocean and the centre of the north Indian Ocean.
-They can occur at any depth, but the highest concentrations have been found between 4,000 and 6,000m.
-The last para of 1st page seems incomplete…why India has been in limelight…mention about India’s pioneering investment and allocation of a vast area in central Indian Ocean basin for extraction apart from other research and developmental activities…
The rest of the points seems good…

Overall, good attempt…need to focus on some of the important missing points in order to make the answer more qualitatively good…
Keep writing…will improve for sure…

Hi GK,
-Introduction seems to be good…
-However, the further points need clarity…
-Last three points of first page need further elaboration as it gives incomplete meaning…
-First point on 2nd page, its better than the war, however, it should not be imposed for coercive action rather it should be for just cause on utilitarian principle.
-The morality of economic sanction are judged on the basis of just cause, right intention, limited objective, last resort, discrimination like they must not target innocent people etc…
-Your points ‘viewed from an ethical angle’ seems very general and does not involve utilitarian ideas…
-Points of conclusion is good…

-Overall, good attempt…more specificity is what required in answer…

Hi Rahul,
-Introduction seems to be okay…
-The points are good in general sense…but there are very less moral factors in your answer…also while doing moral analysis don’t mention the suggestion (like Vasudev Kutumbkam and live and let live etc.)
Economic sanction can be of two types…positive and negative…while analysing its morality we need to mention keeping in mind the both.
-The simple way of analyzing its morality is based on JUST CAUSE, RIGHT INTENTION, LIMITED OBJECTIVE, LAST RESORT, PROPORTIONALITY AND DISCRIMINATION etc. Though you have mentioned some of these points but need to incorporate moral aspects…like sanction should be imposed only when it serves utilitarian principles…protecting human rights, targeting only those which are unjust and not involving all, they must not affect innocent people, the intention should be right like maintaining integrity, unity, dignity etc.
-Overall, good attempt…your ideas are good…need to go a bit more micro level… the rest is good and well written…Keep writing…

Hi Stevie G,
-The ideas in introduction seem good…however, intro should not be in points…Here in this answer first three points constitute the introduction…hence it should and must be in one para…

-Under significance…2nd point…what is engg challenge??? Never mention abbreviation, always write the word in complete sense…

-Under significance…also bring the points which involves application of polymetallic nodules…like use in high tech industry, economic significance, employment generation in huge etc…

-Avoid diagrams…even if you mention diagram the same you need to mention in para point wise…so the points of distribution need to be mentioned in sequence together…and certainly not in diagram…(use language to write…not symbol.)

-Points under India’s effort is good…the challenges mentioned are also good…

-Ideas in conclusion seems incomplete…You have mentioned about future potential, however, need more clarity…

Overall, good attempt…by involving the above suggestion the answer can be made more better in quality…though nice approach…keep writing will improve for sure…

Hi Stevie G,
-Introduction given by you seems going in different direction…its more about proving the unity of India…however, we need to mention about the language of SC…
-Also write the points in paragraphs rather than showing with the help of diagram and flowchart…(Points under main body)…
-The last two points on the 2nd page including conclusion seems incomplete and are not in coherent with the previous points…linkages are very important…
-In intro para we can mention about the diversity of India and link to the cases coming to SC (being apex court) from all across the country with different linguistic areas and hence to maintain the coherency as well as unity the constituent assembly decided to have English as a language to be used in Supreme Court.
-Further in the main body bring justification…mention Munshi Ayyangar formula in details, also Madhu Limye case where SC rejected to hear the argument any other language then English…

Overall, such attempt is an average one…need to have more focus on question and need to mention points accordingly…
Keep writing will improve for sure…

Hi Vinay,
-The introductory para together with 4 points seems to be okay….However, more clarity would have been brought by mentioning what actually the sanction is? (refer our model answer)…
-Under influence on 2nd page…point 2 and 3 seems incomplete…need further elaboration…also there are only examples mentioned here…talk how in actual sense it brings vulnerability to the situation…social, economic, political…
-Also the points of concluding para need clarity and justification…you have mentioned sufferings in various spheres…bring examples (real or hypothetical) to support the arguments…like the ban on supply of food items will leave many starved and may result to huge deaths if continues for long, ban on import and export will lower the economy of the nation and later will affect on the lower strata of society in terms of inflation, unavailability of goods etc…the micro level linkages needed under influence…

Overall, you have attempted good, but with more micro linkages the quality of the answer can be made further better…

Hi Vinay,
-Introduction seems to be okay…however, more organized arrangement of ideas can be brought here…
-Under significance, (Add)…..the polymetallic nodules are rich in iron and manganese content as well as high grade of nickel, copper and cobalt…extraction of such elements will prove economic significance apart from other importance…Due to rare earth metal contents, it has the potential to fast pace the high tech industry, Also the rare earth minerals are great source of valuable minerals like gold, silver and zinc…etc…
-Points are okay…under India and polymetallic nodules…however, while talking about India we must mention the tentative possession by India in Indian Ocean, recent deep sea exploration ‘Samudra Ratnakar’, it will boost coastal and national economics, has huge potential to fulfill India’s energy needs, presently India is dependence on huge imports etc….etc….
-We also need to mention challenges in extraction, required technology, holistic approach in deep sea mining, also the concern of marine species etc…
-Conclusion seems to be okay…

-Overall, good attempt…however, all dimensions need to be mentioned here…structure wise the answer is good…however, add some of the points mentioned above…keep writing…will improve for sure…
