hi, I read your answer. This is my feedback. The answer lacks substance. The question is about New Social Movement, hence you could have written about it in the intro.
Then you could have proceeded with mentioning how the New Farmer movement is different from the old.
There is no continuity or sequence in the answer, everything is in fragments. The person who evaluates will find it irritating to go through it. Answer looks like you have taken taken notes in class.
Also I don’t understand the necessity for the 3rd point. How self-respect movement perpetuated it?
In the conclusion you have mentioned “helped farmers participate in global process to solve their agrarian class struggle” what does it even mean?
Apologies if my criticism was harsh. Hope this will push you harder to give your best.
Good introduction.
You have discussed the features of the movement in a good manner.
After the features, briefly explain why is it called “New” Farmers Movement. You can give points like-
-The movement is economistic;
-The movement believes in secularism.
-The farmers’ movement believed in having a distinct worldview. This is called “positive liberalism”.
Try to add diversification in your content to fetch better marks.
Substantiate your points in criticism part.
Good conclusion.
Keep working hard.
