Hello
Decent attempt, you have covered some good points but still some sections are missing.
Introduction is fine, but Bhakti movement was not limited to a single century, you can mention a range- 8th to 17th century.
In nature some good points have been written, try to write some parts of answer atleast in full sentences. You have mentioned many examples, that is good. Inter-regional appeal, unorthodox approach(example of Nanak), non-sectarian etc also can be mentioned.
In impacts, you can mention linguistic development( Marathi, Punjabi Assamese etc under influence of Tukaram, Nanak, Shankardeva etc), music and dance( kirtana, sattriya, qawaali etc), philosophical impact ( dvaitadvaita, vishistaadvait etc).
Some criticism can also be mentioned at last- no political awakening, still many orthodox practices etc
Way ahead is more of a conclusion, you can write that as concluding statement.
Keep practicing. 🙂
