In introduction, you can avoid mentioning Sanatan Dharma, Bhakti movement was influenced from Islam too and some of its features like monotheism and being against idol-worship are different. Socio-religious movement in medieval India is fine. Rest of the introduction is good.
Features mentioned are good, use of vernacular language by various saints can be mentioned.
Role of women saints are also well written. Mostly, you have talked about their compositions. Social role can also be mentioned for example, Sant Soyarabai, a devotee of Lord Vithoba (Vishnu) highlighted the plight to which the people of lower castes (Mahars) were subjected to; Lal Ded refused to stay confined to the domestic tyranny and broke the archaic patriarchal customs. Even Meerabai displayed disregard for regressive social and family conventions which can be mentioned.
Conclusion is apt.
Overall, good attempt.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Your knowledge is good.
Introduction is pretty decent.
Basic tenets of the movement have also been well written. You can mention some of the prominent saints and their use of vernacular languages as one of the features. Also, since this is only a 10 marker, no need to separately write the impacts. You can integrate your points such as mutual co-existence of Hindus and Muslims, promotion of social service etc in basic tenets only. Other points in that section seem repeated.
Try to include more women saints if you have space and time, for example, Sant Soyarabai, a devotee of Lord Vithoba (Vishnu) highlighted the plight to which the people of lower castes (Mahars) were subjected to; Lal Ded one of the earliest mystic saints of Kashmir, refused to stay confined to the domestic tyranny and broke the archaic patriarchal customs. Her style of mystic poetry was called as vatsuns or vakhs (speech).
Other mentions are good.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Decent attempt.
Introduction can be a bit more coherent and simple…just mention that it was a socio-religious movement in medieval India which started from south and spread to the north.
Features mentioned are fine, some of the famous saints like Kabir, Guru Nanak, Tukaram etc and their use of vernacular languages in propagation of the movement can be mentioned. Idea of peaceful co-existence and stress upon unity between all religions could be mentioned.
In next part, try to include some more saints for example, Sant Soyarabai, a devotee of Lord Vithoba (Vishnu) highlighted the plight to which the people of lower castes (Mahars) were subjected to; saints from south India like Andal, Akka Mahadevi, Karaikal Ammaiyar etc
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
