Questions
1) What is the strategic significance of Chabahar for India? Highlight the hurdles in the completion of the project.
2) The 5G roll-out will be a game-changer for law enforcement agencies. It will enable the police to fight crime effectively. At the same time, criminal use of 5G is inevitable. Comment.
Great answer! Couple of things – How will Chabahar help narrow down BoP. India would still need to import oil, right? Also JCPOA actually facilitated trade with Iran as sanctions were relaxed, its when the US moved out of JCPOA, it created hurdles.
Can mention keywords like Str. of Hormuz, Choke points, SLOCs. Also India’s slow execution.
Map is really nice! Overall great!
Thanks a lot.
Great answer! Simple to the point arguments, proper structure, in content most points have been covered. Nice use of Map.
– Introduction can be cut a little.
– You can use some key words like strings of pearl strategy of China (You have mentioned China’s influence), choke points in Str. of Hormuz/SLOCs etc.
– Point related to captivity of policy shifts can be phrased a little better.
Overall a high quality answer!

You have deviated from the question statement. You have to mention benefits of 5G specifically in context of law enforcement. So points like digital literacy, WFH etc. are not relevant here. Please refer to the article for content.
Okay …. thanks for reviewing my mistake ✍️ it’s really helpful to know where I am lacking…(today is content issue )….
Significance of port has not been addressed properly, refer to other answers. There are some other points beyond trade with Central Asia that can be added. Also highlight location of Port in the Map, it has not been shown. You may want to elaborate how terrorism is an issue with Chabahar port.
Okay ….shall have a look to synopsis tomorrow
Great answer! You seem to have covered all the points.
I feel Introduction can be changed though. If question comes in Mains exam, you might not remember this visit of the Minister, or by that time, something more important may have happened and the visit may not longer be the most remarkable aspect. Just a suggestion.
Got it ! Thank you
