Questions
1) What led to the economic crisis in Sri Lanka? Highlight the lessons that can be taken from this crisis.
2) I2U2 summit can provide a foothold for India for a greater role in West Asia. Discuss.
Please review and let me know my mistakes
Great Answer!
Some suggestions:
1. 2-3 points can be combined together (food parks, clean energy etc.) into 1 single point of ‘Investments in sectors like infrastructure, clean energy, food processing etc.’
2. Point related to OIC can be mentioned, how India’s proximity with countries in West Asia has reduced the influence of Pakistan in the region.
3. The dimension of security especially maritime security can also be added, which can help in countering China in the Indian Ocean Region.
4. In the point related to Iran-Afghanistan, ‘stabilizing’ would be more appropriate word than ‘containing’.
Great answer overall!
Keep writing 🙂
Okay! I’ll incorporate suggested points.
Thanks for the review
Great Answer! Coverage of points is really good. In terms of content the answer is great! Some modifications can be done though:
1. In the introduction, you can mention briefly about I2U2 and what are its stated purposes.
2. The reference to regions past can be reduced a bit. Just make a small reference that the region has had a tumultuous history (like Israel-Palestine-Arab conflict) and India had difficul.
3. In the arguments, give short sub-titles like Investment, Energy Security, Geopolitics/Strategic etc.
4. Initiatives like QUAD, I2U2 have a dimension of countering China, so India is securing its interests vis-a-vis Chinese aggression.
Keep writing 🙂
Review please.
Awesome! All good in the answer in terms of content and structure. Perhaps one more point could have been added related to Debt from China for wasteful projects that didn’t make economic sense (huge ports and airports with low revenue potential). Some economists are blaming China for its ‘debt trap’ diplomacy. Rest everything is fine.
Keep writing 🙂
Thank you.
Excellent! Nothing much to suggest for improvement. Perhaps in the debt trap point, you can add that some economists argue that some projects with heavy investments didn’t make economic sense, and generated little revenue to recover the costs/repay the loans.
Keep writing 🙂
