Questions
Broadcasting court proceedings is a step in the direction of transparency and greater access to the justice system, but there are concerns around the impact of live streaming both on judges and the people watching the proceedings. Elaborate.
Ayurveda, India’s traditional medicine, has been in practice for close to three millennia, but there are a few challenges that the Ayurveda establishment has for long failed to skillfully address. Comment.
Awesome! Can’t see anything to improve here. Content, structure, presentation all seem good.
Looks great! You can mention some benefits of Ayurveda, perhaps before mentioning the shortcomings. These include benefits in preventive aspects through practices like Yoga, breathing exercises, diet control etc. Rest seems relevant to the question statement. Good overall!
Thnku . will add that points.
Please review
Great answer! Nothing to suggest for improvement!
In the introduction, You have mentioned Judgment; it is not a Judgment, but a collective decision of the SC Judges (full court) to start live streaming. May seem like nitpicking, but try not to leave any scope for the examiner to form an unfavourable impression.
Thank you very much for the correction.

Very nice! I feel You can mention some benefits of Ayurved before mentioning the challenges, like Yoga, diet control etc. which help in prevention of diseases to an extent (especially lifestyle diseases). You can use some keywords like faulty human anatomy (which is irrelevant now).
Overall very good!
Yes, will surely add these points. Thank you
Good answer! But I feel, based on your other answers, you could have done better. Today, some of the points seem bit irrelevant e.g., the proceedings are being streamed, but they are still happening in person. It’s not that proceedings have gone online. So this point should be avoided. Also reviewing of decisions; Judgments are detailed (include facts, arguments, reasoning etc.) and proceedings are documented etc, so live streaming is not going to add anything in reviewing aspect.
In challenges, some of the points mentioned in the article have not been mentioned (tendency of Judges to indulge in theatrics, evidence from Brazil) etc.
Finally, you can suggest that some precautions have to be followed e.g, AG has provided situations where live proceedings can be avoided.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I will remember them in the next answer.
Great answer! I think the point related to reduced burden can be avoided. I guess only the proceedings are being streamed live, litigants/accused will still have to appear in person for proceedings.
Awesome! Good that You have briefly mentioned some +ve aspects before delving into challenges. I feel more points can be mentioned in the way forward, like there is a need to review and update (and remove) theories/practices based on availability of modern knowledge. Rest, very balanced and readable answer!
Thnx for review
I have posted my answer but it is not reflected in the comments.
