All the best for the exam! You’ll do great :)
Hi reverends. This is going to be my first attempt and I have been meaning to practise essay writing. Unfortunately, residing in an isolated town does not help in terms of getting reviews and stick to the required format. If someone could please skim through my essay and give a feedback ? Let me say thanks in advance but I will thank you later, as well. Also, I am not sure if there's an active group which specifically checks essays. So, help me, please. :)

Fine Intro.
Too many scholars have been used. Giving an impression that your optional is either sociology or psir.
An essay needs to be written in max 11 pages only as per UPSC format.
Can open up dimensions like environment - modernity(Industrialisation vs Biofuels) or antiquity(Stubble burning vs worshipping trees). Similarly, education or health as if modernity with/without modernization is possible.
Bring in Gandhiji who was advert critique of Modernity as in how Consumerism as a cult is rising because of it.
Use quotes like given in Bhagvat Gita that "It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection" - to break the monotony.
A very good essay overall considering the fact that it's your first attempt. Keep going!
