Though the great Cholas are no more, yet their name is still remembered with great pride because of their highest achievements in the domain of art and architecture.” Comment.

Key learnings from their answer

• ›Diagrams carry actual content, not decoration: Q11's hand-drawn Dravida temple is labelled with its real parts (Gopuram, Mandapa, Amalaka, Shikhara, Vimana), and Q16 draws a world map marking the named seismic belts (Circum-Pacific, Mid-Atlantic, Continental) plus a fault-block diagram labelling epicentre/focus/hypocentre. -> When you draw, label it with the technical terms the answer needs to earn marks for; a sketch that names parts or maps locations is worth far more than a generic bubble chart.
• ›Almost every sub-point is anchored with a concrete 'eg ->' rather than a generic claim: Q2 names Faraizi, Eka, Indigo, Tebhaga, Pagalpanthis and Mappila movements instead of just saying 'peasant movements'; Q5 cites Joshimath's NTPC tunnel; Q15 cites the Reasi (J&K) lithium reserve and the South American 'lithium triangle'. -> Don't state a point and move on; immediately bolt a specific named instance onto it so the examiner sees you actually know the topic, not just the template.
