Key learnings from their answer
- ›Arguments are carried by named, current case law and hard instances, not assertions, Google's Rs 1330 cr CCI fine (Q11); Hijab, Shirur Mutt, Sabarimala and Shayara Bano stacked under the essential-practices doctrine (Q13); NALSA for transgender rights (Q18) -> stockpile 3-4 landmark cases per static topic and deploy them as evidence so each claim lands with an authority behind it.
- ›Most answers close with a structured 'Way ahead' linked to a relevant SDG -> end forward-looking and solution-oriented, tying the topic to a global development target so the conclusion adds value instead of merely restating the intro.
