The topics which examiner give are mostly related to current issues and on which enough material could be written. He is expecting around 2000 words on it.
You can say above mentioned topics are most favorite for 2021. The difference would be in the way examiner asks. Take for example Hate Crimes; he can ask you to relate them with popular-ism or Covid or ask its impacts on globalization or Muslim world. Or for example Kashmir; you could be asked to evaluate Pak's action on it; Reaction of Muslim world; future options for Pak etc.

My suggestion would be that you should read enough material on these topics and cover them through multiple angles. Apart from that, get relevant stats, ref, quotes too. And then practice writing multiple outlines on every topic and writing at-least one essay on each topic.

Add two more topics: Gender Crimes and Freedom of Speech/ Censorship
