plz comment on this attempt plz.........!!!!

give me marks ?

well as far as the objective resolution is concerned, u have presented it very well but like most of the aspirant, u have missed one most important thing and that is critical analysis. Examiner didnt want to judge Ur abilities to cram the topic. what he wants to see is how well prepared ur opinion and understanding are regarding the topic. so Analyze every topic in your own words at the end

Marks 5/10

good attempt just missing a few things, Intro could have been better like defining the objective resolution.
You could start like this After the independence of Pakistan, the first hurdle was the formation of its own constitution !! then you could write what objective resolution is bla bla

Main thing which you are missing is the Critical Analysis. What did you understand from this resolution. You just jotted down the main points of the resolution but you have to give your own analysis on it. Overall nice attempt i would still give you 5.5/10

Regards

waqarj

You have touched a very important topic of Pakistan Affairs.According to my experience,Pak.Aff can be scoring if u learn the art of producing and presenting an answer marked by your logical and critical analysis.
when you talk about the O.R,after defining and explaining its main points just forget that you are a Muslim and a definite subcriber to the two-nation theory.you must also take the view point of the critics of the O.R e.g(Hindus and some Muslims like Iftikhar ud Din) who vehemently opposed the very rationale of the O.R.And you see that even today there are certain scholars and historians who believe that the O.R. was nothing but just an attempt to appease the religious class of the country.These critics opine that the O.R.confused religion with polity unnecessarily.In the end u can simply conclude that inspite of all the opposition and criticism of the O.R.,the fact remains that the O.R proved first step in the constitution making of Pakistan and set a tone for future Constitutions of the country.Infact,it serves as the Magna carta of the constitutional history of Pakistan.
