c) 1-2 points regarding colonial mentality's effects on the social and cultural front i.e. Social fault lines, divide and rule policies, ethnic politics, cultural inferiority complex etc



d) 1-2 points on administrative front. Gave example of Sindh's promulgation of police order of colonial remains instead of sticking with police order 2001.





3)CAUSES (of colonial mentality impeding Pakistan's growth)

5)CONCLUSION



a) colonial mentality represents the mindset of the colonial empires which started the campaign of colonialism to expand their markets.



b) it was based on socio-politico-economic exploitation; hence its remains are significantly impeding Pakistan's progress on all fronts



c) This nation has achieved glory in the form of the establishment of Pakistan by laying hundreds of lives. This hurdle can also be overcome if the problem is identified and the remedial path is taken forthwith; as delineated in the recommendations.

Overall I guess 13 pages. Outline was of 2.5 pages. I usually write 220-260 words on a leaf.

The only thing weak in this essay is the thesis statement. It doesn't address the topic from the outset. You addressed it in the last line of thesis, and that too cursorily. Had you made a concrete, specific and a more direct thesis statement, I would put all my money on your essay without any questions.

Best of luck!
