Failure is not fatal ;
It is the courage to continue
That counts...! (Winston S.Churchill)

Attempted 4,5,6 & 8

Q.4:
Causes:
a) my focus mainy was on right of self determination like in Kashmir, Palestine etc
causes i mentioned populism, coercion policy against Muslims, non effective role of Muslim countries like OIC, probably also noted down UN and other Human Right watch failures
solutions:
rights of liverty, freedom of expression, education, empoyment, etc
stressed the role of UN, USA as champion of human rights, Muslim Organization etc

Why did you restrict it to kashmir issue or those surrounding muslim world? The crux was to prove the rise of populism and authoritarianism as a potential challenge to liberal democracies entailing USA, Philippines, brazil, Belarus and others. Proving as much that right rise is a threat would've been keeping a balanced answer
