The question is on satyagraha, but you have introduced it very late, in fact in the last paragraph. The whole answer has become an introduction.
Elaborate on the concept of satyagraha- what all it encompassed- non-violent peaceful resistance, and the British establishment could not use violent ways to suppress it; idea of selfless sacrifice; reduced confusion from the minds of people etc..then mention some examples, such as forced the British to come on the table for talks(Gandhi-Irwin pact). Mention of Champaran satyagraha is good.
Then, write few points on how it sealed the fate of British imperialism- removed fear from the minds of British which was their biggest weapon; British lost moral authority, benevolence and self-proclaimed civilizational superiority and it broke the myth of British invincibility.
Finally mention some drawbacks such as it was not able to control communalism, sometimes movements had to be withdrawn early etc
Finally conclude.
What you have written before last paragraph, needs to be summarised in 1-2 lines in the introduction..you can just mention that before satyagraha and arrival of Gandhiji masses were not united, participation was low and exploitative colonialism was at its peak and then move on.
Keep practicing. Please check the model answers. 🙂

Introduction first paragraph is quite good. After that, no need to go back and explain pre-satyagraha times..you can just add 1 more line that strategy and mass participation was lacking and then move on to the crux of the question that is what all satyagraha encompassed (non-violent peaceful resistance, the British establishment could not use violent ways to suppress it; idea of selfless sacrifice; reduced confusion from the minds of people etc.. some examples, such as forced the British to come on the table for talks(Gandhi-Irwin pact). Mention of early movements is good)
and how it sealed the fate of British imperialism- removed fear from the minds of British which was their biggest weapon; British lost moral authority, benevolence and self-proclaimed civilizational superiority and it broke the myth of British invincibility.
Then mention some drawbacks such as it was not able to control communalism, sometimes movements had to be withdrawn early etc and conclude. Conclusion written by you is decent.
Try to pick subheadings from the question itself, that way you can ensure you are sticking to the point.
Check model answers. Keep practicing. 🙂
