Sample 1: 'Corruption in India' (267 words)
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power
corrupts absolutely."
It is not easy to define corruption. But in a narrow sense, corruption is
mostly concerned with "bribery" and it takes several forms.
Corruption today is a world-wide phenomenon and India is one of the most
corrupt nations in the world.
Corruption is an indication of decadence. A corrupt person is termed immoral
and dishonest. Only a person with greatly eroded values indulges in corruption.
The problem with corruption is that it threatens
the very existence of the society . Corruption is like a leech draining the
blood of the society. The worst part is that it affects every part of human
life: the flourishing black market in essential commodities, adulteration of
even food, bribe, fraud and economic, political and administrative manipulations
etc have made the people feel greatly miserable and helpless.
We can trace corruption to ancient times. Kautilya,
the author of the Arthasastra pointed out corruption of his times. He also
talked about the inevitability of corruption. He had said, "Just as it is
impossible not to taste the honey or the poison that finds itself at the tip of
the tongue, so it is impossible for a government servant not to eat up at least
a bit of the king's revenue. These in the postwar world became only bolder
while eating up government money and accepting bribes.
Today, although India is free, the government
officials have enslaved the general public with their corruption. Most of them
are hand in gloves with businessmen and thus the whole system is corrupt. What
starts at the top percolates down to the lowest rungs of the society. It has
thus become widespread even in villages.
The situation is so bad that it looks like India
will never get rid of corruption.
Sample 2: 'Secular State' (261 words)
We all know that India is a secular State, and that
a secular state has nothing to do with religion; but, what exactly does this
mean. Secularism, if properly implemented, can control extremism, religious
bigotry and other negative forces.
As said above, a secular state does not recognize
any religion, which means a secular State, in essence, should not discriminate
against any a citizen belonging to any religion.
Earlier things were different; even a hundred years
ago in India, people were discriminated against based on religion, faith,
caste, etc. There were many such undemocratic, non-secular things in existence.
This led to the persecution of people. The harassed would leave their homeland,
their country and suffer a lot. This was also true of the world in general.
Paresis, for instance, came to India from Iran.
Now, thankfully, that is a thing of the past. Due
to great thinkers, philosophers and scholars, things have changed. Politics and
the government are being kept away from religion. These days almost all the
civilized countries are secular.
That does not mean religions are banned. Everyone
has a right to follow whatever faith he or she wants. The only thing is that,
the government is neutral in this regard. This is because, if religious ceremonies
are encouraged openly, the government will come to be identified with a
particular religion.India is a good example in this regard. Though Hindus form
a large majority, no Hindu festival is State sponsored.
Secularism in the State has, thus, extreme importance.
A society tends to be equal, homogeneous and peaceful with secularism.
Sample 3: How to control population explosion in
India? (263 words)
As we all know, we Indians have the dubious
distinction of being the second most populated country in the world. And, very
soon we will be ranked number one in terms of population. Well, that's not a
cause for celebration!
A
large population is a liability and not an asset. In our country, population
explosion is the main obstacle to the development in all aspects. Since this
problem is getting severe by the day, it is better to take appropriate measures
to keep it under control before it is too late.
Unlike
what most people think, population is not an advantage in any manner.
Demographic history of various advanced countries shows that there is an
inverse relationship between a country's overall happiness and the country’s birth
rate. When per-capita income increases, people don’t desire more children in
order to supplement their income. In other words, with increase in per-capita
income, people feel more secure and do not want to depend on their children.
Therefore, rapid economic development is very much essential to control the
already high birth-rate. However, this increase in per-capita income will have
its positive impact on birth rate after a period of time.
In
the Indian society we have joint family system. In joint families, in general a
high birth rate is encouraged. Hence this joint family has to be replaced by
nuclear family. A nuclear family is generally found in urbanized and
industrialized economies. Hence our efforts should be to industrialize and
urbanize our economy to reduce the high birth rate and thereby control the
population growth.
Sample 4: 'Science in everyday life'
Science is a part of our everyday life. In its
broadest meaning science means 'knowledge'. And, as knowledge, it had entered
life of even the most primitive human beings. They knew, in protein and
carbohydrate and containing vitamins. The result is a healthy prolonged life.
One can imagine how life must have been in pre-scientific days. Science has
also improved clothing and made it more appropriate for climatic and working
conditions. Man-made fibers and versatile spinning machines, today enable us to
dress in clothes both comfortable and smart without being expensive.
We can't think of our everyday life without
science. For instance, the safe from the poisonous berry. They knew some
rudimentary ideas about building a hut, sharpening a spear, and fishing in the
river. This is what is science which distinguishes man from the animals which
rely on their instinct.
Yet, for most people 'science' means a number of
abstract subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology and mechanics, to quote a
few, which have to be learnt as part of 'education', yet which seem to have
little bearing on everyday living. This is all wrong. Our way of life is completely
dependent on science and its inventions and discoveries surround us on all
sides.
Since the Renaissance science has b in protein and
carbohydrate and containing vitamins. The result is a healthy prolonged life.
One can imagine how life must have been in pre-scientific days. Science has
also improved clothing and made it more appropriate for climatic and working
conditions. Man-mo the present.
Today, we have many consumer goods from the simple
frying-pan to the and aeroplane, from the alarm-clock to the laptop. All these
things serve to make life easier and more pleasant. Science gives us safe food,
free of harmful germs, in hygienic tins. The result is a healthy prolonged
life. One can imagine how life must have been in pre-scientific days. Science
has also improved clothing and made it more appropriate for climatic and
working conditions.
We can't think of our everyday life without
science.
Sample 5: ' The world of entertainment'
Entertainment, something that provides amusement or
enjoyment, is one of the basic needs of humans. Man has needed and indulged in
entertainment. Greek tragedy and comedy, Indian epic dramas, were an important
feature of ancient society, staged in impressive open-air theaters.
Puppet shows of the East, even today, can draw crowds of village
spectators. Singing and dancing have been there since ages. This is how it has
been, and will always be in all the parts of the world.
'Entertainment' implies non-participation by the
audience. A cricket match may be entertainment to the spectators, but it is
sport to the players. To be 'entertained', we must be content to look, and
to listener entertainment is highly a organized business and has
great variety. Especially in a big city every conceivable form of
entertainment can be had, the greatest of all being cinema and music,
especially to young people! There is a glamour and glitter about it all which
makes it irresistible. The prominent 'stars', especially, the 'pop' stars, of
today become the idols of the adolescents. The stars from Hollywood and
Bollywood can be taken as examples.
Beneath the glitter and the glamour, however, lies hardship
and disappointment for the majority. The promoters, the managers
and the impresarios are never poor men, and the entertainer becomes
pathetically dependent on them -- especially when his public image is fading.
But despite all this, we still have the professionals and always shall have
entertainment. Because the world of entertainment has an eternal, irresistible
glamour. 'The show must go on !' That's the world of entertainment
