legal issues involved in the ruling set up.
3. An educated person can express his ideas in the
legislature in a better way than an uneducated person.
4. An educated person can win the respect of the people
in his constituency. An uneducated person wins only
sympathy.

vital problems with top executives, industrialists ,
foreigners, etc. If heis not educated, he will have to cut
a sorry figure.

Ministers or members of important committees. If they
are not educated, they are sure to fail in discharging
their duties tolerably well.

people.

his duty. And, these can be there in anyone, educated
or not.

Sample 2: Banning of bandhs
FOR:

whole state. It will badly affect the non participants.
2. Almost all bandhs are marked by violent attacks on
those who do not agree to observe the bandhs.
3. The activists of bandhs throw stones at public vehicles
and destroy them. The innocent commuters of buses
are usually attacked and injured.
4. Shop keepers who do not favour bandhs are the worst
affected. Their shops are destroyed and they get
injured.
5. Even vehicles carrying patients requiring emergency
care to the nearby hospitals are affected, sometimes
reaching the hospitals too late.
6. Normal life is paralysed; vehicles are stopped; students
are forced to go out of their classes.
7. The common man, especially the daily-wage labourer, is
affected most and so a good Govt. should ban bandhs
and protect citizens from the violence committed by the
bandh activists.
AGAINST:
1. In democracy, the citizens have the rights to join
together and to protest against the unjust decisions
taken by the government or other authorities.
2. Citizens have the freedom of expression. They can
always tell others their opinion on something done by
the government. They can protest against injustice in a
peaceful manner.
3. The citizens are compelled to observe bandh because
the authorities refuse to pay attention to their requests
or demands. Bandhs can be avoided if such authorities
look into the protesters requests and complaints.
4. Political leaders consider bandhs an occasion to attract
their followers and assure their leadership.
5. The arrests and police lathicharge following a bandh
help create martyrs for the people concerned. Banning
deprives them of the golden opportunity.
