1. Indian civilization and culture

Indian civilization and culture is an essay. It is written by Mahatma Gandhi. He was born on 2 nd October in 1869.He died on 30 th January in 1948.
He is known as “Bapu” or “The father of the nation”. Indian civilization and culture is taken from his autobiography “My experiments with
truth” in this essay Gandhi JI describes the importance of Indian civilization. He praises our ancient civilization and says that no other civilization
of the world can be compared with our civilization. According to Gandhi Ji civilization is the way of conduct. It guides us to do our duty. It also
teaches us the lesson of morality. It refers to good conduct and stresses our moral character. Our civilization is the most ancient and the
strongest of all the civilization of the world. Many civilizations in the world born and wasted. They changed by the change of time. But our
civilization has remained unchanged our civilization is the only civilization in the world which has not lost its glory. Civilization because it is
based on materialism and immorality. On the other hand the Indian civilization is based on spiritualism and morality. The intention of Indian
civilization is to elevate the moral being while the western civilization is to propagate immorality.

Gandhi JI says that mind is a restless bird, because it is never satisfied. The more it gets, the more it wants, and still remains unsatisfied. To be
happy or unhappy depends on our mind. We have endless desires and such desires make our mid restless. If we want to become happy, we
should keep away from wealth and luxurious, because they do not make us happy. A rich man may be unhappy while a poor man may be
happy. Thus, Gandhi JI means to say that the Indian Civilization is matchless. He says that the Indian civilization is superior to any other
civilization in the world. It promotes moral development and real happiness.

come to meet A minister. He is a cunning and shrewd man. He always tells a lie. He can be fooling anyone with his lies. He can manage any difficult
situations and get rid of any difficulties. He travels second class on a third class ticket. Taking snuff is his habit.

Nanukaka goes to meet the minister. But he fails to meet him. He comes back and thinks a plan. He changes his clothes and goes to Sohanlal, the
party of boss in Delhi. Nanukaka tells him that Hazarat Barkat Ali the ambassador. Of India in Beirut, is his close friend. Sohanlal is highly impressed
by the talk and personality of Nanukaka. He wants the favour of the ambassador for his son. By the reaction of sohanlal he knows that the minister

visitor’s book. This trick helps him and the welfare minister himself comes to meet him. After the meeting with the minister, Nanukaka returns the

collecting gourds. He buys them for a few Sen. When he comes home at first he makes a neat hole at the top of the gourds and extracts seeds and
feels them with tea leaves to get rid of the bad smell. He knows every place where gourd is sold. He is able to recognize almost every gourd in the
market. But his father doesn’t like it. Seibei is dedicated his art but seibei’s father wants his son to leave this unwanted work. One day Seibei was
caught by his teacher while polishing the gourd in the class. The teacher snatched the gourd and gave it to an old porter and complained to seibei’s

8. How free is the press

“How free is the press” is an interesting essay. It is written by Dorothy L. Sayers. She was born in 1893 and died in 1957. She belonged to Britain. She
was one of the first women to graduate from Oxford University. In this essay, she deals with the freedom of the press and misusing of it. She says that
the freedom of the press is essential for the development of democracy. It is also an essential factor for the growth of a nation. The press should be
free from the censorship by the government. The press should freely, but its freedom is restricted during war. It this sense the British presses in
singularly free. It is free to attack the policy of the government. It discuses the political character of the ministers. Such a freedom may have defects
no doubts. The freedom of public opinion is not restricted during peace in Britain, but the press may misuse its freedom. The editorial policy of a
popular newspaper is controlled by two factors. It takes care of the interest of the advertisers from whom it gets money. It does not support a public
policy which is against the interests of its advisers. So, it is clear that a chip daily newspaper can not express public opinion freely. It is loss free than
an expensive weekly or monthly. The second source of revenue of a newspaper is the wealth of the owner. So, its policy is determined by the
personal and political ambition of its owner. Thus, the writer means to say that the press in India is not as free as the British press. She points out that
the press often misuses its freedom and cheats the general readers.

09. The Earth

“The Earth” is an interesting story. It is written by H.E. Bates. He was born in 1905 and died in 1974. He belonged to England. In this story he talks
about the laziness of the parents and the selfishness of their simple minded son who drives them away from their home. In this story, Johnson is a
talent farmer. He is kind-hearted person, but he is very lazy. He does not work hard. He believes more in lick than work he had no land of his own. He
has rented it from sanders. He has a simple-minded son named Benjy. Johnson’s are worried about him. On the advice of a doctor. Johnson builds a
wire coop in a corner of his farm and gives him some hens to keep engaged in work. Benjy takes interest in keeping hens and knows all the tricks of
the trade. Johnson also opens a passbook for his to keep his money. Benjy’s parents have saved a lot of money for him. When Benjy becomes 21 years
old, they give him the passbook; he does not say a word of gratitude. He opens the passbook, looks at the amount and puts it in his pocket. Benjy’s
parents do not feel good, when he silently puts the passbook in his pocket. When Benjy knows every trick of the trade, he begins to earn money. He
deposits a lot of money in his account. He purchases lands from Mr. Whitemore and sanders that his father has rented. Now Benjy is forty years old
and gets married Florence against the wishes of his parents. Florence is one of Benjy’s employees. Gradually, Benjy becomes indifferent to his
parents. Florence starts quarrelling with his mother and Benjy does not treat his parents justly. He becomes so cruel that one day he drives his
parents out of his home.

Thus, in this story we find that a selfish and cunning son deceives his parents and too much trust becomes the reason fo the tragedy of the parents.
