The ‘Salt Sathyagraha’ was a daring display of solidarity of Indian common people against the British during the freedom movement. Explain.

Answer»

In 1930, the working committee of the congress met at Sabarmathi Ashram and passed resolution to hold Civil Disobedience under the leadership of Gandhiji. Gandhi wrote a letter to the Viceroy demanding eleven points. In case, the government does not accept this demand, the people would reject the paying tax and also start Civil disobedience movement all over India. As the Viceroy rejected the letter, declared on March 12,1930 that he would walk with followers upto Dandi, the coastal area of Gujarath. Gandhi covered 375 kms on foot and reached Dandi.

He broke the law by holding a fistful salt without paying the tax which the British had levied on salt. Charaka, the Spinning Wheel became more famous during this march. Thousands of people participated in the Salt Sathyagraha. After this, National Movement Week was observed from April 6th to 13th.

Many leaders like Vijayalakshmi Pandit, Kamala Nehru, Vallabhabai Patel, Rajagopalachari, Babu Rajendra Prasad and many other leaders who had participated with Gandhi in Dandi March were arrested. Slowly, the movement spread to other parts of the country as well.

Prepare a debate for the same on the topic given below:‘Newspapers ought to contain more news and fewer advertisements'

Answer»

Newspapers Ought to Contain More News and Fewer 

Advertisements 

(by Pradeepa)

Respected Chairperson, August faculty and dear friends,

It is painful to see that journalists have lost all ethics and professionalism today. They adopt diverse techniques to increase the revenue of their paper. They try to sensationalise the news to win more readers. However, even the newspaper having the largest circulation is not self-dependent. It must have plenty of commercial advertisements to meet its running costs. In fact, it is these ads which provide the owners the requisite funds. Thus, advertisements cannot be ruled out. They are a necessary evil and must stay.

The owners and editors of the newspapers must also realise their responsibility to the nation. The press is the strongest pillar of democracy. It creates sensible public opinion in favor of good policies and criticises the wrong policies. The newspapers must maintain a balance between news and advertisements. A common man buys a newspaper for news. It would be better that the editors publish a classified advertisement supplement twice or thrice a week and save the general reader from the proliferation of advertisements while scanning the pages for views and news.

What is the role of government in public sector?

Answer»

The following points sum up the role of government in public sector

(a) Welfare of the people: The modern state is a welfare state that looks after the interests of its citizens. People pay different types of taxes and expect their representatives or the government to follow policies for their welfare. Services like railways, posts and telegraphs are run by the government for the welfare of the people.

(b) Large expenditure: Some activities like construction of roads need large sums of expenditure that cannot be borne by the private sector. So, the government takes up such activities in the interest of the people in a democracy.

(c) Support of the government: There are some activities that need support of the government in the form of subsidy such as provision of foodgrains for the poor through ration shops. The government buys wheat, paddy etc. at a higher price but sells at a lower price at ration shops.

(d) Duty of the government: It is duty of the government to raise the living standard of the people. It should make arrangements for quality education and health services in order to take care of the poorest and most ignored regions of the country through increase in expenditure in such areas. Thus, the government takes up various activities and spends a lot of expenditure on them.
