This migration of skilled & experienced people from one country to another is called brain drain. Owing to this brain drain the home country becomes loser as it is deprived of the services of its skilled people. But if they work there for a limited period & send money to their native land then the country is benefited by getting foreign exchange. And if the intelligent & skilled people leave the country for good then the poor native land becomes poorer. But disregarding the lure of high salary & better living conditions some people stay home & work for the betterment of the motherland.

I don’t support unfair means in the examination. Adopting unfair means in the examination is an evil practice & it degrades the moral values of the students. There are many reasons for adopting unfair means. The number of efficient teachers is not sufficient to teach a large number of students. Besides, students don’t prepare the lessons, they waste time in gossiping & keep away from classrooms. Many students plunge in politics mongering. They want only to get a certificate or a degree by hook or by crook. Recently the authorities have taken some measures to prevent unfair means. The whole system of examination has changed.

Teachers are free from anxiety & the examinations are being held in a sound atmosphere free from unfair means. I think these preventive measures...

War & peace are contradictory to each other. War is a curse, it destroy the normal atmosphere of the world & brings unbeatable pain, suffering & misery in human life. It destroys on only human life but also animals & makes a country economically paralyzed. We know the miserable condition of Hiroshima & Nagasaki during the Second World War. In the war, a huge number of people died & many were bodily crippled, yet their next generation is not released from that dangerous attack. The war of the Middle East shows the fearful disorder & displeasure in the world. The destructive & detrimental effects of the war remind us of the slogan from the global peace. The example of the United States of America is appropriate here. The USA is the super power in all respects in the world. That is why she is torturing the powerless countries of the world on this plea or that & applying her wicked policy. The UN should be impartial & should take effective steps aga...
