Both sides need a face-saving exit but egotism demands that both want tocome outas the winner, One has to lose. In the case of the never-ending protests by the farmers of Punjab and Haryana (mostly), the government seems to have made it an ego issue. Although the government in its retreat has offered to suspend the for 15 years, it would do wel forthe government to simply concede farmers demand and withdraw the bills. This isan ideal solution since it will end the protests, relieving the people livingin theareas near the heart ofthe protests, and also give ample time to the government to discussand address the concerns of the farmers. It will even undo, though not completely but to some extent, the international condemnation that the country has suffered. In any way, what’ the point of being determined to implement a set of laws, when the very people who would supposedly be benefitted by those laws do not want them! And finally, with elections coming up in five states, the BJP leadership would be wise to realise that it will lose far more capital by not withdrawing the farm laws than it will if it goes the other way. eel Identifying an Argument » Newspaper articles, especially editorials » Online articles- https://www.theguardian.com/uk/commentisfree https://mww.nytimes.com/section/opinion https://aeon.co/ » Conversations » Anything you read » Any speech you hear mein break kiya yeh Important hai Ow | 1, Comprehension- to be able to understand the passage and break it down to an aa Qony Ne \.

It is seen as appreciation of their cinematic genius. This year the jury has chosen Akshay Kumar for the national award for acting, However, I do not agree with the jury's decision. For one, Akshay is a commercial actor ie. he acts in movies that are made for entertainment and commercial actors should not be given national awards. Also, his acting skills are mediocre. You would agree with this if you have seen movies like Housefull and Rustom. It is no surprise that the actor did not feature on the list of top 100 actors in a survey conducted by ABC news.
