Dear Sir,
Subject: Necessity of women’s education in India

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to highlight the burning
issue of women’s education scenario today in India, leading to their status in the family,
society and the nation as a whole.

It is unfortunate that women in India are not well – educated, especially rural women have
remained illiterate for ages. Despite literacy campaigns in the villages, the female children’s
education is neglected due to parents lackadaisical attitude towards them.

It is also a matter of deep concern that a women’s complete dependence on her husband or
sons for financial needs makes her a slave in the family. Secondly, the reason for the poor
status of women in the society is that sometimes the parents want to get rid of the burden of
the daughter by getting her married underage.

In view of the necessity of women’s education and financial independence the authorities
concerned need to look into the matter seriously.

Yours faithfully
Tarun

Question 2.
In our society we do not give our women the respect and status that they deserve. Women
are stared at, stalked and even molested. We need to change the male mindset about
women. Write a letter in 120 – 150 words to the editor of a national newspaper giving your
views on the problem.

You are Omar/Amna, A 114 Mall Road, Delhi.

Dear Sir,
Subject: Safety of women

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the
reader and the higher authorities to the issue of women’s safety in our society. How
shameful! In a country where goddesses are worshipped and people go all out to make all
kinds of sacrifices for them, our women get stalked, stared at, teased and molested.
Newspapers are full of incidents of such occurrences every day.

I appeal to all menfolk that it’s high time they changed their attitude and mindset. My
request is also to the police and judiciary to punish the offenders and enforce strict laws that
would deter and set an example for others. Only then will our women get the respect and
status they deserve.

Yours faithfully
Omar
