CSS candidates are required to produce essays in accordance with certain expectations of the paper setter which are mentioned on top of the essay question paper. Essays contained in this book help you to come up to the expectations of the examiner to get highest possible marks. To start with, one of his requirements is “exposition” which means that you should try to reveal and discuss maximum relevant aspects of the topic. A half-hearted and sketchy dealing of some of its imperatives will not serve the purpose. Then comes his demand concerning “argumentation” i.e. whenever you make a point do not forget to establish its identity by to uphold or discard it by genuine and forceful arguments. Further wherever you raise a question or come across a controversial situation do have a few arguments for and against the proposition. While doing so give your own point of view as well. Discuss alternatives with arguments to sift right from the wrong or accept the right and reject the wrong. Next comes “description” which implies giving a vivid account of the situation under discussion. It demands presentation of all relevant details clearly and convincingly. Description is followed by “Narration” which means moving ahead vigorously. Candidates who are short of ideas often indulge in tail-spinning, beating about the bush, or moving in circles just to fill up as many pages of the answer book as possible. Narrative demands smooth and logical flow of ideas, moving from one thought to the next effortlessly. A stuck up expression results in loss of interest and lands the reader in a state of drudgery.

In August 1765, the East India Company defeated the young Mughal emperor and set up, in his place, a government run by English traders who collected taxes through means of a private army.
The creation of this new government marked the moment that the East India Company ceased to be a conventional company and became something much more unusual: an international corporation transformed into an aggressive colonial power. Over the course of the next 47 years, the company’s reach grew until almost all of India south of Delhi was effectively ruled from a boardroom in the city of London.
The Anarchy tells one of history’s most remarkable stories: how the Mughal Empire-which dominated world trade and manufacturing and possessed almost unlimited resources-fell apart and was replaced by a multinational corporation based thousands of miles overseas, and answerable to shareholders, most of whom had never even seen India and no idea about the country whose wealth was providing their dividends. Using previously untapped sources, Dalrymple tells the story of the East India Company as it has never been told before and provides a portrait of the devastating results from the abuse of corporate power.
“Men suppose their reason has command over their words; still it happens that words in return exercise authority on reason.”
-Francis Bacon
Thoughts remain cluttered until expressed in some form of language. We have to write, speak or act our thoughts; otherwise they will remain obscure, befuddled and in a half-torpid form. Our feelings must come out to others or they will be as clouds, which, till they descend in rain, will never bring up fruit or flower. So, it’s all about the inward feelings; expression gives them development, thought is the blossom; language the sprout and action the fruit of it. In addition to your physical appearance and the way you carry yourself, others will appraise you exclusively on the basis of the words that come out of your mouth. Even if you are considered a genius in any field, a poor vocabulary will send across a message that you are not savvy or very intelligent. This is the age of competition. In today’s world, if one is to enter into the auspicious professional world and make a promising and illustrious career, an extensive knowledge of the exact meanings of English words is imperative.
Criminology is the study of crime from a social perspective: the causes of crime, the social impact of crime, and the criminals involved in the crime. Criminologists study criminology in an attempt to better understand what motivates the criminal to act in a criminal manner. Their work is generally focused on the7 study of: Theories explaining illegal and/or deviant behavior, The social reaction to crime. The political terrain of social control. The effectiveness of anti-crime policies, Criminals, Crimes, Crime victims. Many law enforcement agencies routinely seek out criminologists to profile criminals so as to gain a better understanding of their rationale and what motivates their criminal behavior. Criminologists seek to gain answers to what really happens on the streets, in courtrooms, in police stations, and behind prison bars. These social science professionals use their expertise to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of any number of laws, policies, and proposals. They also look for answers by studying the socio-cultural, economic, and global roots of crime, the meaning of crime, and crime rates, and by measuring criminal activity and its impact on criminals and on society as a whole.
