Subject : Banning overcrowding of 50-60 students in one section

Sir,

I Rashmi, a social worker from Delhi would like to bring your attention towards the unfair practice of admitting somewhat 50-60 students in one class just for the sake of extra money by schools. Even the reputed schools are playing with the future of the students by this inappropriate teacher-student ratio.

Thus, I request you to throw some light on this topic so that we can save the academic standards from getting adversely affected.

Thank You

Yours sincerely

Rashmi

making bangles for all the women in the land it seems .None of them know
that it is illegal for children like him to work in the glass furnaces with high temperatures, in dingy cells without air and light.

10. (b) How did the Tiger king meet his end? What is the irony about it?

After the Maharaja left, the hunters went to take a closer look at the tiger. The
tiger looked back at them rolling its eyes in bafflement. The men realised that the tiger
was not dead; the bullet had missed it. It had fainted from the shock of the bullet
whizzing past. One of the hunters took aim from a distance of one foot and shot
the tiger. This time he killed it without missing his mark. Maharaja was out for purchasing a birthday gift for his son and finally he spotted a wooden tiger in a toyshop and decided it was the perfect gift. On that day father and son played with that tiny little wooden tiger. It had been carved by an unskilled carpenter. Its surface was rough; tiny slivers of wood stood up like quills all over it. One of those slivers pierced the Maharaja’s right hand The next day, infection flared in the Maharaja’s right
hand. In four days, it developed into a suppurating sore which spread all over the arm. In this manner the hundredth tiger took its final revenge upon the Tiger King.
