Damodar Shree Essay Writing Competition 2017 (Shortlist Announced)

Damodar Shree essay writing competition 2017 is conducted by S.S Khanna College and the Saraswat Khatri Pathshala society. The essay competition is open to all the students who are pursuing their Graduation or Post-Graduation in any stream. Students can participate both in Hindi and in the English language for the Damodar Shree Essay writing competition 2017.

Theme of Damodar Shree Essay Writing Competition 2017

The theme of the essay is “A Beautiful Home” " सुन्दर घर "

What is a home? Is it a place to which people belong, where they feel protected, cared for safe? Is it a place they, together, make? Is it a place they, together, learn to live? Is it the domain of the mother where there is love, caring, affection, concern, dialogue? Are the market and the frontier, battlegrounds of the father? Can a home be beautiful if authority and an imposed discipline replace democratic dialogue? Is the home a place outside us or also within us? Does an exile carry a home within him? Is home freedom? Why is a prison not a home? What is a beautiful home? Is home a small bounded area? Is home a place that extends hospitality and destroys otherness? Is it that space where the mind finds silence and integrates all human findings into one harmonious whole? Is it a floor upon which the scientific and religious quest of humanity will dance in partnership? Can home expand boundlessly towards greater and yet greater vastness? Is my country my home? Is the earth my home? Or the vast infinite spaces beyond the reach of finitude and death my home.
