intro: it is not a myth..it does not fall in the realm of fantasy and it is very much possible
why it is considered to be a myth: equality in term of physical strength only, but actually it is a cannot be limited to it alone..equality include the equality in term of intellect, rights and obligation
what factors make gender equality look like a myth: no representation of other gender, lack of political will in their part, hold of feudal lords and narrow minded ulema on legislature, patriarchal society, stereotypes inculcated by society, religious misinterpretation, illeteracy,,blah blah
is it possible: yes..
how can it be ensured:
by representation in legislature,by imparting education, role of media,blah blah
conclusion:.............i hope this is fine..

This one was the best paper for those candidates who attempted it in a various ways t0 write in an analytical approach. Almost, reapeated essays are coming in the forthcoming years. Though, the essay related with education was also one of the essays in the year of 2009. NOw, It is the same but with a different strategy. That was related with cO-education but Today's paper was related with schools and colleges. It is a same case with a different approach.
Well, Best Of LucK

Majority of the topics were argumentative in style. This paper is quite different from those of previous years. Although it may seem easier, but it is not an easy paper. Candidates will have to think hard to produce their own original ideas!

Good Luck to CSS 2013 Aspirants!

Such as in

You are right bhai. I think this year they really want to check the analytical abilities and the expression of the candidates. Anyone can give arguments on these topics but how well one can present one's ideas is actually going to matter.

I must say very good paper. Some will say that its an easy paper as 3,4 topics are quite predictable but whatever the topic is, only those will secure good marks who possess good argumentative and analytical skills and have used the same in the examination hall too. Best of luck to all the 2013 aspirants.

It is pretty elaborate and I don't think it is small. I can't say how many words but my outline was of 1 page and essay of 10 pages. At max it would be close to 2k words which is good enough. You can taunt back once the result is announced

I attempted: (8) Free speech should have limitations.
