Explanation: Pen is mightier than sword means what we write or our thoughts can have more effect than an actual sword's attack. You have to write points in support or opposition to this sentence.
You may consider following points for it:
- It means our words are more powerful than our weapons of war such as sword.
- When we write and convey something, it can have psychological effects on the person.
- Suppose there's war and a letter is written to manipulate the enemy morally, then the enemy gets defeated even without having war.
- It plays mind games.
- War with sword can cause physical damage.
- When someone gets hurt by sword, someone else can replace that person.
- Using a pen - i.e. words we can win someone's hearts and make them our friends.
- We can give one example of Mughal history.
- Aurangzeb had come to capture Maratha kingdom. At that time, Shivaji Mahraj's son Sambhaji was the king.
- Now, Sambhaji was going to meet Rajput and Aurangzeb's son, who was his enemy. All three would attack Aurangzeb.
- But Aurangzeb instead wrote a letter and created internal conflict. Because of that forces weren't united and without fighting any war with swords, he won.
- From one example: India's name reached world wide through the books that were written about it or the letters that were written to describe the importance of this land. That powerful is the strength of words.
- There were many small kingdoms in region which is present day India, but the fights that took place here among the rulers i.e. swords didn't make India's name great, but it was letters, books on India that made it greater in foreigners' eye.
- The pen which can be used for good things can be used for bad things too.
- For example: One can write hate messages and spread them. When that happens, a large mass of people joins marches towards someone.
- Suppose a country T wrote that country Y said something bad about country T, then that can cause a lot of damage to country Y's reputation.
- And words are something where most people don't go and check if they are true.
- So, pen as a tool can be very much misused.
- When there's sword fight, we can actually see if someone's fighting or not.
- But if I tell that 100 people are killed of X community, then people don't go count them. They might become angry and attack those.
- In this way, we can say that pen is more powerful than sword.
