Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Dear Colleagues,
I do hope you have enjoyed a good break at some point over the Easter period – all flashes by
so quickly!
Since the last bulletin, of course, the Common Accord London Workshop went ahead on 25
March at Westminster Kingsway College. This was an important and well received event
packed with information and easy access to the relevant resource materials and our thanks to
Teresa Frith, AoC Skills Policy Manager, for her insights into this area. The session was
designed to help build understanding of the Common Accord and its potential implications for
the management of sub-contracting relationships. It enabled Colleges to consider their own
practices alongside the Common Accord Guide and to gain a greater understanding of the
newly drawn up Skills Funding Agency rules surrounding the Common Accord. Materials for
this event included The Common Accord, The Good Practice Guide, the relevant Skills Funding
Agency Rules and presentations used on the day. For copies of this material please contact
Evelina.
AoC London and Hackney Community College represented London Colleges at the London
th
Apprenticeship Stakeholder Workshop held on 28 March at City Hall, chaired by Tim
Campbell, MBE. The purpose of the workshop included developing a series of proposals for
submission to the London Enterprise Panel around enhanced employer incentives, a further
joint marketing and communication campaign, and a Higher Level Investment Fund. For
further information please contact me.
th
Looking ahead, the AoC London Regional Committee meets on 18 April, our Principals’
th
Forum is on 24 April and the VPs Curriculum and Quality Group meets on 29 April 2013.
Best wishes
