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 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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The term drama comes from a Greek word meaning ‘action’, which is derived from the verb meaning ‘to
do’ or ‘to act’.
The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and
tragedy.
Drama is when characters deal with emotional themes. Themes such as : alcoholism, drug addiction,
infidelity, moral dilemmas, racial prejudice, religious intolerance, sexuality, poverty, class divisions,
violence against women and corruption which places them in a difficult place against themselves, others
and society.
Drama is one of the broadest movie genre.
As an example ‘Ordinary’ people goes deep under the skin of everyday life to ask big questions and touch
on the deepest emotions of normal people.
In the 1950’s the arrival of stage actors like Marlon Brando, trained in the area of more naturalistic
techniques, which was slowly changing drama to a more realistic progress.
By the 1970s melodrama was nearly finished being a knowledge genre, as the need for realism dominated
film in groundbreaking movies like Martin Scorsese’s mean streets.
Drama was seen as a way to teach the audience.
Dramatic films focused on characters relationships and development.
Drama was born around the 1950s which evolved from melodramas to mainly drama containing realistic
context that related to the audience as well as the characters always leaving a message for the audience
to think about at the end.
4. Purpose
The purpose of the drama genre is to move the audience emotionally and to
revolve around everyday life.
This genre has this purpose because the director wants the audience to be
engaged with the story and relate to it.
The effect on the audience is they go through the same emotions as the
characters are going through.
However, some films contain conventions of multiple genres.
Therefore the purpose of the comedy-drama genre is to make the audience
laugh at matters that could be seen as dramatic.
And the purpose of the romance-drama genre is to revolve around romance
that the audience can relate to and the struggles/drama they go through. (eg:
Titanic)
