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 Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities.

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.

2. Finding Keywords:Finding Keywords:
You may need to do some preliminary work in order to discover keywords
that will help you locate information on your topic.
What were the effects of the Holocaust on survivors?
You can:
Start with Wikipedia
Here I learned that more than one “Holocaust” took place. Although usually
“Holocaust” refers to Hitler’s extermination of Jews (and others), I want to be
sure that my information is about the Jewish Holocaust during WWII.
Use an online database to read an encyclopedia article.
In Britannica Online I learned that not only Jews were victims of the Holocaust;
homosexuals, gypsies, political dissidents, Jehovah’s Witnesses were also taken
to concentration camps. Do I want to include these in my research? Do I want
to focus exclusively on them, just to be different?
Use Follett to find a print resource.
3. State your topic as a question:
What were the effects of the Holocaust on
survivors?
5. Think of synonyms:
Other potential search terms:
Nazi
Concentration camps
Effects: OR consequences OR results
Holocaust: OR Shoah (Jewish term),
OR Final Solution
Survivors: ?
6. Should you even be using the Web?
PRINT RESOURCES
DATABASES
Good news! Regardless of what resource you use, you’ll
need to have good keywords and usually need to use boolean
logic to make finding information easier! You’ll use this stuff.
. . . . I promise!
7. Search EnginesSearch Engines
Google
Bing
SweetSearch
Google ROCKS, but it’s not the only band in
town! Check these out, too!
Clusty
When Bing shows you your hits, you can mouse over an arrow
on the right side of each hit to view a snippet from the webpage.
Also, a column on the left hand side of the page shows “Related
Searches,” which may help you dig a little deeper.
SweetSearch was developed especially for students. The hits it
returns have all been evaluated by teachers, research experts and
librarians. You’re more likely to find primary sources using this
search engine.
Clusty is a meta-search engine that searches several search
engines simultaneously. Clusty also groups hits based on
keywords, helping you fine-tune your search and find alternate
keywords for which to search.
8. Boolean SearchingBoolean Searching
George Boole,
mathematician who
established Boolean
logic, which is basic
to the design of
digital computer
circuits and the basis
for the logical
connectors which are
used in a search
query.
Uses the connectors AND, OR, and NOT.
These three terms are just the tip of the iceberg
when talking about Boolean logic. They’ll go a long
way, however, in helping you find just what you
want on the Internet!
9. AND
Use “AND” when you want to find both terms in each hit that is
returned.
HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
Your results will be only web
pages that contain BOTH search
terms.
10. *Note: Most search engines assume that AND is
intended between search terms. You don’t have to type it
in.
( )
11. OR
Use “OR” to find hits that include one term OR the next; this will return
the greatest number of hits.
All “hits” will include one
OR the other search term (a
few will include both).
This is helpful for some
searches, but not
necessarily for every one!
lawyers
attorneys
The search operator OR allows you to
search for SYNONYMS. One writer may
like the term “attorney,” but another
(who happens to be a smart writer with
useful stuff!) prefers “lawyer.” You’ll
take hits that use EITHER (or both!)
term(s).
12. NOT
Use “NOT” to eliminate terms that contain a term that you DO NOT
want. This will weed out irrelevant hits.
Typing NOT before a topic that you
do not wish to retrieve eliminates
that topic from your retrieval set
(hits).
China NOT dishes
13. Most search engines don’t recognize NOT as a boolean operator. Try using a
minus sign (-) in front of any search term you DON’T want.
For example, I want Holocaust AND survivors NOT Jews.
This is what I type:
holocaust survivors -jews
14. Adjacent Terms
Most search engines allow you to use quotes (“ ”) around a phrase to
find that phrase exactly as it appears in the quotes. For example a search
for “Holocaust survivors” will find hits ONLY with that exact phrase in the
content.
Holocaust survivors
“Holocaust survivors”
15. ReviewReview
First, find your keywords.
Write down your topic in the form of a question.
Identify main concepts/ideas.
Find synonyms.
17. Write out your key words as a phrase using boolean
operators.
Some search engines have great “Advanced Search”
pages, so try entering your terms there, as well.
18. Type your search phrase into the search engine and
look over what your search returned.
If your hits don’t meet your need, look at your
keywords again.
Can you add keywords?
Should you use quotes to be sure you get an exact
match?
Is there a term showing up in your hits that you want
to eliminate?
BE DISCRIMINATING! Most search engines are
commercial in nature (they are about making money) so
the information you get at the top of the list may NOT
be the “good stuff” you’ll need for your project.
19. DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!!!
If you don’t get good results, try different keywords. Restructure
your search. Try a different search engine.
Most importantly, if you’re having trouble finding good information,
ASK!
