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.

Cellular structure and function ii
1. • Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles
that are found in eukaryotic cells. These pictures
compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
2. The Nucleus and Cell Control
• The nucleus is the leader
of the eukaryotic cell
because it contains the
directions to make
proteins. Every part of the
cell depends on proteins,
so by containing the
blueprint to make proteins,
the nucleus controls the
activity of the organelles.
3. The Nucleus and Cell Control
• The master set of
directions for making
proteins is contained
in the chromatin,
which are strands of
genetic material,
DNA. When a cell
divides , the
chromatin condenses
to form
chromosomes.
4. The Nucleus and Cell Control
• Within the nucleus is a
prominent organelle
called the nucleolus,
which makes ribosomes.
Ribosomes are the sites
where the cell produces
proteins according to the
directions of the DNA.
Unlike other organelles,
ribosomes are not bound
by a membrane.
5. The Nucleus and Cell Control
• Cytoplasm is the clear,
gelatinous fluid inside
a cell. As the
ribosomes and the
copied DNA are
transported into the
cytoplasm, they pass
through the nuclear
envelope through pores
in the nuclear
envelope.
6. Assembly, Transport, and Storage
• The endoplasmic
reticulum (ER) is the site
of cellular chemical
reactions.
• The ER is arranged in a
series of highly folded
membranes suspended in
the cytoplasm. The
folding allows for a large
amount of folded ER to
fit in a small space.
7. Assembly, Transport, and Storage
• Ribosomes in the
cytoplasm are attached
to the surface of the
endoplasmic reticulum,
called rough ER, where
they carry out the
function of protein
synthesis.
• The ribosome’s only job
is to make proteins.
8. Assembly, Transport, and Storage
• Areas of the ER that are
not studded with
ribosomes are known as
smooth endoplasmic
reticulum. The smooth
ER is involved in
numerous biochemical
activities, including
production and storage of
lipids.
9. Assembly, Transport, and Storage
• The Golgi apparatus is a
flattened stack of tubular
membranes that modify
proteins. The Golgi
apparatus sorts proteins
into packages and packs
them into membrane-bound
structures called
vesicles, to be sent to the
appropriate destination.
10. Vacuoles and Storage
• Cells have membrane-bound
compartments, called
vacuoles, for temporary
storage of materials. A
vacuole is a sac surrounded
by a membrane. Vacuoles
often store food, enzymes,
and other materials needed
by the cell and some
vacuoles store waste
products.
11. Lysosomes and Recycling
• Lysosomes are organelles
that contain digestive
enzymes. They digest excess
or worn out organelles, food
particles, and engulfed
viruses or bacteria. The
membrane surrounding a
lysosome prevents the
digestive enzymes inside
from destroying the cell.
12. Energy Transformers
• Chloroplasts are cell
organelles that capture light
energy and convert it to
chemical energy. A
chloroplast has a double
membrane. There is an outer
membrane and a folded inner
membrane system. It is
within these inner thylakoid
membranes that the energy
from sunlight is trapped.
These membranes are
arranged in stacks of
membranous sacs called
grana, which resemble
stacks of coins.
13. Energy Transformers
• The chloroplast belongs to
a group of plant organelles
called plastids, which are
used for storage. Plastids
are named according to
their color or the pigment
that they contain.
Chloroplasts contain the
green pigment
chlorophyll. Chlorophyll
traps light energy and
gives leaves and stems
their green color.
14. Energy Transformers
• Mitochondria are
membrane-bound
organelles in plant and
animal cells that transform
energy for the cell. This
energy is then stored in
the bonds of other
molecules that cell
organelles can access
easily when energy is
needed.
15. Energy Transformers
A mitochondrion has an
outer membrane and a highly
folded inner membrane. The
folds of the inner membrane
provides a large surface area
that fits inside a small space.
Energy-storing molecules are
produced on the inner folds
of the mitochondria. The
number of mitochondria
within a cell depends on the
function of the cell.
16. The Cytoskeleton
• The cytoskeleton forms a
framework for the cell, like the
skeleton forms a framework for
your body. The cytoplasm is a
constantly changing structure.
• The cytoskeleton is a network
of tiny rods and filaments.
Microtubules are thin, hollow
cylinders made of protein.
Microfilaments are smaller,
solid protein fibers. Together,
they help maintain the shape of
a cell like poles help maintain
the shape of a tent.
17. Centrioles
• Centrioles are
organelles found in
the cells of animals
and most protists.
They occur in pairs
and are made up of
microtubules.
Centrioles play an
important role in
cell division.
18. Locomotion
• Some cell surfaces
have cilia and flagella,
which are organelles
made of microtubules
that aid the cell in
locomotion or
feeding. Cilia and
flagella can be
distinguished by their
structure and by the
nature of their action.
19. Locomotion
• Cilia are short, numerous projections that
look like hairs. Their motion is similar to that
of oars in a rowboat.
20. Locomotion
• Flagella are longer projections that move with a
whip-like motion. A cell usually only has one or
two flagella. In unicellular organisms, cilia and
flagella are the major means of locomotion.
