This document discusses medical prefixes, suffixes, and forming plurals. It notes that prefixes express numbers, measurements, position, direction, negatives, and color but do not change the meaning of the word. Suffixes can make a word a noun or adjective and indicate specialties, specialists, instruments, and procedures. When forming plurals, common changes include replacing 'a' with 'ae', 'ax' with 'aces', 'is' with 'es', 'ix/ex/yx' with 'ices', 'on' with 'a', and 'um' with 'a'.

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.
