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.

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.

3. Officers can write sentences in either active
voice or passive voice.
Active voice: I questioned Boaz about the
argument.
Passive voice: Boaz was questioned about
the argument by me.
4. Criminal justice professionals used to believe
that writing in passive voice made them more
trustworthy and objective.
Not true.
6. Writing in passive voice does not enhance your
professionalism or integrity..
7. And there’s an important reason for avoiding
passive voice in your reports:
Passive-voice sentences often don’t tell who
did the action.
Passive: Figueroa was arrested.
Active: I arrested Figueroa.
8. This who-did-what problem is especially serious
when you’re preparing to testify in court.
Suppose, for example, you were working a
scene with another officer. Passive-voice
sentences don’t show what each officer did.
Judy was interviewed. [Who interviewed her?]
Barry was patted down. [Who patted him
down?]
9. One more caution: Don’t assume that every is
or was sentence is passive voice.
The family was on vacation in Acapulco.
ACTIVE
The car is a light-blue, 2009 Yaris hatchback.
ACTIVE
Peter was sleeping in the back bedroom.
ACTIVE
10. It’s important to follow this rule in every report:
Make sure each sentence clearly shows who
was acting or speaking.
