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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Effective Introductions
A
–
–
–
good introduction does three things:
It gets the reader’s attention.
It provides background information.
It focuses the reader’s attention on the main idea
of the paper.
3. Effective Introductions
Why
–
–
–
bother with a good introduction?
You don’t get a second chance to make a first
impression.
It lets the reader know what to expect.
Hopefully, it will make the reader WANT to read
your paper.
4. Effective Introductions
Tips
–
–
–
–
Write a tentative introduction and change it later.
Write your introduction last.
Use an attention getter or hook.
Be straightforward and confident.
5. Effective Introductions
•
Attention Getters (Hooks)
–
–
–
–
–
–
Use an interesting quote
Use an intriguing example
Ask a thought-provoking question
Write a shocking statistic
Describe something or tell a story
Use a metaphor
6. Guess the Hook
The boys' restroom at my high school was disgusting. The concrete
walls of the restroom carried crude messages scratched into their
fading green paint. All of the doors had been torn off the hinges, so
there was no privacy. And the drains were nearly always clogged with
the paper towels that had been left in the sinks rather than thrown in
the trash. Paper towels, cigarette butts, and candy wrappers littered
the dirty, wet floor. But the thing I found most disgusting was the
tobacco juice that stained everything-toilets, wash basins, even the
floors. This filthy bathroom reflected the attitudes of the students in
this inner-city school who had as little respect for authority and
learning as they did for property.
7. Guess the Hook
Like the beds in the house of the three bears that
Goldilocks tried, some schools are too hard, some are too
soft, and some are just right. A school in which the rules
restrict the imagination and creativity of the students is
too hard. One in which there are too few rules often lacks
an environment where learning can take place. In a school
that is just right, students' and teachers' rights are not
violated by out-of-control students, yet everyone has the
freedom that is essential to real learning.
8. Effective Introductions
Strategies
–
to Avoid
Simply taking up the space by not saying much.
Example:
Slavery was one of the greatest tragedies in
American history. There were many different aspects of
slavery. Each created different kinds of problems for enslaved
people.
9. Effective Introductions
Strategies
–
to Avoid (con’t)
Using the Webster’s Dictionary introduction
Example:
Webster's dictionary defines slavery as "the state of
being a slave," as "the practice of owning slaves," and as "a
condition of hard work and subjection."
10. Effective Introductions
Strategies
–
–
–
to Avoid (con’t)
Don’t use trite expressions, such as “In today’s
society, or “For as long as man has existed.”
“In this essay/paper, I will tell you…”
“My name is _______ and I am going to tell you…
11. Are these introductions effective?
Is
there a hook?
Does it focus your attention?
Is background information provided?
12. Introduction 1
Every writer experiences that moment: she walks into a bookstore,
looks at the nearest display of whatever book is the “hot seller” that
week, and wonders, “How can someone write something that bad and
get published, but I can’t?” The publishing industry is known for being
hyper-competitive and almost as fickle as the field of fashion design.
With thousands of talented, unknown writers vying to get discovered,
sometimes it seems like the answer to the question of “who gets a
publishing deal this week” is as random, and as risky, as a game of
Russian roulette. Writers seeking to take control of their careers and
their lives need to re-evaluate the typical publishing cycle and consider
whether or not self-publishing is a viable option. Self-publishing is an
accessible means of pursuing the business of authorship, allows a
writer to exercise more control over her intellectual property, and gives
a writer the flexibility to promote her writing in a way that she finds
acceptable and effective.
13. Introduction 2
When Tess of the D'Urbervilles, by Thomas Hardy, was first
published in 1891, it was released in serial version for The
Graphic magazine and was heavily edited to provide for the
Victorian sense of modesty and decency. Many important parts
of the novel were omitted, moved, or simply altered, destroying
some of the novel's literary and symbolic meaning. Some of
these differences between the original and edited versions
completely altered the storyline of the novel, making it hard for
readers to identify with characters and understand the
motivation behind their actions. The edits made to Hardy's
original version alter vital sections of the novel, de-emphasizing
themes and character development in the process.
14. Introduction 3
Educators debate extending high school to five years because
of increasing demands on students from employers and
colleges to participate in extracurricular activies and community
service in addition to having high grades. Some educators
support extending high school to five years because they think
students need more time to achieve all that is expected of
them. Other educators do not support extending high school to
five years because they think students would lose interest in
school and attendance would drop in the fifth year. Both sides
have strong points, but I agree with the educators who say that
their shouldn't be an extension to high school adding a fifth
year.
15. Introduction 4
If you ever ask a highschool student whether they
would want to go one more year very few would say
yes. I would, not because I like school, not because I
enjoy spending six hours cooped up inside, but
because I could use one more year to just be sure I
am completely prepared for college. Along with this I
feel that because we are required to take tenth grade
graduation test and most of our tenth grade year is
spent preparing for this test.
16. Writing Conclusions
A
–
–
–
–
good conclusion:
Gives the reader a sense of completion
Re-emphasizes the thesis in some way
May briefly summarize the main points
Confirms the reader’s understanding of what he
or she read
18. Writing Conclusions
Different Types
–
–
Restatement of main idea. The main idea may be reemphasized or reinforced. If you choose this type of
conclusion be sure not to merely repeat your thesis. You
not only should vary the wording so that your conclusion is
not too similar to your introduction but should also try to get
beyond your thesis statement.
General impression. If your essay is basically a
description of an experience or of some person, place, or
thing, an effective conclusion might consist of a statement
of the dominant impression you have attempted to convey.
19. Writing Conclusions
Different Types
–
–
Recommendation. An essay can be concluded with a
suggestion for some action the writer feels should be taken.
This type of conclusion is especially appropriate if the main
idea is a controversial statement or one that is persuasive in
nature.
Prediction. Even though a conclusion is the final part of an
essay, it can be used to make a prediction on the basis of
the major points made in the essay. This prediction should
be closely related to the content of the essay, giving a
reasonable explanation of what may happen.
20. Writing Conclusions
Tips
–
–
–
–
–
–
Do not contradict yourself.
Do not introduce a new topic.
Do not end with a cliché.
Do not apologize for lack of knowledge or
resources.
Make your conclusion brief and to the point.
Make sure the tone is consistent with the rest of
your essay.
