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.

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. What is exactly is Game Sense?
• Game sense is a fairly new approach to teaching physical education which uses games as the
focus of the lesson. It replaces a ‘tradition approach’ that sees a focus on performing
techniques in isolation to the game (Light, 2013).
• A student-centered pedagogy that allows students to develop their own skills and knowledge
during the active involvement of a game. Playing of the games is are at the center of the
lesson instead of teaching specific skills and techniques of a sport (Light, 2013).
• Game sense is more than just games for learning, instead the games are sequenced to achieve
particular outcomes, discussion is included to stimulate higher order thinking and provide
students the opportunity to collaborate with peers to evaluate and modify the games they are
playing (Pill, 2014a).
3. Tell me more..
• Social interaction is at the heart of this approach. The
interaction between students in these games and the
development of understanding makes them fun and
motivating.
• Research shows that adopting a game sense approach
has the potential to develop cognitive and physical
abilities through movement (Light, 2013).
• The key feature is the understanding that students
develop about a sport rather than just learning about
performance strategies that are broken away and are out
of context (Pill, 2014a)

reflection
What does a physical education (PE) lesson using a
game sense approach look like?
5. Pedagogical features of game sense
As suggested by Light (2013), there are four features at the core of the game sense pedagogy:
1. The learning environment
Student learning happens through their participation in modified games rather than through teacher
instruction. The teachers planning and designing of the modified games are crucial to the learning
environment.
2. Emphasizing questioning
Teacher questioning is important for stimulating discussion and reflection. After a game is played, the
teacher will bring the class together and pose open ended questions. Here students have the opportunity to
evaluate game play. In a game of Monkey in the Middle the questioning might look like this, ‘What are
you finding challenging in this game? Was there one person in the middle for a long time? How did this
effect your engagement? What could you change about the game to overcome this?’. It is important for
questions to be open ended and for students to know there are no right or wrong answers.
6. Pedagogy continued
3. Collaboration
Following questioning time, students formulate strategies to
improve the game through group discussion. The game is
then played again with these modifications. Throughout
game play, students interact with each other and collectively
decide the most effective way to play the game.
4. Supportive environment
Due to the collaborative nature of the game sense approach,
it is important for the teacher to create an environment that
is safe and supportive in which students feel comfortable to
engage. The teacher can do this by creating a culture where
it is okay to make mistakes.
7. Game Sense and the Syllabus
Using the game sense approach in physical education has students
building upon all 5 skills outcomes outline in the syllabus for Stage
3 learners (year 5):
Communicating COS3.3 - Communicates confidently in a variety
of situations
Decision Making DMS3.3 - Makes informed decisions and accepts
responsibility for consequences
Interacting INS3.3 - Acts in ways that enhance the contribution of
self and others in a range of cooperative situations
Moving MOS3.4 - Refines and applies movement skills creatively
to variety of challenging situations
Problem solving PSS3.5 - Suggests, considers and selects
appropriate alternatives when resolving problems.
8. Game sense and the Syllabus
It also links with the knowledge and understanding outcome:
Games and Sports GSS3.8 - Applies movement skills in games and sports
that require communication, cooperation, decision making and observation
of rules.
As a student:
• Devises games or refines rules of games
• Participates in games and sports combing strategy, teamwork, movement
skill and fair play
• Explains the rationale for particular strategies and rules in team sports
• Develops strategies for effective teamwork
9. Why I think it is the BEST approach to teach
your children
When teaching your students physical education, I will be taking on a game sense
approach. I believe it will benefit them in the following ways:
• Increase motivation by letting them play a game first before being introduced to
skills/techniques
• Learning is more meaningful as they have the opportunity to modify the games
themselves
• Student centered – I am not telling them the best way the play the game, they are
working it out for themselves
• Collaboration – students formulate strategies as a team
• Supports critical thinking and problem solving
• Students have more time for physical education as there is less teacher led
instruction time
