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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
2. 1. Highway Development in India
• Excavations in the sites of Indus valley, Mohenjodero and Harappan civilizations revealed
the existence of planned roads in India as old as 2500-3500 BC
• Ancient books like Arthashastra written by Kautilya, a great administrator of the Mauryan
times, contained rules for regulating traffic, depths of roads for various purposes, and
punishments for obstructing traffic
• During the time of Mughal period, roads in India were greatly improved. Roads linking
North-West and the Eastern areas through gangetic plains were built during this time
• The construction of Grand-Trunk road connecting North and South is a major contribution
of the British. However, the focus was later shifted to railways, except for feeder roads to
important stations
3. 1. Highway Development in India
• The first World war period and that immediately following it found a rapid growth in
motor transport. So need for better roads became a necessity
• For that, the Government of India appointed a committee called Road development
Committee with Mr. M.R. Jayakar as the chairman
• This committee came to be known as Jayakar committee
• In 1927 Jayakar committee for Indian road development was appointed
Jaykar Committee:
4. 1. Highway Development in India
• The major recommendations and the resulting implementations of Jayakar committee are:
1. The road development of the country has become beyond the capacity of local
governments and suggested that Central government should take the proper charge
considering it as a matter of national interest
2. Implementation of long term planning programme, for a period of 20 years (hence
called twenty year plan) that is to formulate plans and implement those plans with in the
next 20 years
3. Imposition of additional taxation on motor transport which includes duty on motor
spirit, vehicle taxation, license fees for vehicles plying for hire. This led to the
introduction of a development fund called Central Road Fund in 1929. This fund was
intended for road development
5. 1. Highway Development in India
4. Holding of periodic road conferences to discuss about road construction and
development. This paved the way for the establishment of a semi-official technical body
called Indian Road Congress (IRC) in 1934
5. A dedicated research organization should be constituted to carry out research and
development work. This resulted in the formation of Central Road Research Institute
(CRRI) in 1950
6. 1. Highway Development in India
• 1939—Motor Vehicle Act (Revised in 1988 and came into force in 1989)
• 1956—National Highway Act
• 1988—National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) (Revised form of National Highway
Act) started working in 1995
• 1973—Highway Research Board (HRB)
Other milestones
7. 2. Necessity for Highway Planning
The objects of highway planning are briefly given below:
• To plan a road network for efficient and safe traffic operation, but at cost. Here the costs
of construction, maintenance and renewal of pavement layers and the vehicle operation
costs are to be given due consideration
• To arrive at the road system and the lengths of different categories of roads which could
provide maximum utility and could be constructed within the available resources during
the plan period under consideration
• To fix up date wise priorities for development of each road link based on utility as the
main criterion for phasing the road development programme
• To plan for future requirements and improvements of roads in view of anticipated
developments
• To work out financing system.
8. 3. Road Development plans in India
Nagpur Road Plan (1943-1963):
• The second World War saw a rapid growth in road traffic and this led to the deterioration
in the condition of roads. To discuss about improving the condition of roads, the
government convened a conference of chief engineers of provinces at Nagpur in 1943
• A twenty year development programme for the period (1943-1963) was finalized. It was
the first attempt to prepare a co-ordinated road development programme in a planned
manner. The result of the conference is famous as the Nagpur plan
• One of the objective was that the road length should be increased so as to give a road
density of 16kms per 100 sq.km
• They recommended the construction of star and grid pattern of roads throughout the
country
9. 3. Road Development plans in India
Nagpur Road Plan (1943-1963):
• In Nagpur Road plan the roads were divided into four classes: –
1. National highways which would pass through states, and places having national
importance for strategic, administrative and other purposes
2. State highways which would be the other main roads of a state
3. District roads which would take traffic from the main roads to the interior of the
district . According to the importance, some are considered as major district roads
and the remaining as other district roads
4. Village roads which would link the villages to the road system.
10. 3. Road Development plans in India
Bombay Road Plan (1961-1981):
• The changed economic, industrial and agricultural conditions in the country warranted a
review of the Nagpur plan
• Accordingly a 20-year plan was drafted by the Roads wing of Government of India,
which is popularly known as the Bombay plan
• It was the second 20 year road plan (1961-1981)
• Rural roads were given specific attention. Scientific methods of construction was
proposed for the rural roads. The necessary technical advice to the Panchayaths should
be given by State PWD’s.
• They suggested that the length of the road should be increased so as to give a road
density of 32kms/100 sq.km
• The construction of 1600 km of expressways was also then included in the plan
11. 3. Road Development plans in India
Lucknow Road Plan (1981-2001) :
• This was the third 20 year road plan (1981-2001). It is also called Lucknow road plan
• It aimed at constructing a road length of 12 lakh kilometres by the year 1981 resulting in
a road density of 82kms/100 sq.km
• The plan has set the target length of NH to be completed by the end of seventh, eighth
and ninth five year plan periods
• It aims at improving the transportation facilities in villages, towns etc. such that no part
of country is farther than 50 km from NH
• One of the goals contained in the plan was that expressways should be constructed on
major traffic corridors to provide speedy travel
• Energy conservation, environmental quality of roads and road safety measures were also
given due importance in this plan.
12. 3. Road Development plans in India
2000—National Highway Development Projects (NHDP) (Taken up by NHAI)
Planned road development in different phases to construct roads with uninterrupted
flow of traffic
Phase I: Golden Quadrilateral (5846 km)
Mumbai–Chennai–Kolkata–Delhi (All major metropolitan cities)
Phase II: 1. North–South corridor (7300 km)
(Srinagar to Kanyakumari)
2. East–West corridor
(Silchar to Porbandar)
2000—Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)
• To provide connectivity to all unconnected habitations with population 500 and above
with all-weather roads.
13. 3. Road Development plans in India
Vision 2021
• The fourth road development plan has not yet been approved.
• Instead Road Development plan vision: 2021 has been formulated for the period 2001–2021
• Special attention for road development in North–East and isolated areas
• Target by 2020
14. 4. Classification of Roads
• The roads can be classified in many ways. The classification based on speed and
accessibility is the most generic one
• Note that as the accessibility of road increases, the speed reduces
• Accordingly, the roads can be classified as follows in the order of increased accessibility and
reduced speeds
15. 4. Classification of Roads
a) Freeways:
• Freeways are access-controlled divided highways
• Most freeways are four lanes, two lanes each direction, but many freeways widen to
incorporate more lanes as they enter urban areas
• Access is controlled through the use of interchanges, and the type of interchange
depends upon the kind of intersecting road way (rural roads, another freeway etc.)
16. 4. Classification of Roads
b) Expressways:
• They are superior type of highways and are designed for high speeds ( 120 km/hr is
common), high traffic volume and safety
• They are generally provided with grade separations at intersections
• Parking, loading and unloading of goods and pedestrian traffic is not allowed on
expressways
c) Highways:
• They represent the superior type of roads in the country
• Highways are of two types - rural highways and urban highways.
• Rural highways are those passing through rural areas (villages) and urban highways are
those passing through large cities and towns, i.e. urban areas.
17. 4. Classification of Roads
d) Arterials:
• It is a general term denoting a street primarily meant for through traffic usually on a
continuous route. They are generally divided highways with fully or partially controlled
access. Parking, loading and unloading activities are usually restricted and regulated.
Pedestrians are allowed to cross only at intersections/designated pedestrian crossings
e) Local streets :
• A local street is the one which is primarily intended for access to residence, business or
abutting property
• It does not normally carry large volume of traffic and also it allows unrestricted parking
and pedestrian movements
f) Collector streets:
• These are streets intended for collecting and distributing traffic to and from local streets
and also for providing access to arterial streets. Normally full access is provided on these
streets . There are few parking restrictions except during peak hours.
18. 4. Classification of Roads
Classification is based on whether the roads can be used during different seasons of the year:
a) All-weather roads: Those roads which are negotiable during all weathers, except at
major river crossings where interruption of traffic is permissible up to a certain extent
are called all weather roads
b) Fair-weather roads: Roads which are negotiable only during fair weather are called
fair weather roads
Classification is based on the type of the carriage way or the road pavement:
a) Paved roads with hard surface: If they are provided with a hard pavement course such
roads are called paved roads
ex: stones, Water bound macadam (WBM), Bituminous macadam (BM), concrete roads)
a) Unpaved roads: Roads which are not provided with a hard course of atleast a WBM
layer they is called unpaved roads. Thus earth and gravel roads come under this
category.
19. 4. Classification of Roads
Classification Based on the type of pavement surfacing provided:
a) Surfaced roads (BM, concrete): Roads which are provided with a bituminous or cement
concreting surface are called surfaced roads
b) Unsurfaced roads (soil/gravel): Roads which are not provided with a bituminous or
cement concreting surface are called unsurfaced roads
20. 5. Road Network Patterns
The various road patterns are classified as:
a) Rectangular or Block pattern (Ex: Chandigarh)
b) Radial or Star and block pattern
c) Radial or star and circular pattern (Ex: Connaught place in New Delhi)
d) Radial or star and grid pattern (Ex:Nagpur Road plan)
e) Hexagonal pattern
f) Minimum travel pattern
