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

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.

Income tax introduction and basic concepts
1. INTRODUCTION AND
BASIC CONCEPT OF
INCOME TAX
Dr.Sangeetha R
Assistant Professor

International Business
Hindusthan College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore
2. INTRODUCTION
❖ In a Welfare State, the Government takes primary responsibility for the welfare
of its citizens, as in matters of health care, education, employment,
infrastructure, social security and other development needs.
❖ To facilitate these, Government needs revenue.
❖ The taxation is the primary source of revenue to the Government for incurring
such public welfare expenditure.
❖ In other words, Government is taking taxes from public through its one hand and
through another hand; it incurs welfare expenditure for public at large.
❖ However, no one enjoys handing over his hard-earned money to the government
to pay taxes.
❖ Thus, taxes are compulsory or enforced contribution to the Government revenue
by public.
❖ Government may levy taxes on income, business profits or wealth or add it to
the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.
3. What Is an Income Tax?
An income tax is a tax that governments impose on income generated by
businesses and individuals within their jurisdiction. By law, taxpayers
must file an income tax return annually to determine their tax
obligations.Income taxes are a source of revenue for governments. They
are used to fund public services, pay government obligations, and
provide goods for citizens.
4. DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAX
There are two types of taxes:
1) Direct Tax and
2) Indirect Tax
Tax, of which incidence and impact fall on the same person, is known as Direct
Tax, such as Income Tax.
On the other hand, tax, of which incidence and impact fall on two different
persons, is known as Indirect Tax, such as GST, etc.
It means, in the case of Direct Tax, tax is recovered directly from the assessee,
who ultimately bears such taxes, whereas in the case of Indirect Tax, tax is
recovered from the assessee, who passes such burden to another person & is
ultimately borne by consumers of such goods or services.
5. DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAX contd…
DIRECT TAX
❖ Incidence and impact fall on the same person
❖ Assessee, himself bears such taxes. Thus, it pinches the taxpayer.
❖ Levied on income
❖ E.g. Income Tax
❖ Progressive in nature i.e., higher tax are levied on person earning higher
income and vice versa.
6. INDIRECT TAX
❖ Incidence and impact fall on two different persons
❖ Tax is recovered from the assessee, who passes such burden to another person.
Thus, it does not pinch the taxpayer.
❖ Levied on goods and services. Thus, this type of tax leads to inflation and have
wider base.
❖ E.g. GST, Customs Duty, etc.
❖ Regressive in nature i.e., all persons will bear equal wrath of tax on goods or
service consumed by them irrespective of their ability.
❖ Useful tool to promote social welfare by checking the consumption of harmful
goods or sin goods through higher rate of tax.
