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”.

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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities.

This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. WHAT IS ATAX?
Tax is a fee charged by a government on a product,
income or activity.
There are two types of taxes . Direct taxes and indirect
taxes.
4. WHY ARETAXES LEVIED?
• The reason for levy of taxes is that they
constitute the basic source of revenue to the
government.
• Revenue so raised is utilised for meeting the
expenses of government like defence,
provision of education, health-care,
infrastructure facilities like roads, dams etc.
5. OVERVIEW OF INCOME-TAX LAW
IN INDIA
Income-tax is the most significant direct tax. The income-tax law
in India consists of the following components.
• Income Tax Act, 1961
• Annual Finance Acts
• Income Tax Rules, 1962
• Circulars/Notifications
• Legal decisions of Courts
6. Income tax Act, 1961
The levy of income-tax in India is governed by the Income-tax Act,
1961.
This Act came into force on 1st April, 1962.
The Act contains 298 sections and XIV schedules.
These undergo change every year with additions and deletions
brought about by the Finance Act passed by Parliament.
In pursuance of the power given by the Income-tax Act, rules have
been framed to facilitate proper administration of the Income-tax
Act.
7. Annual Finance Act
Every year, the Finance Minister of the Government of India presents
the Budget to the Parliament.
Part A of the budget speech contains the proposed policies of the
Government in fiscal areas.
Part B of the budget speech contains the detailed tax proposals.
In order to implement the above proposals, the Finance Bill is
introduced in the Parliament.
Once the Finance Bill is approved by the Parliament and gets the
assent of the President, it becomes the Finance Act.
8. Income tax Rules, 1962
The administration of direct taxes is looked after by the
Central Board of DirectTaxes (CBDT).
The CBDT is empowered to make rules for carrying out the
purposes of the Act.
For the proper administration of the Income-tax Act, the
CBDT frames rules from time to time.These rules are
collectively called Income-tax Rules, 1962. It is important
to keep in mind that along with the Income-tax Act, these
rules should also be studied.
9. Circulars and Notifications
Circulars are issued by the Central Board DirectTaxes (CBDT) from
time to time to deal with certain specific problems and to clarify
doubts regarding the scope and meaning of the provisions.
These circulars are issued for the guidance of the officers and/or
assessees.
The department is bound by the circulars. While such circulars are not
binding the assessees they can take advantage of beneficial circulars.
10. Case Laws
The study of case laws is an important and unavoidable part
of the study of income-tax law.
It is not possible for Parliament to conceive and provide for
all possible issues that may arise in the implementation of
any Act. Hence the judiciary will hear the disputes between
the assessees and the department and give decisions on
various issues.
The Supreme Court is the Apex Court of the country and the
law laid down by the Supreme Court is the law of the land.
The decisions given by various High Courts will apply in the
respective states in which such High Courts have jurisdiction.
11. INCOMETAX ACT, 1961

Applies to the whole of India including Jammu
&Kashmir
12. BASIS OF CHARGEOF INCOMETAX
