Gaius Julius Caesarwas a Roman general, statesman. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 Julius Caesar takes place in ancient Rome in 44 b.c., when Rome was the center of an empire stretching from Britain to North Africa and from Persia to Spain. Yet even as the empire grew stronger, so, too, did the force of the dangers threatening its existence: Rome suffered from constant infighting between ambitious military leaders and the far weaker senators to whom they supposedly owed allegiance. The empire also suffered from a sharp division between citizens, who were represented in the senate, and the increasingly underrepresented plebeian masses. A succession of men aspired to become the absolute ruler of Rome, but only Julius Caesar seemed likely to achieve this status. Those citizens who favored more democratic rule feared that Caesar’s power would lead to the enslavement of Roman citizens by one of their own. Therefore, a group of conspirators came together and assassinated Caesar. The assassination, however, failed to put an end to the power struggles dividing the empire, and civil war erupted shortly thereafter. The plot of Shakespeare’s play includes the events leading up to the assassination of Caesar as well as much of the subsequent war, in which the deaths of the leading conspirators constituted a sort of revenge for the assassination.Many feared that her death would plunge England into the kind of chaos that had plagued England during the fifteenth-century Wars of the Roses.There are over 80 different translations of his plays and poems. The number of translations of Shakespeare’s works all over the world is second only to the Bible.

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

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.
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.

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.

3. JULIUS CAESAR is the story of a man's personal dilemma
over moral action, set against a backdrop of strained
political drama. Julius Caesar, an able general and a
conqueror returns to Rome amidst immense popularity after
defeating the sons of Pompey.
The people celebrate his victorious return and Mark Antony
offers him the Crown which he refuses. Jealous of Caesar's
growing power and afraid he may one day become a
dictator, Cassius instigates a conspiracy to murder Caesar.
He realises that to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the
Romans, he must win over the noble Brutus to his side for
Brutus is the most trusted and respected in Rome. Brutus,
the idealist, joins the conspiracy feeling that everyone is
driven by motives as honourable as his own. Ironically,
Caesar is murdered at the foot of Pompey's statue.

all major languages. Scholars have
written thousands of books and
articles about his plots, characters,
themes, and language. He is the

8. SUMMARY OF THE PLAY
Julius Caesar is a highly successful but ambitious political
leader of Rome and his goal is to become an unassailable
dictator. Caesar is warned that he must "beware the Ides of
March" . The prophecy comes true and Caesar is
assassinated. Marcus Brutus is a well respected Roman
senator who helps plan and carry out Caesar's assassination
which he believes will rid Rome of a tyrant. Caesar's friend
Mark Antony provides the famous funeral oration ("Friends,
Romans, and countrymen…") Brutus and Cassius meet their
inevitable defeat. Brutus, the noble Roman, whose decision
to take part in the conspiracy for the sake of freedom,
plunges his country into civil war.
10. THEMES
Major Themes :-
The major theme of Julius Caesar is that misused power is a corruptive
force. This is seen in the fact that Caesar is a dictator suspected of
being tyrannous, that Cassius is so power hungry that he assassinates
Caesar, hoping to become more powerful himself, and that Antony,
Octavius, and Lepidus become a dictatorial and tyrannical
Triumvirate, worse than Caesar ever hinted at being.
Minor Themes :-
goodness of loyalty, honor, and friendship;
the evil of pride, conspiracy, and anarchy;
the logic of political order;
and the viability of republicanism as a form of government.
11. QUESTIONS FROM THE TEXT
1) Why are the tribunes Flavius and Marullus so upset at the opening of the
play?
Ans - The tribunes are angry that the working class citizens of Rome gather to
celebrate Caesar’s victory, while forgetting Pompey, the Roman hero (and a
part of the First Triumvirate that ruled Rome) who was killed in battle
alongside Caesar. Their hostility toward Caesar serves to introduce the deep
political divide that will become the central issue of the play.
2) What holiday are the Roman masses celebrating at the time of Caesar's
return?
Ans - Caesar's triumph coincides with the feast of Lupercal, which was
celebrated on February 15th. The festivities were in honour of Lupercus, the
god of nature (Pan in Greek mythology).
3) Describe Caesar's encounter with the soothsayer.
Ans - As Caesar passes through the crowd the soothsayer cries out to him,
warning him to "beware the ides of March." Caesar dismisses the soothsayer
as a dreamer and continues on. Caesar’s encounter with the soothsayer
foreshadows his assassination in the senate in 3.1. Note that in the ancient
Roman calendar the "ides" was the fifteenth day of March, May, July, and
October, and the thirteenth day of the other months. Gaius Julius Caesar was
assassinated on March 15, 44 BC.
12. 4) How does Portia prove she is worthy to hear the plans of her husband, Brutus?
Ans - Portia cuts herself in the thigh and suffers the pain of both the wound and the
infection it causes in silence. Her show of bravery and self-control convinces Brutus
she is "stronger than her sex" and he agrees to confide in her, only to be interrupted
before he has a chance.
5) What is the significance of Caesar's dying words, "Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!"?
Ans - The conspirators gather around Caesar and he sees his trusted friend Brutus
among them. Stunned that Brutus is among his assassins, Caesar cries out, "and you
too, Brutus?" This famous line is important because it sets Brutus apart from the other
conspirators. There is no doubt that Brutus's self-serving and ambitious accomplices
have committed an indefensible act, but with Caesar's final utterance we recognize
that the self-sacrificing and noble Brutus has perpetrated the same heinous crime –
his motivation is rendered immaterial. For this moment, Brutus the idealist becomes
Brutus the murderer.
6) How does Cassius die?
Ans - Cassius knows that he too will soon be captured by Antony and Octavius, and
will certainly be dragged through the streets of Rome in chains. He orders Pindarus to
hold his sword while he impales his chest on the blade.
13. 7) Cassius asks Brutus what he plans to do if they should lose the battle. What is
Brutus's response?
Ans - Brutus says that, since he finds the act of suicide cowardly and vile, he will have
little choice but to be patient and yield to whatever fate dictates . He adds that he will
never return to Rome as a prisoner. That Brutus nevertheless dies by his own hand at
the end of the play adds to his tragedy.
8) After an ominous dream, Calpurnia begs Caesar to stay away from the senate and,
at first, he agrees. What changes his mind?
Ans - Decius, a conspirator whose role it is to guarantee Caesar is in the Capitol that
day, favourably interprets Calpurnia's dream and then chides Caesar for yielding to his
wife's whims. Decius adds that the senate is planning again to offer Caesar a crown,
and Caesar gives in to vanity. He leaves Calpurnia and accompanies Decius to the
Capitol.
9) Explain the significance of Antony's final speech, beginning with the line, "This
was the noblest Roman of them all".
Ans - Antony's speech serves to restore Brutus to the position of tragic hero. Antony
can see in Brutus the morality he does not himself possess - the capability to act
selflessly for the common good. Brutus's pride and political naivety have led to his
destruction, but his ideals are etched into the memory of his enemies.
