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. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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”.

•The Park is 40km long by 13km wide. It lies in the
flood plain of the Brahmaputra River, sloping very
gradually from east to west against a backdrop of the
foothills and snow-covered peaks of the eastern
Himalayas.
• The riverine habitat consists primarily of dense tall
grassland interspersed with open forests,
interconnecting streams and numerous small flood-
formed lakes or bheels which cover some 5% of its
area.
• The whole park is occasionally flooded for 5-10 days,
and three-quarters of the western, Baguri, area is
annually submerged. The soils are alluvial. The
wetlands are described by Scott.
5. Cultural heritage,tribes,and visitors
•Mikir tribesmen live in the neighbouring Karbi-Anglang hills to the south.
•There are no villages inside the national park but it is densely bordered on three
sides by human settlements and tea plantations.
• There are 39 villages within a 10km radius of the park, with an estimated
population of 22,300 people in 1983-1984, most of them very poor subsistence
farmers tempted by poverty to fish and poach wildlife in the Park
Visitors
•The interior of the Park is accessible outside the flood season (May to October),
mostly on elephant-back, by 4WD vehicles or seen from watchtowers.

rhinoceros (unicornis), the Kaziranga
National Park, Assam is unique among
Indian wildlife habitats.
•Situated about 217 km from
Guwahati, capital of Assam, the
world’s largest population of
rhinoceros lives here.
•Although there are other animals and
birds too but the concentration is more on
the protection of this animal. In fact,
Kaziranga can also be described as an
oasis for wildlife.
10. HISTORY
•On January 28, 1913,, the area of
reserved forest was expanded and
Kaziranga was declared a "Game
Sanctuary" on November 10, 1938
•. The then conservator of forests, AJW
Milroy, stopped all poaching and Entrance gate Kaziranga National Park
opened Kaziranga to tourists.
•However, in 1950 the name was
changed to "wildlife sanctuary" as the
word "game" connotated animals for
hunting.
•On February 11, 1974. It was declared
"Kaziranga National Park. It was listed a
world heritage site in 1985
11. HISTORY
•The entire area around Kaziranga was very thinly populated and
permanently settled villagers existed only at Bokakhat and
towards its east on one side and Jakhlabanda and westwards on
the other side.
•The area intervening these two places was full of wild animals in
the adjoining forests of the Karbi Anglong Hills and the grassland
of Kaziranga, which formed one single unit of the ideal wildlife
habitat.
•Before the turn of the present century the area was gradually
opened up for human settlement and the forests covering the
gentle slope of the Hills were cleared for tea cultivation in the
entire area from Bokakhat to Jakhlabanda. Along with the
destruction of the habitat of the animals by human settlers and
the early tea planters went on at an alarming rate. The animals
were probably forced to seek shelter in the remote hills and the
riverine grass jungles.
12. KAZIRANGA NATIONAL PARK
•Kaziranga National Park in Assam
India, is best-known as the home of the
Indian Rhinoceros, declared a World
Heritage Site, by UNESCO in 1985,
•Spread over an area of 430 sq km,
the park is bounded by the mighty
Brahmaputra on the north and
verdant, hills of Karbi Anglong on
the south
The park has no boundary wall and a
rough oval shape. its south side
boundary follows (for the most part)
the Mori Diffaloo river is close and to
National Highway No. 37, the main
arterial highway in Assam.
13. Of the world natural heritage sites, five such sites
are in India. Out of these five, two such sites are in
Assam. They are the Kaziranga National Park and
the Manas Tiger Project, for the protection of tigers
The world’s largest population of one-
horned rhinoceros (70 per cent). Wild
buffalo (50 per cent) and swamp deer (65
per cent) are in the Kaziranga National
Park.
There were 1164 Indian one-horned rhinoceros and
1034 Asiatic wild buffalo in the park in 1993. The figure
of the rhino in 1999 was of 1200. The number of
elephant was 982 and tigers 804 in 1997. There were
526 swamp deer in 1993.
14. There are four types of vegetation:
Tropical wet evergreen forest
Tropical deciduous forest
Grasslands
Swamp areas(beel)
(Tall grasses 41%, short grasses 11%, open jungle
29%, rivers and water bodies 8%, sand 6% and
swamps 4%)
21. Prolific birdlife - Kaziranga National Park
Kaziranga National Park protects as many as 325 avian species. Often the
solitude of the forest is interrupted by the musical notes of the Hill Myna in the
distant valleys and hills. Resident birds include Bengal Florican and the Adjutant
Stork, while other prominent species are the Fishing and Crested Eagle, Sultan
Tit, Collared Bush Chat, White-capped Redstart, Yellow and Pied Wagtail, Indian
Lorikeet, Red-Breasted Parakeet, Spotted Forktail and Blue Thrush. Among the
many water birds are large Cormorant, Lesser Whistling Teal, Bar-headed Goose,
Merganser and Comb Duck.
22. Haven for herbivores - Kaziranga National Park
Kaziranga is a vast wildlife refuge, and sustains large numbers of herbivores.
One species is the Asiatic Wild Buffalo, or Water Buffalo(Bubalus bubalis). The
latter species is quite temperamental and often charges unprovoked. There are
around 40 Indian Bison and many species of the deer family, including Hog Deer,
Sambhar and Chital (Spotted Deer). The Soft ground Barasingha is one of
Kaziranga's most highly endangered deer species (it is also present in
Dudhwa National Park and the park's monsoon-fed waterlogged terrain proves a
most suitable habitat since it hooves are specially adapted to this environment.
The elusive Mouse Deer is also a threatened species.
Finally, nearly 50 Bengal Tiger ad a reasonable population of Leopard (Panther)
survive in Kaziranga's jungles. Visitors who are patient are sure to have a chance
at seeing Tiger in the forests.
23.
24. Type of RhinosThere are five kinds of Rhinos found in the world –
white rhino,
black rhino,
Indian rhino,
Javan rhino, and
Sumatran rhino.
29. RHINOSORUS OF THE PARK
•The white and black Rhinos are live in Africa,
while Indian, Javan and Sumatran are Asian Rhinos, found in North Pakistan,
Assam in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh
•The usual weight of an Indian Rhino is 2,000 kg. The one way to distinguish
between a an Indian Rhino and an African Rhino is the single horn. Both white
and black African Rhinos have two horns. Another distinguishing feature of the
Indian Rhinoceros is its skin, which is knobbly and falls into deep folds at its
joints, giving a look like the Rhino is wearing a coat of armour.
•All the Rhinos are vegetarian and Indian Rhinos mostly eat grass, fruits,
leaves and crops. Their well developed upper lip helps them to eat out tall
elephant grasses, which they like the best. It also helps them to pull out aquatic
plants by the roots. Indian Rhinos usually prefer to roam around in the morning
and evening hours to avoid the heat of the day and live for about 40 years.
30. RHINOS BEING KILLED FOR GAMES AND SKIN
•Despite the increase in numbers, during the past century more than 700 rhinos
have been killed by poachers in Kaziranga.
• It's only in the past decade that poaching has really been brought under
control (from 40 rhinos killed per year in 1995 to just seven in 2005).
•However, it is still a serious problem. In just two months this year (March and
April), a total of six rhinos were killed in a renewed poaching spree.
•Kaziranga's rhino population was probably at an all-time low of about a dozen
individuals in 1905. The first proper census was carried out in 1966, when there
were estimated to be 366. The numbers have increased five-fold since then to
1,855 - a major achievement
•In 1970 there were an estimated 70,000 rhinos. Today, that number has fallen
to an estimated 10-12,000, a staggering 85% decrease.
•Recent unrest in Nepal has probably reduced rhino numbers from 800 to
between 400/500 animals.
•India holds the remaining estimated population of 2,084 with approximately
1,855 in Kaziranga National Park, ¾ of the world's entire population.
31. BIRDS AND AQUATICS
Kaziranga National Park has more than 483 species of the birds. 18 of them are
globally threatened species. Because of the varied habitat types that the Park
comprises off as also of the strict protection accorded to them, birding is very
special in Kaziranga.
The Eastern range is very special for water birds such as Falcated Teals, White
Eyed Pochard and Spot billed pelican. For Grass land birds the Western range
is ideal. The Bengal Florican can be seen during the Elephant ride in this range.
The nearby Panbari Reserved Forest is good for primates such as Hoollock
Gibbon and Capped Langur and also woodland birds such asYellow-vented
Warbler, Great Hornbill, Dark necked Tailorbird, Grey-bellied and Slaty-
bellied Tesias.
33. OTHER SPECIES AT PARK
•Apart from being the home of the one-horned rhino, Kaziranga is
also the natural habitat of wild buffaloes, Asiatic Elephant, Indian
Bison, wild boars, barasingha (Eastern swamp deer), leopards, tigers,
Jackal, hoollock gibbons, capped langur, rock python, and monitor
lizards. Although tigers inhabit this park, it is quite difficult to sight
one.
