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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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”.

⮚ In Madhya Pradesh, tribal bards tell a tale of a young woman
named X. She yearned to be loved, but she was so ugly that no
man wanted to marry her. X’s father offered everything he
owned as a dowry for the man who would take away his
daughter’s unhappiness, but even the promise of wealth was not
enough to convince any man to be her husband.
⮚ X became so consumed with her loneliness and misery that she
died of a broken heart. Once she was dead, the gods took pity on
her, for it was them who had cursed her with such ugliness. To

⮚ X is defined by ancient Indian scholar Shabara as, "that

Y won Best Documentary Award at Santa Barbara International Film Festival;
Audience Award for Best Documentary at Adelaide International Film Festival
and Brisbane International Film Festival.
In one of the interviews, Megan Doneman (the director and the co-producer
of Y) said: “I wanted to make a feature film, as X’s story is incredibly epic, but
I knew no one was going to fund a 23-year-old woman who had never
directed a feature film. I saw the astonishing documentary Hoop Dreams,
and it thoroughly inspired me to tackle X’s story within the feature
documentary medium- as well as the questions: what drives a person to go
against the status quo, to continually stand in the face of enormous
opposition without ever backing down, and all the while bearing the huge

season curries, rice and sweet confections.
⮚ It was also found in Tutankamun's tomb.
⮚ It's a remedy for everything from headaches and congestion to
infections. They are commonly used to treat intestinal worms and
are said to relieve digestive trouble. It contains a variety of

❑ Philadelphia Hancock was the sister of X’s father.
❑ Philadelphia came to India and married Tysoe Hancock(who worked for EIC)
and had a daughter in the year 1761 whom she named Eliza.
❑ However Eliza has been believed by many to be the natural child not of
Tysoe but of her godfather Y. Robert Clive,at the time, wrote to his wife,
saying Mrs Hancock “abandoned herself to Y” urging his wife not to keep
company to Philadelphia.
❑ According to one of the X’s biographer, “Y gave Eliza,a massive inheritance
of 10,000 pounds in the form of a trust fund.....,Eliza married X’s brother
Henry,…… Henry had control of the inheritance from Y – an inheritance that
came from Y’s work for the East India Company. Henry is the family member
who negotiated with publishers on X’s behalf, signed contracts in X’s name,
and promoted X’s works. Without Henry we might not have heard of X. In
my opinion this is a very tenuous connection, but it certainly gives one
pause.”

Hi, my name is X,
And making me is not at all complex.
My soul is as old as Krishna- Sudama,
I am known to almost every Indian Mumma.
I believe in 'Sabka swaad, mere saath' ,
I am common enough to be found on footpath.
A song in ' Sanai Choughade' has my name,
Being super quick and healthy, is my 'claim to fame'.
In Dec, my special someone went missing,
Making me incomplete and unappealing.
Don't worry, for my love-story can never end,
If you know, say my name, my friend.
