South Asia is experiencing rapid urbanization, with five of its cities projected to be among the largest in the world by 2015. This growth is driven by rural-to-urban migration as people seek economic opportunities. However, many migrants end up living in slums lacking basic services. The region's megacities face challenges like sprawling slums, poverty, disease, pollution and lack of infrastructure. Dhaka has experienced extreme population growth and now has over 12 million residents, with many living in poor conditions. Other large and growing South Asian cities discussed are Mumbai, Delhi, and Karachi. Effective solutions are needed to manage urban growth and improve living standards in a sustainable manner.

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

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.
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.
1. Introduction:
South Asia is undergoing a rapid process of urbanization. In 1950 there was only one large city-
Kolkata, which was among the top ten cities in the world. In 2000 four of the largest 15 cities of
the world were situated in South Asia. By 2015 five of the largest cities will be from this region.
These cities have swollen up through migration from the countryside and many of these
migrants are poor. In the backdrop of massive wealth of these cities the poor lead a subhuman
life in slums or squatters, in its informal economy and in its underworld without shelter, safe
water or medicare and often jobs.
Definition of Mega city:
A megacity is generally defined as a metropolitan area with a total population in excess of 10
million people.A mega city can be a single metropolitan area or two or more metropolitan areas
that converge. The terms conurbation, metropolis and metroplex are also applied to the latter.
Changing pattern of mega city:
• In 1950s and 1960s the world’s largest cities were in developed countries
• In the 1970s, several Latin American megacities emerged
• From 1960 to 1990 a few developed world megacities, such as London, actually saw
population decline due to deindustrialisation and counter-urbanisation
• Since 1990 megacity growth has been centred on Asia, and especially India and China
since the turn of the millennium
• Africa has relatively few megacities although many African cities are growing rapidly
• In the 80s ‘megacity’ referred to cities of over 5 million
people.
• In the late 90s, the 8 million definition became common.
• Today 10 million is often used.

warming, urban heat islands, bio-connection.
5. geo-economic change:
• e.g. through economic globalisation, industrial competi-tion, activities of transnational
companies, new labour division, transformation processes
geo-social change:
• e.g. through (inter)national migration, empowerment of marginalised groups, urban
ethnicity, new urban epidemics, global life styles
geo-cultural change:
• e.g. through organisation of global places, globalised media, social movements, new
cultural diversity, transnational social scapes.
geo-political change:
• e.g. through conflicts and power (im)balances, globally acting NGO networks, human
rights movements, global regulation, security and stability
Causes of mega city in south Asia:
• High birth rates in less developed countries
• Migration of the rural poor into the city
• The countryside has no land left to farm
• City offers the possibility of jobs, schools, and a better way of life
o Industrialization
o Economic opportunity
o job opportunities
o Health services
o Education opportunities
o Higher quality of life
o Communication and transport
o Trade and commerce
o Higher security
6. South Asia mega city:
Dhaka:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is the city with the highest population growth in the world.
About 28% of the population is poor. Some 3.4 million live in slums. Close to one third don’t
have access to sanitation. Watch the challenges facing Dhaka as it population continues to
grow.With 12 million residents, Dhaka is the 11th
largest city in the world

10. Karachi, Pakistan
Urban Detail — After Pakistan won independence from the British and separated from India
Karachi’s population increased hugely as hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants from India
settled there, transforming its demographics and economy. (Source: Reuters)
Mumbai, India
Mumbai–called Bombay until the name was changed in 1995–is the commercial and movie
capital of India and has attracted millions of migrants from the countryside. With high birth rates
and the continued influx of migrants, Mumbai’s population is expected to grow rapidly in the
future.
Urban Detail — Over half of the city’s population lives in slums. Poor infrastructure and
widespread poverty make it very difficult to meet the demands of an ever-growing population.
(Source: Reuters)
Delhi, India
11. Delhi is India’s capital and recently overtook Mumbai as the biggest city by population size. It’s
a place of striking contrasts. Mosques, bazaars, and narrow lanes mark the old town. New Delhi,
the capital, features grand boulevards, business centers, and shopping malls.

Conclusion:
The diversity of megacities means that a challenge in one city can mean something different for another
city. Every city is unique, so solutions need to be tailored to fit. New urban-planning models are
required, and it is important for city leaders to find a balance between economic growth, environmental
considerations and quality of life.
