Discuss the role of media in election. What are the laws of election in Bangl...Md. Sajjat Hossain
The media are essential to democracy, and a democratic election is impossible without media. A free and fair election is not only about the freedom to vote and the knowledge of how to cast a vote, but also about a participatory process where voters engage in public debate and have adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process itself in order to make informed choices. Furthermore, media acts as a crucial watchdog to democratic elections, safeguarding the transparency of the process. Indeed, a democratic election with no media freedom, or stifled media freedom, would be a contradiction.

Hello readers, today we will take you to the Colourful and Mesmerising World of Goopi Gawaiya Bagha Bajaiya an animated film directed by Shilpa Ranada.
Based on story of Upendra Kishore Roychowdhury, the film is inspired from Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne directed by the great maestro Satyajit Ray.
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.

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.

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

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.

PK Character List:-
Aamir Khan as PK: The titular character was written to be a Chaplinesque, bumbling
alien and meant to provide an outside view to the quirks and hypocrisies of the Indian
society. To further accentuate the alien look, Khan developed a distinct appearance and
mannerisms including wearing green contact lenses and not blinking while talking. Khan
also learned Bhojpuri for the rolewith the help of the language expert Shanti Bhushan.
Rajkumar Hirani said in an interview, “When we write a script we usually visualise the
characters in the film. How they look, talk and walk. But PK is one such character which was
very difficult to visualize. We didn’t have a reference point. PK was one such character, who
didn’t have a reference point.
Anushka Sharma as Jagat 'Jaggu' Janani Sahni: PK's friend and confidante,
'Jaggu' is a television news reporter and is instrumental in spreading PK's message. She was
envisioned as a fun-loving yet mature and independent woman. The producers wanted a
distinct look for Jaggu and ended up trying several options over few days before settling on
one. Anushka said in an interview “Raju Sir wanted me to look happy, chirpy and peppy in
‘PK’. Keeping his brief in mind, the team came up with this look,” she also reveals she was
not required to cut her hair to get the look. “I have long hair, so hair stylists just wrapped
my hair and tucked inside the wig”.
Sushant Singh Rajput as Sarfaraz Yousaf: The love of jaggus life . He is the
another hero in this film. First time he saw jaggu in the urope. Then he fell in love with jaggu.
Boman Irani as Cherry Bajwa: He is the derocter in a tv channel. He is also a
main part in this film. He inspare jaggu to prove the folt of grwmasan .

vellen in this pk film .

“Synopsis of the movie= PK
A humanoid alien (Aamir Khan) lands on Earth naked on a research mission in Rajasthan, but is stranded
when the remote control of his spaceship is stolen. He manages to get the thief's cassette recorder, a
Panasonic RQ-565D. On the same day in Bruges, Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) meets Sarfaraz (Sushant
Singh Rajput) and falls in love with him. Jaggu's father (Parikshit Sahni) objects to their relationship
because Sarfaraz is a Pakistani Muslim, while Jaggu is a Hindu. He consults godman Tapasvi Maharaj
(Saurabh Shukla) who predicts that Sarfaraz will betray Jaggu. Determined to prove them wrong, Jaggu
proposes to Sarfaraz, who accepts. She is heartbroken at the wedding chapel when she receives a letter
calling off the marriage due to their cultural differences.Jaggu returns to India and becomes a TV reporter.
She meets the alien and is intrigued to see him distribute leaflets about the "missing" Gods. She saves him
4. when he attempts to take money from a collection box, earning his trust. The alien tells her that he is a
research scientist from another planet. His people know nothing about dressing, religion or verbal
communicThey transfer ideas by holding hands. The alien learned to fit in among humans by wearing
clothes and using money stolen from couples having sex in "dancing cars".After being accidentally hit by
a truck, the alien is befriended by bandmaster Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt), who takes him along with his
troop. The alien attempts to learn to communicate by grabbing peoples' hands but people chase him away,
believing him to be a pervert. Bhairon takes him to a brothel, where the alien holds a prostitute's (Reema
Debnath) hand for six hours and thus learns the Bhojpuri language.Bhairon has a conversation with the
alien, and suggests that the thief may be in Delhi. The alien leaves for Delhi. Due to his strange behavior,
the people assume he is drunk and call him "PK" (pee-kay, Hindi for "drunk"). People tell him that only
"God" can help him find his remote. PK sincerely practices every Indian religion attempting to find
"God", to no avail. He later discovers that Tapasvi has his remote, who claims it was a gift from God, and
refuses to return the remote. Jaggu promises PK that she will recover his remote and he can go back
home.
Tapasvi decides to confront PK on-air. Tapasvi asks PK what the "right number" is. PK says that "God
that created us all" is the only concept people should believe in, and that the other "duplicate Gods" are
created by man. Tapasvi argues, saying that PK is trying to take people away from their Gods and that
they will not stand for their Gods being taken away from them either. He claims he has a direct
connection to God and refers to his prediction of Sarfaraz's betrayal to try to prove that Muslims are liars,
but PK disagrees. PK realises that Sarfaraz did not write the letter. Jaggu contacts the Pakistani Embassy
in Belgium where Sarfaraz worked part-time. The embassy tells her that Sarfaraz still loves her, and
transfers the line to Sarfaraz, who is now living in Lahore. Jaggu and Sarfaraz reconnect, and Tapasvi is
forced to return PK's remote, while also being exposed to the whole of India that he had planned to break
Jaggu and Sarfaraz through his "predictions".Meanwhile, PK has fallen in love with Jaggu, but refrains
from telling her because she loves Sarfaraz. Having filled multiple audio tapes with her voice alone, he
takes two suitcases full of tapes and extra batteries when leaving for home. After his departure, Jaggu
publishes a book about him.
One year later, PK returns to Earth on a new research mission on human nature along with several other
aliens (including one played by Ranbir Kapoor).of shutting down the camp as the Allied forces
approach, he tells his son to stay in a box until everybody has left, this being the final
competition before the tank is his. Guido goes to find Dora, but while he is out he is
caught by a German soldier. An officer makes the decision to execute Guido, who is led
off by the soldier. While he is walking to his death, Guido passes by Giosuè one last time,
still in character and playing the game. He winks at Giosuè and Giosuè winks back as
Guido is led away to be shot. The next morning, Giosuè emerges from the sweat-box, just
as a U.S. Army unit led by a Sherman tank arrives and the camp is liberated. The
prisoners travel to safety, accompanied by the Americans. Giosuè soon spots Dora in the
procession leaving the camp and are reunited. Later, as a man, Giosuè realizes his father's
story of sacrifice for his family.

PK is an Alien who visits earth to understand about
its 'intelligent' inhabitants, but the very first lesson
is a painful one when the remote control of his
spaceship is stolen. Hence he now faces myriads of
problem in a planet where he is alone unaware and
can't even speak its language. But he is helped by a
noble soul named Bhairon Singh and hence his
search takes him from Rajasthan to Delhi. Here he
learns that his remote control can only be returned
to him by the heavenly intervention and from here
on his tangle with the 'organized religion' starts as
he tries various religious solutions but when all of
them fails he not only criticizes them as a tool used by the 'managers' of religion to exploit the helpless
but also seek refund and in the end redefines religion as something which is Rational , Compassionate
and Humane , Not the Superstitious , Hateful, and Heartless one currently propagated to the masses
which he calls as the 'Wrong Number'.

My opinion:-
-
The first time I saw the movie was when I was about eighteen or so, and I never forgot it. The incredibly human characters pk
the fantastic script-writing, the amazing acting, and of course the heartwarming story. This movie proves once and for all how
strong we are, as humans, that in the face of adversity we can make the best of things. It’s a very nice film. The film pk is said
that there are many gods of manager but they all are forde. Gods have no manager. He heras all the peoples. So god is only one.
7. And the most important think is that if we work for our people we can made a good society in this world. Pk is a very good, nice
and interesting film that I was seen.
