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.

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.
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.

KIDNEYKIDNEY
The kidneys are a vital part of the body. Their main function is to
remove waste products from the blood, which are passed out of the
body in urine. There are about a million tiny filters in each kidney
called Glomeruli. If these filtering units get inflamed (swollen) for
some reason this is called Glomerulonephritis (GN).
Glomerulonephritis is a non-specific disorder in which the kidneys are
damaged, causing them to leak large amounts of protein from the
blood into the urine.

NEPHROTIC SYNDROMENEPHROTIC SYNDROME
The syndrome is characterized by:
Heavy proteinuria
Hypoalbuminemia
Edema
Hypercholesterolemia
Age:
In Children- 15 times more common in children than in adults. Most
common form is minimal-change disease.
In adults- The most common form is membranous glomerulonephritis,
followed by FSGS.
77. 77
COMMON FEATURES OF NEPHROTICCOMMON FEATURES OF NEPHROTIC
SYNDROMESYNDROME
Increasing edema more on face and lower extremities over
a few days or weeks.
An increase in weight, the development of an ascetic or
pleural effusion, and a decline in urine output.
Hematuria and hypertension are unusual but manifest in a
minority of patients.
78. 78
DIAGNOSIS OF NEPHROTIC SYNDROMEDIAGNOSIS OF NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Nephrotic range proteinuria > 1 gm/24 hrs. in urine
Urine Albumin/Creatinine ration = > 3.5
Serum Albumin < 2.5 gm/dl
Serum Cholesterol > 200 mg/ dl
Serum C3 and C4 levels
Serum IgM, IgG and IgA levels
Kidney biopsy-Indicated in case of non-responders
79. 79
COURSE OF DISEASECOURSE OF DISEASE
1. Urinary remission: Urine is free from albumin for consecutive 3 days
2. Complete remission: Serum albumin increases equal or > 2.5 gm/dl
3. Relapse: Albumin +++ in urine for consecutive 3 days, with or without
oedema
4. Frequent Relapse: 2 or more relapses with in 6 months of initial response
5. Steroid dependant: 2 consecutive relapses whilst tapering Prednisolone or
with in 14 days of stopping Prednisolone
6. Resistant or non responder: No remission during 8 weeks of Prednisolone
treatment initially or subsequently during the course of nephritic
syndrome

Usually good in children but 20-30% cases do not respond
to treatment.
Patients with membranes glomerulonephritis, focal
segmental glomerulosclerosis frequently lead to end stage
renal disease.
Factors associated with poorer prognosis are uncontrolled -
Proteinuria, blood pressure control and kidney function
(GFR).

AYURVEDA THERAPYAYURVEDA THERAPY
FOR NEPHROTIC SYNDROMEFOR NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
This is a useful therapy in cases of nephrotic syndrome and also in
cases where other treatment fails in kidney disease. This therapy is a
combination of allopathic drugs and herbal drugs/nutritional
supplement. The recommendation of the treatment combination
depends on the condition of patient. With this therapy usually the
albumin in urine stops coming with in 30-45 days and other symptoms
e.g. edema disappears gradually. The serum cholesterol comes to
normal in 120-180 days. This therapy is free from any side effects.

Home Remedies for Nephritis
• 8 - 9 bananas in daily diet for 3 - 4 days can serve as remedies for
nephritis.
• Carrot juice acts effective in nephritis when it is taken with honey and
fresh lime juice early in the morning.
• Triphala powder or aqueous extract can be used in nephritic conditions.
• Avocados are effective remedies as they contain minerals and protein
for nephritis.
• Tender coconut is very effective in the treatment of nephritis as it acts
as a safe diuretic.
• 1 tumbler of radish juice for 2 - 3 times a day can serve as promising
diuretic in nephritic conditions.
• Grapes are useful for treating nephritis as it acts as a good diuretic.
• Consuming vegetable juices for 7 - 10 days in nephritic condition
causes removal of toxic substance from body.
