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 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.
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”.

2. There are two ways to express an action of a
subject in relation to its object:
• Active voice
• Passive voice
In ″active voice″ subject acts upon object, while
in ″passive voice″ object is acted upon by
subject, It can also be said, when doer of work is
the subject of the sentence that is called active
voice, but when the affected person or thing is
the subject of the sentence that sentence is
called passive voice.
3. The normal structure of an active voice sentence
is:
Subject + Verb + Object
But in passive the normal structure of sentence
is reversed according to certain rules and
becomes like:
Object + Verb + Subject
4. subject verb object
*Active: (a) Mary helped the boy.
subject verb
*Passive: (b) The boy was helped by Mary.
*In the passive, the object of an active verb becomes the
subject of the passive verb: the boy in (a) becomes the subject
of the passive verb in (b).
*Notice that the subject of an active verb follows by in a
passive sentence. The noun that follows by is called the
“agent." In (b): Mary is the agent.
*Sentences (a) and (b) have the same meaning.
5. *Passive: be + past participle
(c) He is helped by her.
He was helped by her.
He will be helped by her.
*Form of the passive: be + past participle
*Active: (d) An accident happened.
Passive: (e) (none)
*Only transitive verbs (verbs that can be followed by an
object) are used in the passive. It is not possible to use
intransitive verbs (such as happen, sleep, come, seem, die) in
the passive.
6. USING THE PASSIVE
▫ The active voice is mostly used in writing
because it gives a direct and more concise
meaning.
▫ Passive voice is used sometimes due to the
following reasons:
1- When intentionally hiding the subject of
sentence.
Ex: a student who failed in exam might say,
some chapters were not studied.
7. 2- When passive voice better explain thought of
sentence.
Ex: to say, cloth is sold in yards, is more
meaningful than to say, shopkeepers sell cloth in
yards.
3- When passive voice better emphasizes the
main though of the sentence.
Ex: A man who is being teased by another person
might say in anger ″ You will be beaten by me″
8. 4- When subject is not exactly known. (Usually
the passive is used without a by-phrase)
Ex: His watch was stolen.
9. Fundamental Rules for Changing from
Active Voice to Passive Voice.
● The places of subject and object are
interchanged i.e. the object shifts to the place
of subject and subject shifts to the place object
in passive voice.
Ex:
Active Voice Passive Voice
I write a letter. A letter is written by me.
10. ● Sometimes subject of sentence is not used in
passive voice, if without subject it can give enough
meaning in passive voice.
Ex: Cloth is sold in yards.
● Third form of verb (past participle) is always used
as main verb in sentences of passive voice for all
tenses. Base form of verb or present participle will
be never used in passive voice.
● The word ″ by″ is used before subject in sentences
in passive voice.
Ex:
Active Voice Passive Voice
He sings a song. A song is sung by him.
11. ● The word ″by″ is not always used before subject in
passive voice. Sometimes words ″with,to,etc″ may
also be used before subject in passive voice.
Ex:
● Auxiliary verbs are used passive voice according to
the tense of sentence.
Active Voice Passive Voice
The water fills the tub. The tub is filled with water.
He knows me. I am known to him.
12. When starting passive voice you need to know
some verbs:
1) Transitive verb
2) Intransitive verb
3) Transitive & Intransitive verb
13. 1) Transitive verb: Transitive verb is poor of object,
without object it doesn’t give clear and complete
meaning.
Ex:
He is eating——―—. (Incomplete)
He is eating an apple. (Complete)
2) Intransitive verb: Intransitive verb is not poor of object,
it gives clear and complete meaning without object.
Ex: The sun is shining.
3) Transitive & Intransitive verb: T & I verb is sometimes
poor of object and sometimes not poor of object,( It means
sometimes it gives clear and complete meaning without
object, and sometimes it does not give clear and complete
meaning without object.
14. 1- Transitive verb: Transitive verb changes from
active voice into passive voice because it has an
object.
Active voice Passive voice
He is eating an apple. An apple is being eaten by
him.
15. 2- Transitive & Intransitive verb: T &I verb
sometimes changes and sometimes it does not
change from active into passive. When it has an
object, it changes, when it does not have an
object, it does not change.
Active Voice Passive Voice
She is sweeping. No passive
She is sweeping the room. The room is being swept by
her.
16. 3- Intransitive verb: Intransitive verb does not
change from active voice into passive voice in
literary English because it does not have object.
Active Voice Passive Voice
He is dying. No passive
She is sleeping. No passive
He is running. No passive
17. Note: Intransitive verb can change from active
voice into passive voice in colloquial English.
Ex:
Active Voice Passive Voice
She is sleeping. The action of sleeping is
being done by her.
He is running. The action of running is
being done by him.
He is going. The action of going is being
done by him.
