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”.

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.

2. Postcolonial studies
● Postcolonialism refers to a historical phase undergone
by Third World countries after the decline of
colonialism.
● Countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the
Caribbean separated from the European empire and
were left to rebuild themselves.
● Third World writes focus on both colonialism and the
changes created in a postcolonial culture.
● Postcolonial studies would seem to be a matter of
history and political science, rather than literary
criticism.
3. ● It is about human experience that has traditionally been
either silenced or marginalized by dominant groups or
discources.
● It is about how one’s national origin and race define one's
place and value in the eyes of the domint groups.
● It is also about geographic areas that have traditionally been
under the direct or indirect control of dominant World
powers.
● It is also about the resistances offered by these groups and the
challenges posed by them to the dominant group in realm of
representation.
● It focuses on the plight of the oppressed and recovers silenced
subaltern voices.
4. Continued…
● Postcolonial theory emerged in the US and UK academics in
the 1980s as part of a larger wave of new and politicized fields
of humanistic and critical race theory.
● Postcolonial theory is body of thought primarily concern with
accounting for the political, aesthetic, economic, historical,
and social impact of European colonial rule around the world
in the 18th through the 20th century.
● The prefix “post” of “postcolonial theory “ has been rigorously
debated, but it has never implied that colonialism has ended;
indeed much of postcolonial theory is concerned with the
lingering forms of colonial authority after the formal end of
Empire.
5. Thinker of Postcolonial studies
● Edward Said
●Frantz Fanon
●Homi K. Bhabha
●Chinua Achebe
●Salman Rushdie
6. Edward Said
● Said’s concept of orientation was an important
touchstone to postcolonial studies.
● He described the stereotypical discourse about East
as constructed by the West.
● Said sharply critiques the Western image of the
Oriental as “irrational, depraved, child-like,
‘different,’” which has to allowed the West to define
itself as “rational, virtuous, mature, ‘normal’ ”.
7. Frantz Fanon
● French Caribbean Marxist, drew upon his own horrific
experience in French Algeria to deconstruct emerging
national regimes that are based on inheritance from the
imperial powers, warning that class, not race, is a greater
factor in worldwide oppression, and that if new nations are
built in the molds of their former oppression, then they
will perpetuate the bourgeois inequalities from the past.
● The Wretched of the Earth has been an important
inspiration for postcolonial cultural critics and literary
critics Who seek to understand the decolonizing project
Third World writers.
8. Homi K. Bhabha
● Homi K. Bhabha is one of the most important figures in
contemporary postcolonial studies.
● Bhabha’s writing and their influence on postcolonial
theory, clearly introducing key concepts developed in his
work, such as :
● The stereotypes
● Mimicry
● Hybriditly
● The uncanny
● The nation
● Cultural rights
9. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
● Postcolonial feminist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak,
who examines the effects of political
Independence upon “subaltern” or subproletarian
women in the Third World.
● Spivak’s subaltern studies reveal how female
subjects are silenced by the dialogue between the
male-dominated West and the male -dominated
East, offering little hope for the subaltern
woman's voice to rise up amidst the global social
institutions that oppresse her.
