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.

5. Medicinal use
The pyrethrins are a class of organic
compounds normally derived from Chrysanthemum
cinerariifolium that have potent insecticidal activity
by targeting the nervous systems of insects. Pyrethrin
is synthetically made by industrial methods, but it
also naturally occurs in chrysanthemum flowers, thus
is often considered an organic insecticide, or at least
when it is not combined with piperonyl butoxide or
other synthetic adjuvants. Their insecticidal and
insect-repellent properties have been known and used
for thousands of years.
6. What are pyrethrins-
Pyrethrins are pesticides found naturally in some
chrysanthemum flowers. They are a mixture of six
chemicals that are toxic to insects. Pyrethrins are
commonly used to control mosquitoes, fleas, flies,
moths, ants, and many other pests.
How do pyrethrins work
Pyrethrins excite the nervous system of insects
that touch or eat it. This quickly leads to
paralysis and ultimately their death. Pyrethrins
are often mixed with another chemical to
increase their effect. This second chemical is
known as a synergist.

8. Origin and distribution-
C. cinerariaefolium is a native of Dalmatia,
Herzegovina and Montenegro and is cultivated
on a commercial scale in Algeria, Yugoslavia
(Dalmatia), Brazil, Bulgaria, Japan, Kenya,
New Guinea, Congo, Tanzania, Ecuador,
Australia, USA, China, France, Italy, Persia,
Russia, Spain, Switzerland, England and India.
o Kenya and its neighbours Tanzania and
Rwanda produce over 80% of the total
pyrethrum produced in the world.
9. Types and varieties-
C. cinerariaefolium, grown on the Eastern Coast of
the Adriatic sea, is called Dalmatian pyrethrum.
While, the Japanese pyrethrum also derived from C.
cinerariaefium, is similar to the Dalmatian pyrethrum
in appearance. The concentration of active principles
(pyrethrin) in the Dalmatian and Japanese type of
pyrethrum flowers range from 0.38 to 0.58 and 0.58
to 1.21%, respectively. The pyrethrum grown in
Kenya and other African countries, known as the
Kenya pyrethrum, has a higher pyrethrin content of
1.43 to 1.89%.
10. Soil-
Pyrethrum thrives best on well-drained,
sandy soil. Red laterite loams and light and
medium loam soils are also suitable. The
yields are considerably lower in poorly-
drained soils. It can grow on mountain slopes
and wastelands, but too rich soils and water-
logged conditions are unfavourable for its
growth.
11. Climate-
Pyrethrum is a temperate crop. It grows best in areas
which have a mild, cool, dry climate with a short,
mild winter and a cool summer. A period of chilling,
in which the temperature falls below 17° C, for
about six weeks, is necessary for flower-bud
initiation. In places where the winters are long
(November to March) and the summers are warm,
there is only one flush of flowering in May and
June. It grows well in places where the annual
average rainfall is about 1000 mm and the elevation
between 1500 to 2400 m.
12. Propagation-
Pyrethrum is propagated by seeds. However, it can
also be raised vegetative by splits. The seeds
required for sowing should be gathered from
selected plants when the flowers are fully mature
and the seeds are about to be shed. The seeds tend
to lose viability on storage. In case of vegetative
propagation, healthy plants are pulled up from the
ground, the splits of which are used for planting. In
certain areas it is better to plant the splits in
nurseries before they are planted in the main field.
13. Planting-
The seedlings are planted at a distance
of 27-45 cm in rows and 45-60 cm
apart. Ridge-planting is preferred to
flat-planting as it facilitates inter
culture and irrigation and avoids
water-logging.
14. Manures and fertilizers-
Application of 40-60 kg N, 40-50 kg/ha
P and 50-80 kg/ha K is optimum for the
good growth of pyrethrum in the first
year. The entire quantity of P and K
should be applied as a basal dose with
50% of the N at the time of planting and
the remaining 50% of N is applied in
split doses.
15. Irrigation-
Pyrethrum does not need irrigation if the
rainfall is well distributed. However, under
irrigated conditions, weekly irrigation during
the peak season gives better results. Under
irrigated conditions, it is observed that the
pyrethrum plants start flowering after 1 year
instead of 2 years under un-irrigated
conditions. The crop should be irrigated
frequently during the dry months. The crop
should also be irrigated after the fertilizer
application.
16. Pests and diseases-
Root-rot - caused by Fusarium solani, can be
controlled by drenching the nursery with 0.15%
Benlate solution or Mancozeb.
Damping-off - is caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
The application of a solution of copper fungicide to
the base of the plants can control this disease.
Bud disease - is reported to be caused by Rannularia
belluniensis and this can be controlled by spraying
Bordeaux mixture and pereneox.
17. Harvesting and processing-
The plants flower within one year of
transplanting.
The crop gives a poor yield in the first year
and the optimum yields are obtained only
during the 2nd and 3rd year.
The flowers should be picked when ⅔rd of
the disc-florets are pen and the ray-florets are
horizontal.
The harvesting of immature or over-mature
flowers decreases their pyrethrin content.
18. Drying-
The harvested flower-heads are usually dried immediately
in the sun.
They are thinly spread on straw mats and turned over
frequently in order to avoid fermentation. At night they are
kept under cover.
Dehydration is complete in 5-7 days. The ideal method of
drying is to use hot-air driers, in which the temperature
should not exceed 800C.
The loss in weight will be about 65-75%. It is safer to dry
it in the sun when the acreage is small and there is no chance
of rain during the harvesting season.
However, in larger farms, the use of air-driers is essential
in order to dry the harvested flowers in time. Mechanical
driers have been designed for drying pyrethrum flowers.
19. Yield and pyrethrin content-
The average annual yield in Kashmir is
about 250 kg/ha, against 700 kg/ha in
Kenya and 500 kg/ha in Nilgiris.
The yield in the first year, as reported
from Kodaikanal, is about 450 kg/ha.
The total pyrethrin content is reported to
be 1.0-1.5% in India, while the average
content in Kenya is 1.4% and the highest is
2.1%.
