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.
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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Elements of Realistic Fiction
Realistic fiction is simply stated as real kids with real
problems solved in a realistic manner in a real world
setting. If a story is excellent, it has more than one great
characteristic. Therefore, realistic stories can and often
do have humor, a sense of adventure, perhaps even
danger.
Real kids
Real problems
Real settings
Real solutions
Real humor
Real adventure or danger
3. Characteristics of the Best Realistic
Fiction
Characters are engaging and believable.
Dialogue is believable
Plot is fresh and original
Setting is true to life
Problems faced by the characters are honestly portrayed
Resolution makes sense
Theme grows naturally out of the action and characters
Writer does not preach at us
4. Elements of Realistic Fiction
Introduction
is where the author builds the story’s background. This is
where the reader learns about the setting, the
characters, and the story’s conflict, and perhaps what
took place before the story begins.
Setting
is where and when the story takes place:
location, season, weather, and time period. Setting is
important to the plot, the characters, the characters’
problems, and the theme.
5. Characterization and Conflict
Characterization
allows the reader to learn about what characters look
like, what they say, what others say about them, and
what they do (Lukens, 1999). Characters seem real
because their actions and dialogue are believable. As
readers, we often can identify with these characters
because they are like our friends or ourselves.
Conflict
in realistic fiction is defined by the type of problem in the
story. Conflict is the tension that exists between the
forces in the character’s life.
6. Plot and Theme
Plot
is what happens in the story. The plot in realistic
fiction must be believable or possible and easily
understood, fast-paced and moving toward
resolving the conflict.
Theme
is the idea that holds the story together,…the
central meaning of a piece of writing
7. Point of View
Point of view
is the perspective of the storyteller.
When a story is written from the first-person point of
view, the main character usually tells the story and
uses the word “I”
When a story is written from the third-person point of
view, the person telling the story is a central observer
who knows all (omniscient) and can recount details,
actions, thoughts, and feelings of the characters
8. Imagery
Imagery
refers to the author’s choice of descriptive words and
phrases that help readers form a mental picture of
settings, characters, and events, thus keeping readers
fully involved in the story.
Figurative language,
including similes and metaphors, is used in realistic
fiction to enhance imagery. Similes are comparisons
that make use of “like” or “as.” A metaphor compares
two unlike things directly without using like or as.
9. Tone
Author’s intent or tone
relates to how the author wants readers to feel
as we read the book. An author can intend the
story to be humorous, sad, serious, slapstick, or
any combination of these throughout the
story, and will use sentence structure, word
choices, patterns and arrangements to
communicate and set the story’s tone

real places when reading realistic stories;
they must be credible
