The document summarizes how India's ruling class has failed to meet the expectations of the people after independence in several key areas:
1. Politically, democracy has lost its soul of representation, with weaker communities and women making up a small minority in legislature.
2. Economically, GDP growth has declined sharply while inflation and wealth disparity have increased drastically.
3. In foreign policy, relations with neighbors have become strained by abruptly shifting policies designed to win elections rather than benefit the people.
4. Public assets are being increasingly privatized while corruption and bank fraud have risen tremendously.

Wide Open Spaces: Schooling in Rural America TodayJeremy Knight
Fourteen percent of the nation’s population lives in rural communities, and one in five K-12 students attends a rural school — a substantial proportion of America’s school population. Despite increased attention from the national education policy community in recent years, too many rural communities and schools continue to struggle to provide their students with quality educational opportunities. Common approaches to education reform that may work in urban communities often fail to take into account the unique assets and challenges facing rural schools.
“Wide Open Spaces: Schooling in Rural America Today” provides education policymakers with a factbase on America’s rural schools and communities: the economic and academic challenges they face, their unique assets, and opportunities for improvement. This resource highlights some of the challenges facing schools and students, including limited economic opportunity, poor access to healthcare, and social challenges like drug addiction. It also provides an overview of available data on student outcomes, including National Assessment of Educational Progress data and graduation rates. These data reveal that while rural students appear to be doing better on average than students in some other geographies, there are real gaps among subgroups and barriers to postsecondary opportunities that hinder many rural students from achieving their full academic potential.
Even so, rural communities’ assets provide opportunities to create and sustain meaningful change. Compared with other geographies, rural communities tend to place high value on civic and community engagement and support tight-knit networks among residents. Community members tend to have a deep sense of and commitment to place that dates back generations. And at a state and national level, rural communities represent a powerful political voice.
“Wide Open Spaces: Schooling in Rural America Today” aims to equip advocates, decision-makers, and other stakeholders with a shared understanding of rural education to generate a more accurate and nuanced policy response.

Stewardship is a term that describes the managerial role played by someone in managing another person’s property. A steward is not the owner but only the manager. When applied to politics, in the context of a democratic environment, political stewardship refers to elected leaders playing the role of political managers who are entrusted with the governance of a nation-state and its public resources that is the property of all citizens. The elected leaders are not owners of the nation-state and its public resources but just managers.
Democracy in Pakistan Hopes and HurdlesKashif Aziz
Democracy is one of the best form of government. It provides every right to the people within the country for which people are desirous of. However, it is rightly said by Abraham Lincoln that the democracy means the government of the people, by the people and for the people. Role of individuals in democracy has proved to be the key think about making it the foremost desired and admired sort of government. Democracy offers freedom to people which other sorts of governments forbid. A bird’s eye view of the system of governments round the globe shows that democracy is that the most often applied sort of government. Going through the pages of the history of Pakistan, it are often said that Pakistan features a history that shows that democracy could never prosper here.

Most of countries in the world either being ruled on the ideal principle of democracy or formally declare democratic state. Democracy has age old evolutionary process, grow roots in certain environment and conditions it also depends on the history of state formation. It is perceived that the ideal forms of democratic governance are Western countries and that's why they developed in every sense. The developing countries have far reaching task to be at that level, it have their own challenges. In the case of India, it has been governed over by British Empire from centuries like many others it also came into being as a separate state as most of third world states in post de colonization phase. So, there are many deformities exist in those states because of their state formations, the artificial construction of boundaries, the conflicting materials and the western styled democracy, inefficient governance, transitional societies, ethno centric politics instead of citizens centric. These are some relevant factors which diminishes the democratic functioning of Indian State. This paper tries to ascertain the problem and prospects of Indian democracy in the context of minority Muslim rights.

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

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 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.

Our Ruling Class to Meet their Class Interest
Dr. Md. Afsar Ali,
Principal,
Saheed Nurul Islam Mahavidyalaya,
North 24 Parganas, West Bengal.
After a horrific colonial subjugation for a long period of about two centuries, we, the people of India are
free now for more than seven decades. It was a natural and logical expectation that after independence our
people, i.e., the people of our country and the country herself will overcome all or at least the majority of
the problems which were deliberately created by the colonial rulers in order to meet their vested
exploitative interest, or of the problems which were solvable but lacking was in the right mentality of the
colonial rulers. Some of such burning problems from which our country was suffering were – non-
establishment and non-implementation of democratic method of ruling of the country or functioning of
the autocratic dictatorial method of ruling, adopting only such diplomatic strategies which were in the
interest of the rulers but detrimental to the interest of the people of India, adopting such economic policies
which were beneficial to the economic and other interest of the ruling (British) class only although
dangerously harmful to India and the Indians, bothering only about the development of their own class
(British) at the cost of the people of India, and other many problems. Now, after “independence” we are
living under the rule of different rulers, under the glazy attractive banner of “democracy”, i.e., under the
rule by ourselves. Solutions to these problems or substantial improvement of our conditions in these
respects – were logically expected. Let’s see in the following analysis to what extent these expectations
are met, to what extent these problems are solved, to what extent the people of India’s living conditions
has been improved or deteriorated?
In Political Field, as per our constitution, democracy is the only permissible mode of politics in our
country. Democracy means representation. But the ruling class, emerged through the transfer of power
from their British colonial counterpart in 1947 have consciously and continuously manipulated our
democratic politics to such an extent that democracy itself is now just in its skeleton without the soul. Our
functional democracy has lost its soul, i.e., the representation. Representation, the essence of democracy
was to ensure participation of the weak without futile competition with the strong sections of the society
in the decision making process. In Indian population composition – the Hindus, being the numerical
majority community, is the stronger and the Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, etc. are the
weaker, being numerical minorities. On the other hand, females although having almost equal numerical
strength – are made in reality gender based weaker community here. Our present brand of manipulated
democracy has almost successfully blocked the representation of any such weaker / minority community
in the decision making process i.e., in legislation and others. In parliament (17th
) only 27 are Muslim
M.P.s out of total 543, representing only 4.97% of the community; in Rajya Sabha only 16 M.P.s out of
245 now shows just 6.53% representation for the second largest community (Muslims) with about 15%
population! Similar is the situation for the women also! In parliament, they represent only 14% (78
women M.P.s out of total 543) and in Rajya Sabha, it is as low as 10,20% (only 25 women M.P.s out of
2. Page 2 of 3
total 245)! Thus, our democracy is made non-representative! Albeit in the name of “democracy” itself!
So, it is not democracy, in the true sense.
So, our legislature is non-democratic. It is made majoritarian democracy – which is not democracy at all;
it is a cleverly designed ruling method to rule /dictate by materializing “Might is the Right” jungle rule.
By majority, the largest community is the mightiest in our majoritarian democracy. Thus, imposition of
majoritarian democracy means compulsory imposition of unquestioned obedience by the weak to the
strong majority community. This is not far from monarch or dictatorial system of ruling. Unfortunately,
this is the process of ruling India since “independence”.
A new and dangerous thought process is being formed in the mental pattern of the people that whosoever
speaks against any policy or action of the Govt., he /she will immediately be branded as Deshdrohi (i.e., a
traitor of the country)! This is in head-on contradiction with our constitution and the essence of
democracy, i.e., the right to opinion, free thought and expression. The dictatorial form of governance even
tries to dictate every thought and action of the citizens in the rulers’ favoured direction in order to meet
their own class-interest. That is the reason that even one’s good /humanitarian work to the society may
not be liked by the ruler(s) and the person’s fate may be like that of many writers, social activists,
philanthropic workers, politicians etc. whose lives are either finished or made hell in recent times! On the
contrary, many anti-socials, criminals, rapists, country’s traitors etc. whose thoughts and actions although
were very dangerous to the country and her people but were conducive to the interest of the ruler(s) -
were glorified and made to get hero’s felicitation!
People’s religion, which has nothing to do with our constitutional “SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST
SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC” form of governance – has purposefully been brought in the
fore-front in order to divert people’s attention from non-performing and exploitative rule and subdue their
anger and protest under the strong narcotic dose of religion. Karl Marx has been proved right in Indian
political scenario now, who said that religion was opium to make people forget about their real problem
and remain hypnotized under the duress of religion-narcotics. The dark cloud of religious hypnotism has
covered the fresh sunshine of democracy in the political atmosphere of our country – democracy is
suffocating! All are purposefully manipulated just to meet the ruler’s interest at the cost of the people’s,
hence the country’s interest!
Even our diplomacy i.e., our foreign relation is being guided not by the interest of the country or her
people but by the interest of the ruler(s) class! As a result, our historically long good relation with all our
neighbours (except Pakistan) is poised in recent times! This happened due to abruptly shifting from our
persistently followed non-aligned foreign policy of compassion and inclusion. The situation is so worse
that even small country, like Nepal dears to encroach our land crossing the international border, although
we are a big country with nuclear powerful! Too much hugging, dinning and shining (flashing) with
America, the god of capitalist colonialism in today’s world is also forcing our neighbours feeling insecure
to some extent. In short, country’s foreign policy is being designed to win elections only.
Our economy is the worst sufferer now! GDP growth rate has fallen in un-precedent way from a good
7.4% in 2014 to moderate 6.1% in 2018, poor 4.2% in 2019, worse 3.1% in 2020 (January) and an
unbelievable big negative (- 23.9%) now!. A continuously declining GDP graph of our country! In spite
of RBI’s prediction, the ruler did nothing to check this economic devastation! Inflation Rate is
3. Page 3 of 3
continuously increasing from 2.49% in 2017, to 4.86% in 2018, 7.59% in 2020 (January)! Value of our
currency is decreasing in international market in record extent! In 2014, our 63.67 Indian rupees could
purchase one American dollar, but now we are to spend 75.54 Indian rupees to buy the same, one
American dollar! A big 18.64% devaluation to our currency is done in just six years!
Public money are looted from the banks, whereas the banks were the most secured place to keep money
in! According to RBI report, an unimaginable 53,334 cases of bank fraud we have in just last 11 years!
Per year at the rate of five cases of loot of our hard earned money1 They looted 2.05 lakh crore, which is
unprecedented and devastating!
Disparity in income has occurred abruptly! According to the Oxfam, an international Survey Agency,
73% of our (India’s) wealth is captured by just 1% people! This was two year’s old report (2018). Now
the picture is much gloomy! According to another report, the richest just 10 individuals of our country are
the owners of country’s three-fourth of wealth! Last year, one businessman of our country earned on an
average Rs.300 crore per day (NDTV Report)! Whereas, about 70% Indians’ daily average income is less
than Rs.145 (World Bank Report)!
Almost every public property is either already sold or is being sold! Rail, Airways, Bank, Defense sector,
Heritage sites (e.g., Lal Qilla), even the natural resources – minerals, jungles etc. are sold to the private
bodies! Now privatization has established its control even in our legislatures! They invest huge quantum
of money in electing legislators and ministers of their choice! Our democracy is suffocating in ICU under
the venomous pollution in the vote politics atmosphere created due to the uncontrolled strong influence of
black money.
The above situation reflects that our country is not in a balanced sustainable equilibrium – in any aspect.
Ours is democratic republic. Thus, the country belongs not to the rulers but to the people; true power to
rule lies with the people. So, in such crucial deciding time, the people has to take the responsibility to
guide the country in proper direction.
