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.

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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Semicolon/Colon Powerpoint
1. Learning Objectives
- To know what colons and semi-colons are, and
when they should be used;
- To understand the effect of colons and semi-
colons in writing;
- To use subtle and appropriate colons and
semi-colons in my own writing.
Starter: Write two sentences about this picture. One should use a colon, and one should use a semi-
colon.
2. Colons are punctuation marks (:) used before lists of items, a quotation, or an expansion or explanation. They can also
help connect two independent that are directly related and dependent an clause to an independent clause.
Examples
I then packed the following items: toothbrush, deodorant, hairbrush, pants, socks, and a phone charger.
It’s like Fred Flintstone once said: “Yabba-Dabba-Doo!”
I had two options: Run away into the distance, stand and fight.
There is only one way we will get through this: fighting passionately
3. Semi-colons (;) are punctuation marks that join two independent clauses that are not connected with a coordinate conjunction and
used to help separate items in a list where commas exist.
Examples
His dog was aggressive; had once bitten the postman.
Global warming was evident in these cities: Seaford, Delaware; Dover, Delaware; and Newark, Delaware.
Dad was getting older; his hair is thinning.
4. Take a look at the following pictures
and writing on the next slides. Are the
colons/ semi-colons used correctly?
5. Are the colons/ semi-colons used correctly? Can you explain how you know?
Homer Simpson is not a good father for the following reasons: greediness, laziness, and aggressiveness.
6. Are the colons/ semi-colons used correctly? Can you explain how you know?
John had been partying on Saturday; he wanted nothing more than to spend all Sunday in bed.

She had dyed her hair 3 colours: pink, purple, and blue.

Geoffrey was listening out for three things: food, treats, and walkies!
10. It’s now time to demonstrate that you understand where
colons and semi-colons should be placed.
Insert the correct punctuation (including colons and semi-
colons) into the sentences, phrases, and passages on the
worksheet.
11. Learning Objectives
- To know what colons and semi-colons are, and
when they should be used;
- To understand the effect of colons and semi-
colons in writing;
- To use subtle and appropriate colons and
semi-colons in my own writing.
How are we doing
against our learning
objectives?
12. It’s now important that we understand the effect that
colons and semi-colons have upon a piece of writing.
Read the passage about the castaway on a tropical island,
and explain the effect that the colons and semi-colons
have upon the piece as a whole.
Why has the writer included them? Are they effective?
13. Colons can have a huge effect upon the sentences/passages that they are written in. They prepare the reader for the fact
that a list or a quotation is coming, so they know to pause and take a breath. They also change their tone. Sentences can
sound wrong (and can be uncomfortable to read) if colons are not inserted correctly.
The effect of a semi-colon can be extremely powerful also. It shows that ideas are closely related, but makes the reader
pause for longer than they would with a comma. This allows the reader to fully take in and appreciate ideas.
14. Learning Objectives
- To know what colons and semi-colons are, and
when they should be used;

- Describe the setting, linking related ideas;
- Introduce speech or dialogue between people.
