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

2. STRUCTURE OF INDIA
• Our Earth is approximately 460 million
years ago.
• The structure of India refers to various
endogenic and exogenic forces that are
operating inside and on the surface of
earth.
• Based on Geologic structure and
Geomorphic processes , India’s
Geologic structure is divided into three
parts
• 1. THE PENINSULAR BLOCK
• 2.THE HIMALAYAS AND OTHER
PENINSULAR MOUNTAINS
• 3. INDO-GANGA-BRAHMAPUTRA
PLAIN
3. PHYSIOGRAPHY OF INDIA
• Physiography is the sub field of Physical
Geography that studies the physical
patterns and processes of Earth.
. Processes like Erosion, Deposition,
Transportation of sediments eroded,
brought and carried away by various
agents of gradation like water, wind glacier
etc.
• Thus, Physiography of an area is the result
of geological structure and process that
operate on an area.
• The Physiographic division of India is
divided into divisions:
• 1.The Himalayas
• 2. The Northern Plains
• 3.The Peninsular Plateau
• 4.The Indian Desert
• 5.The Coastal Plains
• 6.The Islands.
4. THE ISLANDS
• An Island is an area surrounded by water from all
sides.
• Andaman and Nicobar islands are located in Bay of
Bengal and Lakshadweep Islands are located in
Arabian Sea.
5. ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS
• It consist of 572 small islands in
it.
• It is divided into two groups i.e
Andaman in North and Nicobar in
South and both are separated by
Ten Degree Channel.
• These islands are of Volcanic
origin.
• Barren Island is the only active
volcano which is situated here.
• Saddle Peak is the mountain
peak found in Andaman Islands
and Mount Thuiller in Nicobar
island.
• Its area is 7950 square kms.
• Port Blair is the capital of
Andaman and Nicobar Island.
6. • LAKSHADWEEP ISLANDS:
• These islands are located in
Arabian sea.
• There are 36 islands in this
island.
• Minicoy is the largest island
in it.
• These islands are of coral
origin.
• The area is 32 square kms.
• Kavaratti is the capital of
these island.
7. THE INDIAN DESERT
• It is located on the northwest of Aravali range.
• This region receives low rainfall i.e 150 mm per year. It is
because of this it has arid climate with low vegetation cover,
It is because of this it is called as MARUSTHALI.
• Some of land features present here are like mushroom
rocks, shifting sand dunes, oasis etc.
• Luni river is the only river that flows in this region.
• High evaporation and low rainfall makes it a water lacking
region.
• Due to this the water turns into brackish and it is the main
source of obtaining salt.
8. THE PENINSULAR PLATEAU
• Situation: it is in the south of northern
plains.
• Its inverted triangular in shape with
apex at Cape Comorin in Kanyakumari
and base extending from Aravallis,
Bundelkhand, Chotanagpur Plateau to
Shillong Plateau.
• Its height ranges from 600-900 meters.
• Characteristics: This physiographic
feature of India is the oldest and the
most stable landmass of India.
• It is rich in black soil.
• It possess various geographical features
like block mountains, rift valleys
formed by rivers like Narmada and
Tapi, deltas formed by various rivers
like Mahanadi, Krishna, Godavari.
9. • Origin: it was a part of Gondwana land which
broke up million years ago . It started drifting
northwards and once it has rosed it have never
submerged. it experienced subsidence too
because of which rift valleys are formed by the
river Narmada and Tapi.
• Peninsular Plateau is divided into three parts
• 1. The Deccan Plateau.
• 2. The Central Highlands.
• 3. The North-Eastern Plateau.
10. • 1. DECCAN PLATEAU:
• It is bordered by Western
Ghats in west , Eastern Ghats
in East and Vindhyas and
Satpura Ranges in north.
• Western Ghats is known by
different names like Sahyadri
in Maharashtra, Nilgiri hills in
Karnataka and Tamilnadu and
Anamalai hills in Kerela.
• Deccan plateau consist of two
parts i.e Western Ghats and
Eastern Ghats.
11. WESTERN GHATS EASTERN GHATS
1.It runs parallel to
western coast of India
It runs parallel to
eastern coast of India.
2.It is continuous in
nature.
It is not continuous in
nature but it is with
gaps.
3.It is source of various
big rivers.
It is not source of big
rivers.
4.It is narrower than
Eastern Ghats
It is broader than
western Ghats.
5. Anaimudi (2685 m ) is
the highest peak of
western ghats
Doda betta (2637) is the
highest peak of Eastern
Ghats.
12. • 2. THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
• It is bounded by Aravali range in west ,
Satpura range in north and Chottanagpur
plateau in south.
• This is the example of relict mountains
eroded by wind.
• Its elevation is 700-1000 m above sea
level with its slope towards north east
direction.
• 3. THE NORTH-EASTERN PLATEAU
• It is the north-eastern extension of
peninsular plateau but now it has gone
detached in form of Meghalaya Plateau.
• Meghalaya Plateau is divided into three
hills namey: 1. Garo hills 2. Khasi hills
3.Jaintia hills.
• Meghalaya Plateau receives highest
rainfall and is rich in mineral resources
like coal, iron ore and limestone.
13.
14. COASTAL PLAINS
• India’s coastline is 6100 kms.
• The narrow strip of land between either side of the coast and mountain
ranges is called Coastal Plains.
• The coastal plains is divided into two parts:
• 1. Western Coastal Plains
• 2. Eastern Coastal Plains
• 1.Western Coastal Plains:
• Western coastal plains extend between Western Ghats and western coast of
India.
• It runs from Rann of Kuchch in Gujarat to Kanyakumari in south.
• The rivers flowing through this coastal plains does not make delta.
• This coastal plain have indented which supports ports facility like Mumbai
port is located on western coast of India.
• It is narrow .
• It is divided further into following coast:
• 1. Konkan coast between Daman to Goa
• 2.Karnataka coast between Goa to Karnataka
• 3. Malabar Coast between Mangalore to Kanyakumari ( Backwaters
known as Kayals are also used for fishing, inland navigation etc.)
15.
16.
17. • The Eastern Coastal Plains:
• It extends between Eastern Ghats and Eastern coast of India.
• It extends from Kanyakumari to West Bengal.
• It is broader coastal plain as compared to Western Coastal
Plain.
• Various rivers like Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna river make the
delta here.
• It is again divided into three parts:
• 1. Coromandel Coast: Between Kanyakumari to Madras. It is
also called Northern Circars.
• 2. Andhra Coast: It extends between Krishna and Mahanadi
river. It covers maximum part of Andhra Pradesh state.
• 3. Utkal Plains: it extends from Ganga to Mahanadi delta . It
covers maximum part of Odisha state.
18. NORTHERN PLAINS
• Situation: It stretch from
Indus river in West to Ganga
river in East and parallel to
Himalayas.
• Formation: They are formed
by deposition of sediments
brought by rivers like Indus,
Ganga and Brahmaputra and
its tributaries.
• Length: 3200 kms.
19. • Northern Plains is divided into following parts:
• 1.Bhabhar
• 2. Tarai
• 3. Khadar
• 4.Bhangar
• 1. Bhabhar: They are south of Himalayas.
• The rivers coming from Himalayas deposit all material
consisting of gravel, sand ,clay. Due to absorbing capabilities
of these materials , water percolates in the lower layers.
• It extends upto 8-11 kms
• 2. Tarai: Tarai means full of water. It lies in south of Bhabar
plains. In this rivers/streams reemerge after they are being
absorbed by the material like sand, silt, clay etc. and thus
develop swampy conditions etc.
• Its length is 10-12 kms
20. • Khadar and Bhanghar are also two types of
northern plains based on the renewability by
the floods .
KHADAR BHANGHAR
It is newer and younger deposits brought
by rivers.
It is older deposits brought by rivers.
It contains the clayey material It contains calcereous deposits called
KANKARS
It is also called newer alluvium plain It is also called older alluvium plain
21. HIMALAYAS
• Himalayas are the youngest
fold mountains situated in
north India.
• Its length is 2500 kms.
• This is the physical barrier
which separates one
physiographic divisions from
the other.
• This act as a good climatic
barrier as they provide
obstruction to the moisture
laden winds and cause
rainfall.
22.
23. • Himalayas are subdivided into following parts:
• 1. KASHMIR OR NORTH-WESTERN HIMALAYAS:
• These Himalayas consist of Karakoram Range, Ladakh Range
and Zaskar range.
• Siachen, Baltoro glaciers are there.
• These Himalayas are famous for KAREWAS. Karewas are thick
deposits of glacial clay and other material embedded with
moraines.
• These Himalayas are drained by river Indus and its tributary
Jhelum, Chenab.
• Freshwater lakes like Dal and Wular lake are located here.
• These Himalaya are known for their scenic beauty and
landscape. This scenic beauty act as points for tourist
attractions.
• Places of pilgrimage like Vaishno Devi, Amarnath cave etc are
located here.
• Southernmost part of these Himalayas consist of longitudinal
valleys called DUNS. Example JAMMU DUN, PAHANKOT DUN
etc.
24. • 2. HIMACHAL PRADESH AND UTTRAKHAND HIMALAYAS
• These Himalayas are drained by two rivers that is river
Indus, Ganga and its tributaries.
• Tributaries of Indus include Ravi, Beas and Sutlej.
• Tributaries of Ganga include Yamuna and Ghaghar river.
• Important hill stations like Mussoorie, Shimla are located
here.
• Kedarnath, Badrinath are located in these Himalayas.
• 3. DARJELLING AND SIKKIM HIMALAYAS
• These Himalayas are known for there highest peaks like
Kanchenjunga and deep valleys as they are part of Great
Himalayas.
• Due to moderate slope, thick soil cover, well distributed
rainfall British introduced growing of various plantation
crops like tea, coffee.
• These Himalayas are known for their scenic beauty because
of rich flora and fauna and act as a point for tourist
attraction.
25. • 4. ARUNACHAL HIMALAYAS
• It extends from East of Bhutan to Dipu pass in Arunachal Pradesh.
• Important peak is Namcha Barwa.
• These Himalayas are dissected by fast flowing rivers like Brahmaputra.
• Because of Perennial nature of these rivers like Brahmaputra and its
tributaries , these have potential for hydroelectric powers.
• These Himalayas are inhabited by tribes like Nagas.
• Most of the tribes perform Slash and Burn Agriculture or Jhumming in
which after growing crops, part of land is burnt and left untouched for some
time and crops are grown on other piece of land.
• 5.EASTERN HILLS:
• These are low height hills inhabited by tribal people who practice
jhumming.
• These hills are called Patkai Bum in north and Naga Hills, Mizo hills or Lushai
hills in south.
• There is a large lake in these hills called Loktak lake surrounded by hills
from all sides.
• These hills are drained mostly by the tributaries of Brahmaputra.
