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.

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.

2. Teacher Leadership
The concepts of leading and teaching are so intertwined that
every leader is a teacher, and every teacher is a leader. The art of
leading students is one of the greatest challenges faced by today's
teacher. The process is intensified in a prison setting where the
environment for blending leadership practices is complex (Hand
& Penuel, 2013).
3. Teacher Leadership (Cont’d)
• Teacher leaders lead within and beyond the classroom; identify
with and contribute to a community of teacher learners and
leaders; influence others toward improved educational practice;
and accept responsibility for achieving the outcomes of their
leadership (Katzenmeyer & Moller, 2001).
4. Teacher Leadership (Cont’d)
“Teacher leadership is the process by which teachers,
individually or collectively, influence their colleagues, principals,
and other members of the school communities to improve
teaching and learning practices with the aim of increased student
learning and achievement.” (York-Barr & Duke, 2004)
5. Teacher Leadership (Cont’d)
Lovett (2018) argue, engaging in leadership work whether or not
they or others recognise this as a form of leadership. In this way,
spheres of influence are reciprocated as teachers share their
expertise and, at the same time, learn from the insights offered by
their colleagues. This type of leadership is referred to as teacher
leadership.
6. TEACHER LEADERSHIP IS:
• A way of organizing learning.
• A way of understanding the connections between knowledge and
practice.
• A way of combining the explicit and tacit ways of knowing.
• A way of learning the skills, abilities and capacities for developing and
nurturing community among peers.
• A way of negotiating the tensions between privacy and a new view of
community (Lieberman, 2013).
7. Teacher Leadership Situated in Other Conceptions of
Leadership
Teacher leadership is reasonably situated within four conceptions of
leadership that are inclusive of formal and informal leaders:
1. Participative leadership,
2. Leadership as an organizational quality,
3. Distributed leadership,
4. Parallel leadership.
The emergence of teacher leadership would seem to be more likely when
these forms of leadership are present in the surrounding context of
practice (York-Barr & Duke, 2004)
8. Teacher Leadership and Distributed Leadership
• Distributed leadership theory advocates that schools ‘decentre’ the
leader. It reflects the view that every person in one way or another can
demonstrate leadership .
• Teacher Leadership emphasis upon collective action, empowerment
and shared agency are reflected in distributed leadership theory.
Teacher leadership is centrally and exclusively concerned with the idea
that all organizational members can lead and that leadership is a form
of agency that can be distributed or shared (Gronn, 2000).
