Rama and Sita, a married princess, were banished to the forest by Rama's stepmother. The demon king Ravana kidnapped Sita for her beauty. Rama and his brother Lakshman searched for months with the help of the monkey king Hanuman. They found Sita imprisoned on Lanka and prepared for battle against Ravana. After a 10 day battle where Ravana seemed to gain the upper hand, Rama used a special bow and arrow from the gods to defeat Ravana and rescue Sita. They returned home where the people celebrated with lamps, now commemorated as Diwali.

The Ramayana
One of India’s Greatest Epics.
Background InformationOne of the great epics of IndiaSaid to be written by the sage, ValmikiHas 24,000 verses and is divided into seven booksSome say it was written around 200 B.C.Literally means “The Adventures of Rama”Explores human values and the concept of Dharma
ThemesGood vs. EvilLoyaltyHonorHumilityVarious forms of Dharma. Dharma is a code of conduct. Duties, rights, laws, and virtues that coincide with how someone interprets the “right way to live.”
Dasharatha, King of Aydohya, has three wives and four sons. Rama is the eldest. His mother is Kaushalya. Bharata is the son of his second and favorite wife, Queen Kaikeyi. The other two are twins, Lakshman and Shatrughna. Rama and Bharata are blue, perhaps indicating they were dark skinned or originally south Indian deities.
A sage takes the boys out to train them in archery. Rama has hit an apple hanging from a string.
In a neighboring city the ruler's daughter is named Sita. When it was time for Sita to choose her bridegroom, at a ceremony called a swayamvara, the princes were asked to string a giant bow. No one else can even lift the bow, but as Rama bends it, he not only strings it but breaks it in two.
Sita indicates she has chosen Rama as her husband by putting a garland around his neck. The disappointed suitors watch.
King Dasharatha, Rama's father, decides it is time to give his throne to his eldest son Rama and retire to the forest to seek moksha. Everyone seems pleased. This plan fulfills the rules of dharma because an eldest son should rule and, if a son can take over one's responsibilities, one's last years may be spent in a search for moksha. In addition, everyone loves Rama. However Rama's step-mother, the king's second wife, is not pleased. She wants her son, Bharata, to rule. Because of an oath Dasharatha had made to her years before, she gets the king to agree to banish Rama for fourteen years and to crown Bharata, even though the king, on bended knee, begs her not to demand such things. Broken-hearted, the devastated king cannot face Rama with the news and Kaikeyi must tell him.
Rama, always obedient, is as content to go into banishment in the forest as to be crowned king. Sita convinces Rama that she belongs at his side and his brother Lakshman also begs to accompany them. Rama, Sita and Lakshman set out for the forest.
Bharata, whose mother's evil plot has won him the throne, is very upset when he finds out what has happened. Not for a moment does he consider breaking the rules of dharma and becoming king in Rama's place. He goes to Rama's forest retreat and begs Rama to return and rule, but Rama refuses. "We must obey father," Rama says. Bharata then takes Rama's sandals saying, "I will put these on the throne, and every day I shall place the fruits of my work at the feet on my Lord." Embracing Rama, he takes the sandals and returns to Aydohya.
Years pass and.
**Title: Exploring the Timeless Epic: An In-depth Analysis of the Ramayana**
**Introduction:**
The Ramayana, an ancient Sanskrit epic, stands as a beacon of wisdom and virtue in Hindu mythology and culture. Composed by the revered sage Valmiki, this epic narrative transcends the boundaries of time and culture, captivating audiences with its rich tapestry of characters, intricate plotlines, and timeless teachings. In this essay, we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of the Ramayana, delving into its origins, key characters, main plotlines, enduring themes, and cultural significance.
**Origins of the Ramayana:**
The Ramayana finds its origins in ancient India, believed to have been composed by the sage Valmiki around 500 BCE to 100 BCE. Valmiki, revered as the Adi Kavi or the first poet, crafted this epic masterpiece in the form of seven books, known as Kandas, each representing a distinct phase of the narrative. The Ramayana is deeply rooted in the cultural and religious ethos of ancient India, offering profound insights into the societal norms, values, and spiritual beliefs of the time.
**Key Characters:**
At the heart of the Ramayana are its captivating characters, each imbued with depth, complexity, and symbolic significance. These characters serve as embodiments of various virtues, vices, and moral dilemmas, shaping the narrative and conveying profound insights into the human condition. Here are the key characters of the Ramayana:
1. **Rama:** The noble prince of Ayodhya and the protagonist of the epic, Rama epitomizes righteousness, courage, and selflessness. His unwavering commitment to duty and virtue serves as a guiding light for all who encounter him.
2. **Sita:** Rama's devoted wife and the embodiment of virtue and fidelity, Sita accompanies Rama into exile and endures numerous trials with grace and resilience.
3. **Lakshmana:** Rama's loyal younger brother, Lakshmana exemplifies loyalty, devotion, and self-sacrifice. He accompanies Rama into exile and serves him with unwavering dedication.
4. **Hanuman:** The mighty monkey warrior and devotee of Rama, Hanuman plays a pivotal role in the epic, aiding Rama in his quest to rescue Sita with his extraordinary strength and wisdom.
5. **Ravana:** The formidable demon king of Lanka, Ravana serves as the primary antagonist of the Ramayana. His arrogance, greed, and lust for power propel the epic's narrative forward, culminating in a climactic showdown with Rama.
6. **Dasharatha:** The noble king of Ayodhya and Rama's father, Dasharatha's decisions and actions shape the course of the epic, setting into motion the events that lead to Rama's exile.
7. **Bharata:** Rama's loyal younger brother, Bharata's unwavering love and devotion to Rama are central to the narrative, as he reluctantly assumes the throne of Ayodhya in Rama's absence.
**Main Plotlines:**
The Ramayana unfolds through a series of intricate plotlines and subplots, each contributing to the overarching narrative of love, du
This story has a lot to teach but the most important teaching is how Ram wins by fulfilling his duties without worrying about the consequences or benefits - "Karmyogi". It also shows Ravan who is an arrogant scholarly king who is defeated in the end. We all have elements of both the characters in us. Goal is to be like Ram. Keeping Ram's story in our heart and mind guides our daily life and we will never be destroyed due to false pride like Ravan did.
This is a presentation I have given to local school in the USA. It is colorful, and tells the story of Dusshera, Diwali, Ram and Sita. There are almost no words but tons of photographs. We will write the narrative over time. The story can be delivered in 15-30 minutes, or seen in 5.
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.

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.
