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.

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.
1. TYPES OF NOUNS AND PRONOUNS IN ENGLISH
NOUNS ARE AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS IN THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE – WITHOUT THEM, WE’D HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME SPEAKING
AND WRITING ABOUT ANYTHING. THIS GUIDE TO NOUN TYPES IS INTENDED
AS A BASIC OVERVIEW. EVERY TYPE OF NOUN COMES WITH ITS OWN
RULES, SO BE SURE TO READ MORE IN OUR PAGES ABOUT SPECIFIC
TYPES OF NOUNS.
2. ABSTRACT NOUNS
Abstract nouns are those referring to ideas, concepts, emotions, and
other “things” you can’t physically interact with. You can’t see, taste,
touch, smell, or hear something named with an abstract noun. Some
abstract noun examples are included in the following sentences.
Success seems to come easily to certain people.
His hatred of people smoking indoors is legendary.
She has an incredible love for nature.
This is of great importance.
He received an award for his bravery.
3. COLLECTIVE NOUNS
When talking about types of noun, it’s important to
remember collective nouns. A collective noun is a
word that refers to a group. It can be either singular
or plural, but is usually used in the singular. Some
collective noun examples are included in the
following sentences.
Our team is enjoying an unbroken winning streak.
There’s a pack of hyenas outside.
Watch out for that swarm of bees.
You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a herd of wild
horses.
Our class graduates two years from now.
4. COMMON NOUNS
Common nouns are used to refer to general things
rather than specific examples. Common nouns are
not normally capitalized unless they are used as
part of a proper name or are placed at the
beginning of a sentence. Some common noun
examples are included in the following sentences.
Be sure to pick a top university.
Stack those boxes carefully.
Would you like a cookie with your coffee?
People are strange.
My dog won’t stop barking.
5. CONCRETE NOUNS
Concrete nouns are words used for actual things
you can touch, see, taste, feel, and hear – things
you interact with every day. Notice that concrete
nouns can also be countable, uncountable,
common, proper, and collective nouns. Some
concrete noun examples are included in the
following sentences.
Please remember to buy oranges.
Have a seat in that chair.
6. THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRONOUNS:
The term pronoun covers many words, some of
which do not fall easily under the description given
in the section What are Pronouns? There are many
different kinds of pronouns. In general, these do not
cause difficulties for native English speakers. The
list below is mainly for reference purposes.
7. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS
These pronouns are used to demonstrate (or
indicate). This, that, these and those are all
demonstrative pronouns.
Examples:
This is the one I left in the car.
(In this example, the speaker could be indicating to
a mobile phone, in which case, the pronoun this
replaces the words mobile phone.)
Shall I take those?
8. MORE ON DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS...
INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
Unlike demonstrative pronouns, which point out specific items,
indefinite pronouns are used for non-specific things. This is the
largest group of pronouns. All, some, any, several, anyone,
nobody, each, both, few, either, none, one and no one are
the most common.
Example:
Somebody must have seen the driver leave.
(somebody – not a specific person)
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
(Oscar Wilde)
I have nothing to declare except my genius. (Oscar Wilde)

INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
These pronouns are used in questions. Although
they are classified as pronouns, it is not easy to see
how they replace nouns. Who, which, what, where
and how are all interrogative pronouns.
Example:
Who told you to do that?
Which dog won the race?
10. MORE ON INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS...
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
The personal pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we,
they, and who. More often than not (but not
exclusively), they replace nouns representing
people. When most people think of pronouns, it is
the personal pronouns that usually spring to mind.
Example:
We can't all be heroes because somebody has to
sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.
11. MORE ON PERSONAL PRONOUNS...
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.
Possessive pronouns are used to show possession.
As they are used as adjectives, they are also
known as possessive adjectives. My, your, his,
her, its, our and their are all possessive pronouns.
Have you seen her book?
(In this example, the pronoun her replaces a word
like Sarah's.)
12. MORE ON POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS...
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Relative pronouns are used to add more information to a
sentence. Which, that, who (including whom and
whose) and where are all relative pronouns.
Examples:
Dr Adam Sissons, who lectured at Cambridge for more
than 12 years, should have known the difference.
(In this example, the relative pronoun who introduces
the clause who studied at Cambridge for 12 years and
refers back to Dr Adams Sissons.)
The man who first saw the comet reported it as a UFO.
(In this example, the relative pronoun who introduces
the clause who first saw the comet and refers back to
the man.)
13. MORE ON RELATIVE PRONOUNS...
ABSOLUTE POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
These pronouns also show possession. Unlike
possessive pronouns (see above), which are
adjectives to nouns, these pronouns sit by
themselves. Mine, yours, his, hers, ours and
theirs are all absolute possessive pronouns.
Examples:
The tickets are as good as ours.
Shall we take yours or theirs?
14. MORE ON ABSOLUTE POSSESSIVES...
RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS
Reciprocal pronouns are used for actions or
feelings that are reciprocated. The two most
common reciprocal pronouns are each other and
one another.
Examples:
They like one another.
They talk to each other like they're babies.
15. MORE ON RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS...
REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
A reflexive pronoun ends ...self or ...selves and
refers to another noun or pronoun in the sentence
(usually the subject of the sentence). The reflexive
pronouns aremyself, yourself, herself, himself,
itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves.
Examples:
The dog bit itself.
(In this example, the intensive pronoun itself refers
back to the noun the dog.)
Are you talking to yourself?
16. MORE ON REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS...
INTENSIVE (OR EMPHATIC) PRONOUNS
An intensive pronoun (sometimes called an
emphatic pronoun) refers back to another noun or
pronoun in the sentence to emphasize it (e.g., to
emphasize that it is the thing carrying out the
action).
Examples:
John bakes all the bread himself.
(In this example, the intensive pronoun himself
refers back to the noun John.)
The cat opened the door itself
