William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor considered one of the greatest writers in the English language. He wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets that are still performed widely today. His plays include comedies, tragedies, and histories that provide insight into human nature, language, and England during the Tudor era. Shakespeare established himself as a playwright and shareholder in the Lord Chamberlain's Men theater company, helping build the Globe Theatre in London where many of his plays were first performed.
Hamlet is a tragedy play written by William Shakespeare, considered one of the greatest playwrights in the English language. The play is set in the Kingdom of Denmark and revolves around Prince Hamlet, who is consumed by grief and anger after the death of his father, King Hamlet, and the subsequent remarriage of his mother, Queen Gertrude, to his uncle, King Claudius.
Hamlet is a complex and psychologically nuanced character who struggles with existential questions about death, revenge, and the meaning of life. The play explores themes of revenge, mortality, madness, and corruption, as Hamlet grapples with the decisions he must make and the consequences that will follow.
Throughout the play, Hamlet interacts with a cast of dynamic and multi-faceted characters, including King Claudius, Queen Gertrude, Ophelia, and Horatio, each of whom plays an important role in the unfolding drama. Hamlet's relationships with these characters, and his inner turmoil, drive the narrative forward and lead to the play's tragic conclusion.
Hamlet was written during the reign of King James I and the Renaissance and reflects the ideas and values of this time, including a renewed interest in classical literature and a focus on humanistic values. It has had a profound impact on theater and literature, and continues to be widely performed and studied. Its complex characters, timeless themes, and memorable language have made it a classic of English literature, and its legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists, writers, and thinkers.

:-“Mac Flecknoe; or, A satyr upon the True-Blew-Protestant Poet, T.S.” was a lampoon by John Dryden against the poet laureate Thomas Shadwell who superseded him in 1669.
Mac means ‘son of’. So, MacFlecknoe means ‘Son of Flecknoe’, while the word ‘True-Blew’ means an extreme ‘Whig Blue’ which was the colour of the Tories.
Richard Flecknoe (c. 1600 – 1678) was an English dramatist and poet. His works were praised by some critics and derided by others. Why John Dryden used his name to ridicule and satirize Thomas Shadwell, his contemporary and one time friend who later became an enemy, is not clear. Flecknoe was a minor poet having religious inclinations and most of his writings were private writings. So, Dryden calling him ‘the monarch of absolute nonsense’ was similar to Iago’s ‘motive hunting of a motiveless malignity’. Thomas Shadwell was called the ‘son and successor’ of Flecknoe’.

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.
