It is intended to complement existing national judicial systems.

The International Criminal Court (ICC), governed by the Rome Statute, is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. It is not part of the UN system. Nuremberg trials, Tokyo trials and later the criminal tribunals for Rawanda and Yugoslavia served as a precursor to set up the ICC. The ICC is a court of last resort. It will not act if a case is investigated or prosecuted by a national judicial system unless the national proceedings are not genuine, for example if formal proceedings were undertaken solely to shield a person from criminal responsibility. In addition, the ICC only tries those accused of the gravest crimes. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a specialised organ of the United Nations. It is also focused on human rights and can take up criminal matters. However, it settles legal disputes between the states (and not individuals) and is founded on UN Charter (Statute of ICJ) of 1945. The UNSC is not an adjudicating body. It is mandated with monitoring world situation which threaten international peace and take appropriate measures for its resolution. Under the Rome Statute, the UNSC has the power to recommend cases to ICC in which the court could not otherwise exercise jurisdiction. There is no such multilateral, treaty based body as International Centre for Dispute Resolution(ICDR), It is an alternative dispute resolution body of a private non-profit American Arbitration Association.

The saintly devotees of Shiva are known as Nayanmar (Nayanar). There are 63 of them. The activities of these devotees differ, but the one thing in common is their intense love for the Lord. They followed different ways of praying the God and led different kinds of life styles – brahmacharyam, grihastam, vanaprastam, sanyasam. Their traditional work (akin to caste system) too differed - reciting Vedha, farmer, potter,cobbler and so on. Some of them were highly learned while some others excelled with their simple devotion though not learned in any scriptures (Kannappar). Some of them were kings (Pukazch chozar) and some others didn't even have even a house to live in (Thirumular). They all excelled in their own way - single minded devotion to Shiva. Alvars: The Azhwars came from diverse caste groups and lived between 5th and 9th Century in southern India. They are great devotees of Lord Vishnu, especially Ranghanatha. They composed beautiful devotional poetry in his praise. Their individual compositions were later compiled into a single scripture by the name "Divya Prabhandam".

Yoga literally means the union of the two principal entities. The origin of yoga is found in yogasutra of patanjali believed to have been written in the second century BC.
By purifying and controlling changes in the mental mechanism, yoga systematically brings about the release of purusha from prakriti. Yogic techniques control the body, mind and sense organs. Thus this philosophy is also considered a means of achieving freedom or mukti.
This freedom could be attained by practising self-control (yama), observation of rules (niyama), fixed postures (asana), breath control (pranayama), choosing an object (pratyahara) and fixing the mind (dharna), concentrating on the chosen object (dhyana) and complete dissolution of self, merging the mind and the object (Samadhi).
Yoga admits the existence of God as a teacher and guide.

The minors who have attained 10 years of age, would be allowed to open and operate savings bank accounts independently. "Banks may, however, keeping in view their risk management systems, fix limits in terms of age and amount up to which minors may be allowed to operate the deposit accounts independently," the RBI said. Further, the banks can also decide on the minimum documents which are required for opening of accounts by minors.

InvITs are designed to get tax benefits and will collect funds for investments in infrastructure projects, including PPP (public-private partnership). InvITs can be listed on the stock exchanges, Sebi said. The proposed holding of an InvIT in the underlying assets shall be a minimum R500 crore and the offer size of the InvIT shall not be less then R250 crore at the time of initial offer of units.
The guidelines state that a designated sponsor with a minimum net worth of R10 core (if it is a body corporate or a company), or minimum net tangible assets of R10 crore (in case it is a Limited Liability Partnership) will be eligible for InvITs, Sebi said.
Moreover, in the case where a sponsor is a developer, he must possess minimum experience of five years and at least two projects having achieved financial closure.

A cracker (also known as a black hat hacker) is an individual with extensive computer knowledge whose purpose is to breach or bypass internet security or gain access to software without paying royalties. The general view is that, while hackers build things, crackers break things. Cracker is the name given to hackers who break into computers for criminal gain; whereas, hackers can also be internet security experts hired to find vulnerabilities in systems. These hackers are also known as white hat hackers. Crackers’ motivations can range from profit, a cause they believe in, general maliciousness or just because they like the challenge. They may steal credit card numbers, leave viruses, destroy files or collect personal information to sell.
Crackers can also refer to those who reverse engineer software and modify it for their own amusement.

The central obstacle to the drafting of a constitution was the inability to resolve what was now called the ‘communal question’, in other words the place of minority communities, specifically Muslims. in an independent India. Prospects for unity had seemed positive at the end of 1927, when the different strands of political opinion had come together to oppose the Simon Commission. Jinnah had left Congress over differences with Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation campaign. In 1927, now a representative of Muslim concerns, Jinnah persuaded other Muslim leaders to accept a compromise. In what came to be known as the Delhi Muslim Proposals. They agreed to give up separate electorates—a keystone of Muslim constitutional politics since 1909—if three things could be guaranteed: one- third Muslim representation in the central assembly representation in proportion to population in the Muslim-majority provinces of Punjab and Bengal, and the creation of three new Muslim-majority provinces in Sind, Baluchistan, and the North West Frontier. The All India Congress Committee in May 1927 and the Madras Congress session in December accepted Jinnah’s proposal, but Hindu Mahasabha members opposed it.
