UNIFORM CIVIL CODE AND ITS HISTORY

  India has number of laws when it comes to its personal laws or family laws to be specific. Every religion has their own personal laws be it Christians, Parsis, Hindus or Muslims. Some of these laws are codified some of these are not, some are old and some are new,  needless to say this system has created disharmony and confusion in our family laws  at the present.   India in its Constitution has tried to establish the ideal of secularism and it in that regards is trying achieving the status of Uniform Civil Code in the country. UCC is enshrined under Art. 44 of the Constitution stating “the State shall endeavor to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code (UCC) throughout the territory of India.”.  UCC basically calls for framing of one common law for the whole of India which is applicable to all people irrespective of their religion in matters relating to marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption etc.  UCC would help in laying down protection to the weaker section of the society i

Python a Multi-purpose Programming Language

  Introduction: Python is one of the general purpose high level interpreted programming language that has gained a momentum over the couple of years. It has sought the attention of corporate, academia and the free lancers. It is a Weakly-typed  languages, it means the Python make conversions between unrelated types  implicitly for example when we write var =23, this is automatically assigned into type at runtime. It is also a dynamically -typed language which means that Python do  type checking  (i.e., the process of verifying and enforcing the constraints of types on values at runtime and thus we don't need to use data types to declare variable . Figure-1 shows the different languages that fall under strongly-typed, statically –typed, weakly-typed and dynamically-typed languages. Simplicity: Python is much simpler and easier to learn and also it provides lots of high-level data structures which can be manipulated with inbuilt functionality. Because of this feature and its po

Learning disability: Strategies to deal with cognitive, intellectual disabilities

  Classrooms mirror the diversity of the country – of languages, socio-cultural environments economic and religious backgrounds etc. They are often represented by demanding circumstances like deprived access to / lack of ample information pertaining to health, hygiene, nutrition. It is imperative to keep in mind that these situations also severely impact a child’s development which, in turn, can reflect in how a student attends to and learns in the classroom. Here are the learning needs that we need to focus on, especially those that are related to the influences and impacts on the brain. We come across several students who are not able to learn or articulate their learning. Many of the student behaviour are not a result of sensory, physical or motor impairments. To identify for many of these cognitive and intellectual impairments, a series of appropriate or standardised tests are needed which may either be not available or easily accessible for a large population of children who depe

BLOG ON ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN INDIA

  Intellectual Property may sound like a modern world invention but it has been actually around since the development of civilization. During the early 1800, the idea of a global protection of intellectual property right floated amongst legislative bodies. The history of Intellectual Property Rights, under the international law goes back to 1883 within the adoption of the Paris Convention, 1833 for the protection of Industrial Property. Then, three years later in the 1886, the Berne Convention extended the same protection of the intellectual property to written expressions and within half a year, trademarks were also granted protection in the international realm through the Madrid Protocol. With the adoption of the Madrid agreement, the first international intellectual property filing was launched in 1891 i.e. the Madrid System for the international registration of marks. In 1993, the United International Bureau for the Protection of Intellectual Property (best known by its French acro

BITCOINS AND THE RISK INVOLVED

  What is bitcoin? Bitcoin is basically an open source, peer to peer digital currency. Amidst many other things, what makes bitcoin exceptional and distinctive is the fact that it is the world’s first completely decentralised digital payments system that is to say that it is under no centralized authority. Santoshi Nakamoto in the original whitepaper that he published on bitcoin in 2009 had said that trade and commerce on internet is solely dependent upon financial institutions filling in as trusted third parties in order to process electronic payment . For instance, if X wants to send 1000 INR to Y over internet, he would have had to depend upon a trusted third party like Paypal or Google Wallet. These parties keep a record or ledger of their account holder’s balances and when this third party would send money to Y they would deduct 1000 INR from X’s account balance and would add it to Y’s account. Although this system functions well enough but it has certain limitations like marginal

Rights to Redemption vs Equity of Redemption

  The basic meaning of word Redemption is to redeem or to get back. In the context of Mortgage under the property law in India, this right is a significant right of every mortgagor howsoever the nature of mortgage is. Once the payment of money is made by the debtor on or before the due date, he is eligible for redemption right. Redemption is not only limited to mortgaged property but also the title deeds and important documents related to the property. Whereas, when we talk about equity of redemption which is the base or the source of redemption right, originated in England. Under equity of redemption, the debtor or the mortgagor will be given an extended time period or a reasonable extra time period is given even after due date. The reason for this extension is that whenever a mortgage is executed the intension of the mortgagor is always to let it remain a mortgage and not to be converted into a sale. Therefore, for the protection of his rights this extension may be given to him by th
