Hindu
Hindu, The historical and etymological genesis of the word 'Hindu' has given rise to a controversy amongst ideologists; but the view generally accepted by scholars appears to be that the word 'Hindu' is derived from the river Sindhu otherwise known as Indus which flows from the Punjab. 'That part of the great Aryan race', says Monier Williams, 'which immigrated from Central Asia, through the mountain passes into India, settled first in the districts near the river Sindhu (now called the Indus). The Persians pronounced this word Hindu and named their Aryan brethren Hindus. The Greeks, who probably gained their first ideas of India from the Persians, dropped the hard aspirate, and called the Hindus 'Indoi'. ('Hindulsm' by Monler Williams, p.1.)'. The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, Vol. VI, has described 'Hinduism' as the title applied to that form of religion which prevails among the vast majority of the present population of the Indian Empire (p. 686). As Dr. Radhakrishnan has obs...
big bang theory
The theory that the known universe originated in an explosive event the big bang in which all of the matter and energy of the universe was contained in a single point and began to rapidly expand and evolve starting as high energy particles and radiation and as it cooled over time evolving into ordinary subatomic particles atoms and then stars and galaxies According to this theory the four dimensional space time continuum which we perceive as our universe continues to expand to the present time but it is unknown whether the expansion will continue indefinitely or eventually stop or even reverse possibly leading to a contraction to a single point sometimes referred to as the ldquobig crunchrdquo The competing ldquoSteady state Theoryrdquo gradually lost favor in the 1980s and 1990s See also big bang...

Precedent
Precedent, a decision is a precedent of its own features. Further, the enunciation of the reason or principle on which a question before a court has been decided is alone binding as a precedent, Uttaranchal Road Transport Corporation v. Mansaram Nainwal, (2000) 6 SCC 366.A precedent acquirers added authority from lapse of time, the longer a precedent has remained unquestioned, the more hard it becomes to reverse it. The courts has to adopt a construction of law, which would inevitably result in upsetting titles long founded on the contrary view, Pratap Bahadur Sahi v. Lakshmidhar Singh, AIR 1946 PC 189: 73 IA 231; Vijaya Charari v. Khubchand, AIR 1964 SC 1099.Precedent, are not an immutable dogma.
