Corporation or body politic
Corporation or body politic, an artificial person es-tablished for preserving in perpetual succession certain rights, which being conferred on natural persons only would fail in process of time. It is either aggegate, consisting of many members, or sole, consisting of one person only, as a parson. It is also either spiritual, created to perpetuate the rights of the Church, or lay'sub-divided into civil, created for many temporal purposes, and eleemosynary, to perpetuate founders' charities. It is by virtue of the sovereign's prerogative exercised by a charter, or of an Act of Parliament, or of prescription, that the artificial personage called a corporation, whether sole or aggregate, civil or ecclesiastical, is created. The royal charter gives it a legal immortality, and a name by which it acts and becomes known. It has power to make bye-laws for its own government, and transacts its business under the authority of a common seal-its hand and mouthpiece; it has neither soul nor tangibl...

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...
