Title	:	Legal Aspect of Jain Religion as separate entity
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Vaibhav Jain, Sanjay Jain

Abstract:Voltaire once expressed his belief in the following words, "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Jain's should not be cover under the realm (or judge under the) of Hindu laws (the laws which apply to Hindus and which consist of set of laws which are related to personal matters). Intellectualism however plays an important role in this regard, as the outsider's perception; it is the perspective form which one may see and observe that which insider player cannot notice, realize and recognize; for the latter are captivated by their own views, beliefs and assumption; they are hostages of their own world. In this paper, we are not interested in lecturing the meaning of Jainism, nor we aiming to analyze legislators thinking and decision in any case,

Title	:	"The Role of Judicial Activism in the Implementation and Promotion of Constitutional Laws and Influence of Judicial Overactivism"
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Vipin Kumar (NET, M.Phil.),
	:	10.9790/0837-19242025

Abstract: Judicial activism is today one of the most misused constitutional terms. India practices constitutionaldemocracy with emphasis on constitutionalism. This comes with it to high rates of political activities with misuse of political powers granted in the Constitution by the political actors. Naturally, the court is called upon to wear its active posture and interpret theConstitution as it affects the political class. However, each decision of the courts interpreting the constitution against the political class is met with cries of "judicial activism" from one side of the political spectrum or the other.

Title	:	J.J.C. Smart in Defence of Place's Identity Theory of Mind
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. ShanjenduNath
	:	10.9790/0837-19242629

Abstract:In the history of philosophy different philosophers have extended their efforts to give a solution of mind body problem. In modern period Rene Descartes explained the mind –body problem from the dualistic point of view. Behaviourism, on the other hand, does not believe the existence of mind. This theory emphasises only on behaviour. But none could give a satisfactory solution of the problem. Identity theory of mind also attempted to give a solution from the materialistic point of view. This theory is developed by U.T.Place, J.J.C. Smart,H. Feigl and some other thinkers.

Title	:	Discriminatory Property Inheritance Rights Under The Yoruba And Igbo Customary Law In Nigeria: The Need For Reforms
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Dr Babatunde Adetunji Oni
	:	10.9790/0837-19243043

Abstract: Intestate succession under customary law among the Yoruba and Igbo people in Nigeria is full of discrimination, especially to female, adopted child, illegitimate child among others. This paper highlights some of these forms of discrimination and the dangers inherent in them. The paper discovers that some of these forms of discrimination are against Fundamental Human Rights which frown against discrimination to any persons irrespective of their gender, circumstances of birth or age. The paper suggests necessary reforms to curb some of these identified discrimination.

Title	:	The Nature, Form and Functions of Yoruba Proverbs: A Socio-Pragmatic Perspective
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Osoba, Joseph Babasola, Ph.D
	:	10.9790/0837-19244456

Abstract: This study explicates the nature, form and functions of Yoruba proverbs from a socio-pragmatic perspective. The sample of Yoruba proverbs used in the study was collected at Ile-Ife in Oranmiyan Local Government Area of Oyo State between the 18th and the 22nd of April, 1985(about 29 years ago). A much recent sample of similar proverbs was collected between February 2010 and March 2012 randomly. Two methods used in the collection are (1) tape recording and (2) anonymous observation and note taking. The socio-pragmatic functions of Yoruba proverbs are discussed under (1) Educational Role and (2) Rhetorical Role and (3) Anecdotal Role. Our choice of Yoruba proverbs is predicated on the following: (1) The way and manner Yoruba people used proverbs in their various occasions and situations make them fascinating and appealing and (2) the manner in which socio-pragmatic functions are conveyed through them. Since much research is still needed as regard this aspect of language use, this paper therefore attempts to provide a new intellectual insight into the socio-pragmatic nature, form and functions of Yoruba proverbs used in Ile-Ife, in particular, and other Yoruba towns in general.

Title	:	Relevance Of Ambedkar's Contributions In The Upliftment Of Modern Days Dalits And Women
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Jay Lakshmi
	:	10.9790/0837-19246266

Abstract: Dalits, a modern term for untouchables in India, are underprivileged people in all social, economic, cultural and political fronts of our society which led to their misery, discrimination, exploitation and oppression by the caste dominated social stratification of India. The Constitution of India classifies Dalits as Scheduled Castes (SCs). They are the people who cultivate the land, mend the shoes, wash the clothes, clean the toilets, scavenge the dead animals or unknown human bodies and do all types of menial works, but share the stigmas of untouchability and are frequently denied the chance to eat, smoke and even seat with the members of upper castes. They often use separate wells and tube wells from those maintained for others.
