Domain Names Disputes
In simple terms a domain name is the address of a website over the internet. It’s similar to the name of our house in the real world. We all know that the computer understands only the language of the Bits, i.e. of the numbers. Therefore, even the address of a website is also essentially a series of numbers and called as the ip address
Computer science has evolved with the development of codingof the coding languages that are human understandable. In fact, these days it’s also possible to execute many of the computing activities without even knowing the coding languages. In the same way, the numeric IP Addresses also transformed from numbers to human languages and predominantly most of these names are in English.
Magna Carta
Magna Carta was a small term peace deal sealed eight centuries ago by the King of England to buy himself time in a power struggle with some his landowning nobles. King John recognized that, if he did not agree to the baron’s demands, then at best he might be deposed. He might even be killed. Previous kings of England have often given undertakings that would behave well but there was no procedure other than rebellion for ensuring a king to kept to his word. But Magna Carta has been recognized through time and around much of the world as something more than 800 years old curiosity. It has become an idea.

After establishing Chandragupta as the emperor and protect the kingdom Chankya, an outstanding scholar wrote “ArthaShastra” an epic that cover broad verity of subjects from economics, strategy and administration at a very minute detail. ArthaShastra also covered land management, governance and agricultural practices.
