INHERITANCE
Inheritance is something that is or may be inherited; property passing at the owner’s death to heir or those entitled to succeed; legacy (will). In India, the inheritance of property is governed by personal laws in case of Hindu and Muslims. In other cases the inheritance may be governed by Indian Succession Act, 1925.
Inheritance under Muslim Law and Gender Inequality
Inheritance is an important branch of the family law of the Muslims. Death of a person brings a transfer of rights to his heirs and representatives. These rights include all rights to property, usufruct, and dependent rights, such as debts and legacies, rights to compensation etc. and the transmissible obligations are those capable of being satisfied out of the estate of the deceased. What is left after the payment of funeral expenses and the discharge of his debts and obligations, and distribution as per will (legacy) is to be distributed according to the law of inheritance.
The canon law of Islam is Shariat and the basic source of Shariat is the Quran. The Quran is not a book of law but is connected with the conduct of law. Till 1937 Muslims in India were governed by customary law which was highly unjust. After the Shariat Act of 1937 Muslims in India came to be governed in their personal matters, including property rights, by Muslim personal law as it “restored” personal law in preference to custom. The Shariat Act deals with the enforcement of the personal law rather than the laws

The British also ingrained a fair trading system between India and British. Some may claim that it was not fair because the Indian textiles were getting sold less and less. From 1790 and so on the sales of Indian textiles progressively declined (Doc. 6).
The rise of Islam changed many rules and laws. Soldiers, fighters, and people followed the basic laws of Islam. Arab merchants came to India to trade and spread its culture. The Arab Empire

Elizabethan Death and Burial Rituals The differences between the Elizabethan era and the modern era vary in a multitude of ways.

The caste system is a hierarchy in the Hindu religion that limits one's opportunities to the particular caste you are born into with no possibility of social mobility in a single lifetime. Both karma, the action and result, and dharma, which describes a person's religious and moral obligations, are related to the caste system and reincarnation.

The Dalits were treated very harshly while other social classes received fair treatment.

Inheritance is important to oop because it allows a new class to be created from an existing class. The base class, which is the existing class, is able to share some of its basic features with the new class that is known as subclass. This enables the subclass to use the base class as, for example, a blueprint for what it would like to do which means the subclass does not need to 're-write its own method each time it wants to expand and add its own features. For example, the base class is the blueprint of a building, the subclasses use this blueprint and expand into different types of buildings from the basic features they have inherited (ie bungalow or hotel). This also means that the base class can choose what the subclasses inherit by hiding
The right to die, or euthanasia, is when a person makes a request to be helped to die. Mainly for terminally ill patients who want a good death without pain. (Manning, 1998) The patient self-administers the lethal dose prescribed by a physician. (Foley and Hendin, 2002)
There are many different societies in our world today, and each of these communities treat and group their people differently. While some places, like the United States, do not have set groups, others, like India, have very strict laws about what each class can and cannot do. The Caste system in India is a great example of how one society strictly groups their members. The Caste system is a class structure that is determined at birth.

If you go outside, you must be accompanied by a mahram, a male relative.
The definition of right to die according to Cambridge Dictionary is “Right to die is the belief that a person should be allowed to die naturally rather than being kept alive by medical methods when they are suffering and unlikely to get well (Cambridge Dictionary).” While other websites have definition for right to die, some don’t have a definition because they claim that there is not definition for it.

The spread of Islam had been exceptional since widespread conversion in Southeast Asia started in the 13th century. As Islam continues to grow in present times, it potentially holds great political power over unlimited territory; Islam may eventually hold vast power over our society. Hence, this paper aims to discuss the use of Islam as a political tool and the use of politics in Islam using Indonesia as a key reference. As the process of Indianisation was concluded with the coming of Islam, the cultural heritage of Hinduism is reduced, and eventually, Hinduism will become heritage.
