\nIla<\/b> in the Veda, goddess of revelation; one

\n– "the strong primal Word of Truth who
\ngives us its active vision" (11: 32). In the
\nPuranas, Ila is the daughter of Manu
\n(Human Mind). Manu Vaivasvata instituted
\na sacrifice to Mitra and Varuna for the purpose of obtaining a son; but the officiating
\npriest mismanaged the performance and
\n<\/b>the
\nresult was the birth of a daughter, Ila.
\nThrough the favour of the two deities,
\nhowever, her sex was changed and she
\nbecame a man, Sudyumna. Under the male-
\ndiction of Shiva, Sudyumna was again
\nturned in to a woman and, as Ila, married
\nBUDHA, and gave birth to Pururavas, thus
\nbecoming the mother of the Lunar dynasty.
\nAfter that, by the grace of Vishnu, she once
\nagain became Sudyumna and was the father
\nof three sons. (A;Dow.;I&G) D 3:270

\ndistinctions in India by enabling judges and magistrates who were Indian by
\nbirth to try Europeans, contrary to the provision of the Criminal Procedure Code
\nof 1873 which had enacted that Europeans could be tried only by European judges
\nand magistrates, except in Presidency towns where they could be tried by Indian
\nmagistrates and judges. The Anglo-Indian community carried on so great an
\nagitation against the bill that the Government made some alterations in it, so that the –
\nracial distinction that the Government
\nwanted to remove not only continued but
\nwas extended to Presidency towns. The Ilbert Bill agitation aroused nationalist

\nIndian National Congress or I.N.C., also
\ncalled Congress Party, a broadly based
\npolitical party that dominated the Indian
\nmovement for independence from Great
\nBritain and formed India’s government in
\nthe years after 1946. The Indian National
\nCongress was founded in 1885 by A. 0.
\nHume, a retired English member of the
\nI.C.S. The earlier objective of the Congress
\nwas to get a few more posts for the Indians
\nin the services and thus a greater share in the
\nadministration of the country. (Enc. Br.;<\/font><\/p>\n

\nEnc. Ind.) [Note: After 1969 the Congress split
\ninto a number of factions. Of them the most active and powerful today is the Congress (I), "I" standing for Indira Gandhi,
\nwho organized it. The word "Congress" is

\nIndra
\n<\/b>the Hindu god of the firmament. In the Vedas he stands in the first rank of the
\ngods. In the Rigveda<\/i> the highest divine
\nfunctions and attributes are ascribed to him.
\nHe is the ruler of our being, the Master of
\nthe world of Light and Immortality (Swar),
\nthe divine Mind, the devata of<\/i> the under-
\nstanding and manas.<\/i> In later mythology
\nIndra has fallen into the second rank. He is
\ninferior to the Triad, but he is the chief of all
\nthe other gods. He governs the weather and
\ndispenses the rain. His weapon is the thunder-
\nbolt. Indra’s names are many, including
\nMaghavan and Shakra. (Dow.; I & G)

\nJew<\/b> (Hebrew "Yehudi") originally, of
\nJudah, either a member of the tribe of Judah, or a native of the subsequent
\nkingdom of Judah (in contrast to the rival kingdom of Israel to the north). The
\nJewish people as a whole, initially called Hebrews, were known as ISRAELITES
\nfrom the time of their entrance into the Holy Land to the end of the Babylonian Exile (538 ac). Thereafter, the term
\nYehudi signified all adherents of Judaism. In
\nthe modern world a definition of "Jew" satisfactory to all is virtually impossible, for it
\ninvolves ethnic and religious issues that are
\nboth complex and controversial. In daily life,
\nfor example, those who consider themselves
\nJews are generally accepted as such by Jews
\nand non-Jews alike, even though such
\npersons may not observe religious practices.
\nFrom a purely religious standpoint. Gentile
\nconverts to Judaism are accepted as Jewish
\nin the fullest sense of the word, but orthodox
\nJudaism extends full rights only to those
\nconverted to orthodoxy. (Enc. Br.) Der: Jewish (= Judaic) n l: 412,740,802
