From time and again Indian Media, Citizens of India and It’s politics has dancing around the concept of 'Uniform Civil Code'. The trending tag #UniformCivilCode the news flashes around it tell a story. A story of failure, a story of nonsensical stands and oblivious judgements! The Art. 44 of the Indian Constitution lays down an important directive principle of state policy, namely, that the state shall endeavour to secure for its citizens, a Uniform Civil Code throughout the territory of India. However the Constitution contradicts itself! Stating in Art. 37 that 'Directive principles (similar to Art. 44) are not enforceable by any court although they are Fundamental in Governance of country.' The time being now our government and legislation is governed by personal laws of us citizens. Meaning each religious groups having its own take on common practices like Marriage, Divorce, Adoption and Succession based on their beliefs. For example The practice of monogamy for Majority I.e. Hindus and practice of Polygamy for minorities I.e. Muslims !! The suggestions made in Art. 44 are fairly simple, making an Integrated code of conduct respecting all personal codes i.e. Hindu Law, Muhammadan Law, Christian Law, The Parsi Law so on and so forth, but making all Individuals irrespective of Beliefs & Customs he practices stand on common ground for legal consideration! Former governing party of India Congress issued a press release stating that the issue of Uniform Civil Code being 'sensitive' one they would like to discuss all possibilities with experts and fellow parties. This is what exposes the Dirty hidden agenda of appeasement they’ve used for years!! I’m not against them but appeasing few social groups for own ‘Political’ gain is just wrong!! I stand against that!! The so called Secular people and their secularist brotherhood (I've typed and erased 'Pseudo' prefix for word secular!!) like all Socialists, Communists are silent on the matter!! This being a matter of key importance in National Integration and I Being a Law student, feel obligated to present my #LucidAngle on the matter So I’ve decided to Blog about it for days to come in a series to address the matter in deep!!
