Uniform Civil Code
The Prime Minister batting for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, which is a multi-religious country, is provocative and one more sign of the government’s authoritarian nature of governance. The country’s demography is equally shared by Muslims, Christians and Hindus as well as others. The unique feature of India is that the people live in unity amidst diversity on the socio-economic and religious fronts. What is baffling is why the ruling dispensation seems to be working at speed to have a UCC thrust on the people. Are the floodgates of trouble being opened?
