The Indian constitution enjoins the state to enforce a uniform civil code. However, the  Indian state has so far flouted this. On the contrary, some Hindus have stated that enforcing this statute will mean that Hindus want to convert Muslims. It must be noted that NO Muslim has stated this argument. I have a question as there is the extreme reluctance to tamper with Sharia then why not scrap this proviso in the constitution? This will also gladden hearts of many Hindus who want that constitution be not followed.I have however a flip side to this and that is that constitution must be upheld and I am sure if a uniform personal code is enforced the Muslims will accept it. In any case, the constitution is made for India and not for only Muslims or Hindus. India has the dubious distinction in the world of being the ONLY country allowing separate personal law for a section of people. I throw this topic for discussion

 Following someone is not a crime. But while following ignoring, the biggest of the scams happening under one's nose and always busy in singing the Bhajans about one's bosses and Lady Bosses is an unpardonable crime of the highest order.

Who has given you and your likes the authority and mandate to condemn any one without proof and evidence. Why are you in a perennial mode of a judge passing judgements left and right based on your bias. How can you do so when agencies are still gathering evidence. It is tis aspect that I write against. A jaundiced eye sees it as singing Bhajans and as usual again you have passed a judgement. Old habits die hard.

As far as I know, my health is good and sound. Free from Jaundice.

Of course. I could follow you.As far as my beliefs and attitude are concerned, they are purely personal. No body has the right to talk about them.

But these are coming out in forum posts posted by you. You yourself are talking about them.

Sir, nothing is personal when comes in public domain. When you express your views on forum, these become property of the site and so can be commented upon by any one. You are also free to comment on others' views. By exchange of views, our outlook is broadened and we appreciate each other. No views are rigid. During course of discussion, views can change also. I have also some views. These are personal. But if I write here, you can comment. May be you convince me and my views are changed. similarly, yours can also be changed.  No personal prestige is at stake in such expression/ exchange of views. The only requirement is that we should remain polite in spite of differences.

Agreed. When I express my views on a particular issue, the other member (s) should not take to the personal level. And others should not force his or her opinions on the member. If You can have a look at the  previous responses, you can understand .

 

 

Modi had an excellent chance but he never moved one inch on civil code or article 370. I wish he had shown same zeal as he is showing in implementing Aadhar card.

What exactly can be done when they have no majority in the Rajya Sabha ? Just blaming Modi is unfair since the issue is very much alive in all BJP supporters but they cannot take it forward unless they have the majority support to pass it in both the houses

Nobody is blaming Modi . all I am stating is that what he talked has remained talk only. He could have introduced UCC bill in the house. He has not opened his mouth on it. Ditto with article 370. Modi has failed at the bar of history.he is a man who  did not move even an inch on these matters.

The constitution is there to be followed. Even if the Congress failed to follow it for narrow political gains yet Modi could have done it. To talk that he has no majority in both houses is a lame excuse. What steps Modi took in 4 years?

The way I look at it , as things move forward , it would become very essential to implement uniform civil code or else there would be chaos in this changed atmosphere where the people especially the majority community is unwilling to take them ngs lying down. More importantly it is the most democratic set up there is ..
