AS in one country, one law. Very cute. Who can disagree with that? But the devil, as they say, is in the details. Here is an excerpt from a recent interview with Palkhivala, arguably the man who knows the most about Indian Constitution. " As regards a Uniform Civil Code, it is the ideal which India should enact. There can be equally no doubt that in trying to reach the ideal at this stage, the country runs a greater risk of being disintegrated. First, the minorities like the Muslims would think that it is an attempt to make them subject to the rules and regulations which apply to Hindus. Secondly, even among Hindus the same jurisprudence does not apply to the entire community because there are some who are governed by the Mitakshara school, and others who are governed by the Dayabhaga school. Clear proof of usage will outweigh the written text of the law. Thirdly, even in one community you will not be able to have a Uniform Civil Code. How can you have such a Code for all the communities at one stroke? It was impossible to have one or two states enact a Uniform Civil Code as was envisaged, some time earlier, to be done in Gujarat and Maharashtra. It would be very difficult to do so for the whole country." So, other than getting some ignoramuses worked up, all the talk about Uniform Civil Code is just hot air. Dipy.
