The recent move by Uttarakhand to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has sparked a debate on the need for reform within Hindu personal law in India. While the UCC is seen as a step towards secularism and equality, critics argue that true equality can only be achieved by addressing the existing inequities within Hindu personal laws. Issues such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce need to be reformed within Hindu law to ensure that the UCC promotes justice rather than mere assimilation. The call for a credible UCC highlights the importance of first reforming Hindu personal laws to create a solid foundation for a uniform code that truly upholds equality and justice in India.
