The recent move by Uttarakhand to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India has sparked a debate on the need for reforms in Hindu personal laws. Critics believe that achieving true equality under a UCC requires addressing the existing inequities within Hindu personal laws related to inheritance, guardianship, and divorce. Before pushing for uniformity across all religions, it is essential to ensure that the UCC promotes justice and fairness for all citizens. The discussion around UCC is seen as a step towards secular progress, but many argue that a credible and effective UCC must first focus on reforming Hindu laws to set a strong foundation for uniformity. This debate highlights the complexities and challenges in achieving a UCC that upholds the principles of equality and justice while respecting the diversity of personal laws in India.
