70+ years after independence, but India still does not have a Uniform Civil Code. Dharmic religions laws – those of Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists and even for Christians have been codified but not Muslim law. The Supreme Court noted that “the founders of the Constitution wanted a Uniform Civil Code, and Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar tried hard – but faced many obstacles.

Interestingly, only in Goa, due to historical reasons, has a uniform civil code applicable to all, regardless of religion. As a result, polygamy is not permitted, married couples share property equally, and in the event of divorce, assets are equally divided between man and woman.

Time has come for India to debate and develop a uniform civil code for all, the same is the practice in all developed countries.

In 1989-90, with Rajiv Gandhi as PM and Farooq Abdullah as CM, 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs & Others FACED GENOCIDE - were slaughtered or forced to leave Kashmir overnight. "The Kashmir Files" shows only a small part of this. Should a Kashmir Genocide Law be made and the atrocities be fully investigated?

आपकी राय

1989-90 में, राजीव गांधी के प्रधान मंत्री और फारूक अब्दुल्ला के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में, 400,000 कश्मीरी पंडितों, सिखों और अन्य लोगों को नरसंहार का सामना करना पड़ा - या तो रातों-रात कश्मीर छोड़ने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा । "द कश्मीर फाइल्स" इसका एक छोटा सा हिस्सा ही दिखाता है। क्या कश्मीर में हुए नरसंहार पर कानून बनाया जाना चाहिए और अत्याचारों की पूरी जांच होनी चाहिए?
