Constituent Assembly of India

Part IV of the Constitution of India provides for the Directive Principles of State Policy. Though these principles are non-enforceable but are indispensable in the governance of the country. One such directive principle is given under Article 44 of the Constitution which creates an obligation on the state to enact a Uniform Civil Code. Over the years various directions have been issued by the Supreme Court for its implementation. But, due to excessive politicization, it is still a distant dream. In the absence of a uniform law regarding personal matters like marriage, divorce, adoptions, etc., various personal laws are applicable to different religious communities. These laws find their source and authority in their religious texts and customs which provides for gender discriminatory practices. The paper aims to achieve a balance between Right to Freedom of Religion and Right to Equality by segregating the 'essential religious practices' and 'secular activities'.The need of the hour is to enact a Uniform Civil Code but that should be done slowly and gradually after making the people especially the minorities, aware about its scope and extent.

K K e desire for fusion or the desire to murder constitute the double modality of an essential trouble that agitates us in our nitude. To swallow, or to annihilate others-and yet at the same time wanting to maintain them as others, because we also sense the horror of solitude (which is properly the exit from sense, if sense is essentially exchanged or shared).

The Modi government has issued an order to commemorate this historic occasion. It has been forced to do it fearing backlash from the people of India. But the Indian masses must be on guard to ensure that the present Hindutva rulers of India are unable to destroy our democratic-secular constitution from within. These rulers are master liars and specialize in double/triple speak. They are simultaneously raising questions about secularism, democracy, reservation and justice. On the 66th anniversary of finalization of our Constitution we must pledge to scuttle all attempts to undo this fundamental law of the land.
This article goes back to RSS documents to prove that the Hindutva gang is just waiting for opportune time to destroy our democratic-secular polity.
