That could be love jihad, which would be applied only against the Muslim. So much for uniformity. Their use of Islamic terminology has an obvious intent to mock and implies a religious motive.Yes ugly Hindu men will marry 4 beautiful Muslim women from higher caste and Muslim men will marry 4 ugly Hindu women
Hmm ironic.. India has diverse cultures with many gods . Why try to apply one faith one god in this landThat could be love jihad, which would be applied only against the Muslim. So much for uniformity. Their use of Islamic terminology has an obvious intent to mock and implies a religious motive.
The US gives rights to religious practise and outlaws religious discrimination. Recently, a city council in America allowed Azaan on a loudspeaker. And, Trump had to say he isn't speaking against American Muslims.
Harmony is created by accepting diversity and human rights. Uniformity is promoted in totalitarian societies like North Korea.
Some can cover their heads with a turban, but others can't cover theirs with a scarf. What an irony.Hmm ironic.. India has diverse cultures with many gods . Why try to apply one faith one god in this land
You are helping me make two essential points.Not sure what these are, but we should do away with those 2 too.m and make one rule for all.
Think of Bengali Shakta people reacting to upcountry, UP or Bihari bhaiyyas chanting Jai Sri Ram in Bengal when the elections were going on, of Modi getting onto the rostrum, and groaning aloud in mockery, "Didieeeeeeeeee, O Didieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Then think how the elections went, how the voting went.Hmm ironic.. India has diverse cultures with many gods . Why try to apply one faith one god in this land
And can you see what that has done to the demographics of the PRC?I do strongly support 2 child policy,
and a man can marry a woman only.... A man can marry another woman only after she dies or the divorce papers is signed.
? I don't think you understood my point. Anyways the turban is different because it's an intrinsic part of their religion. my last post on this.Some can cover their heads with a turban, but others can't cover theirs with a scarf. What an irony.
Why not force every male to wear a turban in exactly the same style for the sake of uniformity. That way everyone will be a clone of the other, feeling exactly the same way, so happy, very happy, very, very happy, singing and clapping in unison like in North Korea.

Do you realise that it would be a damn' good thing for governments to get out of thinking for its citizens, to get out of deciding what emotions are appropriate, what clothing is appropriate, what speech is apparent, and what manner of interaction is appropriate?

Are you saying Jinnah was against equality?
He said equality was impossible in India with a Hindu majority with the history of South Asia
If we are to live in a truly unified and harmonious society, where each person is treated equally, accepting and enforcing a UCC is the need of the hour.
All the ethnic Indian issues exist because of the caste system and because it was foolish to organize states along linguistic lines instead of creating a decentralized, participatory democracy system and using this to create scientifically-drawn districts and doing mass exchanges of population among the different districts thus gradually or immediately erasing clanism, khaap panchaayats, language monopolies, sub-sect monopolies, regionalism and settled religious community oppression including honor killing. This erasure and change to the level of every individual. Participatory democracy will have instilled social responsibility in every individual. Thus enabling real national integration, harmony.
The Uniform Civil Code isn’t merely a political agenda. It caters to India’s unification with a structural change in society to facilitate gender equality. The UCC can be regarded as being against the idea of divisive politics, which has always been the prime agenda of colonial design.
He believes women need male protection from birth to death and their ‘energy/power’ should be regulated or controlled, lest it become worthless and destructive.
He adds the shastras say that a woman is protected in her childhood by her father, by her husband in her youth and by her son in her old age — so that way a woman is not capable of being left free or independent.
The UCC will ensure empowerment of women in true sense by ending the practice of polygamy, which is currently permitted under Islamic law and is highly unfair and discriminatory to women.
The above text is taken from this thread of mine from 2015 whose OP is by that activist. Please read the OP and the discussion there to see the full context.Married Muslim women, we find, are often on a higher and more secure footing than their counterparts from other religions. In fact, as a Christian marrying a Muslim, I chose to marry under the Muslim personal law, even over the seemingly modern Special Marriage Act, 1954, to better secure my economic rights. My mehr was a house in my name and my nikahnama includes necessary clauses to safeguard my and my children’s rights. My husband’s family members were witness to this document, which is registered and enforceable by law.
Dr B.R. Ambedkar had pioneered the cause of gender equality, which led him to create the UCC in the 1950s. He was always a staunch and ardent supporter of the UCC. Followed by stiff opposition from religious conservatives, he had to retreat and re-strategise the bill.
WAQF board needs to be disbanded.
Good idea.
So now every male member of society can marry 4 women?

First, these things shouldn't be discussed or raised, without people discussing or raising them having adequate knowledge about the matter.
