India needs a common civil code !

India needs a common civil code, i.e., whether it is birth control or right to do business or right to marriage or restriction on number of wives or right to divorce or right to purchase property or right to education or right to employment or right to religious freedom, everybody in India irrespective of their location, caste, community, gender, etc. should be governed by the SAME LAW. All are equal before law. But IS THE LAW EQUAL FOR ALL ? The Civil Law is not. So we need a Common Civil Code. What does the Indian Constitution say ?

Quote
44. Uniform civil code for the citizens.- The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.
Unquote
So, it is the duty of the Indian Government to implement a Common Civil Code in India. And if any Government functionary or MLA or MP speaks against Common Civil Code, that person defaults on his promise of allegiance to the Indian Constitution.

Mahesh Bhatt has gone to the extent of filing a case in the Supreme Court on this. (Not so) surprisingly, these torch-bearers of artistic liberty and 'fundamental rights' have not raised their voice against TN, AP, Meghalaya and even the Central Govt. Nor were they supporting the 'freedom of expression' of the cartoonists in the Prophet issue. (I do not mean that there is nothing objectionable in these). What is more noteworthy in these issues is : The exhibitors' association of Gujarat has decided not to screen 'Fanaa'. (The opposition to the movie came from the youth wings of BJP & Congress in Gujarat; but Aamir Khan chose to hit at BJ

Sethu Samudram Project - Objectivity Required !

There is a lot of heat in India on the Sethu Samudram Project, because of the public outcry on the demolition of a revered structure by the project's alignment. This structure (off the coast of Rameswaram) is called 'Rama Sethu' by the believers and Adam's Bridge by the archaeological documents (most of which were written during the British occupation of India). The traditional Indian belief is that this structure is a bridge that was built by Shri Rama to cross over to Sri Lanka where his wife Devi Sita was held captive by the demon King Raavana. This belief has its roots in the Ramayana . (This post was written a few months back in response to the fanatic anti-Hindu arguments which are put forth by the supporters of the project) NASA clearly says that this structure is in existence for centuries. It also says that the origin of these structures can not be ascertained by its photography. Which means that there is no verdict on whether this is a natural formation or a m
