The concept of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has long stood at the intersection of law, religion, and politics in India. Enshrined as a directive principle in Article 44 of the Constitution, the UCC represents a vision of legal uniformity in matters of personal law—marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, and maintenance—regardless of an individual’s religion. Yet, despite its constitutional mandate, the UCC remains one of the most debated an
The concept of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has long stood at the intersection of law, religion, and politics in India. Enshrined as a directive principle in Article 44 of the Constitution, the UCC represents a vision of legal uniformity in matters of personal law—marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, and maintenance—regardless of an individual’s religion. Yet, despite its constitutional mandate, the UCC remains one of the most debated and contentious issues in Indian jurisprudence and public discourse.This book is a scholarly exploration of the idea, intent, and implications of the UCC. It seeks to trace its historical roots from colonial codifications to post-independence debates, examining the sociopolitical contexts that have shaped its trajectory. Through a critical lens, it investigates the challenges posed by India’s pluralistic society, the fear of cultural erasure among minority communities, and the balancing act between uniformity and diversity.

The evidence in each and every case needs to be considered from the view point truthfulness and its inherent capability of inspiring confidence in the mind of the judge to accept it or not. There cannot be a prosecution case with cast iron perfection in all respects and it is obligatory for the court to analyze, sift and assess the evidence on record, with particular reference to its trustworthiness and truthfulness.

The evidence in each and every case needs to be considered from the view point truthfulness and its inherent capability of inspiring confidence in the mind of the judge to accept it or not. There cannot be a prosecution case with cast iron perfection in all respects and it is obligatory for the court to analyze, sift and assess the evidence on record, with particular reference to its trustworthiness and truthfulness. The judicial scrutiny has to be a dispassionate process of adopting an objective and reasonable appreciation of the same. Evidence must be tested for its inherent consistency and inherent probability of the story, consistency with the account of other witnesses held to be creditworthy.
Each case presents its own peculiarities, and common sense and shrewdness must be brought to bear upon the facts of each case. The judge has to weigh and decide. Neither The Indian Evidence Act nor any other lays down any rule as to the weight to be attached to the evidence when admitted, nor is any such rule possible for proper appreciation of evidence is a matter of experience, common sense and knowledge of human affairs. The question depends upon so many circumstances that it is impossible to lay down hard and fast rules. It has been left to the 21court to decide whether the evidence should be believed or not and if believed what weight should be attached to it or what effect should be given to it these matters have been left at the
sound discretion of the court.

Industrial Revolution in the early years of the 19th century was one of the major turning points in the history of civilization. Man’s ability to make use of resources for improving the lives of fellow men was one of the drivers which led to this revolution. As time went, the industrial output and the multiplicity and intricacy of products increased. This increase has continued and it fills our lives with innumerable objects of desire and luxury, along with the daily human requirements. Along with this revolution, there was a cultural revolution in the way people lived. Industrial units and related activities provided the masses with employment and a means of growth and development.

The Indian society is characterized by a high degree of inequality based on the tenets of the caste system and this caste system is highly exclusionary in nature. Exclusion is integral to the system and thus a consequence of its basic features. Social exclusion between caste groups is ensured through the practices of endogamy and social separation.

The Indian society is characterized by a high degree of inequality based on the tenets of the caste system and this caste system is highly exclusionary in nature. Exclusion is integral to the system and thus a consequence of its basic features. Social exclusion between caste groups is ensured through the practices of endogamy and social separation. In retrospect every caste except those at the top of the caste hierarchy has suffered from unequal and hierarchal assignment of rights. The erstwhile oppression people having been located at the bottom of the caste hierarchy are the ones who suffered the most. For instance, apart from manual labour and some occupations that were considered impure and polluting the erstwhile deprived communities were denied the right to do business or own property. They were even denied the right to education and civil cultural and religious rights.
