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.
