A Uniform Civil Code - by Mark Richard (Vivek)

Discussions on Indian politics seem to deteriorate into abstractions rather than issues.

I am a Hindu living in a Christian society. I am happy living in a Christian society. Why? Because the Christian society in America has provided a freedom from religious persecution that few nations have achieved, which

India can only currently hope for.

America is built on Christian values without imposing Christianity on anyone. We have one constitution with no special provisions. We have a unified law code that applies to all.

Muslims around the world have made an effort to set up provisions for Sharia law in western nations. I haven’t kept up much with the debates, but this was proposed and debated in

Canada, that Muslims be ruled according to a Sharia code, an alternate system of justice set up by the Canadian government.

I do not favor Sharia law in

America. Our unity will be divided, and rather than eliminate laws based on color of skin half a century after the Civil Rights Movement, we would instead add laws based on religious preference.

I ask why, in a free society, Muslims want to impose Sharia upon their own. A Muslim person can write a will to have children inherit according to Muslim custom. This freedom of religion is not restricted. So why an imposed Sharia on Muslims in western countries? Is it in hopes that if Muslims get into a majority, or close to majority, Sharia can replace democracy, and Islamic values replace western ones?

Is this not maybe the hope in “secular”

India–that special provisions for Muslims are in place as the Muslim population keeps increasing? That, as Hindus are run out or eliminated in border regions, that the new Muslim majorities get Sharia as the system of law?

Hindus in

America live under a Christian-established law code based upon Christian values. Why can’t there be a uniform law code established in

India under Hindu values, since an overwhelming majority of Indians have those values? Why must the values of the minority be imposed upon the majority? This is certainly neither democratic nor secular, no matter what political spin you place upon it.

Why can Hindus live under Christian law, but Muslims cannot accept either a Hindu or Christian value system when they are a minority? Why must Muslims separate from the established system rather than integrate into it?

A uniform civil code is the only hope for a unified

India. And the so-called secularists will be the last to propose it, since secularism has deteriorated into an established process of minority appeasement in

India.
