    Greetings from Balaraj Bheemasamudra, my views and suggestions with regard to Uniform Civil Code which is pending ever since the constitution was instituted. Article 44 of Indian Constitution mentions the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). It states that citizens to be secured with the Uniform Civil Code. Uniform Civil Code resonates with one country one rule, to be applied to all religious communities. The term, ‘Uniform Civil Code’ is explicitly mentioned in Part 4, Article 44 of the Indian Constitution. Article 44 says, “The State shall endeavor to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.” UCC would provide one law for the entire country, which shall be applicable to all religious communities, in their personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption etc. When Criminal law is uniform why not Civil. Hence my strong suggestion is to Enforce UNIFORM CIVIL CODE for the betterment of the citizens of India. JAI BHARATH MATHA

    1.The Hindu society has a caste bias so Reservations were brought in to give support to the oppressed. But to gain benefit all religions claim they have caste system. Social evil has become a matter of advantage. 2. More and more groups started using their power to put themselves into beneficiary to reservations 3. Vote bank politics, appreasementvpolitics are possible because of there being no UCC , a particular community asserts itself 4. Communities are defying the country to date to bring UCC 5.Due Waqf board and other policies the community with is the richest, asks for reservation also 6. The poor need support, it includes poor of any religion 7.due to special status special benefits an entire group of people disregard the nation 8.women are suffering since they don't have equal rights 9. UCC will bring us to a point that all is same now only fhave to focus roti, kapda aur makan 10. The majority people feel suppressed as all privileges are enjoyed by the minority community. Which resorts to violence at the thought of losing this luxury they have enjoyed for 75years 11 The religion that breed hatred at every week religious meetings by the religious heads. And the fund to create abundant religious heads is obtained by control of the temples of the majority community 12. Since there is no UCC there is no discipline 13 A hopeless situation for the tax payer , as he pays tax to sponsor people against him 14.there is frustration in the youth 15 we delayed it for long , so some communities have used to to enforce their agend a on others
