Abstract Although the foundation of our Indian constitution is unity in diversity, there is actually no unity among peoples. The nation's major religious communities' scriptures and rituals serve as the foundation for the personal laws that people adhere to. The goal of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is to eliminate all rules pertaining to inequality among Indian residents and to replace personal laws. It demands the creation of a single Indian legislation that would include issues like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption for all religious sects.
The code is based on Article 44 of the Constitution , which states that the state should strive to establish a Uniform Civil Code for all Indian citizens. "No one wants to be anxious that if the State has the power and it will tout de suit execute... that power may be found to be challengeable by the Mohammedans or by the disciples or by any other community," Ambedkar stated during his speech in the Constituent Assembly. He believes that if the government did it, it would be insane.
The UCC seeks to support national unity and integrity while protecting vulnerable groups, including as women and religious minorities, as envisioned by Ambedkar. The created code will attempt to make sense of laws that are now divided based on religious views, such as Christian laws, Shariat law, and the Hindu code bill. This paper explores the reasons behind the parliament's refusal to approve and implement the UCC bill. Our intriguing query was that although people are not inherently divided, laws undoubtedly cause them to be. Today, the UCC is absolutely necessary.
Keywords Unity in diversity, Uniform Civil Code, Inequality, Article 44 of Indian Constitution, Personal laws, National Unity and Integrity.
