Uniform Civil Code or Gender Justice?

teesta-setalvad -
Caught between the Sangh Parivar which has communalised an essentially secular concern for a uniform civil code and the orthodox Muslim leadership resistent to any change, the women's movement and other secular-democratic forces seem to have been gripped by - an intellectual paralysis.

Can majoritarian societal pressure re-write the rulebook? The illegality behind forced non-veg shutdowns during festivals

0
