India is a country of diversity “does it need or require a Uniform Civil Code? Adding fuel to fire, In August 2018 the Law Commission concluded that a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is neither necessary nor desirable. The existing personal Laws based on religion “ Hindu Succession Act (1956) and the Muslim Personal Law Act (1937) will be nullified. What kind of polarizing exercise is this… not the G20. India is a country that has so many different languages, caste, cultures, religions, ethics and tribal groups. Goa is the only state in the country which has a Uniform Civil Code. This is the result of the Portuguese rule of Goa before its liberation. The Portuguese enacted this civil code in 1867 and extended it to the Portuguese overseas province including Goa in 1869. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing the party workers in Bhopal on June 27 made the government's intentions to bring a bill on Uniform Civil Code, before 2024 general elections clear. Would this issue be on election agenda? Goans should be cautious with the third eye and vote for the government that will bring peace and happiness.
