evidence: Supporters of the UCC argue that it fosters national integration and gender equality. However, concerns have been raised that its enforcement may infringe upon the rights and distinct practices of minority communities in the state. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin pointed out that a uniform nation does not necessarily imply a unified nation, and many believe that the UCC will erode the boundaries of tolerance, despite being non-cognizable. The proposal of the UCC has encountered resistance from orthodox Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and other minorities whose customs have remained untouched since the time of British rule. Even the framers of the Constitution, unable to resolve the conundrum it poses, prudently included it in the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) rather than the Fundamental Rights. The Uniform Civil Code aims to establish a uniform legal framework for all citizens, regardless of their religion. Article 44 in the DPSP, found in Part IV of the Constitution, states that "the State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India".
