evidence: The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is back in the spotlight after Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorsed it while talking to booth-level workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. In what is seen as the first public push for the UCC by the PM, he said that the country cannot have separate laws for its people. [...] The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is the proposal to have one law for the entire country, which will apply to all religious communities in personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, succession, custody and adoption. Currently, in India, each religion has varied stipulations. Hindus have their own laws on marriage, inheritance, etc, which differ from Muslims, Christians, and Parsis. However, the UCC aims to change that. [...] The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been a big backer of the UCC and has included it in every manifesto since 1998. Several states ruled by the saffron party like Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Assam have promised to introduce the common law. Now PM has publicly backed it and the matter is likely to become the forefront of the party’s campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections .
