Abstract
The ongoing debate that began with the form to equality has taken sharp turns in developments and become a political standpoint. The constitution of India, principally mandates or guides us to unify all personal laws and ensure the governance of personal laws through a common ground, for all its citizens irrespective of the community they wish to be in or belong to. It has been over seventy years that we the people of India gave ourselves the Indian constitution, that deemed a sovereign democratic and republic state that embarked on its citizens liberty, equality, justice and fraternity. But have we moved to a true sense of secularism and are we ready to accept Uniform Civil Code through the political turmoil’s lies the real question.
