That is not the question. The question is which group is getting preferential treatment.
So you want to change a system of laws that absolutely nobody is complaining about. Interesting

S.R. Bommai v. Union of India : case analysis
This article analyzes the case of S.R. Bommai, where the power of the President’s rule was reduced.blog.ipleaders.in
I should be supporting returning temple fund control to the corrupt temple authorities like mosque and Muslim donated fund control is with corrupt and incompetent waqf boards but it's a tough pill to stomach given the massive funds involved and the public good it's doing.
I know those arguments dude. It's the principle like Stewie says. Hindus donate money to their temples for religious purposes. They should get to waste it on financing religious leader lifestyles like the Muslims do.BJP had a chance to create national law that transfers control of temple funds to temple authorities and they didn't. The whole temple control thing is a complete non-issue that's only used as a talking point by the rightwing to feel victimised.
That ship has sailed.Indian Muslims cannot have their cake and eat it too. They need to accept a UCC or form their own state.
This.I know those arguments dude. It's the principle like Stewie says. Hindus donate money to their temples for religious purposes. They should get to waste it on financing religious leader lifestyles like the Muslims do.
The Modi government is as greedy for the gullible devotee money to fund their social programs as any Congress or other secular government and won't pass laws rationalising this stuff.
Agreed... though grudgingly. It's just so much money.This.
The temple money runs into billions of rupees each year and it helps Governments(central and state) to fund many of the social welfare programs.
I think the gripe here for Hindus is that Temple money should only be spent on Hindus. Not on the entire society which includes non-Hindus too.
Waqf does not spend their money on Hindus and Church also does not. So why should Temple money be any different.
The social contract between Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus has been broken. It has nothing to do with Pakistanis. We exited this union a long time ago. You guys decided to stick together.That ship has sailed.
If Pakistanis become magnanimous enough to offer Indian Muslims housing and free money in their country. I am sure a few Lakhs or more will definitely jump the ship.
if thats the sticking point, I think most Muslims would be all for handing that control back to priests since no Muslims would have any skin in the game. It still does not involve them. Modi has been in control for years, question then is why hasn't he done anything about it? His lack of inaction is not a reason to begrudge Muslims for some imaginary "perks".This.

Actually he is not wrong. Our government always tends to be a bit more on the idealist side and we did provide shelter to hundreds of thousands of Afghans when we couldn't. If we could, we probably would accommodate Indian Muslims as well but for now we are even struggling with our own population and resources thanks to .... well once again that's a different topic.The social contract between Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus has been broken.

That why UCC is need ,it will automatically amend al this stupid laws which is done in name of appeasement by kongress idiots and altteast create level playing field , now everything is so lopsided and highly unethical. This type of problems would not have come if Nehuru and gandhi the 2 idiots have implemented the complete population exchange , both the nations would have lived with out this minority this and that . Think 1 idiot itself created this much headache for our country, if other dangerous individual still lived india would have been hell hole like Syria or Libya.
we Hindus would running from place to place .
I know you're joking but you guys should want us in India to stick together. It's been 75+ years and you have little or no connection with Indian Muslims. Say about as much with Burmese Muslims or Chinese Muslims who you show very little sympathy for.The social contract between Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus has been broken. It has nothing to do with Pakistanis. We exited this union a long time ago. You guys decided to stick together.
There was never a social contract. It was always Hindus bending backwards to appease Muslims since independence. India followed Gandhi and Nehru’s appeasement and pacifist policies.The social contract between Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus has been broken. It has nothing to do with Pakistanis.

What's with the usage of the word "pacifist"?There was never a social contract. It was always Hindus bending backwards to appease Muslims since independence. India followed Gandhi and Nehru’s appeasement and pacifist policies.
It takes 2 hands to clap. Both Hindus and Muslims have to sacrifice some of their beliefs to make the unity work.
The nation was already split and land was given to Muslims of India who did want to live with Hindus. Now no more land will be given. Anyone who thinks their life is in danger can emigrate to a different country. Preferably Pakistan who are culturally, genetically and linguistically similar to Indian Muslims.

A good visual in the New York Times, which bears this out, showing a particularly sharp decrease in vote share for the NDA in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra but an increase in Andhra Pradesh and OdishaWhile on the surface, the BJP's national voteshare remained at more or less the same level, it's composition changed significantly.
As an illustration, it's voteshare in UP fell from ~50% to ~44% while it's share in Tamil Nadu went up from ~3% to ~11%.
The first loss cost it 30 seats. The second gained it no seats.
That is from a muslim POV, that let us live by our rules, and you try to get your own rules. But that is not the basic principle of our constitution, or even Nehruvian secularism.
Our founding fathers have said, including Ambedkar, that UCC should be our goal. What a muslim (whom you find reasonable) is saying that religious laws should supersede the wish of our founding fathers and the principles of our constitution.
And this election was about protecting the constitution, and here you are finding it reasonable. Have you ditched the constitution?
Does that include hindus?There was never a social contract. It was always Hindus bending backwards to appease Muslims since independence. India followed Gandhi and Nehru’s appeasement and pacifist policies.

Uniform civil code.Pardon my ignorance, but what is UCC?
Uniform civil code.
Right now, the criminal code is uniform, but civil code is different based on the community. When constitution was written, the founding fathers said that this achieving UCC must be the goal of the government, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
Those against the UCC give arguments that let every community follow their own internal laws, and if some communities had had reforms imposed on them, it is their duty to get them reversed.
Since the most opposition to UCC comes from muslim ulema, call for UCC is also called islamophobic.
Some key events:
The Shah Bano case. A muslim lady was divorced, and she demanded maintenance from her ex husband based on a law which applies to all citizens. The court granted her maintenance. Muslim ulema opposed it that it interfered with their religion. Rajiv Gandhi rolled back the court judgement. Liberals forgot gender equality and call this the right approach.
Another case where a hindu man converted to Islam for second marriage, and his first wife went to court. Court ruled in her favour, that conversion cannot be misused like this for those who want polygamous relations. Again liberals forgot gender equality and said the man did the right thing.
Recent case. A muslim father had two daughters and wanted to leave his property to his daughters, but the islamic inheritance doesn't allow that. So the parents married again under special marriage act so that the islamic rule doesn't apply to them and the daughters get the full share of inheritance.
Then there have been cases of triple talaq, where muslim women would not get justice because there is no uniform law.
The so called liberals have ignored all problems with gender equality, or oppose UCC because it is islamophobic, and against diversity, ignoring all genuine issues it causes, and instead say that every community should have their own inheritance, divorce and marriage laws, and there should be no equality except what religious scriptures say.
There is no draft of this law yet. Hindus civil laws were "reformed" and there was lot of opposition from hindus too regarding marriage divorce and inheritance dicussions in the constituent assembly when it was being debated.So what principle is the uniform civil code based on? Is it only Muslims who are affected because they have Sharia requirements, and hindus have no religion specific laws?
Don't muslims have Sharia requirements regardless were they live? Are they asking for "personal" laws in olaces like UK, US and Europe?So what principle is the uniform civil code based on?

Genders aren't equal.There is no draft of this law yet. Hindus civil laws were "reformed" and there was lot of opposition from hindus too regarding marriage divorce and inheritance dicussions in the constituent assembly when it was being debated.
At the very least the uniformity should bring gender equality. Even though other things can be diverse, but there should be no compromise on gender equality.
Don't muslims have Sharia requirements regardless were they live? Are they asking for "personal" laws in olaces like UK, US and Europe?
Is sharia is a requirement, shoiuldn't that include the penal code?
I raised more questions based on your question. Whats wrong with that. you either have answers or you don'tHow does that answer what I asked?
I raised more questions based on your question. Whats wrong with that. you either have answers or you don't
Likewise, If the questions I raised put you in corner and exposed the hypocrisy of the community opposing UCC, thats fine.That's fine if the questions I asked were too difficult to answer, someone else might be able to do it.
Gender equality doesn't mean genders are equal, but that both should be given equality.Genders aren't equal.
Likewise, If the questions I raised put you in corner and exposed the hypocrisy of the community opposing UCC, thats fine.
Gender equality doesn't mean genders are equal, but that both should be given equality.
From Islamic POV I agree they should not be given equality, in fact even in hinduism there is not equality for genders. But that cannot be an argument that humans should not be given equality because they are unequal.
Indian constitution is based on western principles ( mostly based on you britishers 1935 contitution for india, and then added canadian, US and UK principles). Plus some garbage from Gandhi's ideas. And later some from communists who supported Indira Gandhi.That's fine, I am guessing that since both hindus and Muslims have objected at times to UCC, then it is perhaps based on western liberal principles which traditional communities are slower to adapt to?
If Sharia is a requirement for muslims and there are no special laws in the west, does that make mean they "muslims" in the west are not "muslims"? If you don't know how to respond....I don't know anything about the community opposing UCC, I was just trying to get a grounding on what it was based on. If you don't know then don't respond.

Hindsight. CBN Garu didn't know that himself, otherwise he wouldn't have gone for alliance.Misleading. Andhra would have swung Chandrababu Naidu's (TDP) way regardless of Modi.
To be honest, i think Chandrababu knew that but needed to cover all his bases. This election was a do or die for him.Misleading. Andhra would have swung Chandrababu Naidu's (TDP) way regardless of Modi.
sometimes i wonder where things must have gone awry for kids such as this. i went to school in india till the 12th grade, studied the same CBSE as them. took the same exams, read the same books, and i was neither particularly erudite nor a prolific reader. and yet, there is gulf between fellas in how we perceive the world!There was never a social contract. It was always Hindus bending backwards to appease Muslims since independence. India followed Gandhi and Nehru’s appeasement and pacifist policies.

Simple answer: We realized that we should do what muslims would do in our place. We are learning from them.sometimes i wonder where things must have gone awry for kids such as this. i went to school in india till the 12th grade, studied the same CBSE bullshyt as them. took the same exams, read the same books, and i was neither particularly erudite nor a prolific reader. and yet, there is gulf between fellas like @Champ_Pal, @cricketjoshila in how we perceive the world! so i have to ask, where did their knowledge become limited, and their critical thought process stagnate?
suddenly they parrot the same undemocratic, xenophobic, classist, communal trite that the likes of tyrants of the past have echoed. where i see a country that has potential but must evolve, they see a desire for contraction and isolation. where i feel democracy should lead to greater representation, they think that the poorly represented should leave the country.
They will get as many ministers and MPs as they give votes.
It has already started in the 3rd term,Will the BJP now be able to lynch the muslims in streets and bulldoze their homes? Or organise riots like Delhi 2020?
Lynching is a law and order problem, with cattle smugglers on one side and vigilantes on other side.Will the BJP now be able to lynch the muslims in streets and bulldoze their homes? Or organise riots like Delhi 2020?

2 Men Transporting Cattle Lynched By Mob In Chhattisgarh: Cops
Raipur:
Two cattle transporters died and another sustained serious injuries under suspicious circumstances after being allegedly chased by a mob in Chhattisgarh's Raipur district on Friday, police said.
So far there was no evidence to suggest it was a case of mob lynching and autopsy reports were awaited, said a senior official.
The incident took place in the early hours under Arang police station area on Raipur-Mahasamund interdistrict border, Additional Superintendent of Police (Raipur rural) Kirtan Rathore told PTI.
On being alerted that three persons were lying injured below a 30-feet high bridge on the Mahanadi river, a police team was rushed to the spot, he said.
The truck in which they were ferrying cattle was found on the bridge.
Of the three men, one was found dead and the other two were in serious condition. They were admitted to a hospital in Mahasamund where one of them succumbed to his injuries, the official said.
The killed were identified as Guddu Khan alias Mohamed Tehsin (35) and Chand Miya (33). The injured, Saddam Kureshi, was later shifted to a hospital in Raipur.
All three hailed from Uttar Pradesh. Khan hailed from Saharanpur while Chand Miya was from Shamli district, the ASP said.
As per preliminary investigation, the three were heading towards Raipur from Mahasamund with animals when some people chased the vehicle.
The truck, found stationary on the bridge later, has been seized and the animals have been shifted to a cow shelter, the police official said.
Autopsy reports of the killed men were awaited, ASP Rathore said. "We have asked doctors to provide a brief report as soon as possible. We are also checking the CCTV footage along the route. Till now we have no evidence to say it is mob lynching. Efforts are being made to identify those who chased them," he added.
The injured man was in no position to give a statement to police at present, the official said.

Nehru and Gandhi were against communal award. Nehru's blood Pappu 2, has spit on his ideology. Congress stands for the very things it opposed during pre and post independence.You don't live in India nor do you face the problems that many Indians do.
What poorly represented? Everyone gets the same rights in elections and FYI India rejected proportional representation Even before independence.
Number of such Indians is increasing but only gradually. Hopefully, it'll be more 5 years from now.Strange.
Because now Indians are clearly realizing that all these are just ways to mislead them and get votes.
Perhaps RSS-BJP does not know any other way.

You sure have a way higher IQ than me, but have you read your history, from primary sources?The RSS are a bunch of pussycats who were the British foot-soldiers back in the day. And their IQ is even lower than their bravado.
When it comes to low IQ and sheer idiocy, it is the average 'secular liberal Indian leftist' who takes the cake these days. The discourses and arguments coming from some of them are either nauseating or hilarious, depending on one's mood.The RSS are a bunch of pussycats who were the British foot-soldiers back in the day.

The social contract between Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus has been broken. It has nothing to do with Pakistanis. We exited this union a long time ago. You guys decided to stick together.
Yes those that made that choice. However there is no right of return policy like Israel ( or India's CAA)But Pakistan is the homeland of Muslims of SC. No?

I did live in India, and I did face problems though neither I nor you have faced the problems that plague majority of Indians: a growing lack of access to economic opportunities, widening gulf of economic disparity, wealth inequality, gender based discrimination, and civil protections against search and seizure.You don't live in India nor do you face the problems that many Indians do.
What poorly represented? Everyone gets the same rights in elections and FYI India rejected proportional representation Even before independence.
Guess you got called on the non-sensical “social contract” claim.Yes those that made that choice. However there is no right of return policy like Israel ( or India's CAA)
Indian Muslims chose to enter a union with Hindus.
Now they will have to make their own homeland or make concessions.

The difference is I can acknowledge this problems and am willing to sacrifice the position of privilege that I have enjoyed so that a greater number can benefit. You on the other hand want to the machine to turn harder and crush the underprivileged further because you lack empathy and sincerity and in large parts since you view the world through communal lenses.
Lenses given to you by your own parents who inherited them from their own parents…
Called for what?Guess you got called on the non-sensical “social contract” claim.
Regarding “concessions”, I can only imagine horror if govt not catering to you favorite sky daddy fairytale based rules.
Funnily they don’t seem to have a problem when western govts do that
Making a new homeland, that would be fun to watch…….
That there was a contract. There was none. Ayesha Jalal implies that was Jinnah was trynig to get, a social contract. The rich muslims picked up ad left. The poor ones who couldn't stayed behind. Some moved to "muslim homeland" even decade after eg. asif iqbalCalled for what?
Wasn't that the case even before?Didn't you guys and Indian Muslims choose to live side by side?
you and red-indian seemed to focussed on this polygamy thing.And now you guys are feeling threatened that an Indian Muslim can have more than one wife while you can't.
If that is what you got, I'm afraid you have serious comprehension issues.Its all good and well talking about other people's 'sky daddy' but going through this thread it seems like Indian hindus are hurt because they feel they aren't properly able to follow rules based on "sky daddies".
1. Lack of economic opportunities? I thought it was unanimous that India is one of the few bright spots in the world in terms of economy.
2. Wealth distribution is never equal. And India isn't a communist country that wealth creation is illegal.
3. What gender based discrimination?
4.India has one of the most powerful judicial system in the world where the government has no interference. India also has limitations on things like Freedom of speech. This is our law and every one has to follow it.
Sitting in some foreign land and talking about sacrifice in India to an Indian. This is really funny.
My grandfather arrived in Kolkata a year or so before partition. He left almost everything his parents had created. He worked his way through adversity to create a growing business that my father navigated through the quagmire of a communist regime. To this day where we employ 100s and help the country earn valuable Forex.
Me and my sibling independently earned degrees from some of the best colleges in India.
Privileges don't come easy, they come through sheer hard work of generations.
The lenses that my family gave me taught me to keep the country above everything. They also taught me to learn from history and not make the same mistakes.
I'm getting trust fund baby' vibes from this post.
