Uniform civil code

If the government of India feels that, gender justice has been achieved in all the communities in India except  the Muslim community . The starting point to reach that goal would be to  give special privileges to Muslim girls like more scholarships, hostels , giving easy and concessional  bank credit when Muslim women entrepreneurs   approach the banks for starting or expanding their household enterprises .  The Sachaar committee  had reported about the economic , political and social backwardness of Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular long back , but no concrete efforts were taken by different governments to elevate their status. The present  government  can take various special steps to elevate their status. The imperfections in personal laws , if any, can be taken care by the respective communities, especially when some Muslim women have sought justice from the courts in certain matters .

Each religion has scholars and community leaders and they can address the grievances of women seeking justice and dignity and sort out the confusion regarding the religious codes on personal matters  within themselves . In a nation like India where, every community has specific  religious instructions regarding a personal matters  and violation of them is considered as sin, any attempt towards  uniform civil code will affect  communal harmony . It is an unnecessary task for the government . Instead it can put all it’s energy in controlling the growing violence against all the  Indian women  and their exploitation in different forms and take efforts to empower them politically, socially ,economically and legally  and thus achieve higher global rank for India in gender balance   instead, of wrongly projecting that,  only Muslim women do not enjoy equity and equality in their life.  let the reforms in personal laws come from within the communities . Pubic private partnership in this matter will not be beneficial .
