Re: [IAC#RG] Law Commission seeks inputs on UCC

Dear Munish

I am proud that India is the most secular country in the world. I believe that all of us should strive to keep it that way and allow each religion (and their adherents) to practice, profess and propagate their religion and conscience (subject to morality, health and public order)

So if anybody objects to polygamy or triple talaq, they should either amend the Constitution or establish that these practices are immoral or unhealthy or opposed to public order. In 66 years of the Republic, AFAIK nobody has been able to do so - because official census data (and as a paedri MD you must know this) shows that Indian Muslims have much lower child mortality rates than Hindus, have longer life-spans than Hindus and the sex-ratio for Muslims is far better than for Hindus.

I don't know which party you are with presently, ie. after AAP,  so I can't comment on "some other parties becoming dominant", but if you are implying that Muslims are changing the demographics through polygamy and triple-talaq the ground-reality is different.

NB : IAC is, and shall always be, "bold" :-)

Dear Sarabjit ji:

Your several points are well taken regarding Hindutva and Akhand Hindustan vis a vis objectives of IAC. This is a bold statement. 

However, criticizing RSS will only create diversion. 

Also, opposing UCC at this juncture will harm the nation in long run. In decades, we have an opportunity to bring in UCC. It is unimaginable if some other parties become dominant.

Dear Dr. Elangbam

I thank you for your spirited email asking for UCC which I had forwarded to my seniors. Please see the bolded words below in context.

Since my movement is inclined to oppose UCC I am sharing some inputs for you.

1) My movement is historically (for over 200 years) and publicly in favour of propagation of "HINDUTVA" in India and the world.

2) My movement is historically (for over 200 years) and publicly in favour of Unified India, ie. AKHAND HINDUSTAN stretching from Burma to Afghanistan and from whole of Indian Ocean to Sri Lanka, Tibet and beyond Arunachal Pradesh as a living space for Hindus and Hindu cuture.

3) That we do not support the RSS (Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh) who no doubt posture as defenders of Hinduism, but had sold out their movement to USA sometime in the late 1930s after Dr. Hedgewar's ill heath. The RSS does not at all represent Hindus today but only a tiny section of Hindus called "banias" who are corrupting the nation in name of Hindutva for their personal profit/ gain.

4) That my movement has studied foreign / alien religions for many centuries and know well their devilish ways and tricks to render Hindus impotent.

5) My movement especially views the UCC as a fiendish foreign device (trick) to convert India into a nation of sheep and make us into impotent "peaceniks" ever content to stay confined within some arbitrary drawn territorial borders no Hindu patriot would accept. Islam and Hinduism both had clearly understood why polygamy is an option to be retained in any martial society.

6) That silent majority of Hindus are as equally against UCC being imposed on them as Muslims are.

Sincerely

Sarbajit Roy

Dear All,

We must support UCC and give reasons in absolute terms.

This country will go to dogs, ungovernable in future and the very existence will be at stake.

May we may antagonize a sizable section of the population, never mind,  even amongst them there are a great silent majority, who wish to express their mind and raise their voice but just because of the same fear of the fundamentalist, they are forced to be quite.

Let us rise above politics and all other issues for the sake of the nation; we should submit an unanimous view of approval to establish UCC.
