Description

The viability of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has all the time been a bone of contention in socially and politically plural South Asia. It’s entangled within the polemics of identity politics, minority rights, women’s rights, national integration, uniform citizenry and, of late, global Islamic politics and universal human rights. At the same time as champions of each and every category view the issue from their own perspectives, making the debate extremely complex, this book takes up the challenge of providing a holistic political analysis.

As among the South Asian states nowadays sign up for a decentralised view and share a common history, this study is a superb comparative analysis of the applicability of the UCC. In this work, India figures prominently, being the most plural and vibrant democracy, in addition to accounting for nearly three-fourths of the region’s population. This provides the backdrop for an analysis of the other states in the region.

This second edition will be indispensable for scholars, researchers and students of law, political science and South Asian Studies.
