ABSTRACT
India is a secular state, which means that it does not have a state religion. There are provisions in the constitution that are not binding on Indian State- foreseeing the development. The credentials such as secularism and other are always morphed with other credentials. In the similar way there ought to equality among religion. To bring in such equality e.g. there is provisioning in the constitution of Uniform Civil Code. Constitution of India provides the idea of the Uniform Civil Code. It refers to the commonplace set of secular civil legal laws in order to govern all citizens of India and not discriminate on the basis Religion, Caste, language or Tribe. India has a common code for laws associated with settlement, transfer of property, penal laws and different civil laws which might be unbiased of faith. The similarly areas of laws with the intention to be governed below it are the private legal guidelines.
If we see at the preamble of the Constitution there is a term secular and the citizen are guaranteed their freedom of religion and being a secular State, it ought to now not interfere in count of individuals religion. Indian secularism imposes a bad command on the State to not to identify with any precise faith and treat its citizen with the spirit of “Sarva Dharm Sambhava”. Enforcement of Uniform Civil Code may be visible as useless imposition of State law, which would infringes many religion practices and cultures. The Directive Principles Of State Policy (DPSP) in Part IV of the constitution directs the country to create a Uniform Civil Code despite the fact that these concepts are unenforceable, they are critical in state management.
