The Past The buzz surrounding the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) did not start recently but has a long history dating back to the colonial era. Initially, the purpose of the UCC was to bring uniformity to penal laws rather than personal laws. However, views on the applicability and functionality of the UCC have changed since independence, giving rise to numerous questions. Many scholars believed that in a pluralistic country like India, implementing a UCC would be impractical. Throughout history, whenever a discussion on the UCC arose, the government tended to push it through without extensive deliberation. Another concern related to the UCC was whether it should be included in Part III or Part IV of the Constitution. Ultimately, it was decided that the UCC should fall under the Directive Principles of State Policy and not under fundamental rights. The word “Uniform Civil Code” is clearly included in Part IV, Article 44 of the Indian Constitution.

Introduction In the realm of entrepreneurship, we often associate success with big corporations, the stock market, and corporate giants. However, hiding in the shadows is a thriving, untapped force of entrepreneurship in India's unorganised sector.

That casteism is a relic of the past and in today's modern society, reservations do more harm than good by promoting divisions and unfair advantages. You couldn't be more wrong. The caste system is alive and well in India, even if it's often politely ignored in public discourse. Inter-caste marriage is still rare. Systemic discrimination and the economic and social legacy of caste are realities that still shape life outcomes. For those in lower castes, an inferiority complex is ingrained from an early age. Until the caste system is truly dismantled, and its effects reversed, reservations are still needed to promote equal opportunity and representation. To argue otherwise is to ignore the stark inequities still at play in Indian society. The age of caste may not be over, but the age of willful blindness should be. The Realities of Caste Inequality in India The caste system is still deepl...
