The viability of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has always been a
bone of contention in socially and politically plural South Asia.
It is 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.
While champions of each 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
most of the South Asian states today subscribe to a decentralised
view and share a common history, this study is an excellent
comparative analysis of the applicability of the UCC. In this work,
India figures prominently, being the most plural and vibrant
democracy, as well as accounting for almost 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.
