The points raised by Ms. Ruby Nishat needs a serious notice by the so called secularist. The terms secularism, in Indian context, is not irreligiousity, but giving equal regard to all the religions. the uniform civil code is a western concept. In India even the Hindus have contradictory beliefs. If in north Lord Rama is worshiped, in the south his enemy, Ravana is worshiped. And both claim to be followers of true Hindusim. In Tamil Nadu most of the Hindus are cow's beef eaters and various beef shops are owned by Hindus, in north the cow is worshiped.
we need to accept these realities. And the status Muslim women is undoubtedly far better than those of Hindu women. The Sangh Parivarists need to take notice of these.
