Is it really necessary to have different laws for different communities. What will happen to our judiciary if all the communities starts follwing and demanding their own personal laws. Does it bode well for the cause of national integration. One the one hand the government speaks of secularism, national integration and on the other hand it keeps mum on such thing which doesn augur well and is against the tenets of secularism.

The BJP has miserably failed in producing a common Hindu Law, not to talk about common civil code. No single law is practiced or acceptable to all the hindus in India.

"Indian Lover"! What you are citing is the absolute opposite of a secular state! What you are citing is called a Sectarian State! Perhaps your knowledge of english is not adequate, and you are confused on the definitions of english words. The words 'secular' and 'sectarian' both start with 'sec' but have very different meanings. 'Secular' refers to a state that does not relate to sects, whereas 'sectarian' refers to a state which does base itself on sects. You need to understand the difference between the english words 'secular' and 'sectarian'. They have very different meanings.
