💨 Abstract

BJP-ruled Uttarakhand has implemented a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), the first state to do so in India. While this is the first draft of a UCC, its state-level enactment raises questions about its fit within India's constitutional framework that views it as a national issue. Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, which calls for a uniform code, suggests a national character rather than state-level implementation.
