India is moving towards One Nation Civil Code that is a Secular Civil Code, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday while talking on 'Rashtriya Ekta Diwas'.Today we are all seeing the success of One Nation Identity- Aadhar and the world is also discussing it, said the Indian Prime Minister. "Earlier, there were different tax systems in India, but we created the One Nation One Tax System- GST. We strengthened the country's power sector with One Nation One Power Grid. We integrated the facilities available to the poor through One Nation One Ration Card. We have provided the facility of One Nation One Health Insurance to the people of the country in the form of Aayushman Bharat," he said.Under these efforts of ours for unity, we are now working towards One Nation One Election, which will strengthen India's democracy, which will give optimum outcome of India's resources and the country will gain new momentum in achieving the dream of a developed India, the PM said.For years, the BJP has been a strong advocate for replacing India’s religion-based laws with a uniform civil code, which would establish a common set of rules for issues like marriage, inheritance, and divorce, regardless of religious affiliation. Prime Minister Modi and his party have consistently supported this initiative, arguing that the current system allows non-Hindu communities—particularly Muslims—to follow their own religious laws. A uniform civil code would likely standardize these practices, potentially banning certain personal laws related to marriage and divorce.The push for a Uniform Civil Code has been a key element in the BJP's agenda, as reflected in its manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections. Several BJP-led state governments have already begun moves to implement such a code.In a significant move, the BJP-led government in Uttarakhand passed the uniform civil code in its state assembly earlier this year, effectively serving as a test case. Historically, successive governments have avoided amending these religion-based laws, fearing backlash from voters of all faiths.If the BJP attempts to introduce this measure in the current parliament, it is likely that Modi's key regional allies—many of whom govern states with substantial Muslim populations—may hesitate to support the initiative.
