The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has long been at the heart of India's constitutional and cultural tensions — hailed by some as a promise of equality, and critiqued by others as a tool of homogenisation. As the political momentum around the UCC gathers pace once again, with the recent Uttarakhand legislation in the news, this session revisits the debate from a constitutional, feminist, and social justice lens. What does "uniformity" mean in a deeply plural society? Can equality be achieved without erasing difference? How do we center the lived realities of women, religious minorities, Dalits, and Adivasis in this conversation? In this episode of BIC Talks, Raag Yadava, Madhu Bhushan will be in conversation with Alok Prasanna. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in May 2025.
