I still concur nagraj=greatest

Is chutiyapanti ki koi ilaaj nahi.

@Indrani has surpassed me in negatives

I didnt mean declaring Gita a national scripture would be a special privilege to hindus (wrong choice of words actually ) I just meant that if a national scripture in no way effects our constitution then whats the harm to the declaring Gita a national scripture?
India does have a hindu majority and Gitopnishad at its best teaches path of knowledge,action and renunciation of attachment to the fruit of our actions. Its a very harmless text which teaches us way of life. And gita's teachings 're not just for hindus but any human being. You know it more than I do.
But just because its associated with hindus and hinduism, ppl object to it being declared a national scripture. Isnt it??

There are multiple shows made on gita,both old and new so everyone is exposed to it irrespective of the religion in india so no need to give it any special privilege as its defacto the most widely known story/mythology already.

And i will say again,,my favourite is BALI.

Chal oye,,kam se kam main pent ke upar chaddi nahi pehnta tere hero ki tarah

there!!!
This is the mistake what ppl make when they confuse Ramayana (Bali is frm ramayana) - Mahabharata and Gita.
Gita is a song and a 700 verse scripture.
Gita is not about stories but about one's karma and dharma.

arrey cartoon Gita is rich in humanist teachings and it has been the source of inspiration for a lot of people all over the world, both religious and secular, Hindu and non-Hindu, ranging from Gandhi to Thoreau and Einstein, from Shankaracharya to Aurobindo to Vivekananda and many other modern and ancient personalities.
What you must understand is that it is filled with universal, pluralist and humanist teachings.I call it universal because more than once krishna says "“I am the same to all beings: to Me there is none hateful or dear." ...in short there's one god be it allah,rama or jesus.
Frankly I dont see anything in Gita thats against any other religion. And if it was in english and did not have the characters Krishna and Arjuna* then again some Britisher or American would 've claimed to be its father and would 've become "father of gyaan-siddhanta (knowledge and principles)".

*(In Gita krishna is advising Arjuna)

Right UCC would cover the personal laws.
But take the haj subsidy for example this is what our courts had to say
"A very large majority of Muslims would not be aware of the economics of their pilgrimage and if all the facts are made known a good many of them would not be very comfortable that their haj is funded to a substantial extent by the government".
And this subsidy has been given regardless of the economic standing of the pilgrim and has been slammed even by many leading Muslims.
Its not fair that a religion whether minority or majority should enjoy any special treatment in India thats all I demand and if UCC helps in achieving that goal then I would support UCC.

Hajj subsidy can be abolished under the present set of laws and supreme court had already instructed the government to revoke this special privilege granted. A separate common law is unnecessary and Hajj subsidy can not be a plausible argument in favor of UCC.

I would 've supported quran/bible or just any text had it been just about teaching us human values.

It does no harm and the main objection against it is not that it might be harmful by any means. But a Sikh or a Christian can come with equally enlightening words from their respective scripts and demand them to be declared as 'national script'. If the government finds it compelling to have a divine national emblem, why not collecting all the sacred principles into one book and declare it to be a national script? Just merely because India is a Hindu majority, it can not univocally declare Gita as a national emblem, its democratic sense must imply it to listen to minority opinion too. The ten commandments in the holy book too teaches about basic human values which would have perhaps been more understandable to common village Indians, then why seclude that too?

No disagreement here. Some of the teachings might seem to be strongly relevant in day to day life now.
