They banished religion from the private space too, big difference.
Here's the thing with the UCC.. let us scrub all religious laws from the books for all communities, including the Hindus of course and have true secularism.
It doesn't mean the Muslim sharia stuff would be illegal. Those laws pertain to personal matters such as marriage etc anyway. Most Muslims, I'm guessing, will still prefer to do things the Sharia court way when it comes to inter personal disputes, it just won't be codified in the law of the land anymore.
What a successful implementation of the UCC will accomplish, is that it will open avenues, real legal 'law of the land' ones, to true aggrieved parties to seek legal recourse and for real justice to prevail in case a molana rules unfairly, for example.
A quite well to do muslim friend of mine seems to think that a UCC will force them to cremate their dead and forbid all Islamic customs.
Man's just convinced it's out to kill Islam, won't even debate or talk about it.
UCC is pro India, not anti anyone ffs
