Abstract
People in general perceive that for national integration all citizens of India should be given equal rights irrespective of caste and gender. There is a need for transformation of centuries old traditions of communities to flow with modern and civilized societies, because these practices carry no place and relevance in contemporary modern societies. Aticle 44 of the Constitution, {Directive Principles of State Policy}, has made the provision that the State must seek to ensure a uniform civil code for Indian citizens across India's territory. But UCC has been opposed on several fronts such as -Religious diversity, political opposition, lack of public awareness, Complex legal structure and lack of political will to bring legislative modifications. There are ideological and religious disagreement over uniform civil code, which is now gaining grounds for equality for women irrespective of religious background and cultural inheritance.
