The first was the adoption of uniform civil code (UCC) in Uttarakhand, within three days of which, Union Home Minister Amit Shah offered a blueprint for pan-India adoption of the code. The second development was that of southern Indian states approaching Delhi for a fair share of taxes. The third was Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath claiming rights over the sacred sites of Mathura and Kashi. Amid these developments, another development hit the headlines: The Centre released a white paper in Parliament on the so-called economic mistakes committed by the UPA government. Before even the release of this white paper, the Opposition issued a "black paper" on the government's decisions during its decade-long rule.
Obviously, we have reached the season of the Lok Sabha elections, and many such developments can be expected.
Coming back to UCC, you may recall that when it was proposed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first term, it took the entire country by storm. Along with it the National Register of citizens (NRC) was brought up strongly. Minorities felt this was a means to ostracize them. A wave of protests followed, with some violent clashes with police at several locations, in which 65 people were killed.
