This maybe too far fetched, but I wonder if rewriting Indian history textbooks to make India appear more Hindu could somehow potentially increase our pace towards adopting Uniform Civil Code in our constitution?


For Uniform Civil Code to be adopted, it is the Hindu marriage act which has to be supplanted as all the other communities have already opted for Special Marriage Act to register their marriages.


That's just the tip of the iceberg. You also have to navigate through all sorts of laws related to crime, food regulations, civil rights and bazillion other categories and basically get a society so diverse to agree on deeply conflicting issues.

Easier said than done. In many cases it might involve undoing a lot privilege in many sections of society.
