Uniform civil code IS NOT SAME as Common Civil code

The Civil Code which we want to be made Uniform , meaning that Civil Code should be applied in the same manner to every citizen in the country ..refers toa collection of laws in regard to Marriage, Divorce, Inheritance, Succession of property, religious affairs , etc. Since Democracy by its ver nature have been about pluralism, such laws have started to become pluralistically accepted by the courts and constitutions in many other democratic societies. IT MUST BE EMPHASISED THAT THE CIVIL CODES are different from the CRIMINAL CODE , which remain HOMOGENOUS ALREADY in all the democratic countries. The CRIMINAL CODES are a collection of laws which deal with crimes as Homicide, Evidencing, Adultry, Nuisance, Torts laws. For the information of interested readers, the other set of laws which too remain homogenously applied already for natural reasons are Administrative laws, Corporate and Business laws, such as Contract Laws. There are not many issues faced by the citizens in regard to any non-uniform application of the Civil Code. The area of disputes are pecularly in regard to Adultry, Monogamy, non-equitable treatment of Women within different religions leading to potential social ills and disorder within the society. However, the UCC too does not guarantee any good resolution of these problems.

The Orals

The Orals That’s how we popularly know them. The popular name gives an innuendo of that pleasure act equally popular in our MMS-crazed generation but, here, is actually a short form for Oral Examinations conducted by the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) of Ministry of Shipping, India, for certification of merchant naval officers. The final steps towards acquiring any grade of licenses involves a face-to-face interview with examiners of MMD, known as Surveyors as per the provisions of the MS Act, 1958, and entails examination of our technical and managerial knowledge. The results of all MMD exams are best described by a well-known maritime adage –‘Sea yields out whatever goes in it; it does not eat away anything.’ Yes, that’s right, one day or the other we all pass. But then like all humans have a need for some challenge to give them reasons to live, we have devised the challenge in passing the exams in ‘first shot’. Over these years of revampe

Why say "No" to the demand for a Uniform Civil Code in India

 What is Uniform Civil Code? Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a set of laws that apply equally to all residents regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, or affiliation with a particular religion. It means that all sections of society, irrespective of their religion, shall be treated equally according to a national civil code, which shall be applicable to all uniformly. The code covers areas like marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, adoption, and succession of property Which democracies have the UCC ? A simple Google Search will reveal that the US does not have UCC, in that, each state is allowed to have it's own laws for governing the personal laws of the citizens. The Google Search will reveal that France, Australia and and the United Kingdom have something of the " Uniform " Civil Code. But a deeper search of what is " uniform " in these countries wil reveal that it only means a set of laws applying homogenously across all the sub-divisions of the c

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs. Jagjit Singh's gazal CDs were the ones which would run the franchise shops called as the Planet M, the Music World , all of which are now extinct. Today, I will say that this singer's work single handed ran the buisness of these shops. Because every trip to these shops meant that the customer would not return back without buying out atleast one piece of an item, — in the least he would do a purchase of one CD having a collection of Jagjit Singh's gazals. As for us, as sailors, in Indian ports we used to buy CDs of his songs; and from China, we used to buy English Songs. Sometimes me and my friends would laugh out at how many CDs we had collected of the same set of songs, in which , just the order of the songs was little different from an other collection in a CD that we already owned. The era from mid '90s upto 2010's was that of the music albums. I remember the name of one of the e
