What is the debate on uniform civil code all about?

What is it?

Article 44 of the Directive Principles in the Constitution says the “State shall endeavour to provide for its citizens a uniform civil code (UCC) throughout the territory of India.” The objective of this endeavour should be to address the discrimination against vulnerable groups and harmonise diverse cultural practices. The stand taken by B.R. Ambedkar in the Constituent Assembly debates has survived the years. Dr. Ambedkar had said a UCC is desirable but for the moment should remain voluntary.

How did it come about?

The Law Commission of India notes that the tracts of the Constituent Assembly debates reveal a lack of consensus on what a potential uniform civil code would entail. While many thought the UCC would coexist alongside the personal law systems, others thought that it was to replace the personal law.

There were yet others who believed that the UCC would deny the freedom of religion. It was this uncertainty that led it to be included in the Directive Principles of State Policy rather than the chapter on Fundamental Rights in the Constitution.

Why does it matter?

The codification of personal laws have historically generated protests. The Hindu Code Bill, one of the foremost pieces of social legislation, had triggered enormous opposition.

The debate on the UCC is centred on the argument to replace individual personal customs and practices of marriage, divorce, adoption and successions with a common code. Those in favour of one code argue that it will end discrimination in religions. Detractors contend that it will rob the nation of its religious diversity and violate the fundamental right to practise religion enshrined in Article 25 of the Constitution. In fact, they hold that a state action to introduce the UCC is against the quintessence of democracy. The secular state is, after all, an enabler of rights rather than an inhibitor in sensitive matters of religion and personal laws.

What next?

Legal experts say that the Supreme Court missed an opportunity to decide on the issue in 2017 when it outlawed triple talaq without addressing the core issue: whether personal law practices should prevail over the fundamental rights of life, dignity and non-discrimination. The Constitution Bench’s judgment was the product of an October 2015 decision of a two-judge Bench of the court to take suo motu cognisance of the discriminatory practices against Muslim women. This Bench pointed out that it had been 30 years since the court, in the Shah Bano case, urged the government to frame a common code to “help in the cause of national integration.”

The Constitution Bench’s judgment came about a year after the Law Commission, in a novel move in October 2016, published a “questionnaire” to test the waters on the UCC. It wanted to see whether the nation was ready for it. The questions included “what measures should be taken to sensitise society to a common code or codification of personal law,” and would the UCC ensure “gender equality.”

In the Shah Bano case, the court lamented that Article 44 remained a “dead letter.” Chances are that it may continue to remain so. In its consultation paper last week, the Law Commission chose codification of personal laws over the UCC as a way to end discrimination within religions. Codification of various practices and customs would make them ‘law’ under Article 13 of the Constitution. Any ‘law’ that comes under Article 13 should be consistent with the fundamental rights, the Law Commission has reasoned. This would protect the plurality of religions, too, and may be the way forward for the near future. In fact, the Law Commission has suggested in no uncertain terms that the UCC is “neither necessary nor desirable at this stage in the country.” It said a unified nation does not necessarily need to have “uniformity.”

India chaina border dispute

China says the border dispute covers Arunachal Pradesh which it claims as Southern Tibet, India asserts that the dispute covered Aksai Chin area. In terms of length, India shares 3,488 km of border with China. The Sino-Indian border is generally divided into three sectors namely:

The Western sector,

The Middle sector, and

The Eastern sector.

 

WESTERN SECTOR

The Indian boundary with China in the western sector is about 2152 km long. It is between Jammu and Kashmir and Xinjiang (Sinkiang) province of China.

AKSAI CHIN

The territorial dispute over Aksai Chin can be traced back to the failure of the British Empire to clearly demarcate a legal border between its Indian colony and China.

As two borders between India and China were proposed during the time of the British Raj – the Johnson’s Line and the McDonald Line.

The Johnson’s line shows Aksai Chin to be under Indian control whereas the McDonald Line places it under Chinese control.

India considers the Johnson Line as the correct, rightful national border with China, while on the other hand, China considers the McDonald Line as the correct border with India.

The line that separates Indian-administered areas of Jammu and Kashmir from Aksai Chin is known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and is concurrent with the Chinese Aksai Chin claim line.

China and India went to war in 1962 over the disputed territory of Aksai Chin. India claimed this was a part of Kashmir, while China claimed it was a part of Xinjiang.

MIDDLE SECTOR

The middle sector boundary in about 625 km long which runs along the watershed from Ladakh to Nepal.The states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttrakhand touch this border with Tibet (China). This sector does not have any substantial border dispute.

EASTERN SECTOR

The boundary in the eastern sector is 1,140 km long and runs from the eastern limit of Bhutan to a point near the Talu Pass at the tri-junction of India, Tibet, and Myanmar. This line is called the McMahon Line after Henry Mc Mahon, a British representative who signed the 1913-14 Shimla Convention.

The boundary was established along the Himalayan crest of the northern watershed of the Brahmaputra, except where the Lohit, Dihang, Subansiri, and Kemang rivers break through that watershed.

China considers the McMahon Line illegal and unacceptable claiming that Tibet had no right to sign the 1914 Convention held in Shimla which delineated the Mc Mahon line on the map.

Tawang is central to the resolution of India-China border dispute.

According to China, if India returns Tawang, which is a sacred place for Tibetan Buddhists, it would settle border disputes in western & central boundaries. India, of course, has denied the proposal claiming Tawang to be an integral part of Arunachal Pradesh & India.

SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TALKS

China and India appointed Special Representatives to discuss the boundary question in 2003.

In 2005, the two sides agreed on political parameters and guiding principles for a boundary settlement, which would form the basis of the final settlement.

India and China have held 20 rounds (the latest of which was in December 2017 between NSA Ajit Doval and Yang) of Special Representative Talks on the border and there has yet to be an exchange of maps.

ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆಯ ಔಚಿತ್ಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂದೇಶ

ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆಯ ಔಚಿತ್ಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂದೇಶ | Labours day | May 1 |

"ವಿಶ್ವಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ"ಯು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭವಾಗಿ 124 ವರುಷಗಳು ಕಳೆದು, ಇಂದು (ಮೇ 1, 2010) 125ನೆಯ ಆಚರಣೆ ವಿಶ್ವದಾದ್ಯಂತ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಸಂಧಿಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ, ಈ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆಯ ಉಗಮ, ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತತೆಗಳ ಒಂದು ವಿವೇಚನೆಯು ಔಚಿತ್ಯಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಂತೆಯೇ ಈ ಕಿರುಲೇಖನದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದೆಡೆ "ವಿಶ್ವಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ"ಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸದ ಇಣುಕುನೋಟವನ್ನು ನೀಡುವುದರೊಡನೆ, ಇನ್ನೊಂದೆಡೆ, ಇದರ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಔಚಿತ್ಯದ ಪುನರಾವಲೋಕನೆಯನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಇತಿಹಾಸದ ಇಣುಕುನೋಟ:

ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಸಮಾಜವಾದದ ಪ್ರವರ್ತಕರಾದ ಕಾರ್ಲ್‌ಮಾರ್ಕ್ಸ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಫ್ರೆಡ್ರಿಕ್ ಎಂಗೆಲ್ಸ್ ಇವರು ಎಂಟು ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ಕೆಲಸದ ದಿನ ಜಾರಿಗೆ ಬರಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ತಮ್ಮ ಅನೇಕ ಬರವಣಿಗೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿಪಾದಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಜೆನೀವಾದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಮೊದಲನೆ ಇಂಟರ್‌ನ್ಯಾಷನಲ್‌ದಲ್ಲಿ 1866ರಲ್ಲೇ ಈ ಕುರಿತು ತೀರ್ಮಾನವನ್ನು ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿತ್ತು ಕೂಡಾ. ಅಂತೆಯೇ 1866 ಆಗಸ್ಟ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಮೆರಿಕೆಯ 60 ಸಂಘಟನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಲಕ್ಷಾವಧಿ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು ಕೂಡ ಈ ತೀರ್ಮಾನವನ್ನು ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಎಂಟು ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ದಿನದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ವಿಶ್ವದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯಾಗಿ ಪರಿವರ್ತಿತಗೊಂಡಿತು. ಆದರೆ, ಈ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಅಮೆರಿಕೆಯ ಚಿಕಾಗೋ ನಗರದ ಹೇಮಾರ್ಕೆಟ್ ಸ್ಕ್ವಯರ್‌ದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಹೋರಾಟ ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಹೋರಾಟಗಳ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಂಪು ಅಕ್ಷರ ದಿನವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಣಮಿಸಿತು.

1886 ಮೇ 1, ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಹೋರಾಟಗಳ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಮಹತ್ವದ ಘಟ್ಟ. ಆ ದಿನ ಅಮೆರಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಮಾರು ಐದು ಲಕ್ಷ ಜನ, ಎಂಟು ಗಂಟೆಯ ಕೆಲಸದ ದಿನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನವನ್ನು ಹೂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಇವರಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಮಾರು ಎರಡು ಲಕ್ಷ ಜನ ಮುಷ್ಕರವನ್ನು ಹೂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಅಂದು ಚಿಕಾಗೋ ನಗರದಲ್ಲೇ 80 ಸಾವಿರ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು ಮುಷ್ಕರವನ್ನು ಹೂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಚಳವಳಿಯನ್ನು ದಮನಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕವಾಗಿ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಗೂಂಡಾ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳು ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಿದ್ದವು. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ಉದಾಹರಣೆ, ಪಿಂಕರ್‌ಟನ್ ಕಂಪನಿ. ಇದು ಹೇಳಿತ್ತು: "ಈ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಗೆ ತುಪಾಕಿಗಳಿಂದ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಊಟ ಬಡಿಸಬೇಕು" ಎಂದು. "ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ವರ್ಗದ ಒಂದು ಅರ್ಧಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲಿಸಲು, ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಅರ್ಧ ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಬಾಡಿಗೆಗೆ ಪಡೆಯಬಲ್ಲ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ನನಗಿದೆ" ಎಂದು ಓರ್ವ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಏಕಸ್ವಾಮ್ಯ ಬಂಡವಾಳಶಾಹಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಜಾಯ್‌ಗೌಲ್ಡ್ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದ. ಈ ಬಗೆಯಾದ ಬಂಡವಾಳಶಾಹಿಗಳ ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯವನ್ನು ಎದುರಿಸಿ ಅಮೆರಿಕೆಯ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕವರ್ಗ ಹೋರಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಧುಮುಕಿತ್ತು.

ಈ ಬೃಹತ್ ಚಳವಳಿಯನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿಕ್ಕಲು ಬಂಡವಾಳಶಾಹಿ ವರ್ಗ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಮೆರಿಕನ್ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಒಟ್ಟು ಕೂಡಿಕೊಂಡಿತ್ತು. ಮೇ 1ರಂದು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಮಾಡಿದ್ದ ಚಳವಳಿ ಮುಂದುವರಿದಿತ್ತು; ಮೇ 3ರಂದು ಬಂಡವಾಳಶಾಹಿಗಳು ಈ ಮುಷ್ಕರವನ್ನು ಮುರಿಯಲು, ಅದರಲ್ಲಿಯ ಒಂದು ಗುಂಪನ್ನು ಇನ್ನಿತರರ ಮೇಲೆ ಸಂಘರ್ಷ ಮಾಡಲು ಪ್ರೇರೇಪಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಸಂಘರ್ಷವನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿಕ್ಕುವ ನೆಪಹೂಡಿ, ಪೋಲೀಸರು ಆರು ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರನ್ನು ಗುಂಡಿಕ್ಕಿ ಕೊಂದಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಪೋಲೀಸ್ ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಭಟಿಸಲು, ಚಿಕಾಗೋ ನಗರದ ಹೇಮಾರ್ಕೆಟ್ ಸ್ಕ್ವಯರ್‌ದ ಬೃಹತ್ ಮತಪ್ರದರ್ಶನವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಈ ಸಭೆಯು ರಾತ್ರಿ 10 ಗಂಟೆಗೆ ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ, ಹಿಂಭಾಗದಿಂದ ಪೋಲೀಸ್ ಏಜೆಂಟೊಬ್ಬನು ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರ ಮೇಲೊಂದು ಬಾಂಬನ್ನು ಎಸೆದಿದ್ದನು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಗೊಂದಲ ಉಂಟಾಗಿ, ಕತ್ತಲಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಾಪಟ್ಟೆ ಗುಂಡಿಕ್ಕಲು ಉದ್ಯುಕ್ತರಾದರು. ಇದರ ಪರಿಣಾಮವಾಗಿ ಏಳೆಂಟು ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲೇ ಅಸುನೀಗಿದ್ದರು. ಮೂವತ್ತು-ನಾಲ್ವತ್ತು ಮಂದಿ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು ಗಾಯಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರ ಕೋಪ ಕಟ್ಟೆ ಒಡೆದು, ಘರ್ಷಣೆಗೆ ಇಳಿದರು. ಒಬ್ಬ ಪೋಲೀಸ್ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲೇ ಮೃತಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದ; ತೀವ್ರವಾಗಿ ಗಾಯಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಏಳು ಜನ ಪೋಲೀಸರು ನಂತರ ಮರಣಹೊಂದಿದ್ದರು.

ಈ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ನಾಯಕರೆಂದರೆ, ಆಲ್ಬರ್ಟ್ ಪಾರ್ಸನ್ಸ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಗಸ್ಟ್ ಸ್ಟೈಸ್. ಆದರೆ ಅಮೆರಿಕನ್ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಎಂಟು ಜನ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ನಾಯಕರ ಮೇಲೆ ಖೊಟ್ಟಿ ಕೇಸನ್ನು ದಾಖಲಿಸಿತ್ತು. ತೋರಿಕೆಯ ವಿಚಾರಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇವರಲ್ಲಿ ಏಳು ಜನರಿಗೆ ಗಲ್ಲುಶಿಕ್ಷೆಯನ್ನು, ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬನಿಗೆ ಹದಿನೈದು ವರುಷಗಳ ಜೈಲುವಾಸವನ್ನು ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಯಿತು. ಈ ರೀತಿ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಒಳಗಾಗಿದ್ದ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ನಾಯಕವೀರರು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು - "ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಗಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಏರಿಸುವುದರಿಂದ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಚಳವಳಿಯನ್ನು ದಮನಗೊಳಿಸಬಹುದೆಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿದ್ದರೆ ಅದು ಭ್ರಮೆ ಮಾತ್ರ. ನೀವು ಇದರಿಂದ ಒಂದು ಕಿಡಿಯನ್ನು ಆರಿಸಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸುತ್ತು ಈ ಜ್ವಾಲೆ ಉರಿಯುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ದಾವಾಗ್ನಿಯನ್ನು ನೀವು ಆರಿಸಲಾರಿರಿ" ಎಂದು.

ಗಲ್ಲುಶಿಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಒಳಗಾಗಿದ್ದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬನಾದ ಆಗಸ್ಟ್ ಸ್ಟೈಸ್ ಗವರ್ನರ್‌ಗೆ ಒಂದು ಪತ್ರವನ್ನು ಬರೆದು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದ.

• India's membership was strongly pushed by Russia while Pakistan's entry into the grouping was supported by China.

 

The Indus water treaty

The Indus Waters Treaty is a water-distribution treaty between India and Pakistan, brokered by the World Bank (then the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development). The treaty was signed in Karachi on September 19, 1960, by then Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and then President of Pakistan Ayub Khan.

According to this agreement, control over the water flowing in three "eastern" rivers of India — the Beas, the Ravi and the Sutlej — was given to India, while control over the water flowing in three "western" rivers of India — the Indus, the Chenab and the Jhelum — to Pakistan.

More controversial, however, were the provisions on how the waters were to be shared. Since Pakistan's rivers receive more water flow from India, the treaty allowed India to use western rivers water for limited irrigation use and unrestricted use for power generation, domestic, industrial and non consumptive uses such as navigation, floating of property, fish culture, etc. while laying down precise regulations for India to build projects.

The preamble of the treaty declares that the objectives of the treaty are recognizing rights & obligations of each country in settlement of water use from the Indus rivers system in a spirit of goodwill, friendship and cooperation contrary to the fears of Pakistan that India could potentially create droughts and famines in Pakistan, especially at times of war since substantial water inflows of the Indus basin rivers are from India.

As per the provisions in the treaty, India can use only 20% of the total water carried by the Indus.

PERMANENT INDUS COMMISSION

The countries agreed to exchange data and co-operate in matters related to the treaty.

For this purpose, treaty creates the Permanent Indus Commission, with a commissioner appointed by each country.

It would follow the set procedure for adjudicating any future disputes arising over the allocation of waters.

The Commission has survived three wars and provides an ongoing mechanism for consultation and conflict resolution through inspection, exchange of data and visits.

The Commission is required to meet regularly to discuss potential disputes as well as cooperative arrangements for the development of the basin.

Either party must notify the other of plans to construct any engineering works which would affect the other party and to provide data about such works.

The annual inspections and exchange of data continue, unperturbed by tensions on the subcontinent.

In cases of disagreement, Permanent Court of Arbitration or a neutral technical expert is called in for arbitration.

DISPUTES RELATED TO THE TREATY

Pakistan has lodged a fresh complaint with World Bank over a run-of-the-river project on Kishanganga River in Jammu and Kashmir. It has also raised a dispute over construction of Ratle Dam over Chenab River.

The World Bank, which brokered the Indus Water Treaty in 1960, acts as mediator in such disputes. Pakistan has complained that the Kishanganga project violates the treaty and demanded setting up of a Court of Arbitration.

India had taken strong exception to the World Bank’s decision to set up a Court of Arbitration to look into Pakistan’s complaint against it over Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir.

Meanwhile, World Bank has paused the separate processes initiated by India and Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty to allow the two countries to consider alternative ways to resolve their disagreements.

The treaty has not considered Gujarat state in India as part of the Indus river basin. The Indus river is entering the Great Rann of Kutch area and feeding in to Kori Creek during floods. At the time of the Indus Waters Treaty in 1960, the Great Rann of Kutch area was disputed territory between the two nations which was later settled in the year 1968 by sharing totaldisputed area in 9:1 ratio between India and Pakistan. Without taking consent from India, Pakistan has constructed Left Bank Outfall Drain (LBOD) project passing through the Great Rann of Kutch area with the assistance from the world bank. LBOD's purpose is to bypass the saline and polluted water which is not fit for agriculture use to reach sea via Rann of Kutch area without passing through its Indus delta. Water released by the LBOD is enhancing the flooding in India and contaminating the quality of water bodies which are source of water to salt farms spread over vast area. The LBOD water is planned to join the sea via disputed Sir Creek but LBOD water is entering Indian territory due to many breaches in its left bank caused by floods. Gujarat state of India beingthe lower most riparian part of Indus basin, Pakistan is bound to provide all the details of engineering works taken up by Pakistan to India as per the provisions of the treaty and shall not proceed with the project works till the disagreements are settled by arbitration process.
