India's BJP-Ruled State Unveils 'Totally Biased' Common Civil Code for Hindus and Non-Muslims

Uttarakhand's ruling BJP has implemented a common civil code, which critics have labeled as 'totally biased' and may trigger unease among India's Muslim minority, replacing religious laws in the northern Indian state. The move is expected to affect areas with significant Hindu populations. Opponents argue that the new code will favor Hindu customs over those of minority communities. The implementation of this civil code is a departure from previous practices in Uttarakhand and raises concerns about potential social unrest.
