In current case it’s not somewhere in between, it’s just my way or highway kind.
If you understand the nuances, India has many special laws for every community like Muslim, in India there is a Hindu marriage act which has many inconsistency so your point 3 is not correct. All those reforms are targeted at specific community to promote a narrative which follows dictatorial style to follow a specific Hindu way of living (inspired by Nazi, supremacy of Aryans).
India is in a downward spiral on every measure which matters like mal-nourishment, infant mortality , poverty (i.e. HDI), education, economic development, healthcare even before COVID-19. This is made worse by the pandemic. This is not somewhere in between enough research and UN data is available to verify it. Neighbouring countries of India did much better in many parameters.
Current protests of farmers are a result of disrespecting India’s diversity and consensus based approach. If you look at the actual text of the reforms there are two sides and government should have put this text for consultations and than accommodated the changes. They didn’t go through the process, just diluted it and rammed through the reforms taking advantage of pandemic lockdowns.
You can read many accounts how constitutional safeguards were diluted or twisted to pass many so called reforms, this is the reason of widespread prolonged outrage. There might be some vested interest trying to take advantage of this, but that’s due to authoritarian non-consensus based approach.
So Hindu and Christian marriage bills having different divorce timelines is the same as keeping Muslim women at the mercy of Muslim men where they can text a divorce? What kind of sick propaganda are you peddling in this whole thread? Can you name one civilised society where triple talaq and polygamy exclusively for men exists? It’s unfortunate that we can’t agree on this just because of our political leanings.
India. The Indian approach to multicultural laws has its own merits, which I have seen lauded in German law journals.
Indian divorce laws were moved forward for a few communities at a time - till at one day the courts said "The laws are such for Hindus, Muslims and for Parsees. The fact that they have not been reflected in Christian practices is also incorrect so we hereby update the Christian divorce code"
Over the years the laws in India have been moving forward and reforming, in parallel to how the country has been evolving.
Sure, so what is your point exactly? That local customs trump women’s right to be treated as humans? Really, please look into the practices and then tell me you could ever want that for another person. By that logic Hindus should still encourage/force widows to burn at the pyre with their dead husbands.
It was truly disgusting to see the entire left lobby, the self proclaimed champions for human rights shamelessly protesting the repeal of triple talaq.
You seem to be conflating the issue back to the usual axis of islamaphobia. So why aren’t marital rape laws not enacted in India?
Or for that matter how come there was such a furor when the court decided that all Hindu pilgrims regardless of gender could visit Sabarimala?
Do note - the vast majority of Indian laws have moved progressively despite political pressures. The divorce laws in India were regularly opposed by political parties for example - including the BJP.
Any progressive movement in laws have been by your vilified liberals. The only reason triple talaq is on the BJP radar is because it dovetails with their happy topic of islam bashing.
Laws in America and the west did not recognize gay marriage, until the idea carried enough cultural weight for it to be enacted.
India on the other hand, is a combination of modernity and medievalism (gotra). The progressive work in our courts and laws is precisely because Ambedkar and a slew of people fought for it.
Otherwise our laws would be far more basic than you would like to believe.
In this government we already instituted laws to persecute minorities. Imagine where we would be if it weren’t for the years of work by your hated “liberals”.
