Jesse Owens’ Historic Wins at the Berlin 1936 Olympics, when Hitler was reigning Germany with his mythical fantasy of the supremacy of the “Aryan” race and was ruthlessly terminating Jews, the “other”. One may find similar situation in the contemporary Hindutvavadi regime in the “partly free” India or in Jewish Israel.

ABSTRACT

The following paper is an attempt at exposing the hidden agenda of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as it is supposed to be implemented by the BJP government in India. It starts with the experience of the domain of the externally threatened subjectivity and moves on to criticize the UCC by reflecting on its communal intentions, targeting solely the “other” Islamic Law. It goes on to focus on the intersectional issues of property-inheritance, gender question, caste dynamic, variegated food-habits, plurilingual situation etc. In doing so, it also throws light on the uncontradictory contradictions within the ambit of the “Hindu” umbrella, and how it prevents the “Hindus” from having any kind of uniformity for themselves. The authors’ semantic connotation of the term “UCC” is totally different from the Saffronized Hindutva’s politico-religious construal of the same, aiming at the vote-bank politics. The question of right (that legitimizes the sovereign, when one desiring right from the sovereign itsef) is far more important than the proposed codes framed by the hindutvavadins.
