    The document discusses three topics: Uniform Civil Code, triple talaq, and reservations. For Uniform Civil Code, it argues that imposing the same laws on India's diverse religious communities would be akin to a dictatorship and not work in a country as diverse as India. It states that triple talaq is an unfair and misogynistic practice in Islam that leaves wives vulnerable. It argues that reservations are still needed in India to promote equal opportunities and representation from all parts of society, especially for financially deprived communities, though the goal is for India to eventually not need reservations.

    I stand with no side, not Bjp nor congress. I stand with humans all around.

    I stand for human rights


    and equality, I stand for equal opportunity. I stand with choices that support these. I stand with
    agendas and laws that support these.

    In my view, Uniform Civil Code does not support these. Triple talaq too is not a just law.
    Reservations, however, completely support these.

    Uniform Civil Code is the same laws being applied to every community. This means, that there would
    be one law for everyone without any exceptions based on religion, region, sex, caste, etc. Although
    the above-mentioned are relevant, the main target is religion. If a uniform civil code IS after all
    applied, then the personal laws for all the different religions will be demolished. The same law will
    govern everyone. This is in no way a good thing. India is a country of many diverse people. All of us
    following one law will not work. Each community has its own faith and its own practices. There has
    to be some common ground for all communities, but the laws do not need to be the same. The laws
    can be built on the same base, but the intricate details are different for each community. We can not
    force 1.28 billion different people to follow the same law. One way to think about it would be that
    this becomes one form of a dictatorship.

    Triple talaq is one of the more redundant practices of Islam. It is a sort of divorce where the husband
    can divorce his spouse by saying divorce three times in Urdu. It occurs instantly and can happen over
    any medium. It is also irrevocable. To top it off, this ‘privilege’ is only given to the husband. This is an
    unfair practice and misogynistic too. It can happen in the heat of the moment, without any
    consideration, and without actually meaning to. This isn’t fair on the wife, or the husband honestly.
    This leaves the wife in a very vulnerable situation, especially if she has children to take care of, as is
    often the case. The husband, after the triple talaq, doesn’t have to pay maintenance for longer than
    a period of 3 months, except under special circumstances. So, triple talaq is extremely sexist and
    does not provide for the female. Also, it does not give the two any time to think which can be very
    dangerous.

    Reservation is a huge and controversial topic. The Lok Sabha is split right down to the middle over
    whether we should have reservations or not. In my opinion, reservations are important at this point
    in Indian democracy. The current stage of our country is such that everyone does not get equal
    opportunities. Whether it be religion, region, case, sex, finance, etc, there are always biases in our
    society. Our earning community does not have enough representation of people from each
    community, which is why reservations are needed. The financially deprived people are not going to
    be able to keep a seat in places where the fee is high. However, if they get a scholarship through the
    reservation seats, they do not need to worry about their financial situation anymore. Another factor
    affecting this is that a lot of the people who are considered minorities are financially unstable. Since
    until recently, these people have not got an education, and they do not have much representation in
    the community. This is why we need reservations in our current society. There might come a day
    when India will not need reservations anymore, and that will truly be a happy day for us. However,
    that day has not yet come, and if we remove reservations too soon, our society will not have
    adequate representation from all parts of it.
