Three BJP-ruled states; Assam, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh; have already passed their UCC bills. They’re now waiting for the President’s nod. Uttarakhand got there first in 2025, and now others are rushing to follow before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Amit Shah has made it clear: every NDA state will have a UCC by then. But not everyone’s on board. JD(U), TDP, and even some Northeastern states like Meghalaya and Nagaland are resisting; calling it impractical or culturally disrespectful. The irony? While the BJP sees UCC as a political win tied to its 2024 manifesto promises (like Ram Temple and Article 370), for many, it’s still a deeply emotional and complex issue. Will state-level UCCs create unity; or deepen divides? The real test begins once the President gives the green light.
