what were the fears that prevented the formulation of a common Civil Code what were the view of Ambedkar and Nehru on this issue
Answers
Answer:
On December 2, 1948, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, seen as one of the architects of the Constitution, defended the state’s endeavour to put in place a uniform civil code in future by including it among the Directive Principles of State Policy.
But this couldn’t be done by force, he told the Constituent Assembly, adding that it would be “mad” to introduce it by “provoking Muslims.” This was days after he had suggested, on November 23, 1948, that the future Parliament could — for a start — extend it to those who voluntarily agreed to be bound by it.
In the last few days, there has been a debate in Parliament on Ambedkar and the Constitution, and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had wondered in his address how MPs today would have reacted had Ambedkar stood before them to introduce the clause.
