Watch: Decoding Uttarakhand’s Uniform Civil Code
Uttarakhand becomes the first Indian state to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) since Independence.
On January 27, 2025, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami officially rolled out the UCC, a move that promises uniformity in civil laws but comes with key exemptions—tribal communities and the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) remain outside its purview.
What does this mean for minority communities? How do the new provisions impact live-in relationships? What are the broader implications of this historic decision? This video breaks it all down.
