This study traces historically the debate on uniform Civil Code and explores the complicated relationship between community, patriarchy, the state and gender justice. It examines and questions the attempt to locate Indian women as a homogeneous category and the community as a monolithic entity. Further, while emphasizing the need for Uniform Civil Code, the monograph argues that there cannot be any top heavy uniform prescription. Instead the code should be framed through a democratic process involving the masses so it leads to not just another set of gender just laws but a meaningful social transformation.
