Abstract The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Debate in India epitomizes the paradoxical relationship between the pursuit of legal uniformity and the imperative to respect cultural diversity, Enshrined in Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, the vision of a unified legal framework aims to harmonize personal laws, yet its implementation has been hindered by resistance stemming from religious and regional sensitivities.This study undertakes a comprehensive examination of the UCC's implications, traversing judicial pronouncements, legislative frameworks, and state-specific initiatives, with a particular focus on six states: Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi. Furthermore, it delves into the contributions of National heroes, including Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Swami Vivekananda, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, highlighting their advocacy for unity beyond religious boundaries.Through an in-depth analysis of federal dynamics under Schedule VII of the Constitution, judicial insight, and state-led UCC initiatives, this Research underscores the potential of the UCC as a catalyst for gender justice, legal modernization, and social welfare, while navigating the complexities of Balancing Diversity with National Integration.
Keywords Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Gender Justice, Federalism and Schedule 7, Cultural Diversity, Judicial Activism.
