BJP’s Bold Reforms: From Article 370 to Waqf Amendment — Is UCC the Next Big Move?
The BJP-led government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spearheaded some of the most transformative legal and constitutional reforms in India’s post-independence history. From the abrogation of Article 370 to the groundbreaking Waqf (Amendment) Bill of 2025, the government has addressed long-standing demands for justice, equality, and national unity.
These sweeping changes not only fulfill key ideological promises of the BJP but also resonate strongly with Hindu sentiments across India. As momentum builds, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) appears to be the logical next milestone.
Major Reforms Under BJP: A Timeline of Transformation
🏛 1. Article 370 Abrogation (2019)
✅ The historic decision revoked Article 370, ending Jammu & Kashmir’s special status and integrating the region fully under the Indian Constitution.
✅ Hindus celebrated this as a step toward national unity and justice for displaced Kashmiri Pandits.
👩⚖️ 2. Triple Talaq Ban (2019)
✅ The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act outlawed instant triple talaq, a regressive practice that undermined gender equality.
✅ This empowered Muslim women and was widely supported by the Hindu community.
🏗 3. Ram Mandir Verdict (2019) and Inauguration (2024)
✅ A 135-year-old civil dispute was finally resolved, paving the way for the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple.
✅ The temple’s consecration in 2024 fulfilled a key Hindu aspiration, reinforcing cultural identity.
🛂 4. CAA Implementation (2019–2024)
✅ The Citizenship Amendment Act provided a safe haven for persecuted non-Muslim minorities from neighboring Islamic countries.
✅ This humanitarian law was a moral duty to protect Hindu and Sikh refugees.
⚖️ 5. Anti-Conversion & Love Jihad Laws (2020–2024)
✅ BJP-ruled states introduced laws to curb illegal religious conversions and coercion in interfaith marriages.
✅ These laws were seen as essential for protecting Hindu women and preserving cultural integrity.
📜 6. Waqf Amendment Bill (2025)
✅ Passed on April 2, 2025, the Waqf Amendment aims to:
- Increase transparency in Waqf property management.
- Curb unauthorized land claims.
- Dismantle elite control over Muslim trusts.
✅ Hindus view this as the end of decades of land injustice, particularly where temples and sacred sites were affected.
Why These Reforms Resonate With Hindus
Each of these landmark decisions reverses decades of perceived appeasement and colonial-era policies. Hindus see them as essential for:
🔹 Restoring civilizational pride
🔹 Ensuring equal rights for all citizens
🔹 Defending cultural and religious spaces
The Waqf Amendment, in particular, addresses unfair land acquisitions that have impacted temple sites in places like Dwarka and Tamil Nadu.
Uniform Civil Code: The Final Piece?
With these bold reforms in place, the next major promise in BJP’s agenda is the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
📌 What is the UCC?
The Uniform Civil Code proposes one legal framework for all Indian citizens, covering:
✅ Marriage & Divorce
✅ Inheritance & Succession
✅ Adoption & Custody
📌 Why is UCC the Next Logical Step?
✅ Legal Foundation Laid – Previous reforms in J&K, personal laws, and religious trusts have set the stage.
✅ Public Support Growing – Progressive Muslims and Hindu organizations are rallying behind it.
✅ BJP’s Political Strength – With a clear majority, BJP can introduce UCC without legislative hurdles.
Opposition’s Dilemma
Despite opposition from Congress, AIMIM, and Left parties, BJP’s reforms have gained unexpected support from ordinary Muslim citizens.
🔹 After the Waqf Bill, Muslims in Bhopal and Mumbai celebrated the reform, breaking away from traditional political narratives.
🔹 With growing Hindu and moderate Muslim backing, the UCC’s introduction appears inevitable.
