Perhaps I'm being too idealistic... I don't see how the need for a UCC affects a Hindu male. It would be a god sent for Muslim women, but a Hindu male pining for the UCC seems like the only desire is for a dilution of religious identities. Which is a very worthy cause, but the BJP's flaw here is to paint all muslims as being anti-UCC and therefore by extension having no sense of India as a nation. It's always the subtext with the BJP that bothers and it invariably rears it's ugly head in some form or the other.
