Lucknow, Sept. 18: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board seems to have inspired Hindus to set up a similar body. A group of lawyers practising in the Allahabad High Court on Saturday set up the All India Hindu Personal Law Board.
Board chairman Ashok Pandey told this newspaper, âWe set up the board on the auspicious occasion of Anant Chaturdashi and we will work to safeguard the rights of Hindus who can bring property disputes and marital disputes before it. We will work towards removing social evils like dowry and the Board will have the power to appeal for social boycott of families that do not treat their daughters-in-law with respect and love.â According to Mr Pandey, the AIHPLB will work towards ârectifying the follies committed by our elders at the time of Independence.â
<b>âAt that time, India should have been declared a Hindu Rashtra and all constitutional posts should have been reserved for natural Hindus â persons born to Hindu parents. Protection and repair of temples and Hindu shrines should have been made the constitutional duty of the government. Symbols of national shame like roads named after Mughal rulers should have been removed. The Board will take legal steps to ensure that these tasks are accomplished,â</b> Mr Pandey explained.
<b>The Board proposes to have all Shankaracharyas and chief priests of the Badrinath and Kedarnath temples as ex-officio members on the working committee and their opinion will be sought on matters that concern the Hindu religion. A two-member delegation will meet the Shankaracharyas to seek their consent, and the national convention of the board will be held in Lucknow in October</b>.
