The very basis for the demand for a UCC by Hindus is the Sharia law. And the most objectionable part of that is polygamy. I am from Kerala where 28% of polpulation are Muslims. Believe me. present generation of Muslims in Kerala do not marry more than once. Even if Sharia allows that, they do not do it. Why?
There is only one reason, education. Educated Muslims are aware of the stupidity of polygamy. I think, the backwardness of Muslims, is to do with that, by and large,
And Mr. Khan's rejoinder of polygamy in Hindusim is utterly ridiculous. At least the law does not allow polygamy in any other religion except Islam.

I can not agree to this. Mahabharatha discribes a Sathi. Madri did Sathi in the funeral pyre of Pandu. Was it to escape from any invading hordes from the west?
