Chhattisgarh Sarva Adivasi Samaj (CSAS), an umbrella body of tribal groups in the state, on Tuesday said the central government should not be in a hurry to implement the uniform civil code (UCC). The UCC will affect the tribal society’s own specific customs and traditions, which have existed for centuries, resulting in a threat to the identity and existence of tribals, said its chief.
CSAS president and former Union minister Arvind Netam said his organisation does not completely object to a common civil law, but the Centre should take everyone into confidence first. He, however, said it seems impractical to implement the UCC in a tribal society.
