Dr. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution refused to accept the amendments which had been moved to this article. He was strongly in favour of a UCC and argued, “We have a uniform and complete Criminal Code operating throughout the country, which is contained in the Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code. This country has also practically a Civil Code, uniform in its content and applicable to the whole of the country. The only province the Civil Law has not been able to invade so far is Marriage and Succession. It is this little corner which we have not been able to invade so far.”13
