HISTORICAL BLUNDER !
Even at the cost of displeasure on part of most of my leftist friends,i firmly believe that there should be common civil code for all citizens,irrespective of caste creed and religion.India's failure to reform Muslim personal law in the 1950's at the same time that it undertook a sweeping modernization of Hindu laws governing marriage,inheritance and adoption,must count the republic's most consequential blunders.While western democracies can defend themselves by drawing a clear line in the sand between democratic liberalism and the medieval practices enshrined in Sharia,in India,the state ensures that Muslims follow Sharia in civil matters.It will be very pertinent to mention here that even some of the Muslim nations have initiated suitable amendments in Muslim personal law.
