There is an ongoing debate in India whether religion-based personal laws should be maintained or a uniform civil code be instituted. The author argues that prevailing notions of community are bureaucratic, static and reductive. She is against the perception of religion or religio-legal systems as the sole determinant of patriarchies. The author examines different religious communities and multiple patriarchies in India.
