>Most Hindus wants a Uniform Civil Code in India. Not a separate legal system for Muslims(Shariat Law) and another system for the rest of the population.

Sources? Not just a thousand sampled survey, but something asked with nearly 1billion of the population?

Why a personal law of one be the point of contest with the other? Care to explain?

>Hinduism (79.8%)

Here is the problem, the different tribes and sects which were not explicitly belonging to other religions are classified as Hinduism. While the customs and laws were different. Also a large part of the said population were considered as untouchable and subhuman by the agrarian elite of the same. They only categorise all as Hindus for power, but not willing to share any of the resources without a fight. The agrarian elite wants to control everything on behalf of Hindus. And the constitution is in their way. That's the only explanation for the hate the Secular notion gets from these section of the society.
