Hyderabad: Prof. Faizan Mustafa, former Vice Chancellor of Nalsar University, while delivering a memorial lecture at Maulana Azad National Urdu University has said that implementation of uniform civil code in a country like India is a challenging task. The culture of every state is different. Governments and political parties make promises of implementation of uniform civil code as election jumlas, but are forgotten after elections.
The Department of Women Education organized a Commemorative Lecture in collaboration with Safdarya Girls High School. Prof. Fatima Ali Khan, former President, Department of Geography, Osmania University was the chief guest. A documentary on the life of social reformer and pioneer of women’s education in Hyderabad, Sughra Humaun Mirza, was also screened.
Prof. Faizan Mustafa said that the uniform civil code cannot be opposed on the basis of freedom of religion for a long time. Instead, the right to culture under Article 29 of the Constitution can be the best shield. Article 29 of the Constitution can be introduced to prevent the implementation of uniform civil code.
He said that in the past, women’s education was not given attention. At such a time, it is a great achievement for Sughra Humaun Mirza to study and inspire others.
Vice Chancellor Urdu University Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan in his presidential address said that it is important for girls and women to be educated in competitive times. He paid tribute to the services of Sughra Humaun Mirza and said that the institutions established in her name are running successfully.
Humayun Ali Mirza, Secretary, Safdarya Girls High School, proposed a vote of thanks.
