Newsance 240: Uttarakhand’s UCC, Sudhir as expert on what women want, NL turns 12
Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
This week, Newslaundry turned 12 years old. Against all odds, we’ve brought you ground reports, podcasts, video stories, media critique and shows. And this week, we will dissect the useful as well as the most ridiculous aspects of the Uniform Civil Code recently passed by the Uttarakhand assembly.
As the BJP government tried to be a nanny state by introducing mandatory provisions to register live-in relationships, our usual suspect, Sudhir Chaudhary, explained to us what all women want when they are in relationships.
But that was not all. With the UCC in place in Uttarakhand, most of the TV news anchors remained fixated on how Muslim men cannot have four wives now, and not much else about the bill.
