Lets read what is this Bill exactly how it will damage the social system in India. The basic premise behind this new bill ..
The Great Maharana Pratap kept the stature of the Saffron flag undiminished

Maharana Pratap was born on May 9th 1540 in Kumbhalgarh,
Rajasthan. His father was Maharana Udai Singh II and his mother was
Rani Jeevant Kanwar. Maharana Udai Singh II ruled the kingdom of
Mewar, with his capital at Chittor. Maharana Pratap was the eldest
of twenty-five sons and hence given the title of Crown Prince. He
was destined to be the 54th ruler of Mewar, in the line of the
Sisodiya Rajputs.
In 1567, when Crown Prince Pratap Singh was only 27, Chittor was
surrounded by the Mughal forces of Emperor Akbar. Maharana Udai
Singh II decided to leave Chittor and move his family to Gogunda,
rather than capitulate to the Mughals. The young Pratap Singh
wanted to stay back and fight the Mughals but the elders intervened
and convinced him to leave Chittor, oblivious of the fact that this
move from Chittor was going to create history for all times to
come.
In Gogunda, Maharana Udai Singh II and his nobles set up a
temporary government of the kindom of Mewar. In 1572, the Maharana
passed away, leaving the way for Crown Prince Pratap Singh to
become the Maharana. However, in his later years, the late Maharana
Udai Singh II had fallen under the influence of his favorite queen,
Rani Bhatiyani, and had willed that her son Jagmal should ascend to
the throne. As the late Maharana's body was being taken to the
cremation grounds, Pratap Singh, the Crown Prince decided to
accompany the dead body of the Maharana. This was a departure from
tradition as the Crown Prince did not accompany the body of the
departed Maharana but instead prepared to ascend the throne, such
that the line of succession remained unbroken. Pratap Singh, in
deference to his father's wishes, decided to let his half-brother
Jagmal become the next king. However, knowing this to be disastrous
for Mewar, the late Maharana's nobles, especially the Chundawat
Rajputs, forced Jagmal to leave the throne to Pratap Singh. Unlike
Bharat, Jagmal did not willingly give up the throne. He swore
revenge and left for Ajmer, to join the armies of Akbar, where he
was offered a jagir - the town of Jahazpur - in return for his
help. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Pratap Singh became Maha Rana Pratap
Singh I, 54th ruler of Mewar in the line of the Sisodiya
Rajputs.
The year was 1572. Pratap Singh had just become the Maharana of
Mewar and he had not been back in Chittor since 1567. His old fort
and his home beckoned to him. The pain of his father's death, and
the fact that his father had not been able to see Chittor again,
troubled the young Maharana deeply. But he was not the only one
troubled at this time. Akbar had control of Chittor but not the
kingdom of Mewar. So long as the people of Mewar swore by their
Maharana, Akbar could not realize his ambition of being the
Jahanpanah of Hindustan. He had sent several emissaries to Mewar to
get Rana Pratap to agree to sign a treaty but the letter was only
willing to sign a peace treaty whereby the sovereignty of Mewar
would be intact. In the course of the year 1573, Akbar sent six
diplomatic missions to Mewar to get Rana Pratap to agree to the
former's suzerainty but Rana Pratap turned down each one of them.
The last of these missions was headed by Raja Man Singh, the
brother-in-law of Akbar himself. Maharana Pratap, angered that his
fellow Rajput was aligned with someone who had forced the
submission of all Rajputs, refused to sup with Raja Man Singh. The
lines were completely drawn now - Akbar understood that Maharana
Pratap would never submit and he would have to use his troops
against Mewar.
With the failure of efforts to negotiate a peace treaty in 1573,
Akbar blockaded Mewar from the rest of the world
and alienated Mewar's traditional allies, some of whom were
Maharana Pratap's own kith and kin. Akbar then tried to turn the
people of the all-important Chittor district against their king so
they would not help Pratap. He appointed Kunwar Sagar Singh, a
younger brother of Pratap, to rule the conquered territory,
However, Sagar, regretting his own treachery, soon returned from
Chittor, and committed suicide with a dagger in the Mughal Court.
Shakti Singh, Pratap's younger brother now with the Mughal army, is
said to have fled the Mughal court temporarily and warned his
brother of Akbar's actions.
In preparation for the inevitable war with the Mughals, Maharana
Pratap altered his administration. He moved his capital to
Kumbhalgarh, where he was born. He commanded his subjects to leave
for the Aravali mountains and leave behind nothing for the
approaching enemy - the war would be fought in a mountain terrain
which the Mewar army was used to but not the Mughals. It is a
testament to the young king's respect amongst his subjects that
they obeyed him and left for the mountains. The Bhils of the
Aravalis were completely behind him. The army of Mewar now raided
Mughal trade caravans going from Delhi to Surat. A section of his
army guarded the all important Haldighati Pass, the only way to get
into Udaipur from the North. Maharana Pratap himself undertook
several penances, not because his finances forced him to do so, but
because he wished to remind himself, and all his subjects, why they
were undertaking this pain - to win back their freedom, their right
to exist as they wished. He foreswore that he would eat from
leaf-plates, would sleep on the floor and would not shave. In his
self-inflicted state of penury, the Maharana lived in mud-huts made
from mud and bamboo.
In 1576, the famous battle of Haldighati was
fought with 20,000 Rajputs against a Mughal army of 80,000 men
commanded by Raja Man Singh. The battle was fierce though
indecisive, to the Mughal army's astonishment. Maharana Pratap's
army was not defeated but Maharana Pratap was surrounded by Mughal
soldiers. It is said that at this point, his estranged brother,
Shakti Singh, appeared and saved the Rana's life. Another casualty
of this war was Maharana Pratap's famous, and loyal, horse Chetak,
who gave up his life trying to save his Maharana.
After this war, Akbar tried several times to take over Mewar,
failing each time. Maharana Pratap himself was keeping up his quest
for taking Chittor back. However, the relentless attacks of the
Mughal army had left his army weaker, and he barely had enough
money to keep it going. It is said that at this time, one of his
ministers, Bhama Shah, came and offered him all this wealth - a sum
enabling Maharana Pratap to support an army of 25,000 for 12 years.
It is said that before this generous gift from Bhama Shah, Maharana
Pratap, anguished at the state of his subjects, was beginning to
lose his spirit in fighting Akbar.
In one incident that caused him extreme pain, his children's meal -
bread made from grass - was stolen by a dog. It is said that this
cut into Maharana Pratap's heart deeply. He began to have doubts
about his resolute refusal to submit to the Mughals. Perhaps in one
of these moments of self doubt - something each and every human
being goes through - Maharana Pratap wrote to Akbar demanding "a
mitigation of his hardship". Overjoyed at this indication of his
valiant foe's submission, Akbar commanded public rejoicing, and
showed the letter to a literate Rajput at his Court, Prince
Prithiraj. He was the younger brother of Rai Singh, the ruler of
Bikaner, a State established some eighty years earlier by the
Rathores of Marwar. He had been compelled to serve Akbar because of
his kingdom's submission to the Mughals. An award-winning poet,
Prithiraj was also a gallant warrior and a longtime admirer of the
brave Maharana Pratap Singh. He was astonished and grieved by
Maharana Pratap's decision, and told Akbar the note was the forgery
of some foe to defame the Mewar king. "I know him
well," he explained, "and he would never submit to your
terms." He requested and obtained Akbar's permission to send
a letter to Pratap, ostensibly to ascertain the fact of his
submission, but really with a view to prevent it. He composed the
couplets that have become famous in the annals of patriotism:
The hopes of the Hindu rest on the Hindu; yet the Rana forsakes
them. But for Pratap, all would be placed on the same level by
Akbar; for our chiefs have lost their valour and our females their
honour. Akbar is the broker in the market of our race: he has
purchased all but the son of Udai (Singh II of Mewar); he is beyond
his price. What true Rajput would part with honour for nine days
(nauroza); yet how many have bartered it away? Will Chittor come to
this market ...? Though Patta (an affectionate name for Pratap
Singh) has squandered away wealth (on warfare), yet he has
preserved this treasure. Despair has driven man to this market, to
witness their dishonour: from such infamy the descendant of Hamir
(Hamir Singh) alone has been preserved. The world asks, from where
does the concealed aid of Pratap emanate? None but the soul of
manliness and his sword ... The broker in the market of men (Akbar)
will one day be surpassed; he cannot live forever. Then will our
race come to Pratap, for the seed of the Rajput to sow in our
desolate lands. To him all look for its preservation, that its
purity may again become resplendent.
The now-famous letter led to Pratap reversing his decision and not
submitting to the Mughals, as was his initial but reluctant
intention. After 1587, Akbar relinquished his obsessive pursuit of
Maharana Pratap and took his battles into Punjab and India's
Northwest Frontier. Thus for the last ten years of his life,
Maharana Pratap ruled in relative peace and eventually freed most
of Mewar, including Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh, but not Chittor.
Bhagwat Singh Mewar: "Maharana Pratap Singh (was) called the light
and life of the Hindu community. There were times when he and his
family and children ate bread made of grass." Maharana Pratap
became a patron of the Arts. During his reign Padmavat Charita and
the poems of Dursa Ahada were written. Palaces at Ubheshwar, Kamal
Nath and Chavand bear testimony to his love of architecture. These
buildings, built in the dense hilly forest have walls adorned with
military-style architecture. But Pratap's broken spirit overpowered
him in the twilight of his years. His last moments were an
appropriate commentary on his life, when he swore his successor,
Crown Prince Amar Singh to eternal conflict against the foes of his
country's independence. Maharana Pratap was never able to win back
Chittor but he never gave up fighting to win it back.
In January 1597, Rana Pratap Singh I, Mewar's greatest hero, was
seriously injured in a hunting accident. He left his body at
Chavand, aged 56, on January 29, 1597. He died fighting for his
nation, for his people, and most importantly for his honor.
