It is ironic that I have to educate someone ,who was so confident that Hindu code follow Hindu religious laws, on basic history. Hindu code

was not based on Hindu laws as it incorporated innovations based on secular western thought on marriage, property, and divorce, while
ignoring Hindu traditional/shastra laws .
This is an excerpt printed from “The Hindu national movement and Indian politics from 1925 to 1990’s by Christopher Jaffrelot” in Outlook

It clearly states that Hindu civil code was not based on Hindu personal laws, and included several reforms which were opposed by many people
on the grounds ranging from undue interference in Hindu personal laws to Hindus being singled out for interference.
Here are pics from book “India after Gandhi” of @Ram_Guha. Probably, he may be willing to defend his work,or not as it is antithetical to
.@Ram_Guha concept of Muslim male privilege.
This pic contain portion in which Swami Kriparti opposed Hindu code:
This pic contain portion in which foreign expert testify that Hindu civil code completely supplants shastras as source of Hindu law, and it
to be compared only to ‘code Napolean’ in boldness and innovation.
Here is its criticism of Hindu code of changing Hindu laws, while leaving Muslim laws untouched.

It is not that I am salty about changed made to Hindu laws as most of them were progressive; What amazes me is that so called “liberals”
and “seculars” are not only willing to throw Muslim women under the bus for sake of protecting Muslim male privilege, but also provide such
lame arguments that any amendment in personal laws need to conform to religious beliefs, when there is an established precedence that there
is no need to conform to religious beliefs when drafting or amending personal laws, a precedence that has been strengthened every time any
of Hindu civil code has been amended.
To add: Here are views of P.V. Kane's(no one has researched & written more profusely on Hindu laws then PV Kane) opinion on Hindu code:

I am not arguing that multiple marriages should be allowed for Hindus, but that, if a Muslim practice is antithetical to general morality,it
should be amended as practices that were considered immoral in contemporary world were banned;and Supreme court's logic that they would not
change any aspect of Muslim personal law, if it is part of their religion is morally obtuse as there is a clear precedence that personal
laws could be changed unilaterally without giving a damn about religious requirements.
