Polygamy is illegal according to Indian law, not Hindu law. Before the English came, polygamy was in vogue in the community depending on one's wealth. Monogamy was a very Christian thing. When the constitution was made it made polygamy illegal. As u have pointed in one of your previous posts, our constitution is a copy of the British constitution (Victorian in flavour).
Hindiusm is extremely rigid in some aspects (caste system) and wonderfully flexible in other aspects (accepting monogamy, even though it was an integral part of the system). Its like a spectrum.
Your views project a different dimension and it would be easier for the reader if you stream them please.

No it is violant only according to Hindu Law(Anglo-Hindu Law) which is applicable to only Hindus. It is is dream of the rightists that this law be repealed to the original Hindu Law based upon our scriptures given by our great saints.
