Product Description
-:ABOUT THE BOOK:-
Detractors of the Manu Dharma Shastra aka Manusmriti view it through the perspective of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. However, they miss an important point. Dr. Ambedkar himself had called for clarification on the Manu—“…an attempt at clarification is absolutely essential so that the confusion due to different people imagining differently the design of Manu may be removed…” (The Triumph of Brahmanism: Regicide or the Birth of Counter-Revolution).
The Religion of the Shudras and the Manu Dharma Shastra has been written in response to this call. Was the Manusmriti a regressive text of patriarchy and casteism, as its detractors claim? Or was it, in fact, the most radically liberal and egalitarian lawbook of its era, far ahead of those imposed by contemporary cultures? What is the real story behind Manusmriti’s laws for the “Time of distress” which are at the epicentre of criticism? Explore the historical and textual evidence shared in this book and judge for yourself.
