Details
Manu-Smriti is one of the most significant and widely referenced texts in ancient Indian tradition. It serves as a comprehensive legal and moral code, deeply rooted in the Vedic concept of rita (cosmic order) or dharma (duty and righteousness). The text establishes foundational principles related to purusharthas (goals of human life), ashramas (stages of life), and varnas (social classes), aiming to create an ideal, peaceful, and harmonious society.
The book provides a systematic study of Manu-Smriti, compiling scattered references on key topics, including human values, king’s duty (raja-dharma), crime and punishment, and gender roles. It also addresses common misconceptions surrounding the status of Brahmanas, Shudras, and women in Manu’s codes.
What makes this work unique is its modern perspective on Manu-Smriti's relevance, exploring topics such as economics, ecosystem management, and biodiversity conservation, showing Manu’s scientific approach to governance and nature.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars of sociology, religion, philosophy, ethics, ancient law, and political science, as well as anyone interested in understanding the foundational principles that shaped ancient Indian society.
