Harikumar Pallathadka

Hindu Law Code of Manu for the 21st Century: Researched and Revised Edition Harikumar Pallathadka

This research book deals with the social ideas delineated in the Manusmriti composed originally before 2300 B. C. by Manu, a mythical sage and the first King of divine origin in India. The Manusmriti presents itself as a discourse given by Manu to a group of seers, who beseech him to tell them the "law of all the social classes". It became the standard point of reference for all future texts that followed it. According to Hindu tradition, the Manusmriti records the words of Brahma. This research work explains the ideas of Manu with effective commentaries which are rewritten and revised according to the 21st Century.
