manusmriti

LAWS OF MANU
However what is fake and what is not fake will remain a personal choice since this is a
smriti (What is orally transmitted over generations). After all the sacred law is also
made of personal benefits of the superior caste even according to Manu’s exposition.
The paradox really do not end with Manusmriti. The situation is no different in the
other Smriti texts nor in the Sruti (Heard) Texts. All of them were handed down by
word of mouth and defies any historical verification. Look at the explanation of
Hinduism anywhere. Here is the best answer according to popular votes I found in the
Yahoo India Askers:
“Hinduism is the oldest religion of all world religions. For hundreds of years, it has
been searched for some evidence about its founder, but no one could point a finger at
a specific founder or its date of origin. Even the authors of its sacred texts are largely
unknown. The system exists from time immemorial and there is no exact beginning of
this religion. It has no particular fonder but has many Rishis, Saints, Gurus, and
leaders who reformed and revived the existing culture and traditions. It has developed
out of Brahmanism.”
Most of what is passed on as Hinduism is of very recent origin which can be traced
back at best only to the second century Christian Era though by Brahminic connivance
it is clained a “Sanatana Dharama”, the Eternal Way. At best it is a tradition
controlled essentially by the rich and learned by keeping the masses under ignorance.
In my book Emergence of Hinduism I have shown that basic modern “Hinduism” is
gnosticised Christianity. But the Christian influence is only partial because it was
rewritten manytimes even after that and reinterpreted by every new incarnation of
“God”.
The solution to this as proposed by Dr. Ambedkar and his followers was simply burn
the book. It is no more sacred. It is imperative that those who want to control the
masses will still persist on insisting the Smriti as still in consonance with the Vedas
and all Hindus and Indians should be subject to it. Even the Vedas cannot stand the
test of truthfulness or historicity.
