(i) Manusmriti On Nature of women :
2.213 "It is the very nature of women to corrupt men. It is for this reason that the wise are never unguarded regarding women."
Exactly same is mentioned in Mahabharata Anusasana Parva /48.47-48

Exactly same is mentioned in Mahabharata Anusasana Parva /48.47-48
Manusmriti 9.18 "Manu assigned to women sleep, sitting, ornament, lust, anger, dishonesty, malice and bad conduct."
1. Is #Manusmriti anti-women? It is often posited as such & one of the reasons given is that it states 'women do not deserve independence' which is interpreted as women being oppressed through repression of life choices especially in matters related to Artha & Kama.
But is it even a correct interpretation? Is Artha & Kama even the context in which the said verses are mentioned? How can Manu praise women at one place, and then repress them at another? What is the true teachings of ##Manusmriti on Stree-dharma?
Decoding Manusmṛti: Some Pointers To Make Sense Of Dharmaśāstra Texts
Why Maligned and Defamed? Scripture older than 200 BC which is orated in chaste Sanskrit following truthful impeccability of Panini “Asthadhyayi “ should have been matter of splendid inheritance and pride of intellectual competence for any civilization.

Yet, the discourse around Manu Smriti is based on rejection and repudiation on some fallacious imagination. Narratives have been manufactured about its anti-women right and anti-weaker Caste right. How it all started and who conspired to take it forward?
A painful yet factual truth which exists and the masses do not know is that we do not have an original copy of Manu Smriti today in our library. Infact we have today more than 50 manuscripts of Manu Smriti today and each claiming to be original and oldest.
For some in India, today is Christmas day, and for a few, it's tulsi poojan, which, of course, has a very bogus religious logic. But for us, this is #Manusmritidahandiwas. On this day in 1927, #BabaSaheb and his companions burned Manu smriti during the days of
#mahadsatyagarha. This is one of the main events of the fight of dalit struggle against the evil brahminical system. Let's remember this event proudly.
Upper caste savarana made all effort so that Dr. Ambedkar would not get land for the event. But a Muslim gentleman named

Understanding Manu Smriti-I: Women and Freedom
The much touted verse of misogyny in Manusmriti, actually has nothing anti-women in it.
ता रक्षति कौमारे भर्ता रक्षति यौवने ।
रक्षन्ति स्थाविरे पुत्राः न स्त्री स्वातन्त्र्यमर्हति ।। (Manu Smriti.9.3).

The much touted verse of misogyny in Manusmriti, actually has nothing anti-women in it.
ता रक्षति कौमारे भर्ता रक्षति यौवने ।
रक्षन्ति स्थाविरे पुत्राः न स्त्री स्वातन्त्र्यमर्हति ।। (Manu Smriti.9.3).
Almost everybody knows this verse from Manu Smriti for its misinterpreted meaning. This verse, which is often explained as denying women independence, has been touted as the ultimate proof of misogyny in Hinduism.
Yet, a thorough reading of the verse will reveal how the true import of the verse has been twisted and misinterpreted.
Let us now try to understand the true import of the verse.
First, the context.

MahaRishi Manu, a Kshatriya King, hailing from the Solar Dynasty and an ancestor of Prabhu Shri Rama has been vilified by the Marxist, Jihadi anti Hindu ''historians'' as a ''Brahman who created the most casteist as well as anti Dalit anti women'' laws ~ 1
Laws in his #Manusmriti that was written and compiled tens of thousands of years ago to '' establish Brahman hegemony'' over the ''lower castes''.
The fact is none of this is the truth. Majority of Hindus do not understand Sanskrit nor they have ever bothered to study

A line of these ancient scriptures so to counter the fake narrative of the Leftists and Jihadis and so called western scholars like Wendy Donniger, Audrey Truschke, who have continue to spew venom at Hindus and Hinduism and have interpolated our scriptures with false verses.

Today what stands as the "Nation-State" is the root of great civilization of (or called) "Bharat".
If the places are mapped as in Mahabharata, it appeared as giant as this bordered by Persia & China.

The constant thing among all was "Dharma" that bound the diversity of civilizations together without imposing own Smriti on other.

Mahad Satyagraha was a fight to assert the Dalits’ right to access "public water", and to embrace humanity and dignity.
For Dr Ambedkar—a staunch advocate of women’s rights and emancipation—it was a political action to burn #Manusmriti publicly.

I have been so fed up with many Hindus propagating misinformation about #Manusmriti saying nobody has access to the authentic text, or that it was fabricated by British, etc, I thought it is a good idea to take a picture of printed books of Manusmriti I have with me.
Here is a link to Manusmriti with six commentaries all in Sanskrit. The commentaries included are: Medatithi, Sarvajna-Narayana, Kulluka, Raghavananda, Nandana, & Ramachandra, most of them lived before the British even set foot on India- archive.org/details/manusm…
Here is a link to Manusmriti (Moola verses) with English translation of Medatithi's commentary, translated by Ganganath Jha- wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/…
Why people, even Brahmins hate Manusmriti? Have they even read it?
