Manusmriti Controversy:Why Hinduism Facing Abuse & Political Attacks?| Dr.ManishKr |Ashwini Upadhyay

The ancient Hindu text Manusmriti remains at the center of intense political, social, and constitutional debates across India. Critics frequently cite its verses to accuse Hinduism of promoting caste discrimination and social inequality, making it a recurring target for political attacks. Meanwhile, legal experts and scholars like Ashwini Upadhyay and Dr. Manish Kumar have discussed the historical context, legal implications, and ongoing controversies surrounding the text. The debate highlights deeper societal divisions regarding religious scriptures, constitutional values, equality, and free speech in modern India. Opposing viewpoints often clash over whether such texts should be viewed through historical lenses or condemned for contemporary social standards. This persistent friction reflects the complex relationship between ancient traditions, modern democratic laws, and political narratives in the country.
