The Law Code of Manu: A Timeless Guide to Ancient Indian Society
“Manu was seated, when the great seers came up to him: ‘Please, Lord, tell us the Laws of all the social classes, as well as of those born in between…’”
The Law Code of Manu stands as the most authoritative and well-known legal text of ancient India. For two thousand years, it has sparked debate, with Manu’s verses cited both for and against social structures, especially regarding women and lower castes.
