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.

Pingala's Binary System

Acharya Pingala discovered the immense possibilities of Binary numbers quite by accident, which today are used for Computing language. He was working on the meter or Chandah of Vedas. Our Vedas were composed in meters or Chandah.
Most Indian Languages have the Deerga or long swar and the Laghu or short swar. This combination of long and short sounds is the basis of Sanskrit prosody or meter or chandah. In 200 BCE, a work called Chandahsastra was authored by Pingala, the Mathematician.
