This Manusmriti is a very big tool which is used by non Hindus to show Vedic hinduism as casteist !! I have debated with a lot of the anti hindus and challenged them to show me instances from Vedas, Puranas, Itihasas which they could not. However they simply throw passages.

Now the problem is I am yet to see a genuine Manusmriti. People show translated Manusmriti, abridged ones and shady versions.

They quote some random verses from Manusmriti about all kinds of random punishments to be given to lower castes.

For eg. they say Manusmriti said lead should be poured in ears of Shudras who hear Vedas. If this were true, we should have such incidences reported in at least one of the other religious texts, which there is no mention.

Therefore this cannot be true as none of the other Hindu books even hint at such discrimination from Vedas, Puranas, Itihasas. Except for the concocted story of Sambhuka in a added 7th Khanda in Ramayana.

How is it possible that rest of Vedas, Puranas, Itihasas dont talk about any kind of discrimination or cruelty but Manusmriti according to these guys has cartload of such things.?? They are using some totally concocted Manusmriti.

Where is the real Manusmriti ? What does it actually say ?

If it is so casteist then why are Vedas and other books are almost free of them with no birth based Varna system or blatant caste based discrimiation ?

If someone comes up with a copy of Manusmriti how do we know it is the actual one?

If it has been totally distorted, then how do we get the real Manusmriti.

Can we dispel this confusion once for all.
