Yesterday, @rohanreplies & his fellow classless Chamchas trolled me on this.
But I say this again - Dr. Ambedkar did refer the ‘#Manusmriti’ in drafting the ‘most significant legislation’ in the Constituent Assembly.
Let us look at the reference. It is quite interesting.

“There is no doubt that the two Smritikars whom I have mentioned— Yagnavalkya and Manu, rank the highest among the 137 who had tried their hands in framing Smritis.”

From this👇🏼 and the remarks of Dr. Ambedkar, it is clear that the two Smritikars— Yagnavalkya and Manu played an important role in drafting the co-parcenary law (Joint Heirship of Son & Daughter).
This also highlights the Women’s Rights mentioned in #Manusmriti.

From the time of the British Raj, various ancient Hindu texts have been used to draft laws for the Hindu Community.
The Constituent Assembly too used texts such as Manusmriti, Yagnavalkya Smriti, Arthashastra, etc. to draft the Hindu Code.

I am sure @rohanreplies and his fellow Chamchas won’t brand Kumari Selja as a ‘Sanghi’.
But if they wish, they’re free to call her whatever they want.
Also, take a look on the Editorial Board of ‘Collected Works of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’.
Any Sanghis on board?
