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. @THinduz
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.
in Fact the Manu Smriti, the one that Ambedkar burnt on 25th Dec 1927 was also not original rather a mistranslated version. Who translated Manu Smriti?
And what was the source of this translation? It is never revealed objectively to the vast audience just to fuel the controversy and malign the cultural heritage of India.
William Jones in 1794 an English Judge in Kolkata used his choice and imagination to translate this Great Scripture written in chaste Panini Sanskrit. Was he a Sanskrit scholar? No and he himself never claimed so. Thereafter two more British clerks William Hunter and Max Muller
Who are decorated orientalists choose their words, sentences and imagination to create English translation of Manu Smriti.
Both never read Panini Grammar Ashtadhyayi. William Jones, Max Muller and Hunter had a common objective to manufacture a divisive narrative and fuel hatred
In a section of Sanatan society. And they were able to plant the seed successfully. They were missionaries on mission to discredit any religious value and heritage other than their own. Worldwide,
The communist and left leaning fake intellectuals have demeaned every tradition which has impeded their theory of class struggle.
Hence, endless reams of paper were conspired and printed denouncing specially two aspect of Manu Smriti to the masses and especially
To the impressionable young generation. Unjustified Female rights and against the scientific idea of feminism. Inequality among the caste and suppression of Dalit Right.There are series of Shlokas written in those inherited Sanskrit Manu Smriti which stands for the rights,
Liberties and freedom of females. Critique can pick up another set of shlokas from among these sets of inherited manuscript manipulating and abusing the same spirit. Why so? Answer is, all the manuscripts in hand are not carrying the Vedic essence on which the Manu Smriti
Is based upon. Yes, with 50 original yet varied authorless manuscripts, literary incorruptibility is never guaranteed. Manu Smriti is narrated by Sage Manu and Maharishi Bhrigu on conduct of Social and moral value to be pursued by the society.
And hence it carries forward the same Vedic essence. The Rig Veda mentions some of supreme female scholar Romasha, Lopamudra, Apala, Kadru, Visvavara, Ghosha, Juhu, Vagambhrini, Paulomi, Yami, Indrani, Savitri, and Devajami. The Sama Veda adds Nodha, Akrishtabhasha,
Rishi AGASTYA invented battery and modern electricity concepts
Rishi Agastya is a prominent name in the history of India and occupies a pivotal role for generating the idea of portable electricity. @THinduz
Based on principles suggested by him, the concept of portable electricity came into existence in the Indian mainland among the Hindus, while the rest of the world remained obscure from the concept altogether.
It is believed that the science of such energy was passed on from the gods to the rishis, which manifested itself in the form of numerous war weapons which have been used from time to time in all major wars in India, such as the sudarshan chakra and the brahmastra.

Understanding Manu Smriti-I: Women and Freedom
The much touted verse of misogyny in Manusmriti, actually has nothing anti-women in it.
ता रक्षति कौमारे भर्ता रक्षति यौवने ।
रक्षन्ति स्थाविरे पुत्राः न स्त्री स्वातन्त्र्यमर्हति ।। (Manu Smriti.9.3).
Almost everybody knows this verse from Manu Smriti for its misinterpreted meaning. This verse, which is often explained as denying women independence, has been touted as the ultimate proof of misogyny in Hinduism.
Yet, a thorough reading of the verse will reveal how the true import of the verse has been twisted and misinterpreted.
Let us now try to understand the true import of the verse.
First, the context.
Did you Know?
Dowry Didn't Evolve from India.
Where did We Get This Terrible Idea?
Hindus got it from the Europeans - - especially from the British occupiers where this evil practise of buying a groom/bride was being practised in Britain since time medieval times.
According to several sources, the present dowry practice in India can be traced only to the 19th century - likely because that is when Indians observed the full-fledged practice of dowry among the British in India.
Here are some excerpts from a wonderfully, enlightening book, The Marriage Bargain, Women and Dowries in European History :
"In France, the dowry was almost a universal institution, even among servants, laborers and tenant farmers, until the interwar era (1918-1939).

Ancient Bharat's Forgotten Scientists & Mathematicians
Pingala's Binary System
Acharya Pingala is said to have lived around 400-200 BC, maybe earlier and is believed to be the brother of the well known Sanskrit grammarian MahaRishi Pāṇini.
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.
Snakes and Ladders is an ancient Indian game which was brought to the west by the British in 1892.
It was called Mokshapath meaning Path to Salvation.
In sanskrit Moksha=Salvation and Path=Path.
This game originated in ancient India and was called Mokshapath which means the path of salvation.
It was also called Param Pad Sopanam or The Highest Place.
The ultimate goal of the game was to achieve salvation by reaching the top.
Every time a person does a bad deed, he ends up at the snake’s mouth and is demoted in the game of attaining salvation.
