Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating exploration of ancient Indian law and society, delving into the codified rules and traditions that governed daily life. The author examines a pivotal text known as the Laws of Manu, a collection of ancient legal and social precepts, and places it within its broader context, drawing parallels to other ancient legal systems like those of Solon and Lycurgus. Through meticulous analysis and historical comparisons, the author dives deep into the intricate social hierarchy of the time, focusing on the roles and responsibilities of the four main castes: Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. The book sheds light on various aspects of ancient Indian life, from the intricate rituals and ceremonies surrounding birth and education, to the rules governing marriage and family life. The author also explores the complex system of jurisprudence, including laws concerning inheritance, property, and crime. The book delves into the philosophical underpinnings of this ancient legal system, exploring ideas of Dharma (righteousness) and the concept of transmigration, highlighting the profound influence of religious beliefs on everyday practices. The book offers a unique glimpse into the world of ancient India, providing a rich and nuanced understanding of the legal framework that shaped the lives of its people.
