What was the contribution of Manusamriti in Hinduism?

Prachi Panda 2nd Apr, 2022

Hello,

Manusmriti (MS) is an old legal text or 'dharmashastra' of Hinduism. It describes the social system from the time of the Aryans. This country had, by all accounts, an advanced civilisation and culture at the time, dating back to 3500 BC, even to 6000 or 8000 BC, according to some historians.

It is ascribed to the legendary first man and lawgiver, Manu. The received text dates from circa 100 ce.

Thank you.
