Dharmasastra: A Link Between Tradition and Modernity

 
B.K. Swain (Author)
Synopsis

This book contains many a serious topic on Dharmasastra. Conspicuous among them is on Smartavarnasrama Dharma and the law of welfare relating to the very aim of Hindu social life. Another interesting topic is related to development of Dharmasastra highlighting Orissan contribution to the Dharmasastra tradition. Caste-system Vs casteism is a theme where varnadharma and jatidharma are discussed. A serious researcher would not be disappointed if he goes through the topic "Indian Identity : An analysis of its anatomy" where stress is given more on Cultural identity than political identity. "Socio-political philosophy of Manu" is of many sided significance which basically supports customs and rituals in smarta tradition. Besides these, two other articles viz. "Lokatantra in Mahabharata and its present day relevance" and "Significance of Lokacara" are discussed with a comparative approach made by different law makers who have established the necessary link between the two seemingly different aspects, tradition and modernity. In a nutshell this book is a significant contribution to the field of Dharmasastra and its present day relevance.
