Yogesh Singh, Delhi University's Vice-Chancellor has clarified that LLB students will not be taught 'Manusmriti', an ancient Hindu legal text after a controversy erupted over reports that a proposal to teach the manuscript in undergraduate courses was placed for approval.
Singh said the Faculty of Law suggested changes in the paper titled 'Jurisprudence' and their suggestions included readings on 'Manusmriti', which the university rejected. Meanwhile, a proposal to teach 'Manusmriti' to DU's LLB students is slated to be discussed in a meeting of its Academic Council on Friday.
The Congress hit out at the BJP over the 'Manusmriti' proposal and said the manuscript was "unconstitutional". The party's Scheduled Caste department also called for protests against the proposed move at the state and district levels.
The Mānavadharmaśāstra, also known as Manusmriti or the Laws of Manu, is a Sanskrit text belonging to the Dharmaśāstra literary tradition of Hinduism. Composed sometime between the 2nd century BCE and 3rd century CE, the Manusmriti is written in sloka verses, containing two non-rhyming lines of 16 syllabi each.
