RSS outfit wants 'objectionable things' deleted from Manusmriti

May 14, 2017 09:25

The RSS's cultural affiliate Sanskar Bharti, is planning to tie up with the Union ministry of culture to promote activities that will "correct the lies that people have been fed' about ancient Hindu scriptures being "anti-Dalit and anti-woman', starting with the Manusmriti, a senior office-bearer of the organisation has told Pragya Kaushika in The Sunday Express.

According to Amir Chand, joint organisational secretary, Sanskar Bharti, who has been quoted in the report as saying, 'There are some references in Manusmriti where some objectionable things have been mentioned. It should be deleted. We do not support them. We have to see Manusmriti in today's context. We will suggest to the government that they look into this.'

Pragya also quotes Union Minister of Culture Mahesh Sharma as saying, 'We have not received any such proposal. We will take cognisance once we get it.'
