Manuvadi

Manuvāda is a political philosophy based on Manusmṛti, the foundational legal text of ancient India. Proponents of this worldview are called Manuvādis. The Manusmrti provides extensive instruction on the obligations of an individual throughout their life, and how these vary based on caste. While the Manusmrti was followed by Hindus for centuries, it has become controversial in the modern era due to its justification of the caste system and its treatment of women.
