Believe me reading the Book 'Just A Few Lies' gives same excitement of seeing a live IPL match in a crowded stadium...!!!



For the first time I read Author Sandeep Sharma’s book Just A Few Lies, and realized that ‘the Books Authored by Sandeep Sharma are just like Constructions designed by “Heavenly Architect Vishwakarma” and this is not my assumption only, here the author has proved it on papers…!

The author knows how to play with words like a snake charmer plays with cobras. Here respected author has penned down his best talent and poured both the flavours of Romance and Thriller in this single novel which we can read in a single go. Believe me reading this book gives same excitement of seeing a live IPL match in a crowded stadium.

Mr.Sandeep Sharma has worked hard to shower life in his fictitious characters in this novel. Where Mr. Anant, a renowned Best seller author and Sagarika, a Blogger are the main characters here as well as remaining all other characters like Alok, Kavya, Raman are also play their role beautifully and make this story a tremendous novel. Overall I can say the author has given a good flow and flavour to this book, that gives something more to the readers and book lovers.

Mr.Arvind Parashar, a blessed author penned down his best talent in this novel “Messed Up! But All For Love”. He has done an wonderful combination of Romance and Thriller, both the genres in a single novel. I feel myself in this beautiful journey of reading. Author Arvind has succeed to turn his fiction novel into a real life story describing book.

This book describes all the situations of Neil and Gauri they faced, in this novel. We can feel several flavours like Love, Anger, misunderstanding, argument, compromise and finally patch up in a single book. For the youth Generation who are in relationship, this is a must read book for them. I found fabulous Poetic nature in Neil.
When I was reading the pages 94 and 95, I loved Neil’s message for Gauri, on Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM with Naved… and the message I would like to mention here:

“Okey, Suno fir Gauri...main tumko ye batana chahta hu ki ...main apne dil se khoon cheer kar nikalunga aur uski syahi banaunga aur fir usse ek kore kagaz par kuchh likhunga… kuch log usko kavita ya shayari kahenge, lekin wo mere liye pyar hai, mai tumko pyar Karta hu.”

In this book, the author has proved the title of the Novel, at the end. The happy ending of this story comes with Gauri, where she is murmuring Neil's Most favourite song ‘Buried Treasure’ by Kenny Rogers and in the end, once again the song makes them one and once again they feel a beautiful ray of light in their love life.

I loved this book. Especially Author Arvind’s art of weaving the words in a beautiful manner impressed me a lot. Overall It's a must read novel for youth of this Generation.

Reviewed the Book "Sick of Being Healthy" authored by Monisha K Gumber, and here I am sharing my views on this Novel


The Book ‘SICK OF BEING HEALTHY’, a beautiful book by Authoress Monisha K Gumber.
Tara, Megha, Dolly and Karan are most repeated characters in this book. Tara is a teenaged chubby girl and here the author has penned  down all her problems, frustrations, depression, unrealistic aspirations in such an wonderful way in this book. Here the author has mentioned two characters named Megha and Dolly as her (Tara’s) family friends and Karan as her (Tara's) crush.

I salute authoress Monisha, as she has penned down all the real issues faced by a teenager girl in this book and I feel this is a must read book for all the teenager girls. I found the pages 112 to 114 owing most important messages for the girls. The way the authoress has designed the whole book with cartoons, social media site screenshots, images with good quotes and messages has made this book more beautiful and interesting.

Finally, I would like to recommend this book to all the teenaged girls as it will be helpful for them in their daily personal life to grow up with their aspirations in an inspired way.

Review of the Book "The Highway Man" authored by Award winning author J. Alchem

Honestly saying initially I was not interested in reading a small book having short stories. But as My Friend Dharaa said me about this book “The Highway Man” and asked me to once read this Book, I purchased the Kindle edition today and read it.
This Book consists of 3 short stories, they are (i) Catherine, (ii) Sidzy For a Day and (iii) The Highway Man.

In the first story “Catherine”, its really nice to read about the characters Dr. Rusenvelt, The Author Nicholas Sieum his father Nicholas Will and the fiction character Catherine the nonexistent heroine in Sieum's Novel with whom the author Sieum fall in love and afterwards this is cured by the doctor in a great psychological way…..
One important thing I found in this story the Author's love letter to his fiction heroine Catherine. You can't stop your tears if you feel it deeply..

The second story “Sidzy For a Day” is all about a couple Sidzy and Jihan. The love and attachment among this couple are penned by the author nicely.
A sentence said by Sidzy (mentioned below) to her husband Jihan is really mindblowing,
“I have never seen heaven but I am damn sure, Heaven has two chocolate brown eyes, a long sharp nose, two rosy cheeks, a short beard, and two big and strong hands to wipe away tears. My Jihan is my heaven and I love him more than anything and anyone in this world!”
Really an amazing story touching the deepest part of the heart. I really loved this story a lot.

The Third and last story is “The Highway Man” where Ayaan, Rohan and The Highway Man are the most pronouncing characters.
Ayaan, a 7 years old boy who lost his mom Sunaina on a Road accident, Rohan is Ayaan’s father. After his mom's death Ayaan lost his smile but once on the way to Agra a stranger met them, had a lift and traveled upto Agra, and on the way to stranger surprisingly succed to bring back Ayaan’s smile once again.
Here while reading this there  I discovered two of its most important sentences (mentioned below) which was said to Rohan by The Highway Man, the stranger really impressed me a lot.

One is,
“Life is not about missing what is gone but counting and cherishing what you have.”

And the another one is,

“I’ll meet you in Ayaan’s smile,”

For the real taste of all these three stories you need to go through this book and as an author I would like to refer this book to all my book lover friends. It's an Amazing book by the Award winning Author J Alchem. I am thankful to him as he authored such a nice book.

"My Mother A Tribute of A Yearing Son"… Such a holy, true story defining book penned by such a great author. I got this book from the honourable Author Subhrajyoti Parida Ji and took two consecutive days to complete it. On the very same day when I thought to post a review on this book a inner voice made me thinking repeatedly that how and what to explain about a mother, who is our living goddess, what to write about the book, which is fully narrated the word 'Mother’..the holiest word in the world and Universes ! Few of its major incidents made me cry while I was reading it.
However today once again It came to mind.. and I feel I should post my journey throughout reading this beautiful book.

Here the author Subhrajyoti, explained how his mother struggled with cancer and a day how she stopped breathing. How his family and himself supported in her last days but still failed to save her life..The bond of a son with his mother, no need to explain here. It seems clearly. Subhrajyoti has penned his real feelings and real words here.

And also the author has composed some beautiful poems and dedicated those to his loving mother. This book is not only a simple book, it includes a son’s beautiful heart with it.

So I must love to see this book again and again….and would appeal to my friends especially those who are book and Novel lovers, please grab a copy each and enjoy it. I am sure all the readers also may feel the real emotion and affection in this book as fellt by me.

'UNNS', an Wonderful book by Sapan Saxena;

UNNS’

The author Sapan Saxena selected this unique word which meant to the Love among its seven stages. Its a complete tale of love.

While reading the book, I felt like I know the Main character Atharva somewhere in my real-life, but few moments later I could realise that this is a friction character. The authors are known as Bramha (The Creator Lord in ancient Hindu Mythology)  of his/her creation… and here the author has  proved this. The way respected author has put the right characters in the right place through out the story, is  really outstanding. The raised Love in teenage and it's down fall, the life of Atharva as a RAW agent and the way he meets Meher once again in Germany beautifully but failed his mission because of Meher is narrated​ wisefully. I really started liking the lead character Atharva because of his daring as well as his innocence nature and his love for Meher. But the story does not end here. After completing his imprisonment, Atharva once again comes across Meher…. And the story is really interesting...

While reading this copy, Sometime I felt it I was reading a book of romantic journey and sometimes a book of a thriller. If I say, the second part of the story really filmy…. really amazing..!

Hence as an author, I would like to recommend this book, and could say If a booklover reads the entire story of UNNS once, he must not stop himself/herself to read it twice, thrice or some more.

Now You Can grab your book and enjoy an worthy reading.

ODISHA, TAMILNADU AND THEIR ANCIENT BONDING !!!

ODISHA, TAMILNADU AND THEIR ANCIENT BONDING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The interaction between Odisha and south India is a very ancient one, given their proximity and similiar peninsular history from shared history of Sanskritisation and maritime activities to extensive contribution to Hindu way of life including patronisation of Buddhism,Ajivika and Jainism for a very long time.

The Sanskrit factor makes a lot of vocabulary similar as derived from same root word. Same goes for Odia too. Not to mention, much of the scripts of Indian subcontinent are all derived from the same root which linguists called Bramhi.

When Northern india was Islamised, huge cultural exchange between the Hindu Vijayanagara empire and Hindu Gajapati dynasty of Odisha, led to great many exchange of ideas and people. Odia script evolved partially in the patronage of Brahmins from South who were invited by kings (The Gajapathis) of Puri. Therefore there are marked Dravidian influences that is usually associated with South Indian languages.
Some of Letters in Odia language and Tamil language are seeming same typed font.

Secondly, there are many forest tribes in Odisha like Khonds who are classified as of Dravidian origin. Their contribution to Odia colloquial vocabulary can be counted as a Dravidian influence.

Thirdly, in many ways Telugu and Odia share a sisterly relation, just like Kannada and Marathi, as over the ages the regions of influence have overlapped back and forth and with the shared heritage of Kalingan empire. Though both languages have departed a long way with Telugu evolving under Kannada and Tamil influences, and Odia under North Indian influences, some similarities in the languages can still be obvious to a keen eye.
One main similarity is the rounded scripts of both languages which was because of use palm leaf during medieval times.

Daabu is used colloquially in Odia as a reference to money while Dabulu is the popular word for money in Telugu. Other regional odia words include
Nanaa (father)
Jaagarta (diligent)
Kaakurti (hurry)
Chaaru (rasam) and so on.
Also similarities in numerals too.

In Tamil, the suffix 'paa' is used for men and maa for women folks( friendly da and di)
Similarly in Odia, 're' is used for men and 'lo' for women.
Fourthly both Tamil and Odia have some similarities that is not observed in many North Indian languages..
for example

the numeral ‘1’ is used in three different forms in Odia.
eka , when it denotes a number in counting
"jone", when denoting the singularity in humans
gotiye , when denoting the singularity of an object

In Tamil too 'unne,' is used for numeric counting while 'oru' is used for objects.
In both Tamil and Odia, the sentence could be constructed in multiple ways and they still make perfect sense.

Some similar words in Tamil and Odia (non-sanskritic) languages :
English/Odia/Tamil
Green/Paccha/Pacchai
Small/sano/chinna
Rice/Chaaula/Sooru
Side/Paakhe/pakka
Go/pola/po
Time/Bela/Velai
Come/Aasantu/Vaantu
Butterfly/Prajaapati/Pattampucci
Fish/Mina/Meen
Small settlement/ Palli/Palli
palm sap/Taadi/Toddy
Pepper/Maricha/Milaku
Male/Andira/An

In various Rituals also the Way of worshiping the God/ Goddess and putting rangoli culture is also having many similarities between Odisha and Tamilnadu culture.

Hence I love Tamilnadu and odisha both.

WHAT IS JALLIKATTU AND WHY FEW NGOs OPPOSED IT?

WHAT IS JALLIKATTU AND WHY FEW NGOs OPPOSED IT?
_________________________________________________________

What is Jallikattu :

"Jalli"+"Kattu", which refers to the gold or silver coins which will be tied around the bull's neck or on the horns. And the participants will take that small bag of coin/coins as his prize after he controls the Bull.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
How and why it is being celebrated :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Stud bulls are reared by people for jallikattu. Among the participated Bulls, the one that win are much in demand for servicing the cows. Small farmers cannot afford to keep stud bulls, so each village has a common temple bull which services the cows of the village. Jallikattu is the show where bulls are brought and exhibited. The ones which are most agile (and virile) are preferred by farmers. The calves from such bulls are in demand.

The intricate connect between these events and farming can be seen from the chronological order in which showcase events like jallikattu happen first, then the shandies and then the main farming season starts. Once harvest is done, farmers take their bulls to participate in such events over the next few months; spectators and visitors make a note of the top bulls and seek them out in sandhais (cattle shandies/markets) which happen from December till April all over Tamil Nadu. The calves and bulls are bought for jallikattu and some of their offspring will be castrated and used as draught animals in transport/farming.

Stud bulls need to be alert, virile, and agile. In the peak of their reproductive period, they need to secrete the necessary male hormones and experience adrenalin rushes and pumping hearts. They need this for them to be virile. This is in the interest of the species as selective breeding is done to propagate the species. Stud bulls are used for jallikattu and mating only. Experienced bulls enjoy the situation and display a well thought out exit from the vaadi vaasal. Many of them show off by shaking their heads as a warning. This shows their familiarity with the Jallikattu event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Why and Who are Opposing Jallikattu and What are the main reasons behind it ??
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There are few angles to the opposition.

First is the urban disconnect with rural India and all that it entails. Policies are made by city folks.

The second group is the dairy lobby, which wants all native breeds to be eradicated. Events like jallikattu throw a spanner in their plans of creating commercial dairy farms with imported breeds just like in the West.

Beef exporters also benefit from a ban on jallikattu and other events. Farmers bring their cattle to be sold in weekly/monthly and annual shandies. Brokers will take the cattle from the farmers and hold them to be displayed to prospective buyers. Buyers fall into 3-4 categories: (1) The jallikattu enthusiast who will buy the bulls and male calves mostly; (2) Buyers of oxen for farming/transport; (3) Buyers of cows for breeding and household usage; (4) Beef traders who are mostly if not all agents of export companies and slaughter houses based in Kerala. They buy all cattle as they are only interested in meat.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Negative side of Banning the Jallikattu:
--------------------------------------------------------------
When a ban on jallikattu is in place, the simple supply-demand equation gets skewed. There are no takers in the first category, which means the bulls will only sought by the fourth category i.e. beef traders. With no demand from jallikattu enthusiasts, the price of such prized bulls falls to rock bottom. By killing the market for bulls to be used in jallikattu, the animal rights activists are directly responsible for sending them to slaughter. There is a huge demand for Bos Indicusvariety beef in the Gulf, Malaysia and Western countries. It is considered an exotic and healthy meat, just like country chicken.
---------------------------------------------------------------
What we can Do and what's our responsibility while celebrating our traditional events :
----------------------------------------------------------------
Finally this topic brings up the discussion of the practicality of Festivals in India. In the Subcontinent, our festivals were never environmental messes, they were celebrated in ways which the enviroment protected and sustained. South Asians should aim to celebrate Holi using natural dyes and powders, Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Puja using Clay murtis, Bakra Eid without creating bloody streets, Basant without manjhas that can kill people, Diwali with lighting diyas etc. We shouldn't change the purpose of our festivals, we should bring little modifications in our practices to make them environment friendly nothing other than that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion :
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I always support Jallikattu and the Sentiments of crores of Tamilian never could be banned or hurted by any Judiciary System.

किसको चाहिए मनुवाद से आज़ादी ????

किसको चाहिए मनुवाद से आज़ादी ????
--------------------------------------------------------------
तथाकथित नकली समाज सुधारक, जिन्होंने मनुस्मृति को कभी ठीक तरह से बिश्लेशन तक करने की कोशिस नहीं किये, उनके तरफ से मनुस्मृति जैसे पवित्र वैदिक राष्ट्रिय ग्रन्थ पर लगाये जाने वाले तीन मुख्य आरोप और उस आरोप को मनुस्मृति के द्वारा ही में खंडन करना चाहूँगा।
----------------------------------------------------------------
आरोप १:
जन्म के आधार पर जातिप्रथा का निर्माण मनु द्वारा किया हुआ प्रथा है।

उत्तर:
यह जाती ब्यबस्था नहीं वर्ण व्यवस्था है । वर्ण शब्द “वृञ” धातु से बनता है जिसका अर्थ चुनना या वरण करना होता हे। जैसे वर अर्थात् कन्या द्वारा चुना गया पति। ईससे पता चलता है कि वैदिक व्यवस्था कन्या को अपना पति चुनने का पूर्ण अधिकार देती है ।

मनुस्मृति ३.१०९ (3.109) में साफ़ कहा है कि अपने गोत्र या कुल की दुहाई देकर भोजन करने वाले को स्वयं का उगलकर खाने वाला माना जाए | अतः मनुस्मृति के अनुसार जो जन्मना ब्राह्मण या ऊँची जाति वाले अपने गोत्र या वंश का हवाला देकर स्वयं को बड़ा कहते हैं और मान-सम्मान की अपेक्षा रखते हैं उन्हें तिरस्कृत किया जाना चाहिए |

मनुस्मृति २. १३६ (2.136): धनी होना, बांधव होना, आयु में बड़े होना, श्रेष्ठ कर्म का होना और विद्वत्ता यह पाँच सम्मान के उत्तरोत्तर मानदंड हैं | इन में कहीं भी कुल, जाति, गोत्र या वंश को सम्मान का मानदंड नहीं माना गया है |

वर्णों में परिवर्तन करने का नियम :

मनुस्मृति १०.६५(10.65): ब्राह्मण भी शूद्र बन सकता और शूद्र भी ब्राह्मण हो सकता है | इसी प्रकार क्षत्रिय और वैश्य भी अपने वर्ण बदल सकते हैं ।

मनुस्मृति ९.३३५(9.335): शरीर और मन से पवित्र रहने वाला, ज्ञानी लोगों के साथ साथ रहने वाला, मिष्ठभाषी, नीरहंकार, अपने से उच्च वर्ण वालों की सेवा करने वाला शूद्र भी उत्तम ब्राम्हण व द्विज वर्ण को प्राप्त कर लेता है |

मनुस्मृति के ज्यादात्तर श्लोक कहते हैं कि उच्च वर्ण का व्यक्ति भी यदि उच्च कर्म नहीं करता, तो शूद्र (अशिक्षित) बन जाता है |

मनुस्मृति उस काल की है जब जन्म के हिसाब से जाति व्यवस्था के विचार का भी कोई अस्तित्व नहीं था। मनुस्मृति जन्म के आधार पर जाती ब्यबस्था का कहीं भी समर्थन नहीं करती | महर्षि मनु ने मनुष्य के गुण  कर्म स्वभाव पर आधारित समाज व्यवस्था की रचना कर के वेदों में ईश्वर द्वारा दिए गए निर्देश का ही पालन किया है ( ऋग्वेद-१०.१०.११-१२,  यजुर्वेद-३१.१०-११, अथर्ववेद-१९.६.५-६) |
------------------------------------------------------------------
आरोप २:
शूद्रों को नीच दिखाना और उनके लिए कठोर दंड का विधान करना और ब्रम्हण जैसे ऊँची जात में जन्मीत लोगों के लिए विशेष प्रावधान रखना मनु द्वारा प्रणीत घृण्य ब्यबस्था हे।

उत्तर :
मनुस्मृति के २६८५ (2685) में से १४७१ (1471) श्लोक प्रक्षिप्त पाए गए हैं मतलब आधी से ज्यादा मनुस्मृति मिलावटी है ।
( हम एक बार फ़िर कहना चाहते हे कि मूल रूप का मनुस्मृति के हिसाब से जन्म से ही कोई ब्राह्मण या द्विज नहीं होता, जाती का सम्बन्ध सिर्फ शिक्षा प्राप्ति से है | )

यदि, हम वेदों पर आधारित मूल मनुस्मृति का अवलोकन करें तो मनु की दण्ड व्यवस्था अपराध का प्रकार और प्रभाव, अपराधी की शिक्षा, पद और समाज में उसके रुतबे पर निर्भर करता हे। ज्ञानी लोगों को मनु ब्राह्मण का दर्जा देकर अधिक सम्मान देते हैं | जो विद्या, ज्ञान और संस्कार से दूसरा जन्म प्राप्त कर द्विज बन चुके हैंवे अपने सदाचार से ही समाज में प्रतिष्ठा पाते हैं | अधिक सामर्थ्यवानव्यक्ति, क्षमतासम्पर्ण ब्यक्ति अधिक जवाबदेही भी होते हे। यदि वे अपने उत्तरदायित्व कोनिभाते में असफल रहते हैं तो वे अधिक कठोर दण्ड के भागी हैं ।

मनुस्मृति ८.३३५(8.335) -  जो भी अपराध करे, वह अवश्य दण्डनीय है चाहे वह पिता, माता, गुरु, मित्र, पत्नी, पुत्र या पुरोहित ही क्यों न हो |

मनुस्मृति ८.३३६(8.336) -  जिस अपराध में सामान्य जन को एक पैसा दण्ड दिया जाए वहां शासक वर्ग को एक हजार गुना दण्ड देना चाहिए |  दूसरे शब्दों में जो कानूनविद् हैं, प्रशासनिक अधिकारी हैं यान्यायपालिका में हैं वे अपराध करने पर सामान्य नागरिक से १००० गुना अधिकदण्ड के भागी हैं |

मनुस्मृति ८.३३७ (8.337) व ८.३३८(8.338) -  अगर कोई अपनी इच्छा से और अपने पूरे होशो हवास में चोरी करता है तो उसे एक सामान्य चोर से ८(8) गुना सजा का प्रावधान होनाचाहिए – यदि वह शूद्र है, अगर वैश्य है तो १६ गुना, क्षत्रिय है तो ३२(32) गुना, ब्राह्मण है तो ६४ (64) गुना | यहां तक कि ब्राह्मण के लिए दण्ड १०० (100) गुना या १२८ (128) गुना तक भी हो सकताहै | दूसरे शब्दों में दण्ड अपराध करने वाले की शिक्षा और सामाजिक स्तर केअनुपात में होना चाहिए |
इसीसे ये प्रतीत होता हे मनु शुद्र जाती ( शिक्षा के आधार पर ) प्रति वेसे कोई अन्याय पूर्ण दंड बिधान नहीं किये वल्कि शिक्षा के कमी के कारण दंड निति में राहत भी दिए हुए है।

आरोप ३:

मनु नारी का विरोधी था और उनका तिरस्कार करता था और उसने स्त्रियों के लिए पुरुषों से कम अधिकार का विधान किया ।

उत्तर : वेद के बाद मनुस्मृति ही एक ऐसा ग्रन्थ हे जो नारी जाती को सन्मान व स्वाभिमान से जीने का अधिकार देता हे।
मनुस्मृति ३.५६ – जिस समाज और परिवार में नारी जाती का आदर सम्मान होता है, वहां देवता एवं सुख़ समृद्धि निवास करते हैं और जहां इनका तिरस्कार होता हे वहां सभी काम निष्फल हो जाते हैं भले ही कोई कितना भी श्रेष्ट कर्म कर लें उसको नारी जाती प्रति असम्मान दिखने की कारण अत्यंत दुखों का सामना करना पड़ता है ।
ये पंक्तिया ये प्रमाणित करते हे की मनु मातृशक्ति का आदर करते थे ल। और मनुस्मृति का ये नियम हर एक समाज, हर एक परिवार, राष्ट्र और समग्र मानव जाति पर लागू होता है।

में गर्ब के साथ ये समस्त बेबुनियाद आरोपों को खंडित करना चाहूँगा। क्यों की आरोप करने वाले खुद ही कुश्चित मानसिकता के होते है। ये कम ज्ञान वाले बुद्धिजिबि भारत में वैदिक परंपरा की गारिमा को क्षुर्न करने के लिए समाज को बांटते हुए अपना अपना राजनैतीक फायदा के लिए निचले स्थर तक गिर जाते है।

मनुस्मृति के बिरोधियों से एक सवाल पूछना चाहता हूँ की आज की तारीख में आपने कहीं मूल स्वरुप की बाइबिल देखा हे क्या ? वही बाइबिल हे, जो की तथा कथित मूल स्वरुप की बाइबिल के अनुवाद के अनुवाद के अनुवादों में से हे, जबकि वही मूल स्वरुप कभी कहीं किसीने देखने का नज़ीर नही हे।

कहाजाता हे की क़ुरान भी मुहम्मद द्वारा दी हुई मूल शिक्षाओं का संगृहीत प्रक्ष्येपित प्रतिलिपि है। जबकि वो मूल स्वरुप पाण्डुलिपि कही देखने को नहीं मिलता हे।

वेसे ही मूल रूप की मनुस्मृति में भी मिलाबटी हुई हे ये सत्य हे, श्लोकों में हुई मिलावट को आसानी से पहचानकर अलग किया जा सकता है। और कई बिद्वान वेसे किये हुए भी है। प्रक्षेपण रहित मूल मनुस्मृति वेदों की मान्यताओं पर आधारित हे। और मूल स्वरुप की वेद आज भी सुरक्षित हे। इसीलिए मूल स्वरुप की मनुस्मृती सर्बोत्तम कृति है, जिसकी गुण -कर्म- स्वभाव आधारित व्यवस्था मनुष्य और समाज को बहुत ऊँचा उठाने वाली है ।

बुलहर, मैकडोनल, कीथ इत्यादि बिदेशी बिद्वान भी मनुस्मृति में मिलावट मानते हैं | जबकि तथाकथित नकली सेक्युलर लोग जो स्वतंत्र भारत का संभिधान प्रणेता डा. अम्बेडकर को अपना सर्बोपरि मानने का दावा करते हे, वही डा. अम्बेडकर ने भी प्राचीन ग्रंथों में मिलावटी होने का स्वीकार किये हैं | वे रामायण, महाभारत, गीता पुराण और वेदों तक में भी प्रक्षेप मानते हैं ( हालांकि वेदों का कभी प्रक्ष्येप नहीं हो सकता)। डा. अम्बेडकर ने मनुस्मृति के परस्पर विरोधी, असंगत श्लोकों को कई स्थानों पर दिखाया भी है | वे जानते थे कि मनुस्मृति में कहां कहां प्रक्षेप हैं | लेकिन वे जानबूझ कर इन श्लोकों को प्रक्षिप्त कहने से खुद को दूर रखे क्योंकि उन्हें अपना मतलब हाशील करना था | उनके इस पक्षपाती व्यवहार ने उन्हें दलितों का नायक जरूर बना दिया | इस तरह मनुविरोध को बढ़ावा देकर उन्होंने खुद के साथ साथ उस समय के और अनेको लोगों का राजनीतिक हित साधन करने में भी सक्ष्यम् हुए | उनकी इस मतान्धता ही आज समाज में विद्वेष का ज़हर घोल दिया है और एक सच्चे नायक मनु को सदा के लिए खलनायक बना दिया ।

JNU में कन्हैया मनुवाद से आज़ादी की नारा से न्यूज़ चैनल में सुर्खियों पर रहता हे तो कहीं अग्निवेश जैसे आर्य समाजी पाखण्ड धर्मगुरु (जो बिगबॉस जैसे अश्लील और नैतिकता रहित TV रियल्टी शो में भाग लेने में कभी स्वामी ओम जेसे फेक बाबा को भी पछाड़ हुआ हे) खुदको समाज संस्कारक बताते हुए मनुस्मृति को समाज के बांटने का आरोप लगाते हुए जलादेता है।
स्वामी अग्निवेश सिर्फ़ राजनीतिक प्रसिद्धि पाने के लिये ही जब मनुस्मृति का दहन किया तब महाशय ये भूल गए की आर्य समाज के प्रतिष्ठाता महर्षि दयानंद ने जो समाज की रचना का सपना देखा था वह महर्षि मनु की वर्ण व्यवस्था के अनुसार ही था | और उन्होंने प्रक्षिप्त हिस्सों को छोड़ कर अपने ग्रंथों में सर्वाधिक प्रमाण (५१४ श्लोक) मनुस्मृति से दिए हैं |

आज मनुस्मृति का विरोध वो लोग कर रहे है, जिन्होंने मनुस्मृति को कभी गंभीरता से पढ़ा नहीं, केवल वोट बैंक की कुश्चित राजनैतिक मनसा के चलते विरोध किए।

अंत में मै ये कहना चाहूँगा की मनुवाद ही मानववाद हे।
मनुवाद ही राष्ट्रवाद है। मनुवाद के खिलाफ वाले निचले स्थर की राजनीति में बिश्वास रखते हे और माओवाद की मानसिकता रखते हे।
