Download or read book Hinduism and Law written by Timothy Lubin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the earliest Sanskrit rulebooks through to the codification of 'Hindu law' in modern times, this interdisciplinary volume examines the interactions between Hinduism and the law. The authors present the major transformations to India's legal system in both the colonial and post colonial periods and their relation to recent changes in Hinduism. Thematic studies show how law and Hinduism relate and interact in areas such as ritual, logic, politics, and literature, offering a broad coverage of South Asia's contributions to religion and law at the intersection of society, politics and culture. In doing so, the authors build on previous treatments of Hindu law as a purely text-based tradition, and in the process, provide a fascinating account of an often neglected social and political history.
Download or read book Hindu Law written by Patrick Olivelle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The foundation of Hindu law is the voluminous textual tradition called Dharmaśāstra, the expert tradition on dharma. This book seeks to delineate the historical development of Dharmaśāstra, even though the tradition presented dharma as timeless and ahistorical. The volume establishes the importance of law for the history and study of Hinduism by providing interpretive descriptions of all the major topics of Hindu dharma according to this tradition. First, two broad introductions to the historical development of the textual sources of Hindu law suggest new ways to understand both the original texts (smṛti) and the later commentaries and digests. Next, groundbreaking research into the origin of the householder (gṛhastha), who is at the center of the Dharmaśāstric enterprise, provides new insights into both the origin of this genre and many of its topics, such as the āśrama system and married household life. The book devotes its central chapters to each of the major topics of Dharmaśāstra: epistemology of dharma, caste and social class, orders of life, rites of passage, Vedic student and graduate, marriage, children, inheritance, women, daily duties, food, gifting, funeral and ancestral offerings, impurity and purification, ascetic modes of life, dharma during emergencies, king, punishment, legal procedure, titles of law, penances, vows, pilgrimage, images, and temples. The final chapters then explore both the reception of Dharmaśāstra in other religious traditions, both Hindu and Buddhist, and the relevance of Dharmaśāstra to studies of critical concepts in religious studies—the body, emotions, material culture, subjectivity, animal studies, and vernacular culture."--

Book Synopsis Ancient Hindu Law and Judicature by : Pt. Yajnavalkaya
Download or read book Ancient Hindu Law and Judicature written by Pt. Yajnavalkaya and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Hindu Law is said to be based on the knowledge derived from divine revelation. These laws are believed to to be 'Sanatan' or forever and therefore existing from infinity. However the western scholars have dated all the works to be not older than 5000 BC. There are 47 known sources of Ancient Hindu Law. Initially Hindu Law and the Code of Conduct was memorized by Brahmans i.e. Hindu Priests and their prodigies from generation to generation. They were the repository and interpreters of Hindu laws. Later on with the advent of parchment, various known scholars wrote down their version of Hindu Laws. The Manu Sanhita is one such famous work. Brahaspati and Narada are two other such famous authors or compilers of Ancient Hindu Laws or 'Dharama Sastra'. In all there are about 47 know written manuscripts of Ancient Hindu Laws. Yajnavalkaya's Hindu Dharam Sastra holds a special place as it is the most coherent and methodical of all the works. Its meticulous compilation lends credence to its authority far more than Manu which is often found to to have embellishments added to it at the end of Chapters which do not relate to the chapters itself. Yajnavalkaya's work is also dated to about 200 AD, which also makes it the most authentic and reliable source of Hindu Law. This work contains: 1. An introduction to Hinduism with reference to the history and significance. 2. Annotation providing guide to understand the Dharm Sastra verses with reference to modern law principles 3. Illustration about verses and also the practical or legal effect of the verses. 4. Translation of the Dharm Sastra from Sanskrit to English. 5. Comments about the 'words' which have no corresponding words in English. 6. A unique compilation to act as a bridge between the ancient and modern laws of India.

Book Synopsis The Dharma of Business by : Davis R. Donald
Download or read book The Dharma of Business written by Davis R. Donald and published by Penguin Random House India. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business law in medieval and early modern India developed within the voluminous and multifaceted texts called the Dharmashastras. These texts laid down rules for merchants, traders, guilds, farmers, and individuals in terms of the complex religious, legal, and moral ideal of dharma. This exciting book provides a new perspective on commercial law in this period. In addition to a description of the substantive rules for business, the book reinterprets the role of business and commerce within the law generally and demonstrates that modern assumptions about good business practice could benefit from the insights of this ancient tradition. It thus makes a compelling case for the relevance of the dharma of business to our own time.
Book Synopsis The Spirit of Hindu Law by : Donald R. Davis, Jr
Download or read book The Spirit of Hindu Law written by Donald R. Davis, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-21 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law is too often perceived solely as state-based rules and institutions that provide a rational alternative to religious rites and ancestral customs. The Spirit of Hindu Law uses the Hindu legal tradition as a heuristic tool to question this view and reveal the close linkage between law and religion. Emphasizing the household, the family, and everyday relationships as additional social locations of law, it contends that law itself can be understood as a theology of ordinary life. An introduction to traditional Hindu law and jurisprudence, this book is structured around key legal concepts such as the sources of law and authority, the laws of persons and things, procedure, punishment and legal practice. It combines investigation of key themes from Sanskrit legal texts with discussion of Hindu theology and ethics, as well as thorough examination of broader comparative issues in law and religion.
Book Synopsis King, Governance, and Law in Ancient India by : Kauṭalya
Download or read book King, Governance, and Law in Ancient India written by Kauṭalya and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King, Governance, and Law in Ancient India presents an English translation of Kautilya's Arthashastra (AS.) along with detailed endnotes. When it was discovered in 1923, the Arthashastra was described as perhaps the most precious work in the whole range of Sanskrit literature, an assessment that still rings true. This new translation of this significant text, the first in close to half a century takes into account a number of important advances in our knowledge of the texts, inscriptions, and archeological and art historical remains from the period in Indian history to which the AS. belongs (2nd-3rd century CE, although parts of it may be much older). The text is what we would today call a scientific treatise. It codifies a body of knowledge handed down in expert traditions. It is specifically interested in two things: first, how a king can expand his territory, keep enemies at bay, enhance his external power, and amass riches; second, how a king can best organize his state bureaucracy to consolidate his internal power, to suppress internal enemies, to expand the economy, to enhance his treasury through taxes, duties, and entrepreneurial activities, to keep law and order, and to settle disputes among his subjects. The book is accordingly divided into two sections: the first encompassing Books 1-5 deals with internal matters, and the second spanning Books 6-14 deals with external relations and warfare. The AS. stands alone: there is nothing like it before it and there is nothing after it-if there were other textual productions within that genre they are now irretrievably lost. Even though we know of many authors who preceded Kautilya, none of their works have survived the success of the AS. Being "textually" unique makes it difficult to understand and interpret difficult passages and terms; we cannot look to parallels for help. The AS. is also unique in that, first, it covers such a vast variety of topics and, second, it presents in textual form expert traditions in numerous areas of human and social endeavors that were handed down orally. Expert knowledge in diverse fields communicated orally from teacher to pupil, from father to son, is here for the first time codified in text. These fields include: building practices of houses, forts, and cities; gems and gemology; metals and metallurgy; mining, forestry and forest management; agriculture; manufacture of liquor; animal husbandry, shipping, and the management of horses and elephants- and so on. Finally, it is also unique in presenting a viewpoint distinctly different from the Brahmanical "party line" we see in most ancient Indian documents.
