Anand Ranganathan has taken on Rahul Gandhi’s Manusmriti argument. He accepts that the passage describing women’s dependence on father, husband and sons is patriarchal. But he says Rahul Gandhi is using one verse as a political weapon while ignoring the wider Hindu tradition. Ranganathan argues that Manusmriti is an ancient collection, a Smriti and not the Vedas. He says critics are “cherry-picking” a harsh passage while overlooking verses and traditions that honour women. He also insists that patriarchy and misogyny must be condemned wherever they appear. The debate is not about denying the verse. It is about whether one text, one passage or one interpretation can define Hindu thought. This report separates the verse, the history and Ranganathan’s political argument, while asking whether the same standard is applied to every religious tradition in India.

Abhijit Iyer-Mitra explains how Yogi Adityanath’s approach to law and order in Uttar Pradesh goes beyond the much-discussed ‘bulldozer’ action.
