Manu Smriti must be interpreted to denigrate only one who burns the scriptures.
When the Manu Smriti says that one who insults the scripture should be denigrated, we can think of this as “one who burns and tramples upon the books of the scriptures being denigrated.” Questioning the scripture or disbelief in the scripture need not be equated with denigrating them. http://www.commonprophets.com/humanist-interpretation-of-scriptures-can-resolve-the-citizenship-amendment-act/ |
