“You must destroy the Religion of the Shrutis and the Smrutis. Nothing else will avail.”
“Hinduism is a veritable chamber of horrors and it must die for caste to vanish.”
“I believe in religion of liberty, equality and fraternity.”
— Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar
Eighty-nine years ago today, that is, on December 25, 1927, Babasaheb Ambedkar burned Manusmriti as a symbol of rejection of the religious basis of untouchability. The event was arranged during the Mahad Satyagraha. Mahad Satyagraha was a fight to assert the “Untouchables” right to access public water, and to embrace humanity and dignity. For Babasaheb — a staunch advocate of women’s rights and emancipation — it was a political action to burn Manusmriti publicly as he believed that the book entailed the rules preaching inhumane treatment not only towards women but also “Untouchables”, in private as well as public sphere.
The Manusmriti Dahan Din is celebrated today too, after close to 90 years of its burning. But my question is, who has been celebrating this day all along? Why should we still celebrate it?
Babasaheb had addressed the masses before the event saying, “Let’s destroy the authority of ancient Hindu scriptures that are borne in inequality. Religion and slavery are not compatible.” After his speech, his associate Bapusaheb Sahastrabuddhe said, “Even though I am born as a Brahmin, I condemn the doctrines of Manusmriti. It is a symbol not of religion but of inequality, cruelty and injustice. I move a resolution that the Manusmriti which has been the cause of sufferings for generations, should be publicly burned.” (From the film, ‘Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar: The Untold Truth’). At 9 pm that night, the book was burned at the hands of Bapusaheb Sahastrabuddhe and six Dalit sadhus. The three banners on the poles erected on the corners of a pit (dug for burning the Manusmriti), read: 1.”Manusmriti chi Dahan Bhumi” (Crematorium for Manusmriti), 2. Destroy Untouchability, and 3. Bury the Brahmanism.
Following are some of the things that Manusmriti prescribes:
Since a woman is not capable of living independently, she is to be kept under the custody of her father as a child, under her husband as a woman (wife) and under her son as a widow.
It is the duty of all husbands to exert total control over their wives. Even physically weak husbands must strive to control their wives.
While performing namkarm and jatkarm, Vedic mantras are not to be recited by women, because women lack strength and knowledge of vedic texts. Women are impure and represent falsehood.
Consuming liquor, association with wicked persons, separation from her husband, rambling around, sleeping for unreasonable hours and dwelling are six demerits of women.
In case a woman, proud of the greatness of her excellence or her relatives, violates her duty towards her husband, the King shall arrange to have her thrown before dogs at a public place.
Brahman men can marry Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya and even Shudra women but Shudra men can marry only Shudra women.
In case a woman enjoys sex with a man from a higher caste, the act is not punishable. But on the contrary, if a woman enjoys sex with a lower caste man, she is to be punished and kept in isolation.
In case a man from a lower caste enjoys sex with a woman from a higher caste, the person in question is to be awarded the death sentence. And if a person satisfies his carnal desire with women of his own caste, he should be asked to pay compensation to the woman’s faith.
Men may be lacking in virtue, be sexual perverts, immoral and devoid of any good qualities and yet women must constantly worship and serve their husbands.
No wonder Manusmriti Dahan Din is also celebrated as Stree Mukti Din.
The level of cruel injustice directed towards the Untouchables in the laws of Manusmriti can be seen in the Peshwa rule in Maharashtra which had implemented most of the laws from Manusmriti. The untouchables had to carry a broom stick attached to their backs so that when they enter the city, their footprints would not pollute the path. They were forced to put a pot around their neck to carry their spit in the pot. They were not allowed to hold any arms, and education was completely barred. Untouchables were killed if they did not follow these restrictions.
However, Manusmriti was unjust towards “Untouchables” as well as women across castes. The evil practices like Sati and child marriage are the best examples of this. Babasaheb acknowledged that Manusmriti restricts women from enjoying many rights such as education, independence, inheritance of wealth, etc. The book defines a woman merely as a sex object who is always dependent on and is protected by her male counterpart from childhood to old age. Manusmriti also gave rights to the upper caste men to not only own but also sexually exploit the Shudra women.
However, Ambedkar’s action was criticised by many people. Some even asked, “What is achieved by burning the Manusmriti?” Babasaheb answered, “What did Gandhi achieve by burning foreign clothes? This was the form of registering the protest, so was ours against Manusmriti.” For those who said “It is an outdated booklet“, his answer was, “Why then to give importance to it? How does it matter to you if somebody burns it?” He further declared that if unfortunately, this burning of Manusmriti does not result in destruction of ‘Brahmanya’, we will have to either burn the ‘Brahmanya-grast’ people (that is, people affected by Brahminism) or renounce Hinduism.”
It is significant today to look at the specific occasion Babasaheb chose to burn the Manusmriti. From the beginning, like Jotiba Phule, Babasaheb had hoped that since in the eyes of Manu, women and untouchables were equally ridiculed, emancipation of women would lead to emancipation of “lower” castes too. Unfortunately, things haven’t changed! While in the past we saw opposition to the Hindu Code Bill — proposed by Babasaheb to give women their rights — by dominant and “upper” caste women themselves, today we see their silence on the issues of “lower” caste women. We witnessed their apathy towards Khairlanji massacre. They were also not as vocal to fight for justice to Delta as they have been by coming on roads for ‘Nirbhaya’ or the Kopardi case.
Today, what is more surprising is that the rituals like Vat Puja or Karva Chauth have become more festive than before and are celebrated by young women too. Why is it so? Why do we see the ‘scientific’ justifications for celebrating Vat Puja, observing fasts or the ‘logic’ behind putting kumkum on forehead? I feel, more than earlier, Manu today has strengthened his roots in more rigid ways with the help of ‘modern science’ and ‘market’.
We have allowed Manu to enter our popular culture, TV shows and serials. We see around us the modern Manus in the form of Jyotishis sitting in their ‘shops’ selling unasked-for advice, who are invited on TV shows, and let to interfere in our lives. We have allowed the Manu to enter in our routine lives so much so that we cannot even recognise him now.
I think, today, there is a need to celebrate Manusmriti Dahan Din more than ever to invoke the subordination and humiliation of women as well as “lower” caste people. Manu is not just in Manusmriti, he is also in our minds. When are we going to burn the book in there?

The Status Of Women As Depicted By Manu In The Manusmriti
August 27, 2011by Hirday N. Patwari
The Manusmriti also known as Manav Dharam Shastra, is the earliest metrical work on Brahminical Dharma in Hinduism. According to Hindu mythology, the Manusmriti is the word of Brahma, and it is classified as the most authoritative statement on Dharma .The scripture consists of 2690 verses, divided into 12 chapters. It is presumed that the actual human author of this compilation used the eponym ‘Manu’, which has led the text to be associated by Hindus with the first human being and the first king in the Indian tradition.
Although no details of this eponymous author’s life are known, it is likely that he belonged to a conservative Brahman class somewhere in Northern India. Hindu apologists consider the Manusmriti as the divine code of conduct and, accordingly, the status of women as depicted in the text has been interpreted as Hindu divine law. While defending Manusmriti as divine code of conduct for all including women, apologists often quote the verse: “yatr naryasto pojyantay, ramantay tatr devta [3/56] (where women are provided place of honor, gods are pleased and reside there in that household), but they deliberately forget all those verses that are full of prejudice, hatred and discrimination against women.

Conversion to Buddhism
Ambedkar delivering speech during mass conversionAmbedkar considered converting to Sikhism, which encouraged opposition to oppression and so appealed to leaders of scheduled castes. But after meeting with Sikh leaders, he concluded that he might get “second-rate” Sikh status.Instead, around 1950, he began devoting his attention to Buddhism and travelled to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to attend a meeting of the World Fellowship of Buddhists. While dedicating a new Buddhist vihara near Pune, Ambedkar announced he was writing a book on Buddhism, and that when it was finished, he would formally convert to Buddhism. He twice visited Burma in 1954; the second time to attend the third conference of the World Fellowship of Buddhists in Rangoon. In 1955, he founded the Bharatiya Bauddha Mahasabha, or the Buddhist Society of India.[102] He completed his final work, The Buddha and His Dhamma, in 1956 which was published posthumously.After meetings with the Sri Lankan Buddhist monk Hammalawa Saddhatissa, Ambedkar organised a formal public ceremony for himself and his supporters in Nagpur on 14 October 1956. Accepting the Three Refuges and Five Precepts from a Buddhist monk in the traditional manner, Ambedkar completed his own conversion, along with his wife. He then proceeded to convert some 500,000 of his supporters who were gathered around him. He prescribed the 22 Vows for these converts, after the Three Jewels and Five Precepts. He then travelled to Kathmandu, Nepal to attend the Fourth World Buddhist Conference. His work on The Buddha or Karl Marx and “Revolution and counter-revolution in ancient India” remained incomplete.Opposition to untouchability Ambedkar as a barrister in 1922As Ambedkar was educated by the Princely State of Baroda, he was bound to serve it. He was appointed Military Secretary to the Gaikwad but had to quit in a short time. He described the incident in his autobiography, Waiting for a Visa. Thereafter, he tried to find ways to make a living for his growing family. He worked as a private tutor, as an accountant, and established an investment consulting business, but it failed when his clients learned that he was an untouchable. In 1918, he became Professor of Political Economy in the Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai. Although he was successful with the students, other professors objected to his sharing a drinking-water jug with them.Ambedkar had been invited to testify before the Southborough Committee, which was preparing the Government of India Act 1919. At this hearing, Ambedkar argued for creating separate electorates and reservations for untouchables and other religious communities. In 1920, he began the publication of the weekly Mooknayak (Leader of the Silent) in Mumbai with the help of Shahu of Kolhapur i.e. Shahu IV (1874–1922).Ambedkar went on to work as a legal professional. In 1926, he successfully defended three non-Brahmin leaders who had accused the Brahmin community of ruining India and were then subsequently sued for libel. Dhananjay Keer notes that “The victory was resounding, both socially and individually, for the clients and the doctor”.While practising law in the Bombay High Court, he tried to promote education to untouchables and uplift them. His first organised attempt was his establishment of the central institution Bahishkrit Hitakarini Sabha, intended to promote education and socio-economic improvement, as well as the welfare of “outcastes”, at the time referred to as depressed classes. For the defence of Dalit rights, he started many periodicals like Mook Nayak, Bahishkrit Bharat, and Equality Janta.He was appointed to the Bombay Presidency Committee to work with the all-European Simon Commission in 1925. This commission had sparked great protests across India, and while its report was ignored by most Indians, Ambedkar himself wrote a separate set of recommendations for the future Constitution of India.By 1927, Ambedkar had decided to launch active movements against untouchability. He began with public movements and marches to open up public drinking water resources. He also began a struggle for the right to enter Hindu temples. He led a satyagraha in Mahad to fight for the right of the untouchable community to draw water from the main water tank of the town.In a conference in late 1927, Ambedkar publicly condemned the classic Hindu text, the Manusmriti (Laws of Manu), for ideologically justifying caste discrimination and “untouchability”, and he ceremonially burned copies of the ancient text. On 25 December 1927, he led thousands of followers to burn copies of Manusmrti. Thus annually 25 December is celebrated as Manusmriti Dahan Din (Manusmriti Burning Day) by Ambedkarites and Dalits.In 1930, Ambedkar launched Kalaram Temple movement after three months of preparation. About 15,000 volunteers assembled at Kalaram Temple satygraha making one of the greatest processions of Nashik. The procession was headed by a military band, a batch of scouts, women and men walked in discipline, order and determination to see the god for the first time. When they reached to gate, the gates were closed by Brahmin authorities.
