Manu Neethi on Government website! Too many worse sentences in it
Following the recent controversy over Thirumavalavan’s appeal, a very important question has been repeatedly asked by many. The question is, “Why are they only criticizing beliefs related to Hinduism and refusing to criticize Islam and Christianity?”

Continuing the controversy over the petition, one claims that it was translated by whites and the others say that it is misunderstood by people due to lack of understanding and that it is no longer being adhered to by anyone in recent days. But on the official website of the Department of Culture of the Government of India, it is still available today under the title “Manu Samhita”.
