Answer:
The Frontiers of Hindu Law – Initiating Debates
~ By Vikramjit Banerjee
After nearly 70 years of independence the question arises where do we see Hindu law proceeding towards. Hindu law, after the codification project in the 1950s, is again at a crossroads. The question now is not so much as to how to make Hindu law progressive but whether by making the law progressive, we are losing the essence of Hindu law.
Progressiveness in Hindu law has always been attached to two subjects, (a) the question of its treatment of women, and (b) the question of treatment of its castes or jatis, traditionally deemed low in the hierarchy. The question of the first has largely been solved by bringing in large-scale changes in to Hindu law through statute. This has resulted in the status of women being made at par with international standards.
