Proposal to Introduce Manusmriti for LLB Students Not Found Appropriate: Delhi University VC

Deccan Chronicle

New Delhi: Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh on Friday said the proposal to introduce Manusmriti for the LLB students was rejected as it was not found appropriate and added there are other texts that can be used for teaching the Indian culture. The vice-chancellor held back the proposal to introduce Manusmriti for the LLB students on Thursday and clarified that no such text would be taught by the university after a section of teachers objected to it. The proposal drew flak from a section of teachers who said Manusmriti is "regressive" towards the rights of women and marginalised communities and against a progressive education system. Several students from the Left-affiliated All India Students Association staged demonstrations outside the VC's office against the rejected proposal, terming it a step towards "saffronisation" of the university.
