Book Description
About The Book

This anthology includes six papers which were published in different Research Journals. Since these are not available in book form scholars as well as researchers are not getting these in one place. In order to meet such need this attempt is taken to put these papers in a single whole.

The first paper entitled "Theory of Change in the Ancient Hindu Law" focuses on the very process of change of Hindu law in the spectrum of Dharmaśāstra.

The second paper entitled "Dharmaśāstra in Socio-Legal Perspective" clarifies that scholars distinguish between Hindu law and the strict conception of the positive law on the basis of the conception of the society as governed by the Hindu religion and based on the Varna and āśrama theory.

The third paper entitled "Ethics in Sanskrit Literature" comprises many aspect of ethics in general. This paper shows that ta and Varuna are the most prominent in the earlier portion of the Rgveda which depicts harmonious communal living of Aryans.

The fourth article entitled "Etiquettes and Propriety in the Rāmāyana" deals with standards of conduct in the Ramayana.

The fifth paper entitled "The Dharmaśāstra and the Modern Age on Ethico-Social Value" envisages the very purpose of ethics. Ethics demands that one should control one's activity.

The sixth paper is related to Research Methodology which comprises three hundred eighty five rules.

These six papers collectively show the role of Dharmaśāstra on Law and Ethics, that is why the caption of this anthology is made accordingly.

Preface

This anthology includes six papers which are published in different Research Journals. Since these are not available in bookform scholars as well as researchers are not getting these in one place. In order to meet such need this attempt is taken to put these papers in a single whole.

The first paper entitled "Theory of Change in the Ancient Hindu Law" focuses on the very process of change of Hindu law in the spectrum of Dharmaśāstra. It is universally accepted that no Dharmaśāstra rule is subjected to change, because the sastras do not come in purview of human effect to be changed; rather its values are kept in abeyance where there is no such suitable condition for its implementation. There appears a pragmatic need for its adaptation which is very much conditional. This in śāstric terminology is put forth as vyavastha or loka-vyavahāra.
