Classical Hindu laws and modern India

How the gradual process of rendering Classical Hindu laws irrelevant worked over the centuries

Missionary scholars concocted new theories to weaken cohesive elements of Hindu society. They mixed up Shruti and Smriti texts indiscriminately and with university academia, they created a new consensus which was further empowered politically, financially and socially by the British empire. The new education claimed that Caste (Varna) is fixed compartmentalized hierarchy that existed for exploiting the lower one, the associated Dharmic values and ethics were primitive and foreign aggressors raided India with a mission of bringing equality of freedom to the lower classes. These half baked theories are still taught to Hindus in schools and universities. Few Indians could preserve their mental independence and self respect and system ensured that they got no place or work in it.

The system for appointment of Indians into Judiciary (and even other Government services) was such that it excluded dharmic Indian and nationalist elements and promoted compromising brown sahibs in the government machinery. They were expected not to think, wear, eat and mingle in traditional Indian way. Ingenious techniques were employed to achieve this goal, like humiliating questions were asked in ICS and other exams and training of Brown sahibs (especially in civil services and Army) superiority of White Shaibs was instilled. English language, culture, food, mannerisms, attire became the new standard of civilization. The Judiciary was also among worst victim as along with deciding on mundane cases of transactional nature they had to decide upon the moral-ethical and dharmic issues often from alien anti-dharmic perspective. Later on it became one of the worst accomplice and pillar of imperial colonial order.

Even a most skeptic person has to believe in some fundamental things. If you cynically disbelieve and question every proposition, nothing remains except malicious propaganda. The antithetical and opportunist policy of Indian state created a situation where all fundamentals were brought under hostile scrutiny of various anti dharmic forces. Sanskrit, Varnashrama system, grammar, logic, aesthetics, art and literature all were brought under suspicion. Real or imaginary underdogs were created to demolish the whole superstructure of dharmic civilization.

It is well recorded fact that Judiciary and legislature of Independent India has shunned the dharmic value universe in attempt to advance cause of a progressive, socialist, secular state. Political leadership took a progressive rationalist stand for Sanatani dharmic tradition and diluted their values, belief systems and laws. At the same time the state demurred from taking similar progressive rationalist measures for so-called minority religions (chiefly Islam and Christianity) and conferred special treatment in personal law, education, and management of religious institutions. Being organized and proselytizing by nature, these religions have amassed disproportionately high political and media clout. The dharmic society was divided progressively with phony progressive legislations. This all would not have happened without active or passive connivance of judiciary.
