A Comparative Talk on Women Era

Abstract

In the original philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi the proverbial principle is to “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil”. Probably a fourth monkey should have been shown with crossing his arms as to convey “do no evil” or “do nothing”. Looking it in other way would mean, refusing to acknowledge it or feigning ignorance. It seems that in the present scenario with reference to Women era, gives us a feeling to have a relook at the three wise monkeys in a manner as shown above. The principles of jurisprudence are not confined to the texts in Sanskrit. Manu attests that custom is the foremost basis of jurisprudence. Customary law delimits Brahamnic legal theory. And customs differ according to districts, towns, castes guilds and corporations. Manu asserts the precedence of provincial custom. The Dharma Shastras are the pre-eminent Hindu legal texts written in Sanskrit, excerpts of which were translated into the early Javanese and Khmer languages. Niti i.e. Justice, is based on Dharma, which is moral law in these works. The term dharma may be traced from the root word dhr which means sustains or supports. The expressesion seems to have a wide range of meaning. It signifies the prudence of highest virtue to human welfare. We know how to swim In water like fishes We know how to fly In air like birds But we do not know how to Live on earth like human beings. Alexander Selkirk
