| Mar 30 at 17:24 | comment | added | Haridasa | I usually don't subscribe to Dharmashastras being interplorated is their any Dharmashastra which adheres to your view? | |
| Mar 30 at 16:10 | comment | added | madhurkant | @Haridasa those in which Brahmin is exempted are later addition not the original verses. | |
| Mar 30 at 16:01 | comment | added | Haridasa | I just find some punishments disproportionate to the crime in general as mentioned the examples above and possible misuse of rights by higher Varnas. | |
| Mar 30 at 16:00 | comment | added | Haridasa | Mainly regarding punishments for Brahmins like I agree those who follow their duties should be respected, but a Brahmin in cases of the chapter on Adultery and other places is clearly, exempt from total capital punishment which could lead to misuse of power in my opinion. So, I see that aspect as conjecture. Also, while disrespecting authority is very wrong as in the case of assault why shouldn't warnings and fine be given first and then capital punishment. | |
| Mar 28 at 16:34 | comment | added | madhurkant | @estimator I do not care about up/down vote. I just asked where you felt the answer contains conjecture? | |
| Mar 27 at 22:11 | comment | added | Haridasa | @madhurkant yes, but the why allows it to make sense kind of, so while metaphysics is a part I want to know the observable benefits of such punishments. | |
| Mar 27 at 16:27 | comment | added | madhurkant | @Haridasa The question is not about making sense. It’s about the why of cruel punishment. Although I agree with you. | |
| Mar 27 at 16:26 | comment | added | madhurkant | @estimator instead of just mentioning it as conjecture. Please tell me what part you consider Conjecture. | |
| Mar 27 at 11:05 | comment | added | Haridasa | The punishment for Shudras makes absolute sense though if they preach wrongdoing not simply out of foolishness, but pride the amount of damage they could cause to the intellectual world is serious hence punishment must be adminstered. Although I believe that punishment is too severe. | |
