Manusanghita

"Manusanghita"  is an ancient legal manuscript that delineates principles of governance, societal norms, and individual responsibilities within the Hindu tradition. The text in question delves into the complex structure of social obligations associated with different castes and the various stages of life, reflecting a divinely ordained social hierarchy that has been a fundamental aspect of traditional Indian society. This hierarchy organizes individuals based on their birth and prescribed duties, influencing their roles within the community and state. In addition to addressing caste duties, the text outlines specific regulations governing warfare, highlighting the ethical considerations that should guide conduct in battle. These regulations often emphasise principles such as honour, restraint, and the protection of non-combatants, stressing that warfare must be conducted with a sense of moral responsibility.
