I am required to teach excerpts from the Manusmṛti for the first time. I have the overall secondary material I need, but I always like to ask around before teaching new topics: is there one article or book chapter on the Manusmṛti that you particularly appreciate, and perhaps like to assign to your students? It does not have to be something completely introductory or general; I am looking for any piece that you think makes for especially engaging reading.

Many thanks, and all the best,
