 Indiaclub.com: Professor Kane’s Contribution to Dharmasastra Literature : Non-Fiction
If not peerless as an Indologist, Pandurang Vaman Kane (1880-1972) may have barely a few equals.
Yet, M.M. Kane is to stay immortalized for his multivolume History of Dharmashastra: an encyclopaedic, at once authoritative work on ancient India’s religious and civil laws.
Discreetly culled from the prodigious mass of his writings, these essays show how Dr. Kane conjures some of the most obscure, hitherto-unnoticed sources not just to dispel widely-accepted fallacies or straighten out distortions, but (importantly) to project the fabulous legacy of India’s Dharmashastra literature: in both its variegated richness and unflawed authenticity.

No word or reference to the term "Hindu," anywhere, The term Dr. Kane used, "dharmashaastra," does not even infer "Hindu." The paraphernalia of rituals were meant to be followed by male Brahmins only, no women allowed in the learning and practice of this Brahminic gobbledygook.
By the practice and by the rigorous set of rules the so-called "dharmashastra," as explained by Dr. Kane was meant to be entirely vested in very few individuals, all Brahmins, law givers, law enforcers, law manipulators, law inventors, law protectors and law hoarders.
Sid Harth..."The sooner Brahmin bigots realize that there is no such thing as "Hindu," religion the better are the chances of reconciliation among the diverse religious practices prevailing in the Indian subcontinent."
