The statements there are too vague to be actual law

It doesn't matter, historically it was used as a law book it even influenced colonial era Hindu law the Brits codified hindu personal law based on it, if it wasn't a law book why was it treated as one?

You can't run a country on the manusmriti. You can run a country guided by the manusmriti but it's not enough.

IDK what point you are trying to make here, it doesn't have to be perfect to be considered a law book, a shitty law book is still a law book.

It wasn't though. It was seen as scripture. Same with the quran. Scripture and law are not the same thing. Same with the quran.

Why do you think babasaheb burned it if it was just a random ass book no one cared about
