It considers the yuga dharma constituent of a religion not only not applicable for all people universally, but even irrelevant to its own people of a later age, due to changes in conditions of life of the people concerned. So Indian tradition provides for appropriate changes in the smrtis and Yuga dharma, to make them relevant for the changed social circumstances which render them obsolete, and often harmful. Sri Ramakrishna expresses this Indian wisdom in a brief and meaningful utterance; the Moghul coins have no currency under the East India Company’s rule. Human and social distortions are the product of the dominance of these obsolete elements of a socio-religious and intra-anti-human practices, inter-religious and intra-religious frictions, disharmonies, and persecutions and the stagnation and immobility of human attitudes.
