<div>The term '''Manuvāda''' (also '''Manuvād''', '''Manuwād''', [[Hindi]] मनुवाद) denotes the ethos of a society governed by [[Manusmṛti]], with the term ''Manuvādi'' denoting a proponent of such an ethos. <br />
<br />
In contemporary discourse, these terms (especially the latter) are often used oppositionally for contrasting their positions, interests, and viewpoints with a society that is informed by and/or identifies with ''Manuvāda'', particularly with respect to [[caste]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/manuwadi-threat-to-indias-integrity-karnataka-seer/1/550198.html |title=Manuwadi, threat to India's integrity: Karnataka seer : Mail Today, News - India Today |newspaper=Indiatoday.intoday.in |date= |author= |accessdate= July 6, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/speakers-review-quota-call-reflects-manuwadi-mentality/article8153130.ece |title=“Speaker's ‘review quota' call reflects Manuwadi mentality” - The Hindu |newspaper=Thehindu.com |date= |author= |accessdate= July 6, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Anna-Hazares-movement-is-anti-social-justice-manuwadi/articleshow/9664784.cms |title='Anna Hazare's movement is anti-social justice, manuwadi' - Times of India |newspaper=The Times of India |date= |author=Avijit Ghosh |accessdate= July 6, 2016}}</ref><br />

The term came to the fore in the [[politics of India]] in the early 2000s, during the government of the nationalist [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]. The term came to be used for the allegation of a [[wikt:hidden agenda|hidden agenda]] of the nationalist parties by their opponents, for example, in 2003, [[Uttar Pradesh]] Chief Minister [[Mayawati]] remarked that "the [[Lok Sabha]] had been taken over by Manuvadi forces".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/Rediscovering-Manuvad/articleshow/26517.cms?referral=PM |title=Rediscovering Manuvad? |newspaper=The Times of India |date= June 17, 2003 |author=Arvind Singh Bisht |accessdate= July 6, 2016}}</ref><br />
