बेटाई 'मनुस्मृति' को विधि-ग्रन्थ नहीं, समाजविचार के रूप में पढ़ते हैं। काणे की विस्तृत काल-सीमा के विरुद्ध वे इसे ईसा पूर्व दो सौ के आसपास रखते हैं, और चार वर्णों के धर्म, व्यवसाय, ब्राह्मण का गौरव तथा शूद्र के दर्जे का विवेचन करके उसे आधुनिक समाजशास्त्रीय परिभाषाओं से मिलाते हैं। Betai reads the Manusmrti as social thought rather than as law. Placing it near 200 BC against P. V. Kane's wider range, he sets out Manu's account of the four varnas, their occupations, brahmin standing and the sudra's position, and matches it against modern definitions of a social institution.
