What is Differences in Hindu Law Schools about?

There are two main schools of Hindu law - Mitakshara and Dayabhaga. The Mitakshara school prevails throughout India except Bengal, and is based on the code of Yagnavalkya. The Dayabhaga school is found in Bengal and has some reforms. The main historical differences between the schools related to inheritance and joint family property rights. Now the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 has standardized most rules of inheritance, but the schools still differ on aspects of the joint family system and order of heirs.
