Righteousness
CRITICAL: धार्मिकता (built on the same Sanskrit root Brahma Dharma uses for its own reformed religious-duty system) must be explicitly defined in this curriculum as right standing before God received through faith, not the reformed community’s structured code of right conduct. Because Brahma Dharma explicitly recast Bodo identity around a Sanskritic dharma-framework in the early 20th century, this distinction needs more, not less, explanation than in a Hindu-majority context.
