God

خُدا (a Persian-derived term) is the universal term for God across both Muslim and Christian Kashmiri speakers, with no viable alternative and no competing polytheistic default sense for Muslim readers. For Kashmiri Pandit readers, خُدا may read as less immediately resonant than بھگوان (Bhagavan) or ایشور (Ishwar), which this curriculum should introduce as glosses only, not replacements, since this Language Package prioritizes a single consistent term across both audiences it addresses. This shared vocabulary with Islamic usage is a genuine point of contact, but this curriculum must consistently present خُدا, per Romans, in explicitly Trinitarian and Christ-centered terms.
