Law

Torah/Mosaic law. NEVER धर्म (caste-linked Hindu dharma, the very framework Ambedkarite Buddhists formally renounced by converting) and never धम्म in Ambedkar’s specific reinterpreted sense (his ‘The Buddha and His Dhamma’ recasts Dhamma as a social ethic of liberty, equality, and fraternity) — both words carry a politically live, contested history in Marathi that Mosaic law does not share.
