Righteousness
CRITICAL: NEVER use ਧਰਮ. In Punjab ਧਰਮ carries not only the general South Asian sense of cosmic religious duty but the specific Sikh martial-righteous ideal of ਧਰਮ ਯੁੱਧ (dharam yudh, righteous struggle) central to Khalsa identity. ਧਾਰਮਿਕਤਾ is right standing before God received through faith, not a duty performed or a struggle fought.
