RT Article T1 A Modern Review of Hindu Dharma JF Journal of Dharma VO 1 IS 1&2 SP 118 OP 136 A1 Nandhikkara, Jose A2 Kuppuswamy, B. LA English YR 1975 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1837742553 AB The term Dharma has been one of the most powerful and influential terms in Indian thought and society for several millenia, dating from Vedic times. Even today it is very influential at all levels of society and among all classes, castes, and creeds. However, there are diverse ways in which the term has been used. It stands for religious observance, righteousness, jsutice, conformity to law, conformity to custom, obedience to the social roder, sense of duty, etc. Thus, it has religious, moral, ethical as well as legal significance. This is one of the important reasons why it is impossible to translate the term Dharma to any other non-Indian langugae.
