In my judgment *mahārāṣṭradharma* is not to be taken as the *dharma* exclusively of the region Mahārāṣṭra or of the races and castes constituting the people (Maratha) living in Mahārāṣṭra. It is the *dharma* of the Aryans, Indians or Hindus of all regions. We are to understand by this category the eternal or *sanātana dharma* of the Hindus in the diverse regions of India. We have then the following equation: *Mahārāṣṭradharma* = *Hindu-rāṣṭradharma*.
