सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

The 'Khanda' sword was a symbol of prestige and power. Walking on its edge was a metaphor for the strict code of honor (Dharma) they followed. Jain monks often describe the path to Moksha (liberation) as 'Khandani dhar,' emphasizing the extreme discipline required. In the diamond and textile hubs, high-risk deals are often described with this idiom to warn partners of the stakes. Poets like Narmad and Zaverchand Meghani used this phrase to evoke feelings of bravery and struggle against British rule.
