Community position

The classification is a route to state recognition, not a statement about its teaching. Its cosmological framework does not derive from any Hindu tradition.

T2 SRC-0212

State administrative position

Official position

The 1969 classification provides a legal basis for civil registration and for holding ceremonies, and in practice protects their performance.

T3 SRC-0302

The entry describes the classification as an administrative decision and does not use it as a description of doctrine.

Every position carries its own source, and the tier of that source is visible. A position resting only on a tertiary source is still recorded — as circulating usage, not as an equivalent account.
