Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dharma is a concept of social order and duty that sustains the whole universe. A person’s placement in a caste (varna) and birth group (jati) is one element of dharma. Jati is historically also used to determine social interactions and marriages, as dharma guides every aspect of daily life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hinduism prescribes the eternal duties, such as honesty, refraining from injuring living beings (ahimsa), patience, forbearance, self-restraint, and compassion, among others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dharma as the Sustainer. One sense of supposing dharma to be moral duty is its putative role as the sustainer or preserver of the world. This sense of dharma is more often made out from its etymological root. As is well known, the word is derived from the Sanskrit root dhr which means that which holds or sustains.
