The Dharma Initiative is a scientific research company who have been funded by Alvar Hanso. They found that the island has special powers found nowhere else on the earth. They advertise and recruit by saying their science is remarkable and will change the world. They lived in the houses that we know that the others now live in. The others killed all the Dharma Initiative people. They now occupy all the stations and projects that the former Dharma Initiative created.

I apologize if this has already been posted, and surely others have considered it- but I theorize the Dharma Initiave started out with good intentions, then they found something useful, and the Hanso Foundation, whose intentions are less than good, decided to take over and exploit Dharma's research for personal gain. The Dharma people were then killed off.

dharma is in other words " right way of living". With respect to spirituality, dharma might be considered the Way of the Higher Truths. Dharma is a central concept in religions and philosophies originating in India. These religions and philosophies are called Dharmic religions. The principal ones are Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma), Buddhism (Buddhadharma), Jainism (Jain Dharma) and Sikhism, all of which emphasize Dharma (the correct understanding of Nature) in their teachings.). Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as those of Gautama Buddha and Mahavira. In traditional Hindu society with its caste structure, Dharma constituted the religious and moral doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual. (see dharmasastra).
I THINK this is Buddish dharma.
and the word" namaste2 is often said in the ending of the orientation film . and namaste is buddish word.
is a South Asian greeting, which is used when both Hello and Goodbye would be used in English. The meaning can be quite different, however.

Sanskrit na reflects a simple negation. Maḥ points to ego, referring "I" and "my". Thus namaḥ means "bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, adoration to your inner truth", but not next to your ego. Te is the dative of the personal pronoun tvam, "you". A literal translation of namaḥ te is thus "reverential salutation to your inner."

but in lost in longer words:The DHARMA Initiative (Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative.
the dharma is related with buddha and with higher mental power to change the world and be always good but the others turned from peaceful to angry animals.
i think in the start everything was under control until something happened( somebody died, something shocking happened or the just lost the point of this thinking that they are left here for the rest of their lives and taht the cannot never do those things what they did before).

Could it be that the Others where the subjects of experiments by the Hanso Corporation in search of higher powers and truths? Could it be that the hatches and bunkers were ways of studying the human psyche and the nature of man in an attempt to associate true dharma beliefs, or to identify and locate the true manner of man? Perhaps an exploration for the soul? You know, what really makes a person tick and/or erupt?
