Bedeutung
Asking for honesty.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Jainism, 'Satya' (truth) is one of the five great vows (Mahavratas). Speaking the truth is seen as a way to avoid harming others through deceit. Mahatma Gandhi's life was centered on 'Satya'. He believed that truth is God. This makes 'Sāchuṃ bolo' a very powerful moral phrase in his home state. Gujarati business ethics revolve around 'Zubaan' (word). If you say 'Sāchuṃ bolo', you are asking the person to put their reputation on the line. Many Gujarati 'Bhajans' (devotional songs) emphasize that only those who speak the truth can find the divine.
The 'Really?' Intonation
To use it as 'Really?', raise the pitch of your voice on the last syllable 'lo'.
Don't over-nasalize
The dot on 'Sāchuṃ' is a soft nasal sound, don't make it a hard 'N' or 'M'.

Using this phrase in Gujarat often reminds people of Gandhi. It's a very 'clean' and respected phrase.
Shortening for Friends
With very close friends, just say 'Sāche?' (Really?) to save time.
