Bedeutung
Something that is necessary or appropriate given the current circumstances or era.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Indian politicians frequently use this phrase to justify controversial or bold decisions, framing them as something 'Time' itself is asking for, which reduces personal accountability. Editorials in Hindi newspapers like 'Dainik Bhaskar' or 'Amar Ujala' almost always use this phrase in the concluding paragraph to provide a 'call to action'. In the burgeoning tech sector in Bangalore or Gurgaon, this phrase is used to bridge the gap between traditional business values and the need for rapid digital transformation. Activists use this to frame social changes (like LGBTQ+ rights or caste equality) as inevitable historical progressions rather than just modern western influences.
