खंडित करना
खंडित करना in 30 Sekunden
- A formal verb meaning to fragment or break into parts.
- Used for physical objects, records, peace, and logical arguments.
- Common in news, archaeology, and academic Hindi contexts.
- Implies a loss of integrity or wholeness in the object.
The Hindi verb खंडित करना (khaṇḍit karnā) is a sophisticated term that translates primarily to 'to fragment,' 'to break into pieces,' or 'to invalidate.' While the common verb 'तोड़ना' (toṛnā) covers the general act of breaking, खंडित करना carries a formal, academic, or even spiritual weight. It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'खण्ड' (khaṇḍa), meaning a piece, part, or fragment. When you use this verb, you aren't just saying something is broken; you are implying that its integrity, continuity, or wholeness has been compromised. This could apply to a physical object like a statue, an abstract concept like a record or a peace treaty, or a logical argument in a debate.
- Physical Context
- In the physical realm, this word is most frequently encountered in archaeology and art. If an ancient sculpture is found in pieces, it is described as being 'खंडित'. For instance, in Indian culture, a 'खंडित मूर्ति' (fragmented idol) is traditionally not used for worship because its spiritual completeness is considered lost once its physical form is fragmented.
आक्रमणकारियों ने प्राचीन मंदिर की मूर्तियों को खंडित कर दिया। (The invaders fragmented the statues of the ancient temple.)
- Abstract Context
- Beyond the physical, the term is used to describe the act of breaking a record (कीर्तिमान खंडित करना) or disrupting a state of being, such as peace (शांति खंडित करना). It suggests a sharp interruption of a previously continuous state. In legal or logical discourse, it means to refute or invalidate an argument (तर्क खंडित करना). If a lawyer proves that a witness's statement is false, they have 'खंडित' that statement.
वैज्ञानिक ने पुराने सिद्धांतों को नए प्रमाणों के साथ खंडित किया। (The scientist invalidated the old theories with new evidence.)
In news reporting, you will often hear this word when a long-standing tradition or a political alliance is broken. It is a 'high-register' word, meaning you are more likely to find it in newspapers, literature, and formal speeches than in a casual conversation at a vegetable market. When a person's pride or ego is crushed, writers might use 'अहंकार खंडित करना' to add a poetic and dramatic flair to the narrative. It emphasizes the total collapse of that ego into many useless fragments. Understanding this word helps a learner transition from basic Hindi to a more professional or literary level of fluency, allowing for more precise expression of how things fall apart or are dismantled.
- Spiritual and Philosophical Nuance
- In Indian philosophy, the concept of 'Akhand' (अखंड) means indivisible or whole (like 'Akhand Bharat'). Therefore, 'Khandit' is the direct opposite—something that has lost its unity. When someone breaks a fast prematurely, they might say their 'व्रत खंडित हो गया' (the fast was broken/interrupted), implying the sanctity of the ritual was breached.
शोर ने मेरी एकाग्रता को खंडित कर दिया। (The noise fragmented my concentration.)
Using खंडित करना requires understanding its role as a transitive compound verb. It consists of the adjective 'खंडित' (fragmented) and the auxiliary verb 'करना' (to do/make). Because it is a 'करना' verb, the subject usually takes the 'ने' postposition in the perfective tenses (past tense), and the verb agrees with the object. This is a crucial grammatical point for B2 learners who are refining their sentence structures. Let's look at how this functions across different contexts.
- Refuting Arguments
- In debates or academic writing, you use it to show that a claim has been proven wrong. It sounds more intellectual than 'गलत साबित करना' (to prove wrong).
वकील ने गवाह के बयानों को सबूतों के माध्यम से खंडित कर दिया। (The lawyer refuted the witness's statements through evidence.)
- Breaking Records
- In sports journalism, this is the standard way to say a record was broken. It gives a sense of a monumental achievement that has 'shattered' the previous limit.
उस धावक ने दस साल पुराने विश्व रिकॉर्ड को खंडित किया। (That runner broke the ten-year-old world record.)
- Interrupting Processes
- It can be used for things that are supposed to be continuous, like a silence, a meditation, or a flow of water.
अचानक हुई बारिश ने हमारी यात्रा के क्रम को खंडित कर दिया। (Sudden rain disrupted the sequence of our journey.)
When using it in the passive sense, you would change 'करना' to 'होना' (to happen/to be). For example, 'मूर्ति खंडित हो गई' (The statue got fragmented). This shift from active to passive is very common in news headlines where the culprit is unknown. As a B2 learner, practicing the transition between 'खंडित करना' (active) and 'खंडित होना' (passive) will significantly improve your narrative skills. This verb also pairs well with adverbs like 'पूरी तरह से' (completely) or 'आंशिक रूप से' (partially) to specify the degree of fragmentation. For example, 'भूकंप ने दीवार को आंशिक रूप से खंडित कर दिया' (The earthquake partially fragmented the wall).
You are most likely to encounter खंडित करना in environments where formal or 'Shuddh' (pure) Hindi is spoken. It is not a word you would typically hear in a Bollywood item song or a casual street-side chat about cricket, unless the speaker is being deliberately dramatic or formal. However, it is ubiquitous in specific domains that every advanced learner should be familiar with.
- News and Media
- News anchors use this word when reporting on vandalism, archaeological discoveries, or when a political consensus is broken. It provides a serious tone to the reporting.
समाचार: प्रदर्शनकारियों ने सार्वजनिक संपत्ति को खंडित करने का प्रयास किया। (News: Protesters tried to damage/fragment public property.)
- Historical and Religious Discourses
- In documentaries about Indian history or during religious sermons (pravachans), this word is used to describe the destruction of heritage or the breaking of a sacred vow. A priest might talk about how a devotee's 'संकल्प' (resolve) was 'खंडित' by worldly temptations.
- Legal and Academic Settings
- In a courtroom, a judge or lawyer might use it to refer to the invalidation of a contract or a piece of evidence. In universities, professors use it when discussing the dismantling of old ideologies or the fragmentation of a society along ethnic or linguistic lines.
प्रोफेसर: वैश्वीकरण ने पारंपरिक सामाजिक ढांचों को खंडित कर दिया है। (Professor: Globalization has fragmented traditional social structures.)
Finally, you will find this word in high-quality Hindi literature (Sahitya). Authors use it to describe internal states—a broken heart (हृदय खंडित करना), a shattered dream (सपना खंडित करना), or a divided mind. It adds a layer of 'brokenness' that is more permanent and structural than the simple word 'टूटना'. Hearing this word in a conversation is a sign that the topic is serious, intellectual, or of historical importance.
While खंडित करना is a powerful word, it is often misused by learners who treat it as a direct synonym for 'to break' in all contexts. Because it is a high-register word, using it in the wrong place can make you sound unnaturally formal or even slightly absurd. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid.
- 1. Over-formality in Casual Situations
- You wouldn't use this for everyday objects. If you drop a glass in the kitchen, you say 'गिलास टूट गया' (The glass broke). If you say 'मैंने गिलास खंडित कर दिया', it sounds like you performed a ritualistic destruction of the glass or are speaking like a 19th-century poet.
❌ गलत: बच्चे ने खिलौना खंडित कर दिया। (Too formal)
✅ सही: बच्चे ने खिलौना तोड़ दिया। (Natural)
- 2. Confusing 'खंडित करना' with 'विभाजित करना'
- 'विभाजित करना' (vibhājit karnā) means to divide into organized parts (like a cake or a country's borders). 'खंडित करना' implies a more destructive or irregular breaking into pieces. If you are dividing a task among teammates, use 'विभाजित'. If you are talking about a society breaking into warring factions, 'खंडित' is more appropriate.
- 3. Subject-Verb Agreement with 'ने'
- Since this is a compound verb with 'करना', learners often forget to use 'ने' with the subject in the past tense. Remember: 'उसने (subject + ne) नियम को खंडित किया'.
❌ गलत: वह नियम खंडित किया।
✅ सही: उसने नियम खंडित किया।
Another mistake is using it for 'breaking a promise'. While 'खंडित करना' can work in very formal literature, the standard phrase is 'वादा तोड़ना' or 'वचन भंग करना'. Using 'खंडित' here might sound like the promise was a physical object that shattered into pieces. Stick to the contexts of physical fragments, logical refutation, or record-breaking to stay safe. Lastly, ensure you don't confuse it with 'खंडन करना' (khaṇḍan karnā), which specifically means 'to deny' or 'to refute' an accusation. While related, 'खंडन करना' is purely verbal/argumentative, whereas 'खंडित करना' can be physical.
To master खंडित करना, it is helpful to see how it sits among its synonyms and near-synonyms. Hindi has a rich vocabulary for 'breaking' and 'dividing,' and choosing the right one depends entirely on the register and the object being broken.
- खंडित करना vs. तोड़ना (Toṛnā)
- 'तोड़ना' is the general, everyday word for breaking. It can be used for a pencil, a window, or a heart. 'खंडित करना' is formal and implies fragmentation. You 'तोड़ो' a stick, but you 'खंडित' a monumental record or a sacred idol.
- खंडित करना vs. भंग करना (Bhaṅg karnā)
- 'भंग करना' is usually used for abstract things like laws, peace, or meetings. While you can 'शांति खंडित करना', 'शांति भंग करना' is more common in legal contexts. 'भंग' implies a violation of order, while 'खंडित' implies a loss of wholeness.
तुलना: उसने नियम भंग किया (violated the rule) बनाम उसने मूर्ति को खंडित किया (fragmented the idol).
- खंडित करना vs. खंडन करना (Khaṇḍan karnā)
- These two are often confused. 'खंडन करना' is specifically used for refuting an allegation, a theory, or a statement. It is a 'verbal' breaking. 'खंडित करना' is more general and can be physical. If you refute a claim, you 'खंडन' it. If you break a physical structure, you 'खंडित' it.
Other alternatives include 'विभाजित करना' (to divide/partition) and 'बिखेरना' (to scatter). 'विभाजित करना' is neutral and mathematical. 'बिखेरना' is used when pieces are spread out across a surface. 'खंडित करना' remains the best choice when the focus is on the loss of integrity of a formal or significant object. For example, 'उसकी एकाग्रता खंडित हो गई' (His concentration was fragmented) sounds much more sophisticated than 'उसकी एकाग्रता टूट गई'. By choosing 'खंडित', you suggest that the concentration was a solid, unified state that has now been split into disjointed parts.

Summary
खंडित करना is the 'high-level' way to say 'to break' or 'to fragment'. Use it when you want to sound precise, formal, or academic, especially when referring to historical artifacts, world records, or refuting a claim. Example: उसने रिकॉर्ड खंडित किया (He broke the record).
- A formal verb meaning to fragment or break into parts.
- Used for physical objects, records, peace, and logical arguments.
- Common in news, archaeology, and academic Hindi contexts.
- Implies a loss of integrity or wholeness in the object.
Use for Records
Always use 'खंडित करना' when talking about world records in a formal setting. It sounds much better than 'तोड़ना'.
Past Tense Check
Don't forget the 'ने'! 'उसने मूर्ति खंडित की' is the correct way to say 'He fragmented the statue'.
Recognize the Root
Whenever you see 'खंड' (Khand), think of 'piece'. This will help you understand related words like 'खंडहर' (ruins).
Avoid for Small Things
Don't 'खंडित' a pencil or a plate. It sounds too dramatic. Stick to 'तोड़ना' for household items.
Beispiel
पुराने रिकॉर्ड को खंडित करना सुरक्षा के लिए आवश्यक है।
