इसके उपरांत
इसके उपरांत en 30 segundos
- A formal temporal connective meaning 'after this' or 'subsequently', used to link events chronologically in high-register Hindi writing and speech.
- Composed of 'Iske' (this + genitive) and 'Uprant' (after), it serves as a sophisticated alternative to the common phrase 'Iske baad'.
- Primarily found in news, academic texts, legal documents, and literature, signaling a logical and professional transition between thoughts or actions.
- Requires the preceding element to be in the oblique case; it is never used in casual slang but is essential for B1+ proficiency.
The Hindi phrase इसके उपरांत (Iske Uprant) is a sophisticated temporal connective that translates to "after this," "subsequently," or "following this." While the more common इसके बाद (Iske Baad) is used in everyday conversation, इसके उपरांत elevates the register of speech or writing to a formal, administrative, or literary level. It is composed of two parts: 'इसके' (the proximal demonstrative 'यह' in the oblique case with the genitive postposition 'के') and 'उपरांत' (a formal postposition derived from Sanskrit meaning 'after' or 'beyond').
- Register
- Formal, Academic, and Literary. It is rarely heard in casual street slang but is ubiquitous in news broadcasts and textbooks.
In the context of CEFR B1 learners, this word represents a transition from basic sequencing to more nuanced professional communication. When you use इसके उपरांत, you are signaling to the listener that you are presenting a sequence of events with a degree of precision and formality. It is often used to conclude a thought and transition into the next logical step of a process, such as in a recipe, a legal proceeding, or a historical narrative.
मुख्य अतिथि ने भाषण दिया, इसके उपरांत पुरस्कार वितरण समारोह शुरू हुआ। (The chief guest gave a speech; subsequently, the prize distribution ceremony began.)
Historically, 'uprant' finds its roots in the Sanskrit 'upari' (above/after) and 'anta' (end). This gives the word a sense of "at the end of what was just mentioned." In modern Hindi, it functions as a postpositional phrase that requires the preceding noun or pronoun to be in the oblique case with 'के'. When attached to 'यह' (this), it becomes 'इसके उपरांत'. If you were referring to something further away, you might say 'उसके उपरांत' (after that).
सत्र समाप्त हुआ, इसके उपरांत सभी सदस्यों ने जलपान किया। (The session ended, after which all members had refreshments.)
- Synonym Comparison
- Compared to 'इसके पश्चात' (Iske Pashchat), 'इसके उपरांत' is slightly more common in modern formal prose, while 'पश्चात' feels even more classical.
Understanding the nuance of 'uprant' also helps in understanding other related words like 'तदुपरान्त' (Taduprant), which is a sandhi (combination) of 'Tat' + 'Uprant', meaning exactly the same thing but in a single Sanskritized word. For a B1 learner, mastering इसके उपरांत is a key milestone in moving away from repetitive 'phir' (then) and 'baad mein' (afterwards) structures that characterize beginner Hindi. It allows for a smoother, more rhythmic flow in storytelling, especially when describing a chronological sequence of events in a professional report or a formal letter.
जांच पूरी की गई, इसके उपरांत रिपोर्ट प्रस्तुत की गई। (The investigation was completed; subsequently, the report was submitted.)
To conclude, इसके उपरांत is not just a vocabulary word but a stylistic tool. It bridges the gap between the action that has just occurred and the action that follows, providing a clear, formal, and logical progression. Whether you are reading a newspaper like 'Dainik Jagran' or listening to a speech by a government official, you will encounter this phrase frequently. Practicing its placement—usually at the beginning of a clause or following a comma—will significantly improve your written Hindi composition skills.
हमने शहर का भ्रमण किया, इसके उपरांत हम अपने होटल लौट आए। (We toured the city, after which we returned to our hotel.)
- Etymological Root
- The word 'उपरांत' stems from Sanskrit 'Uparanta', where 'upa' suggests proximity or secondary status and 'anta' means end/limit.
By the end of this module, you should be comfortable replacing the basic 'इसके बाद' with 'इसके उपरांत' in any context where you wish to sound polite, educated, and precise. It is the hallmark of a learner who is paying attention to the 'Shuddh' (pure) or 'Manak' (standard) forms of the Hindi language.
Using इसके उपरांत effectively requires understanding its role as a conjunction-like adverbial phrase. It typically sits at the beginning of a second clause or follows a distinct event to show chronological progression. Unlike 'बाद में' which can float more freely in a sentence, इसके उपरांत usually demands a preceding context that it refers back to (the 'is' in 'iske' refers to the previous sentence or clause).
- Sentence Structure 1: Clause Connector
- [Action A] + [Comma] + इसके उपरांत + [Action B]. This is the most common formal structure.
When writing, ensure there is a comma before the phrase if it is connecting two independent ideas within the same sentence. If it starts a new sentence, it should be followed by the subject of that sentence. For example, "हमने भोजन किया। इसके उपरांत हमने आराम किया।" (We had food. After this, we rested.) Here, the phrase clearly refers back to the act of eating.
सूर्य अस्त हुआ, इसके उपरांत चारों ओर अंधेरा छा गया। (The sun set; subsequently, darkness spread everywhere.)
Another important usage is in instructions or procedural writing. If you are describing a multi-step process, इसके उपरांत acts as a signpost for the reader. It helps avoid the monotony of repeating 'phir' (then) at every step. In a formal recipe or a lab experiment report, this phrase adds a layer of professionalism.
मिश्रण को गरम करें, इसके उपरांत इसे ठंडा होने के लिए रख दें। (Heat the mixture; subsequently, leave it to cool.)
- Sentence Structure 2: Initial Position
- इसके उपरांत + [Subject] + [Verb]. Used to start a new paragraph or a new thought in a sequence.
In literary Hindi, authors often use इसके उपरांत to build tension or indicate a significant shift in the narrative. It suggests that the following event is a direct consequence or the next major phase of the story. For instance, after a long description of a battle, an author might write, "इसके उपरांत शांति छा गई" (After this, peace prevailed), emphasizing the transition from chaos to calm.
राजा ने आज्ञा दी, इसके उपरांत सैनिकों ने कूच किया। (The king gave the order; subsequently, the soldiers marched.)
Finally, consider the difference between इसके उपरांत and इसके फलस्वरूप (as a result of this). While 'uprant' denotes time (after), 'falaswarup' denotes causality (because of). Sometimes they overlap, but 'uprant' is primarily about the sequence. If you want to say that something happened *just because* of the previous event, use 'falaswarup'. If you just want to say it happened *after*, 'uprant' is your best choice.
परीक्षा समाप्त हुई, इसके उपरांत छात्रों ने राहत की सांस ली। (The exam ended; subsequently, the students breathed a sigh of relief.)
- Common Pairing
- Often paired with verbs of completion like 'समाप्त होना' (to finish), 'पूरा होना' (to complete), or 'हो चुकना' (to have happened).
Mastering these structures will allow you to write essays, reports, and formal letters in Hindi that sound natural to a native speaker's ear. It shows a command over the logical connectors of the language, which is a vital skill for any B1 level student aiming for B2 proficiency.
While you might not hear इसके उपरांत while buying vegetables at a local market in Delhi, it is a staple of 'Standard Hindi' (Manak Hindi) found in specific professional and cultural spheres. Understanding where it appears will help you tune your ear to formal Hindi registers.
- 1. News and Media
- On channels like DD News or in the editorials of 'The Hindu' (Hindi version) or 'Navbharat Times', anchors and writers use this phrase to link related news stories or events in a timeline.
In news reporting, clarity and formality are paramount. An anchor might say, "प्रधानमंत्री ने राष्ट्र को संबोधित किया, इसके उपरांत उन्होंने कैबिनेट की बैठक ली" (The PM addressed the nation, subsequently he held a cabinet meeting). This usage provides a structured narrative that feels authoritative.
बजट पेश किया गया, इसके उपरांत शेयर बाजार में तेजी देखी गई। (The budget was presented; subsequently, a surge was seen in the stock market.)
Another common venue is the Indian classroom or academic lectures. Professors, when explaining a historical sequence or a scientific process, will use इसके उपरांत to transition between points. For example, in a history lecture about the Indian Independence movement: "गांधी जी ने दांडी यात्रा शुरू की, इसके उपरांत सविनय अवज्ञा आंदोलन ने जोर पकड़ा" (Gandhi ji started the Dandi March; subsequently, the Civil Disobedience movement gained momentum).
प्रथम विश्व युद्ध समाप्त हुआ, इसके उपरांत दुनिया का नक्शा बदल गया। (WWI ended; subsequently, the map of the world changed.)
- 2. Legal and Official Documents
- Government circulars (Sarkari Adhisuchna) and court orders are filled with this phrase to establish the order of facts or legal steps.
If you ever have to deal with Indian bureaucracy or read a rental agreement in Hindi, you will see 'uprant'. It is used to define what happens after a certain condition is met. "किरायेदार द्वारा भुगतान किए जाने के उपरांत, रसीद दी जाएगी" (After payment by the tenant, a receipt will be given). Note that here it is used with a noun ('bhugtan' - payment) rather than just 'iske', but the core word remains 'uprant'.
आवेदन जमा करें, इसके उपरांत आपको एक संदर्भ संख्या मिलेगी। (Submit the application; subsequently, you will receive a reference number.)
Lastly, you will find it in religious discourses (Pravachan) and formal literature. When a narrator is telling a story from the Ramayana or Mahabharata, they often use इसके उपरांत to move the plot forward. It gives the storytelling a rhythmic, timeless quality that 'phir' simply cannot provide. It elevates the story from a simple chat to an epic narrative.
राम ने धनुष तोड़ा, इसके उपरांत उनका विवाह सीता से हुआ। (Ram broke the bow; subsequently, his marriage to Sita took place.)
- 3. Literature and Poetry
- Classic Hindi literature (Premchand, Prasad, Nirala) uses this phrase to maintain a high linguistic standard and precise temporal flow.
In summary, while 'इसके बाद' is the king of conversation, इसके उपरांत is the king of the written word and formal address. Recognizing it will open up a world of professional and literary Hindi that is otherwise inaccessible to the casual learner.
Even for intermediate learners, इसके उपरांत can be tricky because of its formal nature and specific grammatical requirements. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid so you can use this phrase like a native speaker.
- Mistake 1: Misusing the Register
- Using 'इसके उपरांत' in a very casual setting, like chatting with friends or ordering food, sounds oddly stiff and unnatural.
Imagine saying in English, "I shall consume this apple, and subsequently, I shall depart for the cinema" to a close friend. It sounds robotic. Similarly, in Hindi, avoid saying "मैंने चाय पी, इसके उपरांत मैं सो गया" to your roommate. Stick to "इसके बाद" for daily life. Reserve इसके उपरांत for essays, speeches, and professional emails.
Incorrect (Casual Context): चलो क्रिकेट खेलते हैं, इसके उपरांत आइसक्रीम खाएंगे। (Better: ...इसके बाद आइसक्रीम खाएंगे।)
- Mistake 2: Forgetting the Genitive 'Ke'
- A common grammatical error is omitting the 'ke' or using the wrong case for the pronoun.
You cannot say "यह उपरांत" or "इस उपरांत". The postposition 'uprant' always requires the 'ke' marker. Since 'यह' + 'के' becomes 'इसके', the phrase is always इसके उपरांत. If you are using a noun, it must be [Noun] + के + उपरांत. For example, "भोजन के उपरांत" (After the meal), not "भोजन उपरांत" (though the latter is sometimes seen in very condensed headlines, it is grammatically incomplete in full sentences).
Correct: कार्य के उपरांत। (After the work.) Incorrect: कार्य उपरांत।
- Mistake 3: Confusing with 'Falaswarup' (Consequence)
- Confusing chronological order with logical causality.
'इसके उपरांत' simply means time passed and then X happened. It doesn't necessarily mean X happened *because* of what came before. If you want to emphasize that the second event was caused by the first, use 'इसके फलस्वरूप' or 'इस कारण'. Using 'uprant' when you mean 'therefore' can make your logic sound weak in a formal argument.
बारिश हुई, इसके उपरांत हम बाहर गए। (It rained, and then we went out - maybe the rain stopped.)
- Mistake 4: Over-reliance in Writing
- Using 'इसके उपरांत' at the start of every single sentence in a paragraph.
This is a stylistic mistake. Good Hindi prose varies its connectors. If you use इसके उपरांत in sentence one, try 'तत्पश्चात' in sentence two, and perhaps 'तदनंतर' or a simple 'फिर' in sentence three. Variety is the spice of formal writing.
Avoid: ...इसके उपरांत... इसके उपरांत... इसके उपरांत... (Use synonyms instead!)
By keeping these mistakes in mind, you will ensure that your use of इसके उपरांत sounds intentional and grammatically flawless, helping you reach that elusive B2/C1 level of natural-sounding formal Hindi.
Hindi is rich in temporal connectors, and choosing the right one depends entirely on the context and the level of formality you wish to convey. Here is a breakdown of words similar to इसके उपरांत and how they differ in nuance.
- 1. इसके बाद (Iske Baad)
- The most common, neutral alternative. Use this in 90% of daily conversations. It is neither too formal nor too casual.
While 'uprant' is Sanskrit-heavy, 'baad' is of Persian origin (via Urdu). In modern spoken Hindi, 'baad' is the default. If you are talking to a friend about your weekend plans, use 'इसके बाद'.
Comparison:
- Neutral: फिल्म के बाद खाना खाएंगे। (We'll eat after the movie.)
- Formal: फिल्म की समाप्ति के उपरांत भोज का आयोजन होगा। (A feast will be organized following the conclusion of the film.)
- 2. इसके पश्चात (Iske Pashchat)
- Very formal, often used in classical literature or high-level academic writing. It is almost interchangeable with 'uprant' but feels slightly more 'pure' Sanskrit.
'Pashchat' is the direct opposite of 'Purv' (before). In legal or highly formal invitations, you might see 'Iske Pashchat'. It carries a weight of tradition and ceremony.
यज्ञ संपन्न हुआ, इसके पश्चात दान दिया गया। (The ritual was completed; thereafter, donations were given.)
- 3. तदनंतर (Tadanantar)
- Extremely formal. Used almost exclusively in philosophical texts, high literature, or formal historical accounts.
'Tadanantar' means "immediately following that." It is a very precise word. If you use this in a normal conversation, people will think you are reciting a poem or a scripture. However, knowing it is excellent for advanced reading comprehension.
घटना घटी, तदनंतर राजा ने सभा बुलाई। (The event occurred; immediately following that, the king called a meeting.)
- 4. फिर (Phir)
- The informal 'then'. Use this in casual speech, when telling a story to a child, or in quick text messages.
'Phir' is the workhorse of spoken Hindi. It is versatile and simple. While इसके उपरांत provides a formal bridge, 'phir' provides a quick jump to the next action. "मैंने खाना खाया, फिर मैं सो गया" (I ate, then I slept).
Comparison:
- Casual: वह आया, फिर चला गया। (He came, then left.)
- Formal: उनका आगमन हुआ, इसके उपरांत वे प्रस्थान कर गए। (They arrived; subsequently, they departed.)
By choosing between these alternatives, you can control the 'flavor' of your Hindi. As a B1 learner, you should now be practicing the move from 'phir' and 'baad' towards 'uprant' and 'pashchat' in your written assignments to demonstrate a sophisticated grasp of the language.

Summary
Mastering 'इसके उपरांत' (Iske Uprant) allows you to elevate your Hindi from basic conversational levels to a formal, professional register. It is the perfect tool for sequencing events in essays or speeches. Example: 'सत्र समाप्त हुआ, इसके उपरांत जलपान हुआ' (The session ended, subsequently refreshments were served).
- A formal temporal connective meaning 'after this' or 'subsequently', used to link events chronologically in high-register Hindi writing and speech.
- Composed of 'Iske' (this + genitive) and 'Uprant' (after), it serves as a sophisticated alternative to the common phrase 'Iske baad'.
- Primarily found in news, academic texts, legal documents, and literature, signaling a logical and professional transition between thoughts or actions.
- Requires the preceding element to be in the oblique case; it is never used in casual slang but is essential for B1+ proficiency.
