Significado
A responsibility becoming a burden.
Contexto cultural
In farming communities, this phrase is used literally for bulls or oxen that become aggressive. A farmer might say 'Bail angavar ala' to warn others. In 'Masala' movies, the hero often says this to the villain: 'Majhya angavar yeshil tar tula sodnar nahi' (If you charge at me, I won't spare you). Writers like P.L. Deshpande used this idiom to describe the middle-class struggle where social duties 'come on the body' of a person who just wants a quiet life. In Pune/Mumbai offices, it's a common 'water-cooler' phrase to complain about a boss who delegates everything to one person.
