معنی
One's actions determine their fate or consequences.
زمینه فرهنگی
The proverb is a secularized version of the Law of Karma. It reflects the belief that the universe is just and everyone gets what they deserve based on their 'Kriya' (action). Parents frequently use this to discourage children from cheating or relying on 'sifarish' (nepotism/connections). It promotes a meritocratic worldview. Many classic Bollywood 'Masala' movies are built on this theme—the villain eventually suffers because of his 'karni,' and the hero succeeds through his. In villages, this is often said during 'Panchayat' (village council) meetings to remind people that their reputation is built on their deeds over decades.
Use it as a 'Mic Drop'
This proverb is most effective when used at the end of an argument or a piece of advice to signal that the discussion is over and the person must now face reality.
Don't change the gender
Even if you are a man talking to a man, keep it 'Karni' and 'Utarni'. Changing it to masculine makes it sound like you don't know Hindi well.
