- More formal and stronger than 'लेकिन' (but).

The phrase इसके विपरीत (iske vipreet) is a highly versatile and essential conjunction phrase in Hindi, primarily used to express a direct contrast or opposition between two statements, actions, or situations. Literally translated, 'इसके' means 'of this' or 'to this', and 'विपरीत' means 'opposite', 'contrary', or 'inverse'. When combined, they form a phrase equivalent to the English expressions 'in contrast to', 'on the contrary', 'conversely', or 'as opposed to this'. Understanding this phrase is crucial for learners aiming for the B1 level and beyond, as it elevates the discourse from simple sentences to complex, nuanced arguments.
- Literal Breakdown
- इसके (Pronoun + Postposition) = of/to this; विपरीत (Adjective/Adverb) = opposite/contrary.
वह बहुत शांत है, इसके विपरीत उसका भाई बहुत बातूनी है। (He is very quiet; in contrast, his brother is very talkative.)
In everyday conversation, as well as in formal writing, 'इसके विपरीत' serves as a pivot point. It signals to the listener or reader that the upcoming information will contradict or present an alternative to what was just stated. This is particularly useful in debates, comparative essays, and analytical discussions. The word 'विपरीत' originates from Sanskrit, giving the phrase a slightly formal but widely understood register. It is often used interchangeably with phrases like 'इसके उलट' (iske ulat), which is slightly more colloquial, or 'बल्कि' (balki), though 'बल्कि' often carries the sense of 'rather' or 'instead'.
मुझे लगा कि बारिश होगी, इसके विपरीत धूप निकल आई। (I thought it would rain; on the contrary, the sun came out.)
- Grammatical Function
- It functions as an adverbial phrase of contrast, connecting two independent clauses or sentences.
To master 'इसके विपरीत', one must pay attention to the context. It is not merely a substitute for 'लेकिन' (but). While 'लेकिन' introduces a simple exception or contrast, 'इसके विपरीत' emphasizes a stark, often diametrical opposition. For example, 'मैं गया, लेकिन वह नहीं आया' (I went, but he didn't come) is a simple contrast. However, 'वह बहुत मेहनत करता है, इसके विपरीत मैं आलसी हूँ' (He works very hard; conversely, I am lazy) highlights a fundamental difference in nature or habit.
कंपनी को नुकसान की उम्मीद थी, इसके विपरीत भारी मुनाफा हुआ। (The company expected a loss; on the contrary, there was a huge profit.)
- Synonym Comparison
- Unlike 'बल्कि' (rather), 'इसके विपरीत' does not necessarily correct a previous statement; it simply places a contrasting fact next to it.
शहरों में प्रदूषण बढ़ रहा है, इसके विपरीत गाँवों में हवा साफ है। (Pollution is increasing in cities; in contrast, the air is clean in villages.)
The beauty of 'इसके विपरीत' lies in its structural clarity. It acts as a signpost in your sentence, guiding the reader's expectations. When a native speaker hears 'इसके विपरीत', their brain immediately prepares for an antonymous concept or a reversed scenario. This makes it an incredibly powerful tool for persuasion and clear communication. Whether you are discussing the pros and cons of a new policy, comparing two different cultures, or simply describing two different personalities, 'इसके विपरीत' provides the necessary linguistic bridge to make your comparison sharp and effective. By practicing this phrase, learners can significantly enhance the sophistication of their Hindi expression.
सर्दी में दिन छोटे होते हैं, इसके विपरीत गर्मी में दिन लंबे होते हैं। (In winter, days are short; conversely, in summer, days are long.)
Using इसके विपरीत correctly requires an understanding of sentence structure and the logical relationship between the clauses you are connecting. As an adverbial phrase of contrast, it is most commonly placed at the beginning of the second clause or sentence, immediately following the statement it is contrasting with. The structure generally follows this pattern: [Statement A] + [Punctuation] + [इसके विपरीत] + [Statement B, which is the opposite of A]. The punctuation before 'इसके विपरीत' is typically a comma, a semicolon, or a full stop, depending on the length and independence of the clauses.
- Sentence Position
- Usually at the beginning of the contrasting clause, acting as a transitional phrase.
राम को मीठा पसंद है। इसके विपरीत, श्याम को तीखा पसंद है। (Ram likes sweets. In contrast, Shyam likes spicy food.)
When speaking, there is often a slight pause before and after 'इसके विपरीत' to emphasize the contrast. This pause acts as a verbal comma, giving the listener a moment to process the first statement before the contrasting information is introduced. In formal writing, such as essays or news reports, 'इसके विपरीत' is highly favored over simpler words like 'पर' or 'लेकिन' because it adds a layer of academic or professional rigor to the text. It shows that the writer is making a deliberate and analytical comparison rather than just stringing thoughts together.
अमीर लोग और अमीर हो रहे हैं, इसके विपरीत गरीब और गरीब हो रहे हैं। (The rich are getting richer; conversely, the poor are getting poorer.)
- Formal vs. Informal
- While perfectly fine in daily speech, it shines in formal writing, debates, and analytical discussions.
Another important aspect of using 'इसके विपरीत' is ensuring grammatical parallelism where possible. If the first clause describes a continuous action, the second clause often sounds best if it also describes a continuous action. For example, 'वह खेल रहा है, इसके विपरीत मैं पढ़ रहा हूँ' (He is playing; in contrast, I am studying). This parallelism makes the contrast sharper and the sentence more elegant. However, strict parallelism is not a rigid rule; the primary requirement is logical opposition.
उत्तरी भारत में कड़ाके की ठंड है, इसके विपरीत दक्षिण में मौसम सुहावना है। (There is severe cold in North India; in contrast, the weather is pleasant in the South.)
- Common Collocations
- Often used with words related to expectations, rules, or nature (e.g., उम्मीद के विपरीत - contrary to expectations).
मेरी सोच के विपरीत, फिल्म बहुत अच्छी थी। (Contrary to my thinking, the movie was very good.)
To practice using 'इसके विपरीत', try taking simple sentences connected by 'लेकिन' (but) and upgrading them. Change 'वह गरीब है लेकिन ईमानदार है' (He is poor but honest) to something more comparative: 'कुछ लोग अमीर होकर भी बेईमान होते हैं, इसके विपरीत वह गरीब होकर भी ईमानदार है' (Some people are dishonest despite being rich; in contrast, he is honest despite being poor). This exercise will help you internalize the specific type of strong contrast that 'इसके विपरीत' is designed to convey. It is a tool for building complex, compound sentences that reflect a higher level of language proficiency.
पहले मुझे यह काम मुश्किल लगा, इसके विपरीत यह बहुत आसान निकला। (Initially I found this work difficult; on the contrary, it turned out to be very easy.)
The phrase इसके विपरीत is ubiquitous across various registers of the Hindi language, making it a highly valuable phrase for learners to recognize and use. You will frequently encounter it in news broadcasts, political debates, academic lectures, and formal literature. In journalism, reporters use it to present balanced views or to highlight discrepancies. For instance, a news anchor might say, 'सरकार का दावा है कि महंगाई कम हुई है, इसके विपरीत आम जनता का कहना है कि खर्चे बढ़ गए हैं' (The government claims inflation has decreased; in contrast, the general public says expenses have increased). This usage underscores the phrase's role in objective reporting.
- News and Media
- Used to present opposing viewpoints, contrast statistics, or highlight contradictions in statements.
शेयर बाज़ार में आज गिरावट दर्ज की गई, इसके विपरीत सोने के दाम बढ़ गए। (The stock market recorded a decline today; conversely, gold prices went up.)
In academic and professional settings, 'इसके विपरीत' is indispensable. Whether writing a comparative essay in school, presenting a business analysis, or discussing scientific findings, this phrase helps structure arguments logically. A teacher might use it to explain contrasting historical events or scientific phenomena. For example, 'पौधे दिन में ऑक्सीजन छोड़ते हैं, इसके विपरीत रात में वे कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड छोड़ते हैं' (Plants release oxygen during the day; conversely, at night they release carbon dioxide). Here, the phrase clearly demarcates the two opposing biological processes.
पश्चिमी देशों में व्यक्तिवाद को महत्व दिया जाता है, इसके विपरीत एशियाई देशों में परिवार को। (Individualism is valued in Western countries; in contrast, family is valued in Asian countries.)
- Everyday Conversations
- While formal, it is widely used in daily life when people want to make a strong point or correct a misconception.
Despite its slightly formal Sanskrit roots, 'इसके विपरीत' has comfortably settled into everyday, colloquial Hindi. You will hear it in casual conversations when someone is trying to emphasize a difference in opinion, habit, or outcome. If two friends are discussing a movie, one might say, 'सब कह रहे थे फिल्म बोरिंग है, इसके विपरीत मुझे तो बहुत मज़ा आया' (Everyone was saying the movie is boring; on the contrary, I enjoyed it a lot). In this context, the phrase adds a dramatic flair to the speaker's personal opinion, contrasting it sharply with the general consensus.
मुझे लगा वह गुस्सा होगा, इसके विपरीत वह मुस्कुरा रहा था। (I thought he would be angry; on the contrary, he was smiling.)
- Literature and Poetry
- Authors use it to create juxtaposition, highlighting the differences between characters, settings, or themes.
नायक बहुत साहसी था, इसके विपरीत उसका मित्र बहुत डरपोक था। (The hero was very brave; in contrast, his friend was very cowardly.)
Furthermore, 'इसके विपरीत' is frequently found in legal and official documents. Legal language relies heavily on precise distinctions, and this phrase provides the exactitude needed to contrast clauses, laws, or testimonies. For example, 'नियम ए के तहत यह अनुमति है, इसके विपरीत नियम बी इसे वर्जित करता है' (Under Rule A this is permitted; conversely, Rule B prohibits it). By familiarizing yourself with 'इसके विपरीत' in these varied contexts, you not only improve your vocabulary but also gain insight into how Hindi speakers structure their thoughts, arguments, and narratives across different spheres of life.
वादी का दावा है कि ज़मीन उसकी है, इसके विपरीत प्रतिवादी के पास कागज़ात हैं। (The plaintiff claims the land is his; in contrast, the defendant has the documents.)
While इसके विपरीत is a powerful tool for expressing contrast, learners often make a few common mistakes when incorporating it into their Hindi. The most frequent error is using it as a direct, one-to-one replacement for the simple conjunction 'लेकिन' (but) or 'पर' (but/yet) in situations where there is no strong opposition. 'इसके विपरीत' implies a diametrical opposite or a stark contrast. If you say, 'मैं बाज़ार गया, इसके विपरीत मैंने कुछ नहीं खरीदा' (I went to the market; in contrast, I bought nothing), it sounds unnatural because not buying something isn't the direct 'opposite' of going to the market. A simple 'लेकिन' (but) is correct here.
- Mistake 1: Overuse for Simple Contrast
- Using 'इसके विपरीत' instead of 'लेकिन' when the clauses are merely different, not opposite.
❌ वह थका हुआ था, इसके विपरीत वह काम करता रहा।
✅ वह थका हुआ था, फिर भी वह काम करता रहा। (He was tired, yet he kept working.)
Another common mistake involves sentence structure and punctuation. Because 'इसके विपरीत' is a conjunctive adverbial phrase, it usually requires a pause before it. Learners sometimes run the sentences together without a comma or a full stop, which makes the sentence structurally confusing. For example, 'राम लंबा है इसके विपरीत श्याम छोटा है' should be written as 'राम लंबा है, इसके विपरीत श्याम छोटा है' or 'राम लंबा है। इसके विपरीत, श्याम छोटा है'. The pause is essential for the listener or reader to process the contrast being made.
❌ मुझे चाय पसंद है इसके विपरीत उसे कॉफी।
✅ मुझे चाय पसंद है, इसके विपरीत उसे कॉफी पसंद है।
- Mistake 2: Incorrect Postposition
- Saying 'इस विपरीत' or 'इससे विपरीत' instead of the correct 'इसके विपरीत'.
Learners also sometimes confuse the postposition that precedes 'विपरीत'. The correct phrase is 'इसके विपरीत' (in contrast to *this*). Using 'इससे विपरीत' (from this opposite) or just 'इस विपरीत' is grammatically incorrect. The 'के' is a possessive postposition linking 'यह' (this, which becomes 'इस' in oblique case) to 'विपरीत'. When linking 'विपरीत' directly to a noun, the pattern is '[Noun] + के + विपरीत'. For example, 'नियम के विपरीत' (contrary to the rule). Forgetting the 'के' is a hallmark of beginner-level errors.
❌ यह मेरी सोच से विपरीत है।
✅ यह मेरी सोच के विपरीत है। (This is contrary to my thinking.)
- Mistake 3: Redundancy
- Using 'इसके विपरीत' alongside other contrasting words like 'लेकिन' in the same clause.
❌ लेकिन इसके विपरीत, वह नहीं आया।
✅ इसके विपरीत, वह नहीं आया। (On the contrary, he didn't come.)
Finally, redundancy is an issue. Sometimes learners will say 'लेकिन इसके विपरीत' (but in contrast to this). While occasionally used in very casual speech for heavy emphasis, in standard and formal Hindi, it is redundant. 'इसके विपरीत' already contains the contrasting power of 'but' and amplifies it. Using both clutters the sentence. By avoiding these common pitfalls—overuse for simple contrast, poor punctuation, incorrect postpositions, and redundancy—you can use 'इसके विपरीत' with the precision and elegance of a native speaker.
❌ पर इसके विपरीत सच कुछ और है।
✅ इसके विपरीत सच कुछ और है। (On the contrary, the truth is something else.)
Hindi offers a rich vocabulary for expressing contrast, and while इसके विपरीत is one of the most precise, several other words and phrases share similar meanings. Understanding the nuances between these synonyms allows for greater fluency and stylistic variation. One of the most common synonyms is इसके उलट (iske ulat). 'उलट' comes from the verb 'उलटना' (to overturn/reverse). 'इसके उलट' means exactly the same as 'इसके विपरीत' but has a slightly more colloquial, everyday feel. While 'विपरीत' sounds formal and academic (due to its Sanskrit origin), 'उलट' is perfect for casual conversations with friends or family.
- इसके उलट (Iske Ulat)
- Meaning: The reverse of this. Usage: Colloquial, everyday speech. Interchangeable with 'इसके विपरीत'.
वह बहुत तेज़ दौड़ता है, इसके उलट मैं बहुत धीमा हूँ। (He runs very fast; the reverse of this, I am very slow.)
Another closely related word is बल्कि (balki). However, 'बल्कि' translates more accurately to 'rather' or 'instead'. It is used not just to show contrast, but to correct a negative statement with a positive one, or to add an escalating point (not only this, but also that). For example, 'वह मूर्ख नहीं है, बल्कि बहुत समझदार है' (He is not a fool, rather he is very sensible). You cannot easily swap 'इसके विपरीत' here without changing the sentence structure. 'इसके विपरीत' places two facts side-by-side, whereas 'बल्कि' often replaces the first fact with the second.
मैंने उसे डांटा नहीं, बल्कि समझाया। (I didn't scold him, rather I explained it to him.)
- विरोध में (Virodh Mein)
- Meaning: In opposition to. Usage: Used when there is active conflict, resistance, or disagreement, not just a factual contrast.
The phrase विरोध में (virodh mein) is also related but carries a different connotation. It means 'in opposition to' or 'against'. While 'इसके विपरीत' is neutral and factual (e.g., black is the opposite of white), 'विरोध में' implies an active clash of wills, ideas, or forces. For example, 'उसने प्रस्ताव के विरोध में वोट दिया' (He voted in opposition to the proposal). You would not use 'इसके विपरीत' here because it's an action of resistance, not just a contrasting state of being.
जनता ने नए कानून के विरोध में प्रदर्शन किया। (The public protested in opposition to the new law.)
- दूसरी ओर (Doosri Oor)
- Meaning: On the other hand. Usage: Excellent for presenting two sides of an argument without implying they are exact opposites.
एक ओर वह पढ़ाई में अच्छा है, दूसरी ओर खेल में भी तेज़ है। (On one hand he is good at studies, on the other hand he is also fast in sports.)
Finally, दूसरी ओर (doosri oor) or दूसरी तरफ (doosri taraf), meaning 'on the other hand', is a fantastic alternative. It is slightly softer than 'इसके विपरीत'. While 'इसके विपरीत' demands a strong contrast, 'दूसरी ओर' simply introduces a different perspective or a balancing fact. By mastering these variations—'इसके उलट' for casual chat, 'बल्कि' for corrections, 'विरोध में' for conflict, and 'दूसरी ओर' for balanced arguments—you can use 'इसके विपरीत' exactly when its strong, contrasting power is needed most.

نحوه استفاده
It is highly effective in IELTS/OPIc style language proficiency tests to show your ability to use complex cohesive devices.
- Using 'इससे विपरीत' instead of 'इसके विपरीत'.
- Using it as a direct translation for 'but' in non-contrasting situations.
- Forgetting to pause or use a comma, making the sentence a run-on.
- Using 'लेकिन इसके विपरीत' (redundant use of 'but' and 'on the contrary').
- Confusing it with 'बल्कि' (rather/instead).
نکات
Don't forget the 'के'
Always use the possessive marker 'के' before 'विपरीत'. It is 'इसके विपरीत' or 'नियम के विपरीत'. Never just 'इस विपरीत'.
Use a comma
When writing, always place a comma after 'इसके विपरीत' if it starts a new clause. It helps the reader pause and prepare for the contrast.
The Dramatic Pause
In spoken Hindi, pause for half a second before saying 'इसके विपरीत'. It makes you sound thoughtful and emphasizes your point.
Upgrade your 'But'
If you find yourself using 'लेकिन' (lekin) too much in an essay, swap one out for 'इसके विपरीत' to instantly boost your language score.
Expectation vs Reality
Memorize the phrase 'उम्मीद के विपरीत' (ummeed ke vipreet). It means 'contrary to expectation' and is incredibly common in daily life.
Parallel Structure
Try to make the sentences before and after 'इसके विपरीत' grammatically similar. 'वह खेल रहा है, इसके विपरीत मैं पढ़ रहा हूँ' sounds better than 'वह खेल रहा है, इसके विपरीत मेरी पढ़ाई हो रही है'.
Know your audience
Use 'इसके विपरीत' with teachers or in interviews. Use 'इसके उलट' with friends to sound more natural and less like a textbook.
Not for simple exceptions
Don't use it for simple exceptions. 'I like all fruits except apples' cannot use 'इसके विपरीत'. It must be a direct contrast.
Spot it in the news
Read Hindi newspapers. You will find 'इसके विपरीत' used frequently in the editorial section to contrast political opinions.
Great for conclusions
Use it in the concluding paragraph of an essay to summarize the opposing view before giving your final verdict.

Using 'इसके विपरीत' is considered very polite and objective in disagreements, as it attacks the argument or fact, not the person.
While understood everywhere, in heavily Urdu-speaking areas, you might hear 'इसके बरअक्स' (iske bar'aks) used in the exact same way.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالNot always. 'लेकिन' means 'but' and is used for simple contrast. 'इसके विपरीत' means 'on the contrary' and is used for strong, direct opposites. If you say 'I am tired but I will work', use 'लेकिन'. If you say 'He is tall, on the contrary, I am short', use 'इसके विपरीत'.
It leans towards formal because of its Sanskrit origin, but it is widely understood and used in everyday speech when making a strong point. For very casual speech, 'इसके उलट' is a good alternative.
No. If you are contrasting with a specific noun, you drop 'इस' and use 'के'. For example, 'नियम के विपरीत' (contrary to the rule). 'इसके' is used when referring back to a whole previous sentence (contrary to *this*).
It usually goes at the beginning of the second, contrasting sentence or clause. Example: 'राम सो रहा है। इसके विपरीत, श्याम पढ़ रहा है।'
It is very rare and sounds unnatural in Hindi to put 'इसके विपरीत' at the absolute end of a sentence. It functions as a bridge, so it needs to be between the two ideas.
The most common Urdu equivalent used in Hindustani is 'इसके बरअक्स' (iske bar'aks). It functions exactly the same way.
In Hindi, the 'v' (व) is pronounced somewhere between an English 'v' and 'w'. Your teeth lightly touch your lower lip, but not as hard as an English 'v'.
Yes, for very advanced, formal sentences. 'यद्यपि उसने मेहनत की, तथापि इसके विपरीत वह फेल हो गया' (Although he worked hard, nevertheless, on the contrary, he failed). However, it can be slightly redundant.
It can be both. In 'विपरीत दिशा' (opposite direction), it is an adjective. In 'इसके विपरीत' (in contrast to this), the whole phrase acts as an adverbial conjunction.
'उल्टा' is the colloquial, everyday word for 'opposite' or 'upside down'. 'विपरीत' is the formal, standard word. 'इसके उल्टे' or 'इसके उलट' means the same as 'इसके विपरीत'.

Summary
Use 'इसके विपरीत' to sound smart and analytical when you want to show that two things are complete opposites, like comparing day and night, or expectations versus reality.
- Means 'in contrast to' or 'on the contrary'.
- Used to connect two opposing statements.
- More formal and stronger than 'लेकिन' (but).
- Can be used as 'के विपरीत' (contrary to [noun]).
Don't forget the 'के'
Always use the possessive marker 'के' before 'विपरीत'. It is 'इसके विपरीत' or 'नियम के विपरीत'. Never just 'इस विपरीत'.
Use a comma
When writing, always place a comma after 'इसके विपरीत' if it starts a new clause. It helps the reader pause and prepare for the contrast.
The Dramatic Pause
In spoken Hindi, pause for half a second before saying 'इसके विपरीत'. It makes you sound thoughtful and emphasizes your point.
Upgrade your 'But'
If you find yourself using 'लेकिन' (lekin) too much in an essay, swap one out for 'इसके विपरीत' to instantly boost your language score.
