दूरदर्शन در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Dūrdarshan is the formal Hindi word for television.
- It is a compound of 'Dur' (far) and 'Darshan' (vision).
- It also refers specifically to India's national public broadcaster.
- While 'TV' is common in slang, 'Dūrdarshan' is used in formal contexts.
The word दूरदर्शन (Dūrdarshan) is a profound example of how Hindi synthesizes modern technology through its Sanskrit roots. At its most basic level, it translates to 'Television.' However, the word carries a weight of formality and historical significance that the common loanword 'TV' does not. It is a compound of two Sanskrit-derived words: दूर (dūr) meaning 'far' or 'distant,' and दर्शन (darshan) meaning 'vision,' 'sight,' or 'viewing.' Thus, the literal meaning is 'distant vision' or 'seeing from afar,' which perfectly encapsulates the technical function of a television set.
- Formal Usage
- In official documents, news broadcasts, and academic textbooks, 'दूरदर्शन' is the standard term. While a child might say 'TV chalao' (Turn on the TV), a news anchor would refer to the medium as 'दूरदर्शन के माध्यम से' (Through the medium of television).
- National Identity
- It is crucial to note that 'Doordarshan' is also the name of India's autonomous public service broadcaster. For many Indians, the word evokes nostalgia for the 1980s and 90s when there was only one channel available, making the word synonymous with the specific government-run network.
पुराने समय में, पूरा परिवार एक साथ बैठकर दूरदर्शन देखता था। (In the old days, the whole family would sit together and watch television.)
Understanding when to use this word versus the English 'TV' is a key marker of linguistic proficiency. If you are discussing the sociological impact of mass media, 'दूरदर्शन' is appropriate. If you are asking your friend to change the channel because a boring cricket match is on, 'TV' is more natural. This distinction between the 'tatsama' (Sanskrit-derived) formal word and the everyday loanword is a common feature of Hindi speech patterns.
आजकल दूरदर्शन की जगह मोबाइल ने ले ली है। (Nowadays, the mobile phone has taken the place of the television.)
- Technical Context
- In technical manuals or when describing the hardware of the device, you might see terms like 'दूरदर्शन सेट' (Television set). It emphasizes the physical apparatus rather than the content.
The word also appears in various compound forms in literature. For instance, 'दूरदर्शन-प्रसारण' (Television broadcasting) or 'दूरदर्शन-केंद्र' (Television center/station). These terms are highly formal and are used in administrative contexts. For an English speaker, learning this word provides a window into the Sanskritized register of Hindi, which is essential for reading newspapers or understanding formal speeches by public figures.
शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में दूरदर्शन का बड़ा योगदान है। (Television has a great contribution in the field of education.)
Using दूरदर्शन effectively requires an understanding of Hindi grammar, particularly the use of postpositions like 'पर' (on) and 'के' (of). Since it is a masculine noun, any adjectives or verbs associated with it must agree with its gender. For example, 'बड़ा दूरदर्शन' (large television) or 'दूरदर्शन चल रहा है' (the television is running/on).
बच्चे दूरदर्शन के सामने बैठे हैं। (The children are sitting in front of the television.)
In this sentence, 'दूरदर्शन के सामने' uses the postposition 'के सामने' (in front of), which triggers the oblique case, though 'दूरदर्शन' remains unchanged in its spelling as it is a masculine noun ending in a consonant. This is a common pattern for CEFR A2 learners to master.
- Action Verbs
- Common verbs used with this word include 'देखना' (to watch), 'चलाना' (to turn on/operate), and 'बंद करना' (to turn off). Example: 'कृपया दूरदर्शन बंद कर दीजिए' (Please turn off the television).
When discussing the impact of television, you might use more complex structures. For instance, using 'का' (of) to show possession or relationship: 'दूरदर्शन का प्रभाव' (the influence of television). Here, 'का' agrees with 'प्रभाव' (influence), which is also masculine.
क्या आपके घर में दूरदर्शन है? (Is there a television in your house?)
For learners at the B1 and B2 levels, incorporating 'दूरदर्शन' into passive or formal constructions is vital. Consider the sentence: 'दूरदर्शन द्वारा सूचनाएँ प्रसारित की जाती हैं' (Information is broadcast by television). This uses the formal 'द्वारा' (by/through) which pairs perfectly with the formal register of 'दूरदर्शन'.
मैंने कल दूरदर्शन पर एक रोचक कार्यक्रम देखा। (I watched an interesting program on television yesterday.)
Finally, remember that in plural contexts, 'दूरदर्शन' typically remains the same (unmarked plural) unless followed by a postposition, where it might take the '-ओं' ending in very specific poetic or archaic contexts, though this is rare in modern speech. 'कई दूरदर्शन सेट' (Many television sets) is the preferred way to express plurality.
The auditory landscape of India is filled with both 'TV' and 'दूरदर्शन,' but they occupy different niches. If you are listening to All India Radio (Akashvani) or watching a news bulletin on a state-sponsored channel, 'दूरदर्शन' is the term you will hear 100% of the time. It is the language of the state, the language of education, and the language of formal discourse.
'यह दूरदर्शन का समाचार विभाग है।' (This is the news department of Doordarshan.)
This iconic phrase has been heard by millions of Indians for decades. In schools, teachers use 'दूरदर्शन' when giving lectures on the pros and cons of technology. You will find it in Hindi textbooks from primary school through university. It is also the word used in legal and government announcements. For example, if the government issues a public service announcement about health, the script will likely use 'दूरदर्शन' to maintain a tone of authority.
- In Literature
- Hindi novels and short stories often use 'दूरदर्शन' to describe a scene in a middle-class household. It evokes a sense of tradition or a specific era of Indian history before the explosion of private satellite channels.
In rural areas or among the older generation, 'दूरदर्शन' is used with a sense of respect for the medium. While the younger, urban population might exclusively use 'TV' or 'streaming,' the word 'दूरदर्शन' remains a pillar of the 'Shuddh Hindi' (Pure Hindi) movement. If you attend a formal debate or a literary festival (Sahitya Sammelan), 'दूरदर्शन' is the only acceptable term.
सरकार दूरदर्शन के जरिए किसानों को जागरूक कर रही है। (The government is making farmers aware through television.)
One of the most frequent errors English speakers make is using 'दूरदर्शन' in a casual setting where it feels out of place. Imagine walking into a friend's living room and saying, "May I watch the Doordarshan?" It sounds overly stiff, similar to saying "May I observe the tele-visual apparatus?" in English. The first rule is: Context determines the word.
- Gender Confusion
- As mentioned earlier, 'दूरदर्शन' is masculine. English speakers often default to feminine because they associate 'TV' with the feminine gender in some contexts. Saying 'दूरदर्शन अच्छी है' is incorrect; it must be 'दूरदर्शन अच्छा है.'
- The 'Channel' vs. 'Device' Trap
- Many learners assume 'दूरदर्शन' only refers to the government channel. While that is its most common proper noun usage, it is also the general noun for the device. However, if you say 'I am watching Doordarshan,' people will assume you are watching the specific Indian national channel, not Netflix on a TV screen.
Incorrect: मैं दूरदर्शन देख रही हूँ। (When watching Netflix)
Correct: मैं टीवी देख रही हूँ।
Another mistake is over-Sanskritizing the entire sentence. If you use 'दूरदर्शन,' the rest of your sentence should ideally match that formal register. Using 'दूरदर्शन' with heavy slang or 'Hinglish' creates a linguistic mismatch. For example, 'दूरदर्शन is very cool, bro' sounds jarring. Instead, use 'दूरदर्शन सूचना का एक सशक्त माध्यम है' (Television is a powerful medium of information).
गलत: क्या तुम दूरदर्शन ऑन करोगे? (Too formal for 'on')
सही: क्या तुम टीवी चलाओगे?
While दूरदर्शन is the standard formal term, there are several alternatives depending on the register and context. Understanding these helps in choosing the right word for the right audience.
- टीवी (TV)
- The most common, everyday term. Used by 99% of people in casual conversation. It is neutral and universally understood.
- टेलीविज़न (Television)
- A direct loanword from English, often used in technical or semi-formal contexts where 'दूरदर्शन' might feel too 'pure' or old-fashioned.
- इडियट बॉक्स (Idiot Box)
- Sometimes translated as 'मूर्ख डिब्बा,' though the English phrase is more commonly used in Hinglish to criticize excessive TV watching.
आजकल लोग टेलीविज़न से ज़्यादा ओटीटी प्लेटफॉर्म पसंद करते हैं। (Nowadays people prefer OTT platforms more than television.)
In a comparative sense, 'दूरदर्शन' is like saying 'Cinema' while 'TV' is like saying 'a movie.' One refers to the institution and the formal medium, the other to the act or the device. There is also the word 'प्रसारण' (broadcasting), which is often used alongside 'दूरदर्शन' but refers to the act of sending signals rather than the device itself.
Another related term is 'चित्रपट' (Chitrapat), which specifically means 'movie screen' or 'cinema.' While 'दूरदर्शन' shows images, 'चित्रपट' is reserved for the film industry. Confusing the two would be a mistake in formal writing. Similarly, 'आकाशवाणी' (Akashvani) is the formal term for Radio, often paired with 'दूरदर्शन' in lists of mass media.
रेडियो और दूरदर्शन जनसंचार के प्रमुख अंग हैं। (Radio and television are major parts of mass communication.)

نکته جالب
When television was first introduced in India in 1959, it didn't have a specific name. The word 'Doordarshan' was chosen later to give it a distinct Indian identity, separate from the English term 'Television.'
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'Dur' as 'Der' (like 'dirt'). It should be 'Doo-r'.
- Using a hard English 'D' instead of the soft Hindi dental 'd'.
- Pronouncing 'sh' as 's' (Dar-san instead of Dar-shan).
- Swapping the 'r' and 'd' sounds due to rapid speech.
- Mumbling the final 'n' sound.

Summary
Always use 'दूरदर्शन' (Dūrdarshan) when writing formal essays or speaking in professional settings in Hindi. It demonstrates a high level of vocabulary and respect for the language's Sanskrit roots. Example: 'दूरदर्शन ज्ञान का भंडार है' (Television is a storehouse of knowledge).
- Dūrdarshan is the formal Hindi word for television.
- It is a compound of 'Dur' (far) and 'Darshan' (vision).
- It also refers specifically to India's national public broadcaster.
- While 'TV' is common in slang, 'Dūrdarshan' is used in formal contexts.
Root Words
Learning the roots 'Dur' and 'Darshan' will help you understand dozens of other Hindi words like 'Dur-bhash' (Telephone) and 'Pradarshan' (Exhibition).
Nostalgia
Mentioning 'Doordarshan' to an Indian person over 40 will likely start a long conversation about old TV shows like 'Malgudi Days'.
Masculine Agreement
Always remember to keep your adjectives masculine. 'Mera (my) Doordarshan' not 'Meri Doordarshan'.
The 'Sh' Sound
The 'sh' in Darshan is palatal. Practice by placing your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
مثال
बच्चे दूरदर्शन पर कार्टून देख रहे थे।
