The Hindi phrase वारिस बनाना (vāris banānā) is a compound verb that translates literally to 'to make (someone) an heir.' In the social and legal fabric of Hindi-speaking communities, this term carries significant weight, often associated with inheritance, lineage, and the passing of wealth or responsibility. The word वारिस (vāris) is derived from Arabic roots and refers to a successor or inheritor, while बनाना (banānā) is the common Hindi verb for 'to make' or 'to create.' Together, they describe the formal or informal act of designating someone to receive property, titles, or a legacy after one's death.
- Legal Context
- In a legal sense, this refers to the act of naming a beneficiary in a will (वसीयत). It involves the transfer of legal rights over assets. For example, 'उन्होंने अपने पोते को कानूनी रूप से वारिस बनाया' (He legally made his grandson his heir).
- Social/Royal Context
- Historically, in the context of kingdoms and dynasties, this phrase was used when a King would announce his successor. It wasn't just about money; it was about the continuation of a name and authority.
- Metaphorical Context
- In modern usage, it can be used metaphorically to describe passing on a tradition or a business legacy. A mentor might make a student their 'waris' of knowledge.
बुजुर्ग जमींदार ने अपनी वसीयत में अपने वफादार नौकर को भी वारिस बनाया।
क्या तुम मुझे अपना वारिस बनाना चाहते हो?
उसने समाज सेवा को ही अपना वारिस बनाया।

सरकार ने उस लावारिस संपत्ति का राज्य को वारिस बनाया।
Using वारिस बनाना correctly requires understanding its nature as a transitive compound verb. In Hindi, when you use a verb that involves an action done to someone, the object often takes the 'को' marker. This is especially true for 'वारिस बनाना' because the 'heir' is almost always a person or a specific entity.
- Past Tense Construction
- In the past tense (Perfective aspect), because 'बनाना' is transitive, the subject takes 'ने'. Example: 'पिता ने बेटे को वारिस बनाया' (The father made the son the heir). Notice the verb 'बनाया' agrees with the masculine singular 'वारिस' or remains in the default masculine singular form if the object is marked with 'को'.
- Future Tense Construction
- 'मैं तुम्हें अपना वारिस बनाऊँगा' (I will make you my heir). Here, the verb 'बनाऊँगा' agrees with the subject 'मैं'.
The structure is: [Subject] + [Object] + को + [Possessive/Adjective] + वारिस + बनाना.
Let's look at more complex sentence structures involving this phrase. It is frequently paired with words like संपत्ति (property), गद्दी (throne), or साम्राज्य (empire) to specify what exactly is being inherited.
उन्होंने अपनी सारी संपत्ति का मुझे वारिस बनाया है।
क्या आप किसी अजनबी को वारिस बनाना पसंद करेंगे?
While 'वारिस बनाना' might sound like a phrase reserved for period dramas or legal offices, it actually appears in various layers of Hindi conversation, from formal legalities to daily gossip and literature.
- News and Media
- In news reports regarding the death of a wealthy businessman or a political leader, the media often discusses who will be 'made the heir' of the party or the company. 'पार्टी अध्यक्ष ने अपने बेटे को राजनीतिक वारिस बनाया।'
- Bollywood and Storytelling
- The trope of a rich, childless person looking for someone to 'make their heir' is a staple of Indian cinema. It creates instant conflict and motivation for the characters.
- Religious and Philosophical Discourse
- In Sufi or spiritual contexts, a Guru or Pir might make a disciple their 'spiritual heir' (spiritual waris), passing on their teachings and authority.
अदालत ने तय किया कि किसे वारिस बनाना उचित है।
उसने अपनी कला का वारिस बनाना चाहा, पर कोई योग्य नहीं मिला।
Learners often struggle with the syntax and the specific vocabulary choices when trying to express the idea of naming an heir. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid:
- Confusing 'बनाना' and 'होना'
- Saying 'वह वारिस बनाया' when you mean 'He became the heir' is a common error. 'बनाना' is active—someone else did the making. Use 'बनना' for 'to become'. Correct: 'वह वारिस बना' (He became the heir) vs 'उसे वारिस बनाया गया' (He was made the heir).
- Misusing Postpositions
- Often learners forget the 'को' after the person being made an heir. Incorrect: 'राजा ने राजकुमार वारिस बनाया।' Correct: 'राजा ने राजकुमार को वारिस बनाया।'
- Mixing Formal and Informal Synonyms
- While 'वारिस' is very common, in extremely formal Sanskritized Hindi (like government gazettes), 'उत्तराधिकारी' (uttarādhikārī) is used. Using 'वारिस' in a high-court document might be seen as slightly less formal, though still correct.
Incorrect: मैं तुम वारिस बनाऊँगा। (Main tum vāris banāūngā.)
Correct: मैं तुम्हें वारिस बनाऊँगा। (Main tumhein vāris banāūngā.)
Depending on the level of formality and the specific context (legal, religious, or casual), you might choose a different word than वारिस बनाना. Here is a comparison of the most common alternatives:
- उत्तराधिकारी नियुक्त करना (Uttarādhikārī Niyukt Karnā)
- Meaning: To appoint a successor. This is the most formal, Sanskrit-derived version. It is used in political, corporate, and legal contexts. 'नियुक्त करना' adds a layer of official appointment.
- वसीयत करना (Vasiyat Karnā)
- Meaning: To bequeath or to make a will. This focuses on the document and the act of giving away property rather than just the person receiving it.
- हकदार बनाना (Hakdār Banānā)
- Meaning: To make someone entitled. 'Hakdār' means someone who has a 'hak' (right). This is broader and can be used for rights other than just inheritance.
- जानशीन बनाना (Jānashīn Banānā)
- Meaning: To make a successor (Urdu/Persian origin). This is very poetic and formal, often used in literature or historical contexts regarding kings and spiritual leaders.
Comparison: 'वारिस' is the most versatile. 'उत्तराधिकारी' is for the office or law. 'जानशीन' is for the soul or the throne.
Le savais-tu ?
The word 'लावारिस' (Lā-vāris) literally means 'without an heir' (Lā = without). It is a very common Hindi word used for unclaimed bodies or abandoned objects.
Guide de prononciation
- Pronouncing 'v' as 'w' (waris instead of vāris).
- Shortening the long 'ā' sounds in 'banānā'.
- Putting too much stress on the first syllable of 'banānā' (BAnānā).
