意味
To feel suddenly shocked, insecure, or lose one's footing due to a surprise.
文化的背景
Land is seen as the only 'true' asset. Losing land or having it move is the ultimate catastrophe. The idiom is a visual trope. Directors often use a 'zoom-in, track-out' camera shot to mimic the feeling of the idiom. Used frequently in business news to describe market disruptions or 'Unicorn' startups failing. Poets use this to describe the fragility of human ego against the forces of nature or fate.
Use with 'Mano'
Pair it with 'मानो' (as if) for a more literary effect: 'उसे ऐसा लगा मानो उसके पाँव तले ज़मीन खिसक गई हो।'
Gender Agreement
Always remember 'Zameen' is feminine. 'Khisak gaya' is a dead giveaway of a non-native speaker.
