Meaning
To adapt to new circumstances or alterations.
Cultural Background
In Indian offices, 'badlav ko svikar karna' is often used by leadership to soften the blow of restructuring. It appeals to the employee's sense of duty and resilience. The concept of 'Svikar' is linked to 'Prarabdha' (destiny). Accepting change is seen as aligning oneself with the cosmic order (Rta). Among the youth, this phrase is often used in the context of 'Mental Health'—accepting changes in one's mental state or life path without guilt. Many Hindi poems (Kavita) use 'parivartan' (a synonym) to describe the cycle of seasons as a metaphor for human life, urging the reader to accept change.
Use 'Svikriti' for Nouns

Don't forget the 'Ko'
