Meaning
Considering a situation or topic from a specific point of view or angle.
Cultural Background
In Indian universities, using Sanskritized Hindi like 'Drishtikon' is a mark of high education. Students are encouraged to move away from 'Hinglish' or casual Urdu to show mastery of formal registers. Hindi news channels (like NDTV India or Aaj Tak) use this phrase constantly to maintain an air of objectivity. It helps the anchor sound neutral while presenting different sides of a political story. While many Indian offices use English, those that use Hindi (especially in PSU/Government sectors) rely on this phrase for policy discussions and formal reports. In 'Satsangs' or spiritual discourses, gurus use 'Drishtikon' to explain how the world is an illusion depending on how you look at it.
Pair with Adjectives
To sound like a native C1 speaker, always pair it with an adjective like 'आर्थिक' (economic) or 'मनोवैज्ञानिक' (psychological) instead of just saying 'this perspective'.
Don't Overuse
If you use it in every sentence, you will sound like a textbook. Save it for your most important points.
