Meaning
Without caring about the outcomes or repercussions of one's actions.
Cultural Background
The phrase is a modern linguistic avatar of 'Nishkama Karma' from the Bhagavad Gita, which teaches that one has a right to work, but not to the fruits of work. In 1970s-80s 'Angry Young Man' films, this phrase was used to define the hero's defiance against a corrupt system. Whistleblowers in India, like those exposing the Vyapam scam, are often described using this phrase to highlight their bravery against powerful interests. In the booming startup scene of Bengaluru and Gurgaon, this phrase is being repurposed to describe 'disruptive' entrepreneurs.
