bhakt

Where it comes from

Transliteration of Hindi भक्त (bhakt).

noun bhakts

  1. Hinduism Someone who practises bhakti; a person who is devoted to God; a devotee; a worshipper; a religious disciple. In commenting on these stories, Ganga Giri selects the virtues of suffering and sacrifice exhibited variously by the male bhakts as characteristic of renunciant bhakti.
  2. derogatory, slang, slur A devout Hindu.
  3. India, derogatory, slang An ardent right-wing Hindu nationalist netizen. Even if Modi didn't look closely at his tweets, his team and followers certainly did. If the Gandhi family had their political chamchas, Modi had his 'Internet Hindus' (or bhakts, as I called them).
  4. India, derogatory, slang An ardent supporter of the Bharatiya Janata Party or its leader Narendra Modi.

Similar: bhakta, bhagwa, chaddi, sanghi, kattar, malaun, Sanatani · Opposite: sickular, librandu, congi, Macaulay's children, virodhi, andh virodhi
