WHAT DOES BABUL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Babul

Babul is an old Urdu-Hindi term for father indicating a daughter's affection. The term is now mainly used in Bollywood songs in the context of a newly married daughter leaving her father's home. In parts of northern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the conclusion of a daughter's marriage, marked by the bidaai ceremony, is a profoundly sad occasion, because after this she leaves her father's house and permanently relocates to her husband's family. The moment thus marks the end of her past life and the beginning of a new one. The expression of this sentiment varies, but is usually in the formed of hushed sobs, while maintaining sober calmness and composure. This sentiment is often reflected in Bollywood and regional films.

Definition of babul in the English dictionary
