Badal (revenge)

Badal, or revenge, refers to the act of seeking retribution or inflicting harm on someone in response to a perceived injustice or wrongdoing. This concept is often rooted in emotional responses like anger or hurt, motivating individuals to restore a sense of balance or justice. While revenge can offer temporary satisfaction, it typically perpetuates a cycle of conflict and can lead to more harm. In literature, folklore, and psychology, badal is frequently explored as a theme that highlights the complexities of human emotions, moral dilemmas, and the consequences of actions taken in anger.
