Bho - Sad - Ike

bho (भो) means ------ "hello", exclamation used in calling or directly addressing a person sadi (अश्वारोहः सादिन्) means ------ rider ke (as used in के इमे पुरुषाः ?) who are you man?

"BHOSADIKE"
It may surprise you to know that the origin of the phrase "Bhosadike" is, in fact, an ancient Sanskrit greeting, "Bho sad ike?" meaning, "Sir, are you well?"
'Bho' is a term used for respectful greeting, similar to 'Aho!'.
Brahmins will know it since it is also used in the abhivadaye.
'Sad' is a prefix used for 'good things', as in sadguru, sadiccha etc.
'Ika' is a atmanepadi verb meaning 'to be'.
Other forms of this are: - 'Ike ikaavahe ikaamahe' - 'Ikase ikethe ikadhve' - 'Ikate ikete ikante'Hence "Bhosadike" was a popular form of greeting in ancient India, before the Muslims invaded India and prohibited it for some reason.

However some steadfast Indians continued to use this greeting. Therefore, to asassinate this greeting morally, the Mughals gave it profane and vulgar connotations, which unfortunately prevail even to this day.It is time we revived our ancient Indian traditions heeding to the call of the purists to go back to our ancient way of life.
So say "BHOSADIKE" to all the people you meet and explain to them its true, pure meaning
