जीवनमान
/jeevanman/Roman
English meaning: Standard of Living
Definition
The degree of wealth and material comfort available to a person or community. Maharashtra has the highest per capita income among India's major states. Mumbai's extreme inequality — housing luxury skyscrapers next to Asia's largest slum Dharavi — reflects the gap in living standards.
Example
“महाराष्ट्रात जीवनमानात मोठी विषमता आहे.”
In English: “There is great inequality in standard of living in Maharashtra.”
Literary Heritage
“जाती भेद नको, धर्म भेद नको, माणूस माणसाशी माणसासारखा वागो”
/jātī bheda nako, dharma bheda nako, māṇūsa māṇasāśī māṇasāsārakha vāgo/
“No caste distinctions, no religious divisions — let person treat person as a human being.”
