westerner: n. gora/farañgi/maGHribi mulk ka/wilayati

westernise: v.i. farañgi atwaar apnaana/maGHrib zadah hojana/

To Asghar: I added "bahut" because "bura" just means "bad" and "evil" is a much stronger word than "bad". The "bahut" is intented to intensify the meaning of "bad" and bring it at par with "evil".

disagree  Ashar: If you just rely on dictionaries for getting points in Kudoz section, then I am sorry to let you know that please try this adventure in your own language and spare the other languages where you don't have any concept. This will help innocent people.
