Heresy में 'हर ऐसी' सुनिए। समाज जो भी मानता है, हर ऐसी बात का उल्टा मत रखना ही heresy है, यानी स्थापित मान्यताओं के विरुद्ध मत।

Hear 'har aisi' (every such thing) in HERESY. Whatever society believes, a heretic holds the opposite of every such belief. An opinion that goes against accepted doctrine is heresy.

Exam note

Heresy मत है और heretic वह व्यक्ति; opposite orthodoxy है। Apostate (धर्म त्यागने वाला) और renegade (पक्ष बदलने वाला) को अलग रखिए।

Heresy is the belief and a heretic is the person; the opposite is orthodoxy. Keep apostate (one who abandons a faith) and renegade (one who changes sides) apart.
