2 hrs confidence: 
The unscrupulous hold complete sway and scrupulous are disgraced. Explanation: This is opposite of the Hindi proverb actually, which goes: सच्चे का बोलबाला, झूठे का मुंह काला(Sache ka bolbalaa, jhuthe ka munha kalaa.), meaning, the scrupulous hold complete sway and the unscrupulous are disgraced. |

2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +5
peer agreement (net): +5There ain't justice. Explanation: This English idiom seems to be an equivalent for the Hindi proverb mentioned by you. Literally it may be translated as: The liars/bad people are flourishing and the truthful/righteous/virtuous people are suffering. But I think it is better to replace an idiom/proverb with an equivalent idiom/proverb, if possible, to communicate the same expression with equal force, tinge and flavour. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-10-07 17:32:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- typo: please read "seems to be equivalent" in place of "seems to be an equivalent" |
