બેઠક Bethak

મૂર્ખાઓના ગામમાં ધુતારા વસે, ધપ્પા પડે ને ખડખડ હસે.

mūrkhāōnā gāmamāṁ dhutārā vasē, dhappā paḍē nē khaḍakhaḍa hasē.

Literally
In the village of fools, swindlers reside; blows are dealt, and they laugh out loud.
What it means
Con artists easily thrive and exploit people in a community of gullible fools.
