Andha Dhund
Re: what's the correct word? tell us!
Andha Dhund
CORRECT! congrats...andha means to shoot in the dark** [target unknown]**** and similarly *dundh [intense fog] *also implies shooting randomly in the dark, hoping that you'll hit something...hence the phrase 'andha dhund' firing kii :)**

(Is that a nun ghunna in the name Khan? I always pronounce it with a proper nun ... am I wrong to do that?)
Anyway ... to me andha = blind ... I didn't know andha means "to shoot in the dark" or "target unknown" ... but yes dhund I got right ... I would have said dhund is "fog" ... but in that case dhun is fog in punjabi ... so that might explain why some people say that.
But still I don't get the meaning ... The NATO oil tankers were fired upon like blind fog ... I don't get it !!!
It would make sense to me if andhaa dhund was actually one word - i.e. if it is a composite word which means "blindly" would that be right?

no no andha does mean blind NOT "to shoot in the dark".
just imagine a blind person firing...he will keep shooting in different directions without knowing where his bullets are going.
and if we stand in the fog and start shooting again we wont be able to tell where the bullets are going...
if you take andha dhund by its literal meaning i.e. blind fog then it wont make sense....
basically it means the person just kept on firing without targetting at the aim.
is that any clear?
Re: what's the correct word? tell us!
^ clear as fog (just kidding)

TRUE! it's a moHaavarah...the meaning i gave is an implied meaning like a blind man shooting at random OR some one shooting thru the intense fog, not knowing where the target is...so, the moHaavarah is a 2-word phrase. :)**
Re: what’s the correct word? tell us!
lol…do you have a fog-headlight? 
Re: what’s the correct word? tell us!
what andha-dhund has anything to do with firing? 
Andha-dhund means blindly, it has nothing to do with dark.
