Please note that there would be different equivalents in English for the word *oppressed* in English.

For example, if you are using Oppressed in the sense of a compelled and helpless person, then it would be *Majboor*.

If you mean to say a wronged person by means of oppressed, then it would be translated as *Mazloom*.

Likewise, if you intend to mean struck or stricked by the word oppressed, then it would be substituted as *Zadah*

Hope this helps.

There appears to be some confusion in the mind of my learned friend i.e. Mr. Naseeruddin that oppressed can be used in the form of verb only and it seems that he thinks this particular word i.e. oppressed can not be used as adjective.

In this connection, I would like to draw his kind attention to the following excerpt from hyperdictionary:

OPPRESSED

Pronunciation: upr\'est

WordNet Dictionary

Definition: [adj] burdened psychologically or mentally; \"laden with grief\"; \"oppressed by a sense of failure\"
[adj] wrongfully subjugated and oppressed

Synonyms: burdened, downtrodden, laden, persecuted, wronged

He may kindly note from the above that *oppressed* may be used an adjective also in addition to verb. Oppressed (adjective) is a person who has been oppressed (verb) by an oppressor (noun)

Hope this clarifies the situation :o)

  -> Above suggestions definitely hold good if oppressed is used in the sense of an adjective.Of course,it could serve as verb also BUT while used as adjective,it has above shades of meanings.Asker hasn't precisely asked for meanings in the sense of verb only
agree  Aisha Rishi

  -> Thanks for your approval.The above meanings seem to be very much relevant if oppressed is used as an adjective.Moreover, the Asker has not given requisite details,so it could go both ways

Zaalimana Hukumat Karna/Tashaddud se Hukumat Karna


Explanation:
Oppress is a Verb which have many meanings. Though due to lack of context, below are few options:

1) Zaalimana Hukumat Karna
2) Tashaddud se Hukumat Karna
3) Takleef Deh Hona
4) Kuchalna
5) Sataana

This is also to be noted that Oppressive (adjective), Oppressively (adverb), Oppressor (noun) - all are slightly different. Like Oppressive is Zaalimana, Oppressive is Zulm wa Tashaddud se, and Oppressor is Bey Insaaf aur Zaalim.

If you provide more context, I shall be in a better position to choose a exact term.

Typo:

Oppressive is Zulm wa Tashaddud se - Oppressive should be replaced by Oppressively here.

Oppress is a Verb which have many meanings
Please read HAS in place is HAVE.

  -> Yes, you're right but do you think OPPRESSED is an adjective? You're a better person to judge if English is concerned. As far as my little knowledge is concerned, there is some difference between OPPRESSIVE and OPPRESSED.
