Today’s “Word of the Day” is “subterfuge“ and it is a noun meaning “deception, trickery, tactic, cunning (action), intrigue, skullduggery, dishonesty (to achieve one’s aim/objective)”.
Example Sentence: The logistical or legal justifications of the Union government to not disclose caste census data and refuse to conduct a full caste enumeration in the forthcoming Census do not stand scrutiny. Rather, it creates ground for suspicion whether the establishment has vested interests in concealing the real numbers and proportions of various castes in the Indian population. Such subterfuge would not be acceptable to a wide spectrum of social movements and political parties, who are demanding full caste enumeration.
