Today’s “Word of the Day” is “travesty“ and it is a noun meaning “a false representation of something; misrepresentation, distortion, perversion, poor imitation, caricature, farce, joke, mockery, parody, sham; (Travesty is derived from the French travesti, which means “dressed in a disguise.”)”.
Example Sentence: Even funding for central universities and institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and the All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences is contributed indirectly and disproportionately by non-Hindi-speaking States. It will be a travesty of justice if funds from non-Hindi-speaking States are used to fund the artificial growth of Hindi at the cost of the fundamental rights of non-Hindi-speaking Indians. This imposition of Hindi is a direct assault on federalism and the principle of equal citizenship.
