Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “a voice in the wilderness“ and it is a phrase meaning “a lone voice that goes unnoticed; an ignored idea or opinion (expressed by the sole person)”.
Example Sentence: Wading through the Constituent Assembly debates, one comes across these wise words of Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava, a conscientious member of the Assembly: “He (Governor) will be a man above party and he will look at the minister and government from a detached (neutral/fair-minded) stand point”. Detachment (fair-mindedness/impartiality) is the essence of India’s ancient culture. But Pandit Thakur Das’s voice has ended up as a voice in the wilderness.
